The California Mails.

The mails for California and the Pa
cific States, are now carried through
this city, over the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific Railroad. To facilitate the
distribution Of these mails whether GO
ing east or west, special force of postal
clerks has been placed on the route be-
tween Chicago and Iowa City. At the
former place, when going west, these
clerks receive on the cars al! mail mat
ter for points west of Omaha and before
reaching Iowa City, while en- route,
sort letters, etc, and make up packages
and pouches direct to the several offices
on the Pacific coast. At Iowa City,
when returning east, they receive matter
from California and other States, and
distribute for points east. On Tuesday
last these clerks sorted between Iowa
City and Chicago no less than %, 740 let
tiers, each of which was Immediately
forwarded east on arrival of the train at
Chicago; thus saving a days delay at
the Chicago Office for distribution. That
was heavy and big days work.

The Soldiers Orphans Home.

From the Davenport Gazette August 10th, 1869.
Always Astounding in interest to the
visitor, the Home was never SO attract
i've as now. The Improvements effected
in the grounds this season have greatly
beautiiied the site. The neatly kept
grass sward spreading out before the
lines of cottages, is now dotted over
with thrifty young maple and elms,
and traversed by graded carriage drives
aud walks, curving gracefully in agree
ment with the natural surface of the
pateau. Although these plats are Ell
closed by a substantial railing, the chill
dren are not enjoined to keep off the
grass" but Oh this romp and revel, in
full enjoyment of turning bars, swings
and all the apparatus of Il modern GYM
nasium.
Elsewhere, too, and indeed on every
hand, are improvements worth noting.
The new chapel, we'll nigh completed /;
ventilation in the hospital. wherein
only one patient is now on a bed; new
bedsteads in hospital and cottages; II
model reconstruction of laundry and
linen room, by which every article of
linen and apparel for each cottage is
kept distinct from those of other cot
tages two new Cincinnati ranges and
improved oven in the cooking depart
ment; hot and cold water pipes through
the kitchen, thus saving IA large amount
of labor to the employees and ten els
terms two of which hold 100 barrels of
water each, and to all of which the cot
tage roofs are, by series OF water
troughs, made tributary. These are
some Of the most noticeable improve
ments. Yet there are other features
we'll worth the attention Of the vi itor /;
not the least of which, at .''milking
times" are nineteen mich cows, of the
best stock and in prime condition,
ranged in clean stable waiting the
the transfer of their tactical fluids to the
bright hooped buckets, soon after to be
emptied where three hundred rosy
checked orphans will at their evening
meal present their drafts and have
them honored in copious draughts OF
the sweetest new milk. Even the long
barn in which thirty or forty porkers,
Of the best make of bone and flesh,
multiply and fatten, is worth visiting,
especially by economists who may there
learn how these thriving porkers, with
broods present aud to come, are kept
without purchase of a dollars worth OF
food, the slops and waste of the kitchen
sutiicing for all.
OF course all these features, interesting
as they are, have examination only after
the visitor has seen, and with irrepressi-
BILE pride and satisfaction carefully OBJ.
served, the cleanliness, general thrift
and happy contentment of the children.
This is the browning honor Of the emf

and devoted assistants.

alleged to have been committed.
1t TRANSFERRED in the examination be-
fore Justice Sweet that the accused

rors. The worst feature in the case is
that this banker held large amount of
Federal bonds as collaterals and for safe

owners their interest when due, and So
avoided suspicion. When he disappear
there was about 1000 in his vault.

evenings of last week was but indiffer-

presence or otherwise, and particularly
