THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGES.

Ihe Russian t0nguels almost inSurmoun-
table to foreigner, and to master it, suf-
hclently for literary purposes would be in
itself, for such person, the labor OF life.
Excepting the Chinese, there is, perhaps,
no Language in the world fraught with as
many difficulties. In the first place, the
husslan alphabet possesses nine more
letters than the English, and is made up
of Greek, Roman, and Sclavonic charac-
ters. In 1866 the first Russian book was
printed at Amsterdam, and it was about
the 1704 or los that Peter the Great
himself made many alterations in the old
Sclavonic letters, for the purpose of as.
similating them more nearly to the LATIN
ones: and the first Russian journal was
printed with this type at St. Petersburg
in 1705, four years after the foundation
OF that city, from a font which had been
cast for him by artists brought from Hol-
land. -Aa-- ' = r.
In the old Sciavonic alphabet there are
forty-six letters, but the modern Russian
language comprises only thirty. In all
matters, however, of theological nature,
the antique form is even now retained,
and this constitutes the difference be-
tween the Czerkovonoi and Grashdauskoi. G
or the civil and church alphabet. This
in great measure must explain the diff
culties which foreigner would have to
contend with, in attempting to render
himself master of the Russian language;
but if it were possible for him to do SO
perfectly, he would discover an extraor-
dianary conspicuousncss, delicacy and
beauty of expression, that would indeed
surprise him.
In common with all dialects of Scla-
vonic origin, the Russian is also remaka.
bic for its euphony and versatility. 1t
also embraces not only the sounds Of
every known language but every cultural
lisp and slur of which the human voice
is capable. But the language is also
divided into three leading dialects. The
first is the Russian proper, or the language
spoken in two capitals, Moscow and ST.
Petersburg, and throughout the northern
and central portion of the empire. 1t is
the literary language of the Russians.
Secondly, in the southern and southeastern
provinces the Malo- Russian is spoken,
which dialect is supposed to approach
nearer to the old Sclavonlc than any Of
the others; the idiom of Red Russia, in
the northern and eastern districts of Hun
gary, and to the eastward of Gallicia. in
habited by the Russiacks, is almost iden-
tical with the Malo-Russians. Thirdly,
in Lithuania and Volhynia, and other
portions of White Russia, the people speak
the White Russia dialect. The geogra-
phical position of these districts should
fully account for the Polish words and
idioms which are here to be found. This
is the youngest of the Russian dialects
although the first translation of the Holy
Scriptures was made in it, is also the fur
therest removed of the three from the old
S Sclavonic.

" The English claim TO have q
missile which surpasses everything
hitherto invented or conceived. 1t con-
ssts of nothing but long rocket, on the
Congreve style, which darts forward in q
straight line, skimming the surface Of
the water until it reaches the sides of the
vessels at which it is aimed, when it
penetrates the timbers with its sharp iron
head, containing few pounds of fulmi-
cate of mercury. When the fire has
reached this receptacle, it explodes,
making an opening in the side as large
as stable door, which it is impossible
to plug. -
Even admitting. then, that the Russia
fleets should have retired under cover of
the impregnable fortresses Of Seyastopol
and Cronstadt, they still would not be
sheltered from this terrible rocket, whose
length of rauge goes far beyond that of
any other weapon known.
