A singular AGair.

! The Troy Times gives an account of q,
Young fuan named Lewis, whosarriYed sick
in that city on Tuesday last. Lewis was
Major in the 152d New York volunteers.
and was badly wounded several times dur
ing the war, besides being imprisoned a
mum bery OF months at the South. He was
on his way TO Iowa lat the time of his be-
ing taken sick at Troy. and now comes the
singular part of the story: 5g sri
1.-THE father of young Lewis was man
of large property in the State of Iowa, was
a .Brigadier in the volunteer service, and
fell lsmortally wounded whilst leading his
brigade at the battle of Chattanooga. His
only brother was Lieutenant Colonel the
21st Iowa Infantry. and was killed at An
tietam. His mother died during the war,
and while her husband and her only chill
dren, TIE two boys, were in the service.
Il "While the young manlwas prisoner at
the South, Gen. Halleck certified to an un-
Gle of Lewis, living in Iowa, that VIM. Fl.
was among the. killed at Fredericksburg.
On the strength of this certificate, it is al
legged, the uncle secured the necessary legal
papers to, administer Hpon the estate of his
brother and deceased family. The uncle
was declared the only heir; he Immediate
| lysold the property, receiving therefor over
| $50 600, and with this money at once left
tor Europe, where he now is.5 The tirstin-
tfmation that young Lewis had of the death
| ofShis father, motheraor brother, was after
his release from Southern prisons. Subse-
| q1ently, ne ewrote to friends in Iowa toloOk
after his property and also to send him
means and to his great surprise then learn
| ed what his uncle had been doing, and that
| he had left the country. tea5 nsg7

! ed to pursue the uncle, and has been absent
| from the country on this business, arriving
| in New York by the ship William Penn on
Saturday last. The uncle was found livin g
| in Paris, and a man of property. The

fore Gen. Dix, the American minister at
Paris; and adWelliBg-house i'm Paris own

months must elapse before an issue in the
case could be finally rendered under the

IONA OF AGE.

An exchange from across the Missis-
sippi says that Iowa reached, on the
2Sth Of December, its twenty-frst birth
day, and adds: s.t
Its infancy wae very creditabie. In i;s
arms. and its fidelity 10 the cause of freedom.
In It's manhood, while IL retains these good
9uaii,ies.it win doubtless become noted also
for It's Immense agricultural products, and its
devotion to tie cause ofeducatlon, IND Ril that
can elevate humanity"
This is not aattery but simple justice.
The meaning of the Indian word
Iowa" as given by Lanman IL "Syeepy
ones,' but the popular name Hawk
eye State is far more appropriate.
There is In fact no State In the Union
whose people are more thoroughly
wide awake, and which gives promise
of reaching nohler results. Already Far
advanced in all that constitutes national
prosperity, Iowa has only fairly COM
menced realizing the promise of its
youth. Illinois, having been admitted
into the Union on the third Of Decem-
ber, 1918, lacks only ono day of being
forty eight years and one month old,
aud is therefore q comparatively old
State, but when it became age, which
was in 1889, its population and wealth
were far behind those of Iowa at the
present time, SO that we cannot "put
on airs.' g.-r asr. s--
The areas of the two States are very
nearly the same, that of Illinois being
55,409 square miles. and that of Iowa
being 55, ,0i5. The two States are much
alike in the value, too, of their natural
resources. There 10 more waste land in
this State than in that, and we are not
quite so rich In area OF lead mines, but
our coal is more extensive, and our ad-
vantage in being nearer to the seaboard
is considerable; but on the whole, it
would be difficult to chose between
the natural wealth of the two States.
Perhaps the most noticeable present
and prospective contrast between the
tyo is in their cities. While Illinois
has a metropolis which IL far IN advance
Of all other cities of the State, Iowa has
several which are about on pnr with
each other. At present, Dubuque and
Davenport take the lead, but Keo kuk,
Burlington, Muscatine, Dcs Moines and
Clinton are within speaking distance,
each OF the seven hoping eventually to
head the list. With this exception the
two States have n very close rescm-
blance in everything but age. In re-
gard to community Of interest and sem
timents there could hardly be more
similarity. The Mississippi does not
not divide the two, but is rather q bond
of unity.

PACIFIC CITY, Jan. 15th.--Yesterday
in company with Rev. NJ. +. Platt,
Home Missionary at this place, visited
the Orphans Home at Glenwood, q
town twelve miles north of Tabor, and
three east Of this. The Home is on an
eminente overlooking the town. On
the grounds is a fine grove OF trees, and
bluegrass carpets it in summer. From
one point, through an opening in the
bulls, we had a view of n long stretch
of the Missouri Bottom; through which,
runs the Council Bluffs & st. 10. II. r.,
also the Missouri River, with Ncbras-
ka beyond. Its a very beautiful and
heaithful location and when the people
here are awake to the great purpose,
we shall moi DO obliged, as now, to tell
them that they have Home, and then
make plea 70. its existence. They ye,
lack that enthusiasm which stirred the
hearts OF those in eastern Iowa; and
the people of Glenwood need to take
lessons of Cedar Falls, if they would
make their Home success.
/ There are as yet only eight Orphans
gathered there but these seemed very
happy, under the fostering and christian
care of the Matron, Mrs. Fairchi!d.-
Cottages are to he erected in the spring
and for the honor of Western Iowa,
trust the people will mature the institu.
ton, till they excel in .the great and
holy work, which our State has thus
far SO nobly executed. a..
