.leremiali Curtin was born h\ Milwaukee, 

 Wis., about 1835. He had little ediuation in 

 childhood, but at the age of twenty or twenty- 

 one prepared himself to enter Phillips Kxeter 

 Academy, made, «^xtraordinary progress, and 

 soon entered Harvard tJoUoge, whore he was 

 graduated in 1803. By this time he had become 

 noted among his classmates and acquaintances 

 for hi.s wonderful facility asalingiiist. Onleav- 

 ing colh^ge he had accjuired a good knowledge 

 of French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, 

 Roumanian, Dutch. Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, 

 Gothic, Oerman, and Kiiinish, besides Greek and 

 Latin. He had also made considerable progress 

 in Hebrew, Persian, and Sanskrit, and was 

 beginning to si)eak Russian. 'Wh>)n Admiral 

 Lissofsky's fleet visited this country, in 1864, 

 Curtin became acquainted with the officers and 

 accompanied the expedition on its return to 

 Russia. In St. Petersburg he obtained employ- 

 ment as a translator of p(dyglot telegraphic 

 dispatches, but he was presently appointed by 

 Mr. Seward to the office of secrt-tary of the 

 United States legation, and he held this place 

 till 1868. During this period he became familiar 

 with the P(dish, Bohemian, Lithuanian, 

 Lettish, and Hungarian languages, and made a 

 beginning in Turkish. From 1868 till 1877 he 

 traveled in eastern Europe and in Asia, appar- 

 ently in the service of the Russian government. 

 In 1873, at the celebration at Prague of the 500th 

 anniversary of the liirth of John Huss, he 

 deliv(!red the oration, speaking with great elo- 

 quence in the Bohemian language. During his 

 travels in the Danube country he learned to 

 speak Slavonian, Croatian, Servian, and Bulga- 

 rian. He lived for some time in the Caucasus, 

 where he learned Mingrclian, Abkasian, and 

 Armenian. At the beginning of the Riisso- 

 Turkish war in 1877, he left the Russian domin- 

 ions, and, after a year in London, returned t-) 

 his native country. Since then he has been 

 studying the languages of the American 

 Indians and has made valuable researches 

 under the auspices of Maj. -lohn W. Powell and 

 the Bureau of Ethnology. He i.s said to bo 

 acquainted with more than fifty languages. —
