A Sensational Letter.
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.

be found in the lirst volume of the "Life
and Times of Alexander I." published
by C. Toyneville in 1S74.?Exchange.

I was hunting quail near Reidsvillo,
N. C., six years ago, with S. S. Harris
and James Tlay, of that town. Harris
and myself were walking side by side,
when two birds were Hushed at tliesame
time. Harris was on my left and fired
at the bird on my right, I firing at the
0110 on his left. Thus cross tiring, both
lired simultaneously.
Harris killed his bird, but I did not.
Harris said my powder was not good.
We walked on about thirty puces, when
Hdlris lowered his gun to extract the
empty shell. Suddenly ho exclaimed:
"Look! the ends of my gun barrels
have burstvd o!T.
Wo examined theiu and found they

off as smoothly as if they had been corn

Sometimes it is the highest llattcry not

Tho Czar Nicholas was, in fact, the

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

hand, it is hard to find a shop bred
Sian, let him be ever so skillful, who
ocs not sorely regret his lack of theoretical
knowledge. Fevy such men
can draught their own designs or make
their own calculations; often witnessing
phenomena while experimenting,
or during the course of llfhir Inborn,
which, were they read in the natural
laws, those that have byen formulated,
tlicy could perhaps appreciate and reproduce.
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. In a practical ago like
this, that would seem to bo tho most
