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 bi3 ascension to the throne, to tlio famous editor and panslavist loader, AksakoTT, whoso widow died a few weeks ago. The document in question, which hears the date of May 22, 1800, contains bitter . comments on the class of courtiers by whom the imperial family was sur-^ rounded, and compares tho highest officers of state to eontemptiblo lackeys. Tho publication of the letter in question has excited an immense nmount^Affiffft -ttp^dhrn5r<h"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 1790 to Count Kotchoubey by the Grand Duke Alexander raul itch, who subsequently ascended tho I throno as Alexander 1. Tho courtiers referred to in such bitter terms were the Ignoble favorites of his grandmother, Catherino II. The original letter will be found in the first volume of the "Life and Times of Alexander I," published by O. Toyneville in 1874.?Exchange. Shut OCT III* Companion's Gun liurrel. I was hunting quail near Reidsville, N. C.t 6ix years ago, with S. S. Harris and James Tiny, of that town. Harris and myself wero walking side by side, when two birds were Hushed at the same time. Harris was on my left and fired at the bird on my right, I firing at tho one on his left. Thus cross firing, both fired simultaneously. Harris killed his bird, but I did not. Harris said my powder was not good. We walked on about thirty paces, when Hjftris lowered his gun to extract tho empty shell. Suddenly ho exclaimed: "Look! tho ends of my gun barrels have bursted off. Wo examined them and found they were not bursted, but I llad shot them off as smoothly as if they had been corn stalks when wo cross fired. Wo walked back to tho spot .and found five inches o? his gun barrels lying there. I have one of tho pieces now and will . mail it to Judge Gilderslcevo if desired.

"Copy nothing from another periodical without perfect credits* Sometimes it is the highest flattery not to givo credit, and we lmvo known information credited to a newspaper that tho journal itself would gladly liavo discredited. Fortunately thte maxim docs not go so far as to declare that you must not publish intelligence without giving "perfect" authority for it. That would demand the infallibility that Mr. Dana is said to.have discussed with tho pope, with rcforenco to their comparative possession of tho uncommon attribute. 3. "Never print an interview without the knowledge and consent of the' party interviewed." This is to bo construed conventionally, and it is not certain that it would always be popular'with public men, who And the In.-, tcrviow convenient in tnaking informal appearances, often more itttpoH tant thap oflicial proclamations. The' best interviewing, that which is most, pleasing to him who is interviewed and valuable to tho newspapers^and that gives tho greatest charm to the art of the interviewer, is the apparently innocent report of tho seemingly unintentional conversation of tho subtle gentleman who is giving tho information. 4.

Onco upon a time 1 sacrificed many dollars in an endeavor to establish tnnt great principle and have receded from it, yielding to the material manifestation of general judgment,- If ono may bo permitted to speak of local experience. the question of never printing a paid advertisement jus news matter has not been r.o important as the printing of advertisements that aro not paid.

The Czar Nicholas was, in fact, the last real autocrat in Europe. I count it among my most instructive experiences and recollections to have obtained a living picturo of the most remarkable man of my tiino, which I was ablo to supplement- and complete from time to timo by means of numerous connections with relatives common to us both. In tho person of tho Emperor Nicholas all vaguo abstractions of stato, church and nationality vanished. Ono looked at him and perceived that all tho forco expressed in theso terms was concentrated in his person. Apart from him nothing ex isieu or seemcu capaoio ot existing. Ho stood tangible, out by no means terrible: on tho contrary, handsome and lordly, nttractivo and seductive, self assured, bold, and liko a kind of religious guardian spirit beforo an adoring world. And yet this colossal apparition of an nbsoluto ruler proved 011 closor examination to bo. mere outward show, a painted picturo. Ho was tho most nerfect wcaror of rmiform among all tno princes of Europe, a tailor's block (Modcll) for every kind of full dress. Tho principles of his life and government were uniform and red tape. IIo looked both tho statesman and tho general in so marked a degrco that his complete capacity to fill either rolo seemed to every ono a forcgono conclusion. That and everything clso ho effected oy means 01 tno grand spirit born within him. which was expressed in tho phraso, "Nimbus of the Autocrat" IIo was better capablo of maintaining this in tho most brilliant style than any of tho emperors and kings of his timo. But with equal ability ho managed to givo to tho social expression of his feelings a certain air of nonhomie. which corresponded to his change of uniform.

Columbia Oollego, New York, has . decided to have a special courso in electrical science, ana not a tntfmen# loo soon, tor this has long been seen to be a department by itself, and, whi)?* allied to other branches of natural philosophy, requiring, at loast from those who wojild adopt it as a profession, an undivided attention. . Because of lhi9 it is to be mdde a postgraduate course.of ono. two or r three years. thus allowing those who Kfcavo completed the rudimentary stud i- iqs in ciwinaiy mm uin^uviisiii in tuu 1 school of mine* and outsiders with elemental experience to continue their Studies. The proposed course will consist ih practical work, construction of lamps, dyntunqs, primary and secondary batteries, insulation -mid'installation of tlio pliant, and, of course, investigation of the.phenomena of electricity. There is thut called "theory" and that callod "practice," ^d while one may bo had without tho other, no man may justly consider, himself an elec- . trician who is not familiar with both. In all the largo electrical shops, as in the engineering ones, experience has been had with men schooled only in the theory of their work, and though'" it isati invaluable capital to commence practical work with, it ha% not been round infailiblo in tho making of a first rate workman, while in sonic shops they prefer a slight acquaintance with practical work, if tho man. lis intelligent antLmdn^w~?.?s Af *rntT,J tho latter is allied wttffOver confidence.
