At the very beginning1 we find Zebek Dorchi with a great deal of political influence and it seems as if he must have been very intelligent. He would be considered the best thinker and statesman, as we might term him, of all the Tartars, and if had used his influence on the right side, would certainly have been honored and powerful among the Kalmucks. No man with less intellect could have so fooled the Russians, the Khan, and the entire Kalmuck tribe. Hut however successful Zebek Dorchi was at first, his “Machcavelian plot” was not proof against the steady honor and dignity of the Khan’s character. In the end his interested motives were suspected while the disinterested and patriotic Khan received the trust and loyalty which his character merited. dattnrt to CEirrru Declare, O Muse, in what ill fated hour The greatest of men put forth his gifted power, Those works of History and War, Declare why he a task so great hath wrought, That all our labors, trials and efforts come to nought.

would he impossible to translate poetry of one tongue into that of another without making many changes. But l’ope has been in the main successful in doing the work faithfully and brilliantly; his expression is good and he excells especially in the art of “putting” things. Pope gave the heroic couplet the greatest possible smoothness, variety, and point. His influence in poetry was supreme thru out nearly all of the eighteenth century. “Dr (puinrro'n IChatt auh Zrhrk Dnrrlii” -- Etuumr D. Simt, ’lUi In De Quincey’s “Flight of the Tartar Tribe,” we have a very good example of the evil in one man working against the good in another. The Kalmucks, a branch of the Tartar tribe, lived among the Caspian steppes, subject to the Russian rule, during the first half of the eighteenth century. There were two influential men among them:—the Khan, their ruler, and Zebek Dorchi, his cousin, who was desirous of gaining control of the royal power among the Kalmucks. The first time the Khan is introduced, we find him mentioned as being amiable in his personal character. This characteristic holds true all thru the book, where in many instances we find his character in sharp contrast with that of Zebec Dorchi. In the first of the book we find the Khan working for the benefit of his tribe, although he was at a disadvantage in this, for the people hated anyone who ruled under the power of the Russian government. De Quincey says he would have made a good ruler, if natural conditions had not been against him, in that the Kalmucks were not civilized nor at peace. However, with all these odds against him, he progressed very well in the first of his reign, and would no doubt have finished his service with honor, if he had not come into contact with the wicked designs of Zebek Dorchi. This man had as much legal right to the sceptre as the Khan, and wished to depose him in order to become supreme. To this end he instigated a plot whereby the whole Kalmuck tribe should flee to China. This plan was easily carried out on account of the fear and hatred these people had for the Russians. His aim was to do away with the Khan on the march and assume the reins of government. Here are shown the characteristics of both men. Zebek Dorchi shows his hatred for, and powerful influence over the Khan, also his untiring diligence to gain his own end. The unsuspecting Khan, as De Quincey styles him, shows his friendly ways, and his desire to help his people in any way he can. The following instance shows these two men in a true light. At the time of their arrival at the river Torgau, when the Khan advised the Kalmucks to return to their former allegiance to Russia, he offered to sacrifice himself, in order to bring them back into Russian favor. Zebek Dorchi counselled otherwise in order to fulfill his designs. This brings out another of his characteristics, an iron will and unyielding firmness.
