AwrIier IN the EFTacs, she jour

establish. pays this jus: tribute 10 his
memory:
Mr.. Dickens was born in Stockholm,
Sweden, Dec. 18th. 1916. His IA
ther was owner of veral ships, and
generally commanded in person, one
of them. 1t was probably owing to
this circumstance that The son, at an
early age manifested spirit of en-
terprise and love of adventure, which
resulted finally in his arrival on these
shores. His vacations from school
we're, as result of his ardent tenn
permanent, passed on the high seas,
and desire to become the architect
of his own fortune doubtless prompt
ed him to seek foreign cline as the
field for effort. He landed on Pu-
get Sound about seven years ago,
among strange people, with scarce
ly any knowledge of their language
or customs, but this did not deter
him from seeking and Immediately
engaging in remuIerative employ
ment. Favored as no had been by
liberal educational advantages in his
native country, his progress in ac-
curing the idiom Of our language
was correspondingly rapid, and he
possessed one of those liberal, tract
able natures, which readily assimi-
lated with the habits and national
characteristics of his adopted home.
That he was endowed with extraor-
binary talent, however, is manifest
from the fact that although educated
in foreign tongue, he was enabled
after few years residence among us,
to write with more than the average
fuency of those who have enjoyed life
long tutelage in their own language.
Had the ordinary span of life been
accorded him, he would doubtless
have engraved his mark high on the
pillar of honor and fame.
1t was the good fortune of the wri-
ter of these lines to have enjoyed the
friendship of Mr.. Dickens during
the greater portion OF his life in this
Territory. We ever found him q
safe counsellor and a genial, self
sacrificing companion, generous to o
fault and faithful to every trust.
His CHEEKY greeting has been a ray Of
sunlight that has often dispelled the
mists of gloom and doubt. His ex-
ample has been an incentive to in
dustry and perseverance,, and the
success which has rewarded his efforts
10 the best eRlogium Of his works.
He bald, a& the time of his death.
