Concerning the second part of this work, 

 Father Saiutonge writes me, under date of 

 January 24, 1893, as follows : 



"I am not now working at my dictionary 

 (.second jiart) because I am not well enough, but 

 I intend to finish it as soon as I can. lean not 

 have it published now because I have not the 

 means for that purpose. You may say it is 

 intended for publication some time in the 

 futur(\ Tlui second part will not be so volu- 

 minous as the first; the list of words will not 

 bo so groat, but thedetinitions will takogreater 

 space, a.s I shall give the etymology and source 

 from which each Jargon word comes."

" The subject of this sketch, the Rev. Louis 

 N. St. Onge, of St. Alphonse de Liguori jiarish, 

 was born [in the village of St. Cesaire] a few 

 miles south of Montreal, Canada, Aprill4, 1812. 

 He finished his classical course when yet very 

 young, after which he studied law for two 

 years. Feeling called to another field, he gave 

 up this career in order to prepare himself to 

 work for God's glory as an Indian missionary 

 in the diocese of Nesqually, Washington Terri- 

 tory. 



"A year and a half before his ordination, 

 Right Rev. A. M. Blanchet, his bishop, ordered 

 him to Vancouver, W. T., where he was occu- 

 pied as a professor of natural philosoph3-, 

 astronomy, and other branches in the Holy 

 Angel's Ctdlcge. All his spare time was conse- 

 crated to the study of the Indian languages, in 

 which he is to-day one of the most expert, so 

 that he was ready to go on active missionary 

 work as soon as ordained. 



" The first years of his missionary life were 

 occupied in visiting difi'erent tribes of Indians 

 and doing other missionary work in the Terri- 

 tories of Washington, Idaho, Montana, and 

 other Rocky Mountain districts, among Indians 

 and miners. After such labors be Was llien 

 .appointed to take charge of the Yakamas, 

 Klikitats, Winat('has, Wishrams, I'shwauwa- 

 p.ams, Narchez, and other Indian tribes inhab- 

 iting the central part of Washingtcui Territory.
