A BOLD NIHILIST.
The Home New? says : —A rumor is current in St. Petersburg that the revolutionists lately appointed one of their number to wait upon the Emperor Alexander and explain to him in bluff and unambiguous word what he really wanted. One day, so runs the story, a young man presented himself to the City Captain, Baranofll and requested him to procure him an audience of the Emperor, as he had a most important communication to make to his Majesty. Deaf to all question, he would speak his message to the Czar alone, and on his Majesty expressing his readiness to receive the mysterious stranger, Uip latter, after having been carefully examined, was led into the presence of his Soyereign. Commanded to speak, the young man said he had been-' commissioned by the executive committors of the Nihilist pa>-ty to make oral declara^Nf 4 tion to the Czar of their proposals for the restoration of peace, as it was ffeared his. Majesty had been kept in ignorance of , demands contained in their recent manifesto to him, which was being printed in large numbers and distributed among the people. After delivering his message the bold revolutionary was placed in duraDce in the fortress of S.S. Peter and Paul, but the police have hitherto been unable tc* fiad the slightest due to his identity.
