The New York World contains q
long correspondence describing the
overflow of the Mississippi The
river is now said to be fifty miles
wide from Cairo to the Gulf, and an
extent of territory larger than the
State of New York is under water.
The richest alluvial lands ou the con-
tinent are temporarily under water,
and almost totally destroyed for the
use of agriculture. This correspond
ent does not believe that levees will
ever curb the mighty river-no pris-
on walls can restrict the movements
of its rushing current. 1t is certain
nevertheless, that III prosperous days
before the war no such destruction
as now witnessed, took pace; the
levees were kept in repair, and where
at present all is desolation, fertile
districts supported a large and
wealthy population.

original argument for temperance in
the shape of an allegory. 1t was for

TEE CHARITIES.

A number of the professional philan-
lhropists OF the city enraged at james
Gordon Bennett, because he preferred to
disburse his money himself, instead OF
putting it in their hands attacked him
roughly, and Bennett in turn, has subject
ed them to microscopic examinatiOn.-
Quite number OF interesting facts have
been developed. For instance, there are
seventy charities in the city governed
and managed by "boards," agents" dc.
These charities disburse $l,7OO,OOO, and
the cost of carrying them on IoOts up
$lS5, 5,0O0I Now, here is where Bennett
gets them, or the seventy, eight are
Catholic, and the eight disburse over hall
the entire amount, at a cost Of $1,000
To make the comparison more sharp and
distinct he gives this instance The
house of R ifuge--a Protestant charity, col
iected aud disbursed, $6I 900, at u cost
of S33 ,23s, while Catholic ProtectoFy,
the same kind of charity, expended
$685., 900 at the cost Of $1O,S74l And
Benn cit pertinently asks-WheFe does
the money go to What do the demurr

answered his question. Tue fact Is there

AN EXTRAORDINARY FACT.-An
extraordinary circumstance IN the
history of the country occurs on the
death of Mr.. Fillmore. Never be-
fore since the administration of JEFF
ferson has it happened that only one
person was alive, except the incum-
bent, who had filed the Presidential
Office. Andrew johnson is now the
only ex-President living; and even he
was not elected to that Office, but
came to it as Vice-President on the
assassination of Mr.. Lincoln, just as
Fillmore did on the death of Presi-
dent Taylor. While the younger
Adams was President, the elder Ad-
ans, Jefferson, Madison ard Munroe
were living. When Buchanan was
elected, Van Buren, Tyler, Pierce
and Fillmore were alive. When Lin
coin was inaugurated Van Buren,
Tyler, Pierce, Fillmore and Buchsn-
an were living. Within the past
thirty-seven years seven Presidents
have been elected besides Grant. 1t
is an extraordinary fact that not one
of the seven is now alive. ri, as.
