THE SWEDISH MISSION.

Hon John L. stevens OF Maine being about

We would add 70 the above that Mr..
Thomas is not only thoroughly familiar
with the language of the Swedes, but with
their laws, customs, habits and institutions.
He has received the special thanks OF the
King Of Sweden for his admirable tranSla-
ton of a Swedish work, - The Last Athen-
ian; and has opened up the wilderness OF
our own State with a thriving colony OF one
thousand Swedes, who followed him from
Sweden TO Maine.
We hazard nothing in saying that there
is no man in Maine, and probably no man
in the United States, better equipped @
represent our country at the Court of Swe-
den than our fellow citizen, Hon. W. W.
Thomas, jr.
We believe this will be conceded by ev-
erv one who knows him, irrespective OF
party. And. though we should be sorry
10 lose his active presence from Maine, We
feel that President Arthur could do 10
more fitting act, none which would be
more appreciated by the Swedes them
selves, than to appoint Mr.. Thomas, Min
lister to Sweden.-PreSS.
Hon. W. W. Thomas, .ir.. is mentioned

Stevens as Minister to Sweden. The Sc
