Letter of a Minister Written from Astoria to His Home. Th following taken from a Baltimore, Md., exchange, written to that paper by a prominent minister now visiting In As toria, will be of general Interest: Our former pastor, Rev. E. D. Huntley. LL. D., whoso health has prevented his taking active work slne-e he left us Is at Astoria, Oregon. He writes from there, under date or November 7th, to a friend In First Church, from which letter the following Is an abstract: Astoria, Or., Nov. 7, 1895. My Dear Bro. Stevens: "From the ends of the earth I greet you; from a city named after John Jacob Astor, which is literally walled in by forests that are unsurpassed upon the elobe. A city whose feet are bathed In the glorious Columbia, whose waters have but twelve more miles to run Deiore rushing Into the arms of the great Pa cific. This river, over ono thousand miles In length, is for tho last one hundred miles not only the most picturesque, but tho most wealth producing river In the world. "Astoria has a harbor bettor than that of the 'Golden Gate'-wlth twenty-nine feet of water at tho lowest t'de, while New York has but twenty-six, and New Orleans but twenty-five. "The largest sh p that sails the seas can steer right In, and lie alongside of any dock or warehouse on the city's six miles of deep water frontage.' Its greatest industry Is salmon fishing, the spring catch of the Columbia river being the best In the world. As to healthfulness, this place has 'I the es sentials of a first-class Sanltailum. Its atmosphere has the 'tempered coolness,' which naturally results from its nearness to the ocean. It is freighted with the fragrance of the deep, ealined to epicu rean taste, and always unlmpured by ex halations suggestive of the fetid swamp or malarial morass. It Is aromatized by the fir tree and the pine, and is embal samed by the subtlest chemistries of the Paclllc skies. "Well, what of It? Why, my dear friend, this Is the Paradise to which your Huntley has been spirited. Here Is where we, not editorial but personal, my wife and I. are resting during the early win ter. Having been driving ahead for two years and six months without vacat'on, during which time I have been out of my pulpit but three Sabbaths on account of sickness, we thought It would be proper to tabernacle here a little whl'c, to thank the Lord for health restored, and gird our loins for another fifteen years of holy service."
