We take the following paragraph from the
Washington Union Of the 9th.
= 1t stated in a recent letter from Mad
rid, that on Monday, the 7th Of January
tien. Dodge, minister plenrpotentiary Of the
United States, gave dinner to the various
foreign representatives at that Court. Some
distinguished Spaniards were present at the
dinner, and among them Senor de Cueto, late
Minister Of Spain to Washington, and Senor
Don Jose de Olo2aga. In the evening Mrs.
Dodge gave a reception to the entire diplo-
matte body and to number of eminent la
dies of Madrid, and the dancing lasted till
quite III advanced hour. 1t was understood
chat Alr. Dodge would give a ball on the
I'D ot the month.
Let the Iowa folks take courage ana hold
up tlelr heads there IL hope for them vet
General Augustus Caesar Dodge will bragely
uphold Iowa respectability at the Escurial,
and show the naughty old hidalgos Of Spain
that other folks can give flaming elbow

THE USE or RA1s.-Eyery inch of rain that
falls on roof yields two barrels to every
space ten feet square and seventy-two bar
rels are yielded by the annual rain in this
climate on similar surface. A barn 80 by
40 feet yields annually G84 barrels. This
Is enough more than two barrels n day
for ever day in the year. Many Of our
landlords have, however, at least five times
tie amount Of roofing on their dwellings aud
other buildings, yielding annually more than
four thousand barrels Of rain water, twelve
barrels, or about one hundred and fifty ordi-
nary pailsful daily.
