A SPECIMEN of editorial simplicity has
just come to our notice, which is too good to
keep, even if it is in the family. A city ed
itor of one of our dailies passed the night IN
Davenport with some friends. Arranging
his coal black locks aud killing moustsche
the next morning he asked for some hair
oil. Esquire McNair, something of a wag
in small way, handed him a bottle OF
cough balsam, which he, editor lie, used
very freely. His hair stands every time he
hears man cough.

HE PRESBYTERIAN UNIoN.-The congre
gational meeting called by the Trustees of
OF the Second Presbyterian Church, was
held in that church last evening, and re-
suited in vote eminentlv pleasing. to the
| friends of the union. The friends of the
union we're ell there, and several OF the
former opponents of the basis who hao
changed their minds, and vote being taken'
| it resulted in as for union and none against.
| Previous to the vote Judge Peasants re-
ported on behalf of committee appointed
BY the session, composed OF himself and MI.
Herman Smy,h, TO wait on Mr. Burnett and
inouire into his sentiments and wishes IN the
matter of the basis. Mr.. Burnett had no
| objection TO make to the basis, except one
obnoxious clause which he desired to be ex-
cised. He said that he did not wish to be
understood as composing the basis on, 90
protesting against union under IT, ~
tinction without apparent difference
Judge said Mr.. Smyth stald Out nc" u'"'
,,a. md rstired. leaving him with MIR. Bur-
nat, and he spent the day Saturday last
x;,h him, and part Of the evening. When
parting with him, Mr.. Burnett assured him
that he would conduct his services and
preach his sermon the next day without any
sllusion to the basis or without trying to in.
tiaence any of the congregation for or
against it. Those who attended the Second
Church on Sunday last know how faithfully
he kept his promise. After the Judge had
result as above. A resolution was made to
the effect that the church was owing
Mr.. Burnett about 500. A motion Was
made that the money be borrowed to pay off
the debt. 1t was moreover settled that if
Mr. Burnett would not agree to Mr.. Newell
occupying his pulpit part of the time until
Presbytery could be called, and union
formally effected, arrangements be made to
hold service in the other church, Mr. Burnett
intimated to Judge peasants that inasmuch
as be received his pulpit from the Presbytry,
he would deliver it up to no one else but
the Pres bytery. IN which, we believe, accord.
ing to the church law, Mr.. Burnett is per
fectly just and correct. Those present last
night, as well as those of the first church
wish to worship unitedly as soon as possible
after the adoption of the basis, until the
union is confirmed on the basis, by the Pres
bytery- To do this, the pastors of the two
churches will have to accept the basis and
agree TO occupy the pulpit of the second
church equally After discussing the above
questions, the meeting adjourned.
