So far from seeing no vegetation, his eye socks out and is refreshed by the trees and chrabs scattered hare and there- the German colony atrikes him as being quite a Iittle paradise. This will sousut for most travelers arriving at Tiflis from the Caspian or Persia desoribing the placa as "onoboating." Those who teach it in journeying the other way, from west to cast mostly, so far as my memory gas, either dissover no attractions in Tiflis, or aise ignore them.

They readily adapt Russian ways and Pakian dress. With few exceptions, they upoak Russia as readily an their mother tongue, and many of them have even discarded the latter for the gattaral langa. ag of their aquares.
