An amusing hoax appears to havo been perpetrated upon the foreign press in the shape of a letter alleged to have been written by the present czar prior to lii3 ascension to the throne, to the famous editor and panslavist leader, AksakoiT, whoso*widow died a few weeks ago. Tho document in question, which bears the date of May 22, 1SC0, contains bitter . comments on the class of courtiers by whom the imperial family was surrounded, and compares tho highest officers of state to contemptible lackeys. Tho publication of tho letter in question has excited an i 111 uienseamount^rs ttptJuUtirHtihi "copied in almost every "foreign newspaper of any importance. Tho whole thing is, however, but a hoax. Tho letter in question, instead of having lionit writtrn liv t In* ttmcnnt ntnnomr was addressed in 1790 Id Count Kotehoubcy by the CI rand Dul:o Alexander Paul itch, who subsequently asccndcil tlio throuo as Alexander I Tho courtiers referred to in such hitter terms were the ignoble favorites of his grandmother, Catherine II. The original letter will be found in the lirst volume of tho "Life and Times of Alexander I." published by C. Toyneville in 1S74.?Exchange. Shot Oil* Ills Companion's Gun IJnrrel. I was hunting quail near Reidsvillo, N. C., six years ago, with B. S. Harris and James Play, of that town. Harris and myself were walking side by side, when two birds were Unshed at the same time. Harris was on my left and fired at tho bird on iny right, I firing at the ono oil his left. Tims cress liring, both fired simultaneously. Harris killed his bird, hut I did not. Harris said my powder was not good. Wo walked on about thirty paces, when IldVris lowered his gun to extract the empty shell. Suddenly he exclaimed: "Look! tho ends of my gun barrels have burstod oil. Wo examined them and found they were not burstod, hut I laid shot them oft as smoothly as if they had been corn stalks when we cross fired. We walked back to the sjm>l and found five inches of his gun barrels lying there. I have one of the pieces now nud will mail it to Judge Giidersleevo if desired.

Prussian sentinels on tho lookout for a I mark, a great many of theso bold sports- j men risked their lives outside tho city fortilicationsand went taquinerlogoujon on tho banks of tho Seine. Theso aro the enthusiastic anglers who count tho days and nights to tho opening day, and wlic [kips tho o!F season in a stato of settled melaicholy. Theso aro tho men who know every inch of tho river's banks and the holes in which tho quarry lies hid, and who stand motionless hour aftci hour, holding their breath, heedless ol rain, wind and sun, half mesmerized by 'he gentle bobbing of tho float oa which their eyes aro fixed.

SatjMi ol f . -.vftpapcr Maklof. Editor Moral Ila I stead, of Cincinnati, delivered nn address on "The Maxims. Markets and Mission of tlio Press" before tho Wisconsin Press association recently. In the course of ft ho said: Who can tell tho young man how to grasp tho magic clew of tne globe, that spins with us? Thoro is no turnpike or railroad that leads into journalism. There are no vacancies for didactic amateurs. Nobody is wall HA yet wo are always looking somebody, and onco in a while he comes, llo does not ask for a place, hut hikes that which is his. Do not sny to tho young man llicro are no possibilities. mere ccruuniy are more tlian ever before. Young man, if you want to get into journalism, break in. Don't asli how. It is the finding of it out that will educato you to do the essential thing. The young man must enter flio newspaper ' oilico by main strength and awkwardncs^ aiid make a placo for himself. 1 shall recite and annonato some of the maxims declared by an editor. Said ho: 1. "Get the news, get all tho news, ami nothing but tho news." Who ever yet knew just what "all tho news" was/ It is telling too much to say we must get "all tho news and nothing but tlie news." No sheet would he sulllcient tocontain it. Only the wide world could hold it in all that darkens or shines between tho continents and the oecans and the It v.'-WV of'duwning liopo to tho achievement of inspiration. 2. "Copy nothing from another periodical without perfect credit." Sometimes it is the higncst llattcry not to give credit, and we have known information credited to a nowspaner that the journal itself would gladly iiavo discredited. Fortunately this maxim docs not go so far as to declare that you must not publish intelligoncy without giving "perfect" authority for it. That would aemand tho infallibility that Mr. Dana is said to.have discussed with tho pope, with reference to their comparative jiosscssion of the uncommon attribute. "Never print an interview without the knowledge and consent of tho party interviewed." This is to bo cou.slritcd conventionally, and it is not certain that it would always bo popular with public men, who find tho interview convenient in tnaking infornial appearances, often moro important than ollieial proclamations. Tlie best interviewing, tliat which is most pleasing to him who is interviewed and valuable to tho newspapers,and that gives tho greatest charm to tho art of 11 io interviewer, is tho apparency innocent report of tho seemingly unintentional conversation of tho subtle gentleman who is giving tho information. J. ''Never print a paid advertisement as news mutter. lx-t every advertisement appear us an advertisement; no sailing under falso colors." Onco upon a tiiii- I sacrificed many dollars i:i an endeavor to establish that great principle cud have receded from it, \ ii Ming to the material manifestation of genera! judgment.* If one may bo permit!, d to speak of local experience, t he ?mi< si ion of never printing a paid '--t mrvH"r has not been m> important as tlie printing of advertisements that arc not paid. Amend this maxim by saying: Don't undertake too much; or, if wo may nut it in llio most homely way, donH Lite oil' more than you can chow? v/hlumt hicial (hstorljjju- Wcak or do .* iVsi'ioks7\;in?cr by argument, by invective or by ridicule, unless thcro is some absolute public necessity for so doing." There can never be an absolute public necessity for attacking tlio weak or the defenseless. Ilelp them, ilcfeml them always 1 IV: h ips it is too early to compare the imhienoe which the elder Dennett, tho newsman, exerted with that of Horace (Ion-ley, who dealt rather in ideas than in reports. It would ho easy to describe tho distinction of tho two, but dillicult to deeido which was tho more iuilucntial upon the pressor the country. It might bo said of either, in Disraeli's words, unveiling the statue of Lord Derby at Westuiinsh r: "I havo unveiled tho statuo of a man who for forty years largely influenced tho public opinion of lus country." If we havo a mission greater than another it is the broad cultivation of tho popular character.?New York World. Tim C <tir Nit liolitn of HunkI*. Tho Czar Nicholas was. in fad, the last real autocrat in Europe. I count it among my most instructive experiences and recollections to havo obtained a living picture of the most remarkable man of my time, which I was aide to supplement' and complete from time to tune by means of numerous connections with relatives common to us both. In the person of tho Emperor Nicholas all vague abstractions of state, church and nationality vanished. One looked at him and perceived that all tho force expressed in theso terms was concentrated in his person. Apart from him nothing existed or seemed capable of existing. He stood tangible, but by no means terrible; on tho contrary, handsome ami lordly, attractive and seductive, self assured, bold, and like a kind of religious guardian spirit before an adoring world. And yet this colossal apparition of an absolute ruler proved 0:1 closer examination to be. mere outward show, a painted picture. lie was the most perfect wearer of Miil'orm among all the princes of Europe, a tailor's block (Model!) for every kind of full dress. The principles of his life and government were uniform ;i!ni mi tape. in' iiMixi'ii imuii mo statesman ami the general in so /narked a degree that his complete rapacity to till either role seemed to every 0110 a foregone conclusion. That and everything obo ho ell'eetcd ; l>y means of the grand spirit horn | w ithin him, which was expressed in the phrase, "Nimbus of the Autocrat." j lie was better capable of maintaining this in the most brilliant style than any of the emperors and kings of his time, lJut with equal ability ho managed to givo to the social expression of his feelings a certain air of oonlioinie, which corresponded to his change of uniform.

Tin* Step l'.ibvu by Columbia' CoJU'ijo?A | bpt < lul toufso In I'lectrlclty. Columbia College, New York, has i decided to have u special courso in electrical reicnco, antl not a mo'men^ foo Boon, for this has long been soon to bo a department by itself, and, whih* allied to other branches of natural philosophy, requiring, at least from those who would adopt it as a profession, an undivided attention. . Because of this it is to be mrtdo a post-graduate courso of one. two or ; three years, thus allowing those who *tlavo completed tlio rudimentary studies in electricity and magnetism in tho school of mines and outsiders witli elemental experience to continue their studies. The proposed course will con- j sist in practical work, construction of lamps, dynamos, primary ami secondary batteries, insulation and installation of the -plant. and, of course, investigation 01 the phenomena of electricity. Thcro is that called "theory" and that called "practice," ^d while one may be had without the other, no man e may justly consider himself an electrician who is not familiar with both. In all tho large electrical shops, as in the engineering ones, experience has been had with men schooled only in the theory of their work, and though it is an invaluable capital to commence ( practical work with, it ha% not been round infallible in tho making of a first ralo workman, while in sonic shops they prefer a slight acquaintance with practical work, if the man is intelligent and iyil"*' of ?-TT?*r? tho latter is allied ^ttnovcr confidence. On tho other ] hand, it is hard to find a shop bred Sian, let him he ever so skillful, who ocs not sorely regret his lack of theoretical knowledge. Fc\y such men can draught their own designs or make tlicir own calculations; often witnessing phenomena while experimenting, or during the courso of tlftur labors, which, were they read in the natural laws, those that nave byen formulated, tlicy could perhaps upprcciato and reproduce. A workshop, laboratory and lecture room, such as it is designed to place at the disposal of tho electrical department of Columbia college, ought to be ? .suflicient to turn out men capable of ' original investigation; men at least capablo of taking a responsible position in tho practical work in the mercantile flelu; who can design and work or superintend work from their own drawings. In a practical age like this, that would seem to bo llio most J > valuable college instruction which most nearly resembles what its recipients aro looked to to accomplish out^ side of it.?Scientific American.

Tho druggist was again enriched, but tho raw saltpeter made tho inflamed flesh howl, and it was also thrown away. "Poultico your face with hot giinrer to-night," said another friend. "That's the stufF." If any ono docs not believo that this ncl- | vico was followed the young sufferer can show him tho outlino of tho poultico on his check.
