We present to-day careful review of the
position of the leading Presbyterian bodies
preparatory to their meetings in Assembly.
The chief topic of discussion at the Presby-
terrain Assemblies will be with reference to
closer union between the different Organiza-
tons that originally separated on the Slavery
question, and the prospect is fair that this will

The long and embittered contest over the
Supply bill is yet far from termination, and
second conference committee is deemed neces-

of spois, being narrowed down chiefly to the
question as to which of the political parties

Orange County in this State is best known
to our citizens by its production of milk and
butter. 1t has however a more enduring title
to fame. It's swamps have proved the most
prolific grave-yards Of the American mastodOn.
A letter from Otisvlle gives the particulars of
the last and III many respects the finest of
these discoveries, and of the race between the
representatives of scientific institutions to
secure it. The jealous care with which these
remains were guarded by the discOverer,
mechanic, in humble circumstances, is in
striking contrast with a piece of vandalism on
the part of the Interior Department also
described in this correspondence: ON the one
hand an obscure and self-taught man has done
good service for the students of science; on
the other United States official has caused
them an irreparable loss and earned their per-
petual execratiOn.

The immense work that is carried on by the
missionary organizations of our churches, though
crippled as all benevolent enterprises have been
by the general lack of activity in business, has
not been allowed to fall behindhand. At the
anniversary meeting of the Presbyterian Board
of Foreign Missions the expenditures for the
year were announced as nearly half million
dollars. An interesting report of the work
done in Japan was presented.

We note with pleasure the steps taken
toward establishing school for training the
nurses employed in our city hospitals Two
great objects will be achieved by this plan if
it is properly carried out-and the names of
those who have undertaken it may almost be
said to guarantee lis success-it will
secure for the sick in hospitals an intel
ligent care to which they have hitherto been
strangers, and it will ultimately increase the
number of trained nurses available to the pub
lie. To serve az a nurse in one of our large
hospitals should confer wide experience, fairly
comparable with that which our medical stu
dents obtain in the wards of Bellevue; but the
experience can only be made valuable by being
combined with such instruction as this school is
to provide.

For a small job The Real Estate Record bill
is one of the worst. 1t passed on Saturday to
a third reading in the Senate. The records OF
transfers of real estate in this city ought to be
open to every citizen. They are just as much
the property of the public as the City Hall
plaza. The bill proposes to give to one obscure
newspaper the exclusive privilege of copying
these transfers. 1t is not at all a new measure,
and it deserves this year the failure that it has
met before.

Our correspondent at Greensburg, Penn,
gives interesting details of the historical
events of which the people of Westmoreland
County have just celebrated the one hundredth
anniversary. The resolutions adopted at
Hanna's Town, May 16, 1775. have a
mingled flavor of loyalty and independence,
but at that time they were a bold step for
lowly colony. AS a notable contribution to
centennial literature we present to-day fac

THE LEvEE QUESTION.
what ~ 20 be DO.e.-W who ~ 20 do II:
When viii IL be Done?

WHAT? Well, this manifestly \ new
leyee must be constructed 10 afford to us
at least temporary protection.
Until within the last past three or four
days We were OF the opinion, and we
were easy in the belief, that the old levec
would be preserved by the Trustees OF
the Cairo City Property or by the Cairo
and st. Louis railroad company. The
protection of the levee emoankment
would have been not difficult task, and
the dirt wall that keeps from our doors
the floods of the river might have been
maintained by the outlay of a compare
lively small sum OF money. But the
Trustees, relying upon their
contract with the Cairo and
St. Louis railroad company, saw the
| embankment slowly caving into the river
and-wated and the railroad company,
instigatcd thereto by the devil, mean
citizens OF Cairo, and, possibly, impecu-
mostly, did-nothing. The city did
nothing, also: because, maybe, 1t was
likewise impecunious because. surely. in
addition to maybe, i: believed the Trus-
tees and the railroad company would no
permit the railroad embankment-
levee-to roll la2ily down into the waters
of the Mississippi.
So. the upshot OF the reliance OF the
Trustees in the railroad company, and
the inaction of that company, and the
apathy OF the city. is II broken levee that
must be mcnded.
VINO? Well, the city, or nobody.
That is the long and the short Of it. We
may say, the Trustees ought to do this
work; but what good will saying thi'
