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."

You must bo on your good behavior
his evening, George, for the minister is
o take dinner with us," said a well
known society lender to her worser half,
is ho got home from his oftlco In the city
ast Thursday.
"What have you for dinner?" queiicd
.he husbnnd.
"Well, I know, he Is fonel of fish, so 1
ought quite a string of small river fish,
md several larger ones from the dam."
"I'm not much at doing the honors
v hen we have a minister at the table,"
said George "but I guess we can get
.hrough with It all right."
Half an hour later they were seated at
the tabic, and a blessing had been asked
by the minister. A little nervously the
head of the house began dishing cut the
vegetables, and turning to the guest, satd:
"Will ou have some of the little liver
'ish, or would you prefer some of the
dam big fish?"
The warning kick under the tahle from
his wife was unnecessary. He knew he
had blundered, and cold beads of p. repa
ration Btarted out on his forehead.
"I mean" trying to repair the error--"will
you try some of the dam river fish,
ir some of the big fish?"
Worse, and more of it! His daughter sly
ly pulled his coat tall, to bring him to
his senses.
"That Is, wouM yen like some of the
I river fish, or some of the other dam 11 h?"
The deeu carnation sprend:ng over the
good lady's face didn't mend matters a
bit, and with a gasp he plunged In ence
more: j
Ahem.' Which of the dnm fish do you
j prefer, anyway?"
