DANGEROUS AND DIABOLICAL PLANS.
During the trial of some Nihilists at St. Petersburg recently, Golden berg described the making of the secret gallery under the Moscow railway, and disclosed such a well-conceived and admirably executed plan, that one must come to the conclusion that the Moscow police wai not so much to blame; the best police in the world would have failed before such diabolical cunning. The danger of working was so great that the seven men employed to make the excavation took a violent poison with them to swallow in case of the ground falling in. Under, one of the beds in the house from" which the gallery began two huge bottles of dynamite were concealed, at which, in. case of the police surrounding the house, one"of the girls, Sophia Perovsky, had an order to shoot a pistol and so blow up the house, and all perish, rather than surrender. 'All the persons concerned in that, and in all other attempts to take the Gzar's life were animated with a fanaticism perfectly unequalled, and they hare one and all displayed marvels of personal courage and of cunning in the arrangements of those - plans which Providence alone could, hare*. frustrated.
