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

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.

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

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 -

April.
Bntlon Courier ,
Sweet April comes with smiles and tears.
Through mead and wood she passes ,
Brings sunshine bright that warma aud
cheers.
The rain that makes the grasses.
Men troubled with rheumatic pains
Arc ceasing their complaining ,
For , though thuir pains oft como with rains ,
They'ro glad when April's reigning.
To marlret comes the early fruit ,
Tno winter coat wo shoot it ,
The maiden dons her now spring suit
With which she is well suitod.
Blithe Corydon sweet Phyllis courts ,
Already springs the clover ,
And in t her field the lambkin sports
Though most spring sports arc over.
In rural lanes the floret blows ,
And honey bees arc hummlnp ,
With spring styles out the drummer goes ,
The partridge , too , is drumming.
The maid puts by the winter shoe
And dons the lighter sandal ,
The organ-grinder gives us now
And stirring airs by handle.
In short , the winter's pass'd away ,
The bloom Is on the cherry ;
Soon , soon will come the merry May ,
And wo may all bo merry.
