In MemOrialn.

1t becomes our unpleasant duty to
record the death of Julius Dickens,
ESQ.,, editor of the Puget Sound Ea-
press, who died at his residence in Steil-
accom-, w. T., on the 18th inst, in the
thirty-frst year of his age. Deceased
was native of Stockholm, Sweden,
and came to Puget Sound about seven
years ago, where he found himself
among strangers with but little knowl-
edge of their language. With the adj
vantage of liberal knowledge of his
native tongue, he was not long in ac-
quiring the language of his adopted
country, which he soon learned to speak
and write with remarkable fuency and
vigor. From writer in the Express
we copy the following:
1t was the good fortune of the writer
of these lines to have enjoyed the
friendship of Mr. Dickens during the
greater portion of his life in this Ter
litory. We ever found him safe
counselor and a genial, self-sacrifcing
companion, generous to fault and
faithful to every trait. His CHEEKY
greeting has been ray of sunlight that
has often dispelled the mists of gloom
and doubt. His example has beep
an incentive to industry and persever-
ance, and the success which has croYhed
his efforts is the best eulogium Oh his
works He held, at the time of his
death, the responsible position Of
Swedish CONSUL for the Northern Pa
cifc Coast and Deputy Clerk of the
United States District Court, and he
has filed at other times various posi-
tions of honor and trust, in all Of
which he discharged his duties faith
fully.

Proves an Alibi.

The "smart Alec" who writes the
heavy editorials of the Orego,,ian, has
evidently been reading Pickwick. In
our last issue we referred to the re-
markable reduction of the democratic
majority in Kentucky at the presiden-
tial election of 1872, but inadvertent-
ly named 1868, the first election of
Grant, instead of 1872, the date of his
second election. Taking advantage of
this error of dates, the wiseacre who
dispenses a daily moroccan of wisdom
through the columns of the Oregouia,a,
after nearly week of painful study
and research, undertakes In labored
article to show that our statement is
untrue. This petty attempt to evade
the main question by a technicality,
reminds us of the story told of a GER
tain candidate for Governor: During
the canvass be was charged with hav-
ing been seen drunk at certain time
and place. With a howl of virtuous
indignation his friends came forward
and easily disproved the statement by
showing that at the time charged their
candidate was in a different locality
from the one specified in the accusation.
After an exciting contest the guber-
Material candidate was elected; where
upon one of his confidential friends was
heard 30 remark 1T was a mighty
lucky thing for us that those fellows
made mistake in the date. If they
had only named the night before they
would have beaten us sure; for that
night he ras drunk-Tes, d',uak as a

The Oregoaian, in like manner, creeps
out ON an aibi. Said Mr. Weller to
'Samivel:' nothing like alleybi, Sam
my, nothing" 'Verever he's agoin' to
be tried, my boy, a alleybi's the thing

Decent Journalism.

On one or two occasions we have
seen fit to take exceptions to the pomp-
Gus ipse dirtt of the Oregonia'a; but
in doing so we have endsaYored to
observe the common amenities of de-
cent journalism by referring to the
paper, and not to its editor, personally.
From personalities we have pulposely
refrained. 1t makes no difference to
US who writes the editorials of the
Oregonian, nor where they are written
whether in New York San Francis
co, or Portland We hope we may be
able, without reference TO these ques-
lions, to differ from the views expressed
In its columns without hurting dirt at
the writer. Now if we were disposed to
retort in kind, we should in all proba-
bility call the editor of the Oregonian
an excellent and commodious outside
OF sausage, or accuse MN or some
other equally heinous crime; but we
shall do nothing OF the kind We shall
not condescend to remind him of any
of his natural deformities, nor stoop to
measure swords with him in billingsgate.
We are not an expert at running sluices
of filth, nor are we ambitious to earn
distinction as a political scavenger.
We shall endeavor hereafter, as hereto
fore, to pursue dignifed course, trust
ing confidently to that intelligent and
refined public sentiment which is ever
able to discriminate between the ire
sistible logic of facts, and the vulgar
braggadocio of the bully.

Plagiarism.

"The opinion Of the New York Times
and other great newspapers, is that ex-
pressed from the first by the Oregon
IAN"
1t is unnecessary to say that the
foregoing paragraph is from the 'lead-
ing daily" Here we have it in nut
shell "The New York Times and
other great papers" take their cue from
the Oregonian. Wonder if the Oregon
ian advises them by telegraph what to
say2 If "thc Times and other papers"
have to grope in heathenish darkness
while they wait for the transportation
of the Oregonian by slow freight, it
would pay them to advocate the i'm
mediate adoption of the postal telegraph
system. Just think of it The opinions
first expressed by the Oregonias are
subsequently reproduced in New York
as editorials, and thus palmed off on
the susceptible readers of the "TimeS
and other great papers" as original
matter. Ordinary plagiarism is bad
enough; but in our opinion a man who
would be guilty of stealing anything
from the Oregonia'a, especially editori-
ais, would be mean enough to PASS
counterfeit money on blind man and
then cheat him in the count. This
wicked insinuation that the opinions of
the Times and other great papers" are
stolen from the Oregonian, is aptly il
Illustrated by the sage remark of Mrs.
Darlington that she had discovered
that "the biggest rivers invariably ran
past the biggest towns.

A few. weeks ago, when the editor
of the Oregon5dn was squirming and
writhing under our reminders of his
personal career of crookedness, his
editorials indicated that, Though the
heavens fall, he would never descend
c. to personal journalism" Such a
course would, he hoped, save him
from the unpleasantness of having to
refer to many perverications, political
irregularities and hair-breadth es-
capes"-from the penitentiary. But
the editor of the Vancouver INDEPEN-
DENT gave him broadside in his
''much" weakness, and he has descend
ed to the earthly status of a god Of
the quill. If he ever regarded con-
sistency in any matter, he might feel
himself called upon to explain his
change of base from sublime to 'sper-
sonal journalism" and attempt some
excuse for the editorial use of such
eplthets as ''vain upstart," Ignorant
vanity" "a prig," and other like gen.
tlemanly courtesies of the press, which
Scott has directed against the editor
OF the INDEPENDENT. The truth is,
Scott is most vulnerable TO personal
journalism, and no other person
would escape so much by its abolition.

Equivocation is worse than falsehood,
for the reason that it is the resort of
one who is vicious enough to speak an
untruth, but too cowardly to do So
To equivocate is simply TO add coward

OYSTER CULTURE,


I While the Territorial press is so en-
gagged IN discussing the salmon breeding
question. let us look at what was-prio1
to the completion of the trans-continen-
tai railroad. We refer to the oyster
trade. In 1852 Pacific county took the
lead in oyster gathering and export to
the San Francisco mar ct. Then the
Shoalwater Bay oysters sold for Sc per
sack in the San Francisco market. while
they retailed for Is cents per plate in
the restaurants. The completion of the
overland railroad in 1869 made still
wider gap in the declining price of ma
tive oys}ers by laying down the genuine
Chesapeake bay bivalves at rates which
allowed their retailing at four bits pei
plate. This drove the native oysters
into. retirement, in the larger cities,
save as an auxiliary in shops and sau-
ces.
All attempts to propagate the Eastern
oyster in the bay of San Francisco, have
been total failures; and if that place is
to be the only scene of breeding expert
ments, the importation from Atlantic
waters will continue past the next cen-
tennial year. The native oyster, like
those ST Cencale or Ostend. in Europe.
has coppery flavor which requires an
acquired taste to relish it; but that taste
once acquired, prefers them to Eastern
oyster in the raw form, as an appetizer.
While they may still continue to be an
article of daily consumption here and
in Oregon, yet they are low priced in
California as to afford but little profit
for shipment thither.
the North Coast, came from Netart Bay.

Introduction into the Portland market,
But they are never fat when in their
mouths in the bay OF Tillamook. how
ever, remedies that fault and renders
them the best oy sttr OF the coast. We
should like to see the Eastern oyster
transplanted in the bay of 1ilamook as
a not extravagaut experiment. Its
failure to breed in San Francisco bay,
may be wing to he vast quantities OF
snow water that debouch into that bay
during the breeding season from the
San joaquin and Sacramento rivers.
By planting these Eastern oysters IN
bays like Netart or TillamooK, change
may be effected. Ii is claimed by some
that the twelve days time consumed by
the transit of oysters across the plains
begets sterillty, but We are 10th to be-
lieve it. The great Boca Atepan oyster
of the California gulf will breed in San
Francisco, but is coarse aud ill-havored.

Among those things that tend di-
rectly to the mental improvement
and cultivation Of our youth, and
young men and women, is the de-
batting society. The generous rival
~, either in reasoning or in the dis
play of ones literary attainments
adds much to the sharpening of the
intellectual faculties, and inculcates
an earnest desire for learning, such
as is received through but few chan
nels to such an extent as in this.
We have any quantity of young men
and women of collegiate and aca-
demic education, who, were some
one to take the initiative, would be
only too glad to aid in the forma-
ton of a society that would so add
to their enjoyment and advance
ment. Among the young men es-
pecially, would a great work be
wrought, in keeping them thus oc-
cupied in leisure moments, when by
this means they would be kept out
OF the way Of questionable pursuits
of happiness. Not only this, but
being brought under the immediate
eve of the fairer and better sex, a
manly pride would impel them to
desire to shine in the welkin of the
pure esteem of pure womanhood
On the other hand, we fancy that an
cumulative spirit would thus be en-
gendered among our young ladies
that would make the clash of ideas
as beneficial to them as it would c
the sterner sex. Why cannot some
of our matrons take the initial stef
in a matter of so much moment, and
Prospective good?
