A WoNDERFUL LAKE IN IOwA-The great.
est wonder IN the State of Iowa, and perhaps
in any other State, Is what is called the Walled
Lake, IN Wright County, twelve miles north
of the Dubuque and Pacific Railway, and $50
miles west of Dubuque City.
The lake is two or three feet higher than the
earth's surface. In some places the wall is
ten feet high, fifteen feet wide at the bottom,
and five feet wide on the top. Another fact is
the SIZE of the stone used IN the construction,
the whole of them varying in weight from
three tons down TO 100 pounds There is an
abundance OF stones IN Wright County, but
surrounding the lake, to the extent of five or
ten miles, there are none. No one can form
an idea of the means employed to bring them
to the spot, or who constructed it.
Around the entire lake Is belt of woodland
half mile IN length composed of oak. With
this exception the country is rolling prairie.
The trees must have been planted there at the
time of the building of the wall.
In the spring of the year 1856 there was a
great storm, and the ice on the lake broke the
wall IN several places, and the farmers IN the
vicinity were obliged to repair the damage to
prevent inundation. The lake occupies a
ground surface Of $500 acres; depth OF water
as great as % feet.
The water Is clear and cold, soil sandy and
loamy. 1t is singular that no one has been
able to ascertain where the water comes from
nor where it goes yet 1t is always clear and

The condition OF the treasury natural
ly first attracts the attention OF the tax
payers. They maintain and support the
government, and have the ght to in
quirs and be Informed how and IN what
manner their contributions have been
applied and expended. The expendi-
lures OF our state government are nec-
essarily divided into expenditures to
llquidate the Indebtedness of the state,
the payment of the interest on the same,
the payments Of salaries and compepsa-
ton Of officers for the due execution of
the laws, and the expenses OF lsvying
and collecting the money needed and re-.
quirsd to keep the machinery OF govern
msnt running. A palt of that machin-
cry consists of our courts of Justice,
where the rights of parties to property
are settled, damages awarded for inju-
riss done to persons or property, and

the safety of eur government, in part.

The eminent Legislators OF this state, in
recognition OF that fact, did, at an early
day. establish an excellent system OF

State University. This brings us to an
