LONDON, May 19.-An occurrence is re-
ported from Livadia which illustrates the
GOODNESS and physical courage of the ear.
Recently he started out to hunt and was
leaving the palace by rear staircase, which
he seldom used. just at the moment of
his maJesty'S appearance number of SOL
diers of the guard were rushing up the
stairs after brutal looking Monjik, whose
arms and hands were bound by straps of
leather. The prisoner was struggling turi
ously to escape. The guards tried to hurry
him away, but the car ordered them to
halt and asked, who is the MANI" They
explained that he was leader among the
local nihilistS, and had been prominent in
kindling the forest fires which had lately
occurred around Livadia. LET him be I'M
bound while he is in our presence" was
the unexpected order given by the car.
The moment the mans hands were freed
he crOuched, with his fingers clawing the
air as though he would throw himself bod
lily on the car and attack him with his nails.
Some of the officers of his majesty's staff
threw themSelvS between the nihillSt and the
car, but the latter motioned them aside.
and without a weapon in his hand or on his
person,
CALMLY AWAITED THE ATTACK.
1t came in an instant. The nihilist
made desperate spring, but while
he was still in the air his majesty caught
him by the right arm above the elbow,
and with the combined grip and twist well
known to wrestlers, threw him to the
ground with apparently as much ease as
he would have overthrown boy. The
nihlist scrambled to his feet and again
made similar spring. This time the car
caught him by the left arm with the same
grip, and again easily threw him to the
floor. The nihilst had by this time got
enough of it, and lay painting, but notion
less. The car took a seat close by, and
said to the vanQuished assassin: ''Now
tellsme what you dogs complain Of" The
PROSTATE nihilist at once be. an a long and
bitter arraignment of what he. and his
comrades considered the crimes for which
the car should die. He told him that he
had violated the memory of his own father
by declaring the emancipation of the
serfS a terrible mistake; that he had
done his best to restore the common people
of Russia to state of slavery; that he had
made thousands of unjustifable arrests.
accompanied by circumstances of the
of the utmost brutality; that he had kept
innocent prisoners confined in loathSome

until death or insanity had come to their
relief, and that he had many times prom
lsed Russia constitution, but had never
fulfilled his pledge. The last accusation
made by the nihiliSt is said to echo COM
plant which is very prevalent among the
troops in the Crimea. He said the Car
had taken all their best men away from
their farms and had kept them idle until
seed time was past so that they would have
nothing to live OH if they went home.
They had, he said, been promised that they
would be led against Constantinople, where
plumber enough was to be had to make them
rich for life, but instead of this they had
been kept uselessly drilling until there
seemed to be no prospect of war in any
quarter. The car listened to all the accu-
sations calmly, and with the exception of
firmly set expression about the mouth and
fierce CLEAN in the eye, there was nothing
to indicate that he was in the least degree
affected by the harrangue. When the
nihilist ceased the car arose, and said
to the officers nearest him: Now we will
resume our hunt" and the imperial party
left the palace. The nihilist was again
secured and taken to the cells in the base
ment of the palace. 1t is understood that
he was afterward flogged to death.
