You wear out your clothes. You are

THE ORPHANS HOME-rhe Home OF
the Orphans Of Iowo Soldiers, is not Il
matter to be lost sight of. Wa paTTit IA
visit yesterday and found affairs in IA pro-
gressive and highly satisfactory condition.
We found the ind ntatigable Mrs. Anna
WhitteIpyer in command 'blinsiisS her
powerful executive ability into play all
through the institntipn--whi: by the
way, is no small aifair--anl the person
who assumes the labor Of experimenting
it, has no reasonable PROSPECT of havins
many holidays.
There are now 300 children al the Home
and fresh recruits are con SANITY arrivin~.
At the present time there is ro,u for
about seventy five nOre-anI prepar;l-
tions ara constantlv..soin, forward. In
the Hospital there are aoout thirty little
patients, but the prevailing complaints
are contine to coughs colds all other
| light disorders hone dang 'rbuSy sick
and all properly and tnnteriy cared for.
The Hospital is IL m ID Il for com tort--neat
and comfortable. We visited Il nunber of
cottages and found them i'm perfect order
the children neatly and comfortably dress
ed clean and Wholesome. Tne boys and
girls are kept in separate cottages. The
floor of the girls cottages are neatly car
peted, and those OF the boys are to be COW
cred with strong mating. Several of
these cottages have been handsomely FIR
nished by ladies associations in the differ
erent cities. The Muse ttine lalieS-also
those of Iowa City AMI Davenport, have
some finely furnished rooms, and in the
Muscatine cottages We noticed Il IN .lo-
deon. Thelittle girls Of Iowa CITY have
furnished the Little Girls Rom very
neatly indeed, for winch they deserve
especial credit.
During the excessively cold weather Of
last week, no difficulty WAS experienced i'm
Keeping the cottages perfectly com portable
day and night.
Yesterday, Mrs. Wittemver provided
the children with an ample Christmas din
ner, which was IA joyful and highly inter
estng occasion. Several lalieS from the
city were present to assist i'm serving the
dinner, and rendering the little ones ex-
traordinarily happy on that occasion, ~.
1t map be safely said that these helpless
little children were never so well provided
for rs AT the present time. Let il not be
forgotten, however, that great expense and
unceasing labor is demanded i'm this work;
and we desire TO state that nothing short
Ola liberal appropriation of our State Leg
islature will come up to the demands of
this noble Northumberland Demo-
crat.

Survey Of tn St. L.t&C. R.R.

Mr.. Robert Douglass. and party of ten
persons, who have made preliminary
survey of the st. Louis 4 Cedar RAPIDS
Railroad, from Cedar Rapids to the point
where the North Missouri Railroad inter-
sects the State line, having completed
their work returned to this city on Sunday
l;sst. We learn from Mr.. Douglass that
the route via. Williamsburg, Segournev,
Ottumwa and Bloomfield, is much more
favorable than was expected, and entirely
practicable; in fact the grades are as easy
as any other road i'm the State. The entire
distance is l25 miles, which may he short
ened some five miles. The grades at only
two points will be75 feet per mile. Further
examinations may reduce those to 60 feet
An abundance oftimber exists along the
whole fine, and at the lower end, there is
plenty of stone.
This survey was commenced on the 18th
day of November and occupied about
forty-five days. The weather, of course,
has been raw and uncomfortable for field
work, but, considering the season of the
year, it has been favorable. ...
1t will be seen from the above brief
statement, that the route of this road is as
favorable and can be built as cheaply rs
any other in the State and it can be shown
by reference to the STATISTICS Of the region
through which it possess, that the popula-
tons, productions, DC. will equal if not
exceed any other proposed road between
tho s..u,e points, which the connections
are every wav moro Desirable
. 1t now only remains forthe people along
the route to take hold of the matter and
furnish the means. Wapello county
should not delay another moment We
must fnrni h our proportions of the means
to insure the road through this county.

The Legislature.

Owing to the irregularty of the mails
since the commencement of the present
session, our advices from the Capital have
had expected. We have several very able
correspondents from whom we have been
anxiously looking for detailed reports of
the progress making i'm legislation and
other goings on at the Capital.
The Legislature, however, are evidently
getting along well. The two Houses are
represented to contain the best dressed. the
best behaved and the most talented set of
law makers ever convened i'm the Hawk
Eye State. A very considerable proper
ton of the members are young men, but
1t is affirmed of Them that they fully make
up by the dignity oftheir department for
that venerable appearance which become
the gravity of the Legislative office and
which can only be acquired by long life
and wearing intellectual pursuits.
The Senatorial question has been decided
i'm manner entirely satisfactory to the
party in theascendency i'm the State. The
return of tn" Hon. James Harlan to the
fcep hold which that eminent citizen and
profound statesman has on the affections
of the people of Iowa, and the numerous
friends and admirers of s. J. Kirkwood
while they will rejoice to see him i'm the
Senate. will only regret that the term for
which he is elected, could not have been
longer. 1t is a matter of sincere congrat-
ulation that this important question has
been promptly disposed of and i'm a man
ner so well calculated to unite and strength
en- the Party of Freedom and progress in
this State.
We shall hope to furnish our readers in
our next issue with fuller and more sat
account ofLegislative and Con-
gressional proceedings and general news
than weare able to do this week, owing to
the space occupied by the proceedings OF
the Board OF Supervisors which monopo-
lise the entire first page of this paper.

dressed the meeting ut length, and in n
manner which convinced all present that
the company has secured the right man

and bearing of the road upon the prosperi-

it is to lu,ss, were ir4eiystiiesand well CAL
culated to commend to the more favorable
consideration of our citizens a project so
Intimately connected with the future pros

of Il practical man, long versed in rail-

Engineer of the road, was prevented from

The Meeting exerted a decided influence
in favor of building the st. l.. & c. r. Rail-

We should add that the meeting was nd
