A Sensational Letter.

An amusing hoax appears to have
been perpetrated upon the foreign press
in the shape of a letter alleged to have
been written by the present czar prior to
his ascension to the throne, to the famous
editor and panslavist leader, AksakoH.
whose.widow died few weeks ago.
The document in question, which bears
the date of May 90, 1866, contains bitter
comments on the class of courtiers by
whom the imperial family was sur
rounded, and compares the highest Of
ficers of state to contemplate lackeys.
The publication of the letter in question
has excited an immense amount Of f fb9ttafs 95tsfs
ton pqqra 1 t5"be BEEN copied in almost every
foreign newspaper of any Importance
The whole thing is, however, but hoax.
The letter in question, instead of having
been written by the present emperor,
was addressed in 1896 to Count Kotchou-
hey by the Grand Duke Alexander Paul
Witch, who subsequently assembled the
throne as Alexander l. Tho courtiers
referred to in such bitter terms were the
ignoble favorites Of his grandmother,
Catherine II. The original letter will
be found in the first volume of the Life
and Times of Alexander l." published
by Q. Toyneville in 1S74.-Exchange.

Shot on His Companions Gun Barrel.

I was hunting quail near Reidsville,
N. O., six years ago, with S. 8. Harris
and James Play, Of that town. Harris
and myself were walking side by side,
when two birds were flushed Mt the same
time. Harris was on my left and fired
at the bird on my right, firing at the
one on his left. Thus cross firing, botli
fired simultaneously.
Harris killed his bird, but I did not.
Harris said my powder was not good.
We walked on about thirty PAGES, when
Harris lowered his gun to extract the
empty shell. Suddenly he exclaimed:
"Look! the ends of my gun barrels
have bursted off.
We examined them and found they
were not bursted, but 1 had shot them
off rs smoothly as if they had been corn
stalks when wc cross fired.
We walked back to the spot and found
five inches of his gun barrels lying there
have one of the pieces now and will
mail it to Judge Gildersleeve if desired
This is an iron truth-nothing 1shy about
it. If you desire reference I refer YOU
