into the Baltic at Riga, the other
plan to connect the Dniester, west Of
Odessa. with the river NIStula, which has
its mouth at DanZica on the Baltic.
The first of these projects met with
the special favor OF Alexander III, and
is the one which has been adopted for
the carrying out of the great work Of
uniting the two seas. The route starts
at Riga, following the course of the
Duna river as far as Duneberg, where

of an immense course cut right through

A Russian Word.

IF. r. Fowke, in Notes and Queries.
In France, recently, I Joined in u
conversation of which Russia was the
subject. We discussed its people and
language, matters of which I am pro-
fOundly ignorant, and which I was
therefore able TO approach with an
open mind AS evidence of freedom
from prejudice, I began by suggesting
that the Russians were a race of semi
barbaFians, speaking so crude a jargOn
that for all practical purposes it had to
be superseded by French. But 4 gentle
man, in some way which I could not
understand connected with public in
structi0n in France who spoke as one
having authority. assured me that, 50
far from this being the case, no more
romantic or more gentle hearted a
peasantry existed, while they were
blessed with a language of such ex-
quisitely poetic form that the tenderest
sentences had been crystallized into
single words. He then pronounced
something which he said was a single
word meaning that one being but to
gaze into whose eyes suffices to wholly
satisfy ones love- His statement may
have been accurate; I was certainly
pOwerIesS to refute him; but it seems
an extensive meaning for one word, and
I must say 1 should like little Veri-
fcatiOn. If the readers of N. & @"
bear him out. Russian must be an en-
tertaining language to study, and I
think shall make a start myself as
soon as I meet with a teacher cOmpe-
tent to furnish the requisite explana-
tory demonstrations
