IOWA.

The following . interesting account of lowa is from the pen of a settler in Winneshiek County. lowa has three of the grand requisites for an emigrant—good soil, good climate, good water. It is not overstocked with population. The state contains an area of 52,0(30 square miles, or about (3000 square miles less than England and Wales together. By the returns of tbe last census tlie population of tlie whole state was somewhat over I,2oo,ooo—that is, about a third of the population of London alone. The configu ration of the country is for the most part Undulating prairie. In the western part A the state there are more sloughs—r » ;onounced 'slews'—a term which through out America is applied not merely to ordin ary marsh land, but to the naturally drained hollows of the prairie land. Most of these sloughs afford splendid pasturage. The state is generally well watered, being bounded on.the east and west by two of the largest navigable rivers, the Mis souri and the Mississippi, and intersected by smaller rivers fed by many tributary streams. There is no lack of water-power; indeed the facilities for manufacturing thus afforded arc very numerous, though up to the present time, with few excep tions, (hey remain unimproved to their full extent. The eastern part of the state is better wooded than the west. This in the present state of things is no slight consideration where posts and rails are used instead of hedges, and where wood for the most part takes the place of coal. Indeed, except where they are to be found in the houses of the wealthy, we have bid adieu, on leaving England for the West, to ! the cheerful open grates and fireplaces of ' home. There are, indeed, extensive coal fields, especially in the central portion of the state ; but, in spite of the rapid growth of our railways, the cost of transport is j still too heavy to admit of their being of I benefit to settlers generally, lowa is a splendid country for the produce of grain. It contains an area of thirty-one and a half millions of acres, free from marshes or waste land, and unsurpassed in richness of soil. Mr. James Howard, an English gentleman, in speaking of a visit to America, says : " The most beautiful country I saw in America was in lowa across the Missis sippi. Iowa! lowa ! beautiful lowa ! This is the place !"—words that sound rather rhapsodical, but are not inappro priate. The climate is exceedingly healthy, although the extremes of heat and cold are somewhat trying.. The air is very dry and exhilirating; some people even say that it is as good as champagne. The mercury in summer runs up to 90 ° and 95 ° , and sometimes 100 ° , in the shade ; and in winter it goes down to 15 ° and 20° below zero, and has occasionally reached the depths of 30 ° , 35 ° , and 40 but these extremes of heat and cold do not last for more than two or three days consecutively, and Englishmen appear to thrive in such weather as well as natives. The most common illnesses are typhoid fevers of a mild description, and on,the Mississippi the ague, or the '• shakes/ as it is characteristically termed. The weather in the fall or autumn of the year is splendid, from September to the end of .November. We have left Novem ber fogs'in England. An umbrella 13 a useless article, except to afford shelter from the rays of the sun, as it rains so se'dom, and then for short a time in duration that it injures no one. A real week of English settled rain would make the inhabitants stare. So, indeed, would some of our short summer water ipouts astonish the folks at home. The thunderstorms are frequent, and tolerably lively. The greatest nuisances in a small way are the insects of all kinds, especially the harmless flies and spider, and, to our sorfow not a few of the JNorfolk Howards, including the larger and smaller branches. There are also plenty of mosquitoes (but they will not come to you unless you go to them) near the!banks of rivers and : in the woods, which are their favourite resorts, The farms range in extent from 40 to 1000 acres, and land is worth £1 to £12 per acre, according to situation and im provements. Unimproved or wild land has this summer been sold at even £2 10s per acre. In England you may hear of 10s. being given per acre. That may be the case, but an emigrant will have to travel sortie distance before he will be satisfied with such an outlay. Those acres often cover a wilderness. In the newspapers railway companies advertise their lands for. sale at very low rates; but let no one rest his soul on all rail way land advertisements. There is one company which has had the same advertisement in ) the paper for three years, and of the land advertised not an acre is left unless the determined victim be willing to build his house upon the

Bwamp. Many young Englishmen come out with a half-formed idea that if they work—and they may ; take credit for a resolution to do that—they are: Sure to make so .many thousand dollars in sb many years, and then return to England to eat, drink, and be merry. , Their ideas of the ways and means are very vague. Several who have come out have returned, disgusted with the wildness' of things in general. The country itself, after Eng land, looks so dreary and desolate ; a so-called town is often an apology for a wretched village ; there are no trim hedges, no smooth highways, none of the delicate features of an English landscape, and often nothing for miles and miles but the interminable rolling, prairie, which p „' able enough for a sportsman who has ,_ iS to seek fresh pastures, but dispirit ing jt first for an intending settler to contemplate. These drawbacks, added to difference in. the roughness, of manners and expressions of the irrhabi tants, grate harshly upon the feelings of an •dueated Englishman ' who has to live in the country j' but gradually reconciles him to the situation. Then he begins to be astonished at the rapid strides of improvement that havebeen alreadymade. ParentS;need;not fear that their children will be darriecl off by bears, nor picture to themselves settlers in lowa galloping on. wild mustangs over .'their lands, rifle in hand, and maybe shooting a couple of Indians before breakfast.

Of the ninety odd Englishmen who have settled in this county within the past four years, only two or three have ever cast eyes upon " the poor Indian,' and he was sufficiently well tutored to be clad in a pair of trousers with waistcoat and shooting co^t to match?

MISCELLANEOUS.

Tho following amusing incident in ; connection with the monster concert . given at the Town-Hall, Melbourne, by • Messrs. Lyster and Cagli, is related by the ' Argus -. —The organ performances by : Messrs. Summers, Plaistcd, Hera, and Edwards, were distinguished in every case by skilful and meritorious treatment, aud ! their reception by the audience was, with a singular exception, of quite an enthusias tic kind. The exception we allude to was '■ the performance by^ Mr. Plaisted, of the " Prelude and fugue*on St. Anne's tune." This was a most elaborate composition, and required a high degree of skill on the part of the player. But it occurred late in the evening, and many amongst the audie-nce were in no mood to listen to it. We do Mr- Plaisted the justice to say that it was very well played, but he must have, been amazed, after finishing, to hear his labor rewarded with a volley of hisses. He had been unconscious all the time he was play ing that he was the object of this delicate kind of compliment ; he on theoneband had been revelliug in all the suggestive glories of an elaborate fugue, and. on the- other, the malcontents had been sibiHating with i might and main, but a hisshadno chance j against the •' tuba mirabilis,'.' any more j than a guinea-pig could howl down a clap of thunder, and so there was the amusing spectacle presented of a number of people with set lips and faces expressive of impo tent rage hissing inaudibly at a mighty organ, that rolled and thundered out its harmonies with' an unconscious in difference to opposition that almost touch , ed the sublime. i We hear from Dunedin that the whal ing companies stationed at Otago Heads and Waikouaiti have been very success ful during the past month, no less than : five whales having b«ensecured during that I period. Atthe capture of one of the "fish " the Waikouaiti crew were towed a distance of 30 miles by the monster they had har pooned before it yielded its large carcase to the captors, the return journej' being accompanied with the positions reversed, and in a much less expeditious manner. The witty Dean. Swift who, as Macaulay says, " stirred the laughter and the rage of millions, says:—The common fluency of speech iv many men, aud most women, is owing to a scarcity of words, for whoever is a master oHanguage, and hath a mind full of ideas, will be apt, in epeakiug, to hesitate upon the choice of both ; whereas common speakers have only one-set of ideas, and one set of words to clothe them in, and these are always ready at the mouth. So people come faster out of a church when it is almost empty than when a crowd is at the door. The Eev Henry Ward Beecher, the sensational American preacher, like the Rev. Mr Spurgeon, has a word to say about every thing and every body. We have not heard what Mr Spurgeon says , about Dr Darwin's work on the " Origin . of the Species," but Mr Beecher does not ( appear to be alarmed at the popularity of the book. At one of his discourses lately, the preacher said : — "I regard the labors , of Mr Darwin with profound interest, believing that the world will in time accord him a great deal of credit. , Although I am not prepared to accept all his speculations, I thank him for all his deductions of fact. Ido not participate a ; particle with those who dread the idea of man's having sprung from some lower < form of existence ; all that I ask is that } you show mebow I got clear from mon keys, and then I am quite satisfied to have had one for an ancestor fifty cen turies ago. Only make the diffierence great enough, and lam content, I had just as liefspring from a monkey as from . some men I know around here. I look upon the Patagonians, or the miserable . crawling Esquimaux, and I don't see much to choose between them and any latent animal hooted. I had no early associations a great tvhile ago. [ I have not the least recollection of what happened a million years ago. All my life is look ing forward. I want to know where lam going ; I don't care where I came from." ~■ ..'-.•

FREEMASONRY.

A pleasino ceremony took place on Wednesday evening at the; Masonic hotel, in connection with the United Service Lodge, No. 421, I.C. The occasion was the instal lation of Broi Simon Lipstine to the office of Worshipful Master..,, A numerous meeting of the members of the Lodge and their friends ad visitors were assembled, amongst whom were his Worship the Mayor, Bro. Past-Master Philips; Bro. Anderson, R.W.M., St. Andrew's Lodge ; BroJ Wade, W.M., Lodge Waitemata ; Bro. Past-Master Leers; and Bro. the. Hey. .Moses" Elkiii. The installation service was conducted in a very impressive manner by Bro. Past-Master J. C. Doull, of Lodge United Service, assistedby Bro. Macready, the retiring Worshipful Master. Lodge business being over, and it duly closed, the brethren sat down to a sumptuous repast, under the presidency of the newly installed Worshipful' Master, the honours u in the west being ably attended to by Bro. S. W. Sloane. The well-known credit bf the Masonic hotel for banquets was duly kept on this occasion by the repast furnished at the hands of Bro. Avey. The .cloth having been removed, toasting commenced in thorough Masonic style by "the Worshipful Master proposing "The Queen and the Craft," "Bro.. Albert Edward Prince of Wales and the other members of the Royal Family." He was followed by Bro. P. M. Macready proposing " The three Grand Lodges," which was duly responded to by various representatives. 1 The "Army, and Navy, the Colonial forces past and present and the Volunteers" fell to the Bro. S? W.( Sloane, his remarks being very neatly ack nowledged by Bro. Captain Dargaville, who with his officers attended in uniform/ But.the toast of the'evening—the health of the newly-installed Worshipful Master—fell, to the lot of Bro. Wade, W.M., Waitemata Lodge, who detailed in eulogistic and glowing terms the' Masonic character and reputation of the brother, and felt happy to think thatj the Lodge had shown such a mark of honour and respect to their oldest member. Bro. Lipstine replied in appropriate and feeling terms,:thanking,the brethren ye highly for/ their kindness to him, especially mentioning Bro: Past-Master Macready, who followed with the1" Sister Lodges in Auckland." Bro. Past^Master Doull gave " The! %if_is4', " de-;. tailing at some length the advantages of, visitation':: while '' The Host" and ''' Poor and- Distressed Masons" were also duly honoured. Several appropriate songs, arid selections on the harmonium by Bro. Seely were interspersed during the ;eveiling,' and the brethren separated at an early hour, all highly'delighted with evening's business aud entertainment,

The .Committee of the Auckland Yacht Club met last nightj at the Thames hotel, when a large amount of yachting business , was satisfactorily gone, through.. It was agreed that the opening day of the season should be on the 9th of November—the birthday of the Prince of Wales. I We are glad to learn that Mr Superin tendent Asher's appeal to the public on strengthening and improving his volunteer fire , brigade is likely to be more successful than ! he anticipated, and he entertains great hopes that sufficient funds will be raised to clothe the' members of the brigade, and provide them some allowance should they, become disabled by accident.
