The town of Nishno-Tagilsk lias about 15,000 inhabitants, and Helniorsen ("Travels in the Ural") praises the Denii- dott's for their /cnil in carrying- the eivilisation of Europe to tlie wilds of the Ural. In an excellent elementary school, l-")0 boys are clothed, fed, and educated at their expense. Those pupils who disting'uish themselves by tlieir abiHtifs are then sent to a hig'her school, such as the D(.iiii(k>tr Lyceum in Jaroslaw, or the University of Moscow, and nfter the termination of their studies obtain a situation on the estates of the family. The palace of the Deniidotfs has a. fine collection of paintinj^fs by th(3 first Italian masters ; but it is seldom if ever inlnibited by the proprietors, who prefer Florence and Paris to the UimI. The founder of the family was an eminent gunsmith of tlu' tuwn of Tula, whose abili- ties o-ained him the favour of Peter the Great, and the gift of the mines on which the colossal fortune of his descendants has been raised. ⢠f f I '. i ' Till: si:A-ni ii.
