The Orphan Asylum.

The annual meeting of those inter
ested in the Iowa Orphans Home will
be held in Des Moines on the first
Wednesday in June. There is one
thing connected with the management
of this enterprise that deserves espe-
cially to be rebuked. We allude to
the sending of an able-bodied agent to
the regiments in the field and levying
contributions upon the soldiers pay
1t is said that ninety thousand dollars
have been thus obtained. If the Rev.
erend Pearl and his Des Moines confre.
res want to start such an institution
for their own personal and selfish ends,
let them take the money out of their
own pockets and build it, and not be
