An amusing hoax appears to havo been perpetrated upon the foreign press in tho 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 panslavisk leader, Aksakoff. whoso*widow died a few weeks ago. Tho document in question, which I tears tho date of May 22, 18G(I, contains bitter . comments on the class of courtiers by whom the imperial family was burroun^ed, and compares tlio highest officers of state to contemptible lackeys. Tho publication of tho letter in question has excited an immense ainounj ufxfificWh UP'UUV'Weif copied in almost every foreign newspaper of any importance. Tho whole thing is, however, but a hoax. Tho letter in question, instead of having been written by tho present emperor, was addressed in 171)0 to Count Kotchoubey by the Crand Duke Alexander I'aul^-itch, who subsequently ascended tho throuo as Alexander 1. Tlio courtiers referred to in such bitter terms were the ignoble favorites of his grandmother. Catherine II.

Columbia College, Now York, lias decided to ituve u special course in electrical rcicnco, nntl not a mdmrnf too soon, for this has long been aeon to bo n department by itself, and, whihft 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 made a post-graduate courso of ono. two or ;thrco years, thus allowing tnoso who *tlavo completed tho rudimentary stud! iee in electricity and magnetism in tho school of mines and outsiders with elemental experience to continue their studies. The pro|M>scd courso will consist in practical work, construction of Inmns, dynumqs, primary and secondary Dotterics, insulation and installation of tho 5>lnnt. and, of course, investigation or the. phenomena of electricity. Thero is (hut called "theory" and thai called "practice," ^pd while ono may bo had without the other, no mau muy justly consider hunself an elcc irician who i.3 noi laminar wiin uoui. In all tlio largo electrical shops, as in tho engineering ones, experience lias been had with men sclioolcd only in the theory of their work, and though it is an invaluable capital to commence practical work with, it l?a% not been Found infallible in tho making of a first rnto workman, while in some shops they prefer a slight acquaintance with practical work, if tlio man is intelligent and indn*{?J7'?% Of tix?.l.j tho latter is allied ^ttrrbver confidence.

A workshop, laboratory and lecture room, such us it is designed to place at tho disposal of the electrical department of Columbia college, ought to be .sullicient to turn out men capable of original investigation; men at least capablo of taking a responsible position in tho practical work in the mercantile ficlil; who can design and work or superintend work from their own drawings.
