The many friends of Prof. A. P. Dietz will be pained to learn of that 
gentleman's death, which occurred June 2 at his residence in this city. Prof. 
Dietz, nephew of Alexander Dimitie, was born in New Orleans fifty-three years 
ago.  He traveled extensively and possessed rare attainments.  He received the 
degree of Licentiate of Letters from the faculty of Paris, and was subsequently 
appointed director of L'Athenee, a school of languages in Paris.  He has also 
been an instructor in Harvard College.  The Comte de Paris (Duke of Orelans) 
selected Prof. Dietz to translate into English the remaining volumes of 
Historie de la Guerre Civile en Amerique. At the time of his demise the 
professor was engaged in translating from French into English an early and rare 
history of California.  He had for some time been acting as private tutor in 
the family of Mrs. O. W. Childs, and giving lessons in higher English branches, 
literature, the classics and French to a few pupils at his residence.  Prof. 
Dietz was not only a man of learning, but a gentleman whose social qualities 
endeared him to a large circle of acquaintences.
