Wi/s. ) HAVE the honor to here by acknowledge the receipt of the following communi cation : OHEGON AtriNE Oitro , POKTLAKD Oro. , March 15-Edcrar W. Nye : Dear Sir I have the honor to inform you that at a regular mootIng - Ing of the Oregon Alpine club , held Tuesday evening , March 12 , you wcro unanimously elect ed an honorary member. Very rcEpcrofully , W. G. STEEL , Cor. Sec. It is almost surporflous for mo to say that I accept with pleasure , the honorary membership thus conferred by the as piring and deserving organization upon otio of our most phenomenal literary de posits. The objects of the club , as I gather from the constitution and by-laws en closed with the notification , are , flrat to utilize the largo , smooth mountains of Washington for climbing purposes. Also to moukoy with the flora and fauna of that region. I have accepted with ill-concealed joy that I am , and may continue through life to bo , an honorary member , there fore , of the Oregon Alnine club. I shall also take occasion at an early date to accompany the club , by Tnoans of a horse and wagon , to the summit of Mount Hood or Mount Tacoma. Later on I hope to become so robust that I can walk. Once I could walk a great deal. At ouo tiiuo I wont by this means quite a distance , TAKING VIKWS Or WATHIl TAXKB nnd side track along my route , using great care to got off the track as the trains wont by. In this way I saved enough In one summer to enable me to make the amo trip on the following Bummer. Rut in later years wealth has engendered a Iov of ease nnd a slight tendency toward luxurious dishonesty and re peso of manner , which at first would convoy the idea of refinement I now hail with much joy this oppor tunity to climb a few of our moat rtobir- able mountains. Which one shall WD tackln first ? How are your glaciers thl. spring ? Have you got a good noiseless - loss glncicr with remains in it ? How did the flora and fauna bland the winter , nnd will they be on hand this season when \vo got ready to go ? I notice alen by the preamble which juts out a few inches from the consiUu- tlon , that on'o'of the objects for which the club was organized was ' 'to make kuorrn to the world that , as n center for visitors to radlato from , Portland pos- BROWNING , KING I OMAHA , 1888.

" I will cheerfully join you in this especially. Certainly I have never radiated from a city which pave bettor satisfaction than Portland has. If I did not belicvo that , 1 would not thus publicly so state , over my own brief , but widespread signature. Portland as a visitor's radiator is and must ever remain unsurpassed. You also aim to make the club n high authority on mountains and their hab its , mountains in their homo lives , half hours with mountains , mountains as bedfellows , together with suggestions as to what to do for their cold foot and throbbing brows , social habits of the mountain and its hesitation in calling upon Mahommed , although the moun tain was there first , mountains as parents , mountains as forefathers , mountains as mouso-breedors , etc. , etc. , ucl flnitum , as the papers put it. All these objects coincide with my views , and though I see that the club has taken the precaution to give roe no vote whntovor on these matters , I can not bo prevented from entering heart and soul into this glorious work. As soon as the weather is suitable you will BKE ME BTAKT VP MOUNT HOOD with an alpenstock and a theatrical trunk containing all that ono need pos sibly want , and want to possibly need , on such a trip. I have already purchased an alpenstock in Omaha. It belonged to the cstato of a man who climbed the golden stair , via the Mattorhorn , thrco years ago. The Alpenstock has quito a lot of notches already cut in it , which gives mo a good start. Ho was never recovered , it is said. Ho tried to jump across a yawning chasm just as it was in the act of yawning ana so lacked about nine foot of getting across. The following Ssoptomber this Alpen stock was found by the verge of the yawning chasm. Several hundred feet below n vulture was seen eating the lining from an old pocket-book. Still farther down n venturesome chamois hunter , with n rope tied around his waist , discovered the marks of a man's front teeth on the trees , as ho evidently blazed his way along down while pass ing hurriedly in a perpendicular direc tion toward the bottom. Farther down ho discovered a broken pelvis and the mainspring of a Wntorhury watch , whinh had crawled out of the case and entirely ( Iliad the chasm to a height of nine and one-half font. Tno man himself was dead , Ono thing I wanted to ask about the club was this : Do honorary members bring their dinners , or will some way bo provided whereby they will uot have to do BO ? I can bring some things to eat with me if desired , but would pre fer to do otherwise if not putting you out. Wo live ' .roll at homo , and yet one tires of the une food year in and year out. Whatever you decide on in that way will be satisfactory to me. Food should bo , for such a trip , nutritious , well prepared , and oxpentiivo. i could put it in the hind part of my wagon , along with my Alpenstock , if thought best. I would bo glad to meet personally the geologist , the mineralogist , the ethnologist , thu arintholoi'Ut , the ichthyologist , the botanist , the micro- scopist , the entomologist and the conchologist - chologist of tlm club. When not too busy I would be glad to aid thorn as fur as possible * in tliolr researches. I shall take with mo on these tripi a large scrap book containing 1'IIKSS NOTICES AND AUTUMN LEAVES. I can read from this tome to the club the kkid things said of me by the American press , wherein It has been statoil that I have culled , or that I was scon on our streets , and other en comiums which I can read to the club as you ponflo to wlpo the perspiration from thu brow of tbo mountain , or whllo I Uo & nojo-bug over my horses' head and sock a few more needed oats into him. Then the book can be after wards used lor squatting fcrnsnnd other fauna , so that wo may carry them home with us and think about them next winter. I see that under the provisions of sec tion 2 , article V , page 7 , of the revised statutes of j-our association , under the title of membership , that % 'no person shall become an active member , after the organization is complete , who has not climbed at least one snow mountain to its summit. " This harsh ruling will for some time : yet prevent me from becoming an ac tive member , though if you could relax this rule BO as to let in a man who had been gently toyed with by a cyclone and listed by that agency to where he could look over into Gabriel's water melon patch , I might get in at an early date. I would like to climb some of your more obdurate mountains , however , In the near future and take my shuro of the suffering. Some day I would also like to join an Arctic exploring expedi tion and do some more suffering in the higher latitudes. I think I would suc ceed there first rnto. at I am used to SUllSIbTlKQ ON MY FIUKN'DS when.vcry , very hungry. My idea would bo to join the club , first as an honorary member , then grad ually becoming an active member , walk ing long distances and climbing hay stacks by means of my Alpenstock , until I became very athletic and strong ; then climb a tall frappcd mountain , freezing both ears till they swelled up on my return like a pair of baked apples ; then I would go abroad in search of the coy and prudish north polo. Finding the polo , I would cut.ray name in the bark , eat a few comrades , and with these picked men concealed about my person , I would return , full of information mation and blubber , to lecture on the solid north. I am naturally of a roving disposition and dearly love to seek out now dangers which I can defy by mail. "Vou also have an extinct volcano near you which I would bo glad to pry into , and see what it is that causes the nausea which invariably seems to ac company this phenomenon. Some scientist out to FO down into the crater of an extinct volcano and see why.it is that lava always seems to lie so heavy on the stomach of Vesuvius , for in stance. Some think I would bo a good man , and perhaps I would. I could got a very good petition asking mo to do so , but I halo to go down into the bowels of the earth , not knowing how I will be received. I um bravo , but at the same time keenly sensitive. I would huto to find after it was too Into , that ray pres ence rather exaggerated the nausea which seems to bo the curse of a. vol cano's very existence. Addressing the Oregon Alpine club through its corresponding secretary. I wish thus publicly , in all candor and sincerity , to thank the club for thu hon orary membership thus BO worthily con ferred , asking only the freedom of some of your most praiseworthy mountains , with the right to climb them at such time us I may elect , but not before that ttmo. In that way I shall bo honored and shall endeavor to avoid , so far as possible , in any way disgracing your orgauization farther than to accompany you by means of a livery team mostly , on your ascents. Socially you will flud mo a great acquisition. ' AM KUM. pf small talk and science , literature , art , political economj , travel and the common school branches. I can bo earnest or playful , as the mood changes , like the sunlight chas ing the summer shadows across the glorious mead. I can provoke the listener to merriment with my pathos or jerk loose the scalding tear by means of my summer humor. So that in selecting mo , your club has made no mistake. When is the first annual dinner of the club ? If you will let me know , I will put my Alpenstock in a shawl strap and como on. . Remember mo to the conchologist , and tell the entomologist that I have found something at a ' 'Teaoreggs" ( % totel which would interest him , I know. It looks like an early dwarf terrapin and smells like a case of fermented oblivion. So no more at present from your true friend , BILL NYE. _ mil jfc- * Bargains. Julfo Irani Jlowt. He pressed a ruby on her lips , whoso burn- incr blood shone through ; Twin sapphires bound above her eyes , to match their fiery blue ; And , where her hair was parted back , an opal gem he set Type of her changing countenance , where all delights were met. "Will you surrender now , " he said , "tho ancient erudgo you keep Untiring ana unuttered , like murder in the deep ! " "I thank you for the word , " she said , -'your gems are fair of form , Hut when did Jewels bind the depths , or splendors still the storm ? "There is no diamond In the mine , nor pearl beneath the wave , There is no fretted coronet that soothes a princely grave , There is nor Jalc nor empire in the wide in finity. Can stand in grace and virtue with the gift you had from me. " EDUCAT10NAU A project is said to be on foot to establish a chair of protectionism in Yale university on an endowment of $100,000. Tbo city of Ogden has finally been se lected for the location of tbo university , which the Methodists propose to establish in Utah. A craze for taking flowers to school re cently sprung uo among children in Athens , Ga. , and eventually resulted in BO much extra work for the janitors that an order , excluding flowers from class rooms , had to bo issued. f The report'otvthe department of scientific temperance Instruction in publio schools for last year .shows that about 12,000.000 children in , tbo United States are now under compulsory temperance education laws. Oj , The Minnesota Rtato university has a "school of Journalism , " which is presided over by a wqinaa who has had some exper ience innewspaper work. She acts as man aging editor , edits the copy of her staff of writers , and will buvo It printed in some local Journal. , The schools have been closed in Richmond , O. , because , of uxcitemont over a dispute about the color jine. A colored man who objected to haviug his children go to the sep arate school set apart for colored children sued tbo superintendent and recovered 1 cent damages'and costs. Feeling runs very high over the , mutter. The Chcrokcos have in operation over ono hundred common schools , with an aggregate attendance of 4,050 pupils ; a high school for boys with an aggregate attendance of 211 students ; a seminary neuring completion , with a capacity for 105 students ; an orphan asylum containing 145 children , besides a number of charitable institutions. A comparison of the relative mental capac ity of the sexes in the grammar and high schools of Hrooklloo , Mass. , shows that in tbo grammer scaools the boys excel in arith metic , history and geography , uu < l the girls in other branches of study ; but in the high school the girls ox col In all the branches. ThU speaks well for the Yaukoo girls. Are they brighter ana quicker uitted than other girls , or are tbe boys duller !

Til MUSIC MADDENED HER , A Stranso Story of a" Young Wifo's Infatuation. GEORGE WENT AFTER THE COWS. Thl Was Thlrly-seven Years AGO and Ho Has Just Returned Liovc Never Grows Old Juvenile Elopers. Liittlc Romances. A young lady , a lovely woman and a devoted wife , was a slave to the passion of music. She had a beautiful voice , was always singing on uvailublo occa sions , and was greatly admired for her gift. The man in this ease was a tenor. I never credited tenors with a heroic place in the tragedies of Hfo , but in this instance I suppose many men would liken him to a hero. A hero of their own classl Under the mystic influence of a passionate duet from ono of the Italian operas ono night the passions ol those two people met. Had it not been for the music the clanger was as far away from the young wife as I am from her at this moment. She went home trembling and fahattored with the burden - don of her own sbumo , and throwing herself on her knees before her husband told him all. He rare fellow that he was forgave her. Hardly had the blefased words of for giveness passd his lips , he had barely clasi > cd her in the safety of his arms. , when a strange look came into her eyes. She commenced to muriner the melody of that fatal duet. Then ciunn a loud , shrill laugh ! She was a raving maniac. A Glasgow newspaper sees quite n romance in the coming marriage be tween young Mr. Coats , n member of the great Buisloy Cotton Thread man ufacturing company , and Miss Clark , a duughtsr of one of the firm of equally famous American thread makers. For years a bitter rivalry existed between the two houses , until the Scotch firm decided to oond an ambassador to America to make friendly overtures. He was more than successful , and the two great houses will bo united by mar riage in June. In Punxbutawnoy , Pa. , some thirty years ago , John R. Ileud and Mrs. M. E. Thompson wore engaged to bo married , but for some reason parted. Reed came west , traveled through California and Oregon , finally beltled in Ravoh , near hero , and married. Mibs Thompson married a Mr. brewer. They hoard nothing of each other for moro than twenty-five years. Both have grown-up children. Brewer died last , and Mrs. Reed aliio. Acoi- ontally Reed and Mrs. Brewer learned these facts , opened correspondence and revived the oid lovo. A few days ago she arrived at Spoxano Falls and thuy were married. Hotli are over tifty- seven years of ago. Thirty-seven years ago James Ver- million. of Shelby villa , ill. , sent his son Georgoto the pasture for the cows. A few days since George returned to his father s house at Lower Hill , minus the cows , but possessed of title doedd to a largo cattle ranch in Colorado. The eon had been dead to his parents all these yours , and though he went away a youth in his teens , ho returned a gray ana grizzled man of mature years. The fatted calf waj killed and there was great rejoicing over the eon that was lost but is found. A Lynchburg , Fu. , itora tolls of an attractive marriage at the fine resi dence of the bride , near Bedford Springs , the contracting parties being Mrs. M. J. Eead and Colonel B. J. Jor dan , of Rookbridtro county. The groom is soventy-fivo years of age , and the bride seventy yeans , both in splendid health and vigor , ana of the best fami lies of West Virginia. By the filing of a will in the probate court in Cincinnati the other day , a ro mance in the lives. of two young per sons was revealed. The will was that of Herman Rose , jr. , whose name became familiar to the public a few years ago from the fact that ho and his father wcro tried for murder in the first degree. They were both acquitted after long and tedious trial. After his acguital young Rose's health failed , riis mother died and his father got into trouble with another woman. He quarreled with his son about the property loft by tbo mother , and the ban loft home. He had been courting a Miss Rosa Jonbcn , of Covington , Ky. , and when ho had left his father's house and was without a homo , his sweetheart's father invited him to live with them. Ho wont there about a year ago , and was an invalid all the time until his death a few days ago. Ho was nursed through his sickiiesa by uis betrothed. When his will was filed it revealed that he had bequeathed his estate , after the payment of all just debts , to Miss Jansen. His estate consists of an un divided one-hall interest in real estate at Sixth and Harriet streets , worth about $16,000. in which his father has a life interest. _ About 3 o'clock the other afternoon a little boy four years old and a girl three years old deliberately ran away from homo in Now York city. A reporter found them on the corner of Thirteenth Btrc'ot and. Sixth avenue , surrounded by a , crowd of sympathizing ladies. The little man seemed to iiko being interviewed - viewed and told the World reporter that ho and "Mamio" loved each other and had run away from home and would never go back. Ho refused to toll where ho lived. The reporter ollcrod to tiiko him home , whereupon lie began to cry , being ably seconded by Mamio. A pound of candy induced them to dry their tears , and the blushing reporter , followed by the crowd , proceeded to the police station with the pair in his uruis. Just then Mamie's mother appeared and the youthful levers were hurried homeward - ward- . _ Stephen Hopkins agreed two years ago to marry Emma Church , of Orton- villo , Minn. , but ho didn't.
