Proposed :. Change
Methodism.

DIR. A. L. P. Green, an individ-
ual well known, and of considera-
BILE popularity with Southern Meth
odists, proposes to the Tennessee
and other Conferences, what the
Southern Christian Advocate calls
alarming radical changes" for the
action of the next General COME
renee. DR.. Green's memorial was
not adopted by the Conference,
but it shows a feeling Of unrest in
the Church. Some of them SYM
pathize with the movement, yet
the majority Of them, we doubt
not, will oppose it.
DR.. Green says, "multitudes
brought under divine influence by
the Methodist ministry, do not
unite with Methodist Churches,
and he proposes to remedy this
"lst. By changing the name of
the church; End BY destroying
our system of itiperant General
SUPPLEMENTARY, and reducing our
Bishops to mere diocesans; 5rd
By indefinitely prolonging the pas.

Mr.. Hyde was afterwards sent as
a missionary to the Sandwich Is

On the news of his his apostacy
reaching Utah, Brigham Young
formally declared a divorce be-

latter was married again to anoth-

several children. Experts were
called, who said the marriage
would be considered legal in the
United States. The Judge took
time to consider the case. a.

Pride OF Woman FlOgginS and
Child Heating

Since the recent tiogglng OF young Ia
dy of sixteen in one of the public schools
in Cambridge we have looked in vain in
the Massachusetts, papers for anything re-
sembling the howl of Indignation that
would have followed the booting of re-
constructed male African for robbinS hen
roost in Mississippi, or elsewhere, thou>
sand or two miles away from Boston. But
in an out of the way corner OF Boston
paper we find paragraph which states
that 'thc parties concerned in the recent
punishment Git is thus mildly stated of a
young lady in Cambridge have been in>
dcted." 1t has been shown by the escape
of Lindsley to Canada, he simply forieiting
his bail, that for $4,000 radical clergy
man in New York may brutally beat to
death his own child for not saying the par
rot prayers likely to be said by a child
three years of age.
The Indictment of the Cambridge wo>
men whippers promises to mako public the
price in Massachusetts for ilogging young
ladies who make somewhat impcrtinent'
replies to rcrrimands for whispering. 1t
is quite likely, if the case is pressed strong
ly, that the ''parties may be fined as much
as twenty-five, or even fifty dollars each,
and this terrible penalty may be the means
of protecting other young ladies from sim
liar outrages in the public schools of Mas
sachusetts, just as in New York, the next
clergyman who is anxious to murder babe
for not saying its prayers will consider
whether there is a ready friend to furaish
10000 to pay for the amusement. 1t is
well enough to mention just here that to
crafty the radicals in New York, niassa-
chusetts, and other rauical States the
Government IS now paying about eight
million dollars annually to protect full
grown, reconstructed buck negroes from
a possible booting by their "former mas
ters."

The St Joseph HcraH Of the 5th says
that on Saturday last, at Maysvile, De
kalb County, upon the adjournment Of the
Conservative meeting there, number of
Radical rowdies made their appearance on
the ground, armed with guns, pistols and
clubs, which they braadished in Il manner
equal to that Of the savage. They imme-
diatcly commenced an attack on the person
of Lieutenant Henry, whilom in the Union
party, beating him in a most unmerciful
manner. Colonel Prtchard, who came to
the rescue of Lieutenant Henry, was then
set upcn by the ruf6ans, and the two were
compelled to seek refuge in the house of a
neighboring farmer. Sheriff Orr, Of De
Kalb, hearing of the disturbance, at once
repaired to the spot with posse comitafus.
and endeavored to make arrests. when he
and his assistants, overpowered by the
Radicals, We're severely beaten and forced
to succumb.
If Governor Fletcher is SO desirous of
having harmony and peace in Missouri,
why don't he keep peace among his fol-
lowers? If these disgracelul scenes, in
which the radicals seem to take such a
living interest, are repeated, it will be
hardly safe in Missouri for years to come
for men to visit each other.
The whole object of the Maysyile bus
mess no doubt was to intimidatc the Con-
servatives there, and prevent their having
any future meeting.

WHICH-THE KNIFE OR FoRK ?-Ex-
tract from an unpublished work on Nam
ners, by Professor OSgool:
Very often in both French and English
literature of the higher sort, you meet
with a vast deal OF affected horror Mt the
idea Of eating with the knife instead of tho
fork. \ Frcnchman landed on a first Wis
it to the United States, was so shocked at
seeing Western man conveying his food
to his mouth with his knife. at the Astor
House dinner table in New York, that he
rushed from the house and rc-cmbarkcd
for dear France" without delay We
say much Of this horror must be affected,
for the reason that We have known huns
dreds as worthy and wel-bred gentleman
as are to be found in London or Paris, who
have been using their knives in that ''lIor-
id" way all their lives, without inficting a
single scratch. Besides, is there not quito
as much danger in using the fork aS the
knife! Is there not as much danger Of
sticking the Cork in the tongue, on the
gums, or the lips, as of cutting the same
with the knife
The Miss Nancyl>h horror oil using the
knife at the table is about on par with
the marvellous squcami>hness of that fine old
Virginia gentleman who forced his daugh-
ter to discard her plighted lover, after Civ
ing his own consent, too, because ut freak
fast one morning. the poor fellow inad>
vcrtently cut his muffin open with a knife
instead of tearing it in two with his fingers,
as prescribed in the aristocratic old gem
tleman's "code of good behavior"
Unquestionably the fork is as dangerous
as the knife, in the hands of careless
feeder, particularly if the fork be steel
pronged fork. instead Of silver, which is
too often the case in our hardy Western
world
