A Sensational Letter.
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 .

ever yet knew just what "all tho
news" was? It is telling too much to
say wo must get "all tno news and

continents and tho oceans and the^

of*<?a wrung hopo to tho achieved
nient of inspiration,
2. "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. ''Never print a paid advertisement
as news matter. Lot every advertisement
appear as an advertisement;
no sailing under falso colors." 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.

Tho Cmir Nicholas of Iluuto.
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. Above all, he understood
the art of putting one out of countenance,

Spfcclal Coorso In Electricity.
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

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

first rate workman, while in sonic
shops they prefer a slight acquaintance
