SAVANNAH TENNESSEE, THURSDAY JULY 22 1886.
thousands of unjustifable arrests, &C

thousands of unjustifiable arrests, ac-
companied by circumstances of the ut
most brutality; that he had kept inno-
cent prisoners confined in loathsome
dungeons, without charges or trials,
until death or insanity had come to
their relief, and that he had many
times promised Russia constitution,
but had never fulfilled his pledge. The
last accusation made by the Nihilist is
said to echo a complaint which is very
prevalent among all the troops in the
Crimea. He said the Gar 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 on if they went
home. They had, he said, been prom
ised that they would be led against
Constantinople, where plunder enough
was to be had to make them rich for
life, but instead of this they had been
kept useless by drilling until there
seemed to be no prospect of war in any
quarter The Gar listened to all these
accusations calmly, and with the ex-
ception 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 harangue. When the Nihilist
ceased the Gar arose, and said, quietly,
to the officers nearest him: "Now we
will resume our hunt" and the imperi-
al party left the palace.
The Nihilist was again secured and
taken to the cells in the basement OF
the palace. 1t is understood that he
was afterward flogged to death. Lon

BONANZA HISTORY.
The Fate of James ID. Walker and His
High-Priced Book-Keeper.

The Fate of James ID. Walker and His
High-Priced Book-Keeper.
James d. Walker ten years ago was
a member of the bonanza firm, and his
check was good for S500,000, or a mil
lion, at any bank in the country. Then
Flood and Fair bought him out, and
Walker opened brokers' Office under
the Nevada Bank, in San Francisco, and
did all the business of his former part
ners. In these times Flood, Fair and
Mackey were on the top notch of specu-
lation. They were swinging the mar
ket at their own sweet will, and making
or breaking the thousands who were
battling with the fierce tide of stock
gambling. Alexander Austin, or
s.Sandy," as his friends used to call him,
had Just served his term as tax collector,
and went in with Walker. How they
did make things boom! The book-keep-
er got S400 month, and had a sump-
tuous lunch served every day in large
room in the rear of the office at the ex-
pense of the firm. Their expenses were
enormous, but so was their business.
The partners were clearing $4,000 a
month, but they were standing on the
brink of precipice. Flood remarked
that other and outside brok-
ers were manipulating certain
stock precisely as his own brokers. This
would never do; so he called consulta.
ton, and informed the Walker firm that
this sort of thing would not do; that
there was a traitor i'll the camp some
where, and that unless he was detected
and fired their relations could not con-
tinue. Close and earnest investigation
was made, but without avail. Then
came transaction of more than ordi-
nary Importance, but, to the intense dis
gust of the bonanza firm, it was appa-
rently foreseen and anticipated by these
outside brokers, kept posted apparently
by some traitor in the Walker-Austin
camp Then the bonanza people changed
their broker. and from that hour the
fortunes of Walker & Co. began to de-
cline Matters grew worse and worse.
Austin committed suicide. Walker sold
magnificent mansion in Oakland,
which cost him close to $500, 900, to
prop up the waning glory of the swell
firm. At last il was clean case of bust,
and don't believe Mr.. Walker to-day
could put his hand on $500. He discov.
cred. when too late, that the high-priced
book-keeper, was the traitor. He sold
/ his employers. but no luck ever came oi
his treachery. and he is to-day keeping
books at 500 a month for Hebrew
ciothes-dealer in Portland, Oregon

ABOUT TRUFFlES.
How Dogs Are Trained to Hunt These
Mysterious Hidden Plants.


Mysterious Hidden Plants.
Truffles, like mushrooms, belong to
the great family of the Fungi but are
distinct and very peculiar genus.
They are cryptogamic (hidden) plants,
and subterranean in their habits, their
position beneath the soil varying from
two or three inches to two or three
feet in depth. They have no root,
stem or leaf, and vary in color from
light brown to black. They are some
what globular in form, and vary in
size from filbert to large duck s
egg. Their surface is watery, and
covered with skin. Their exact
method of growth is unknown. They
are regarded as great luxury by the
epicure.
Truffles are mentioned by Juvenal,
Pliny, Plutarch and Martial The
Athenian epicures were acquainted
with them, and story is told of bon
UiUant who manumitted whole fami-
ly of slaves for having invented a de.
licious method of preparing them.
France has the credit of producing
the finest trutiles. Dogs are common
ly bred to hunt them, and are called
"Loulous."
1.-The method of breaking them,'
says a writer, 'is to give them for a
time pieces of truflles every morning,
before they are allowed to partake Of
any other food. After certain period,
when their appetite for truffles in
creases, pieces are hidden in the
ground and they are made to find
them. Thus they are gradually taught
their business, though it often takes
as long as eighteen months before 8
dog becomes skilled in the practical
art. A first-rate truffie-hunting dog
will command as much as twenty
five or thirty dollars, and it appear:
that of late years the search for the
tubers has been pursued by many per.
sons in France as branch of sport
."The action of the truffle-man in
stirring up the earth is said to stimu
late the growth of future generation
of tubers, though. as above mentioned
it is generally considered that such dis
turbance of their habits late in tn,
season is no. beneficial.
In some parts of France-PoitoI
and Perigord. for instance-pigs ar,
trained for truffie-hunting, and i
seems that they have better noses thai
dogs for this work, probably becaus'
the truffle is naturally more esteemed
as an article of food by the pig thai
the dog, and a pig can do quite as Ion!
days work as the most lastin,
hound. - Youths Companion.

THE CZAR'S COURAGE.
A Sensational story of the Russian Rul err S
Encounter with a Nihilist.


Encounter with a Nihilst.
An occurrence is reported from
Livadia which illustrates the GOODNESS
and physical courage of the Gar. Re-
Gently 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 a
number of soldiers 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 furiously to
escape.
The guard tried TO hurry him away.
but the Gar ordered them to halt, and
asked: ''Who is the MANI" They ex-
planned that he was a leader among
the local Nihilists, and had been prom
nent in kindling the forest fires which
had lately occurred around Livadia
"Let him be unbound while he is in
our presence, was the unexpected
order given by the Gar.
The moment the mans hands were
freed he crouched with his fingers,
clawing the air as though he would
throw himself bodily on the Car and
attack him with his nails. Some of the
officers of his Majesty's staff threw
themselves between the Nihilist 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 a desperate spring,
but while he was still in the air his
Majesty caught him by the right arm
above the elbow, and with combined
grip and twist, well known to wrest-
lers, threw him to the ground with APP
parently as much ease as he would
have overthrown a boy. The Nihilisi
scrambled to his feet and again made
a similar spring. This time the Czal
caught him by the left arm with the
same grip, and again easily threw him
to the floor. The Nihilist had by thi:
time got enough of it, and Law painting
but motionless. The Gar took a seat
close by, and said to the vanquisheC
assassin: Now tell us what you dog,
complain of. !"

Say, young man, suppose you are
looking about for a wife-one that will

one that will be happy and contented
with you-one that will meet you at

kiss and how-are-you-to-night-love
look on her sweet face, as you come
home from your work at night-one
who will watch your interests and see
that all is done that can be done for
your comfort and happiness-one who
will have a nice, clean, substantial

A SCHILLERESQUE BALLAD.

A lover placed a golden ring
Upon his lady's hand
Z Dearestr' he vowed. "mv love for thee
Endless till time doth end shall be!
'Tis like this golden band"
Time fed. The lover faithless proved.
No more fond words he spoke.
Another pressed his lady's hand,
He squeezed too tight one evening, and
The golden circlet broke!
"Ha! hal" the maiden cried, in scorn,
''The ring is like his love!
The end has come, and he has gone,
But never mind, the thing I'll pawn,
Twill pay for one new glove"
But lack-a-day her fair intent,
1t never came to pass.
Loud laughed old Isaacs when she came
What geeI five tollar for that same?'
The ring was gilded brass!
