A c%olREroSDRxT ofthe New York Times,
writing from Richmond, Va, says that the
division Of parties in the South, which the
reconstruction policy OF President Hayes
was to have brought about, Is now, toa
certain extent, being brought aboutby the
Grccnback movement and a number Of
minor natural causes. To-day the Reppb-
Iican party, rs such; is withoutan organi-
zation in the Old Dominion; many Of It's
prominent leaders have left the State and
politics, are taking care Of themselves"
"As n consequence the writer say, "the
Independent movement is particularly
strong and the colored citizen fsat q pre-
MUM. The Grcenbackers and 1pdepend-
cnts fatter and fawn on him,thc old Bour-
bons and last ditchers assure him that they
have always been his friend, and from all
sides he is receiving evidence that he is
once more orbe an important element in
the politics OF the South" This is u very
desirable statc Of things indeed, and one
which the Herald has always regarded as
essential in the first steptowards genuine
reconstruction. When all parties are So
licitous to secure the vote OF the negro ut
the polls and he is free 10 take an indie
pendent course, there is little danger that
any harm will come to him which ever
party triuimphs in any election thht'nay
occur. 4,

HEALrnrctNFss or iFRthF,a+Dr. b. j.
Duukley, has made public some interest
ing facts derived from his own experience
in regard to the healthfulness Of fruit,
When he first. went to Dunksburg, No,
thirty years ago, no orchards were there
and few vegetables wero,raiseda The diet
OF the people- eonsistcd of iCOri bread,
bacon, and q little black coffee, without
sugar or cream. 1ntlammNtory disorders,
especially aS1relate toathe lungs, brain,
bowels and heart, prevailed in the winter,
and were often attended with fatal re-
suits, malignant dyscntery, the pest
,of armies shut of from fruit, afflicted
many OF tho inhabitants in the summer
and fall, and in hegspring It was not
uncommon for whole families to be
sick with scurvy, the disease so fatal TO
sailors on long voyages before canning
fruit was discovered. DIR. DunEloy told
hiS scurvy-striCken patients, to their sur
prise. that Their blood needed no medicine
other than vegetable acids, and he ordered
them to eat oranges, lemons and sheep sor-
rels. Now fruit and garden vegetables are
abundant in the locality, and the diseases
arc not Of so malignant a type and yield
much moro readily TO treatment. When
the orchards first beganto bear, DR.. Dunk
lev noticed that those children whose
father had planted apple trees ate plcnti.
fully 6ftte fruit both green and ripe, and
Ind most excellent health, while children
living where no apples grew were dying OF

SoFT.MoSEY history, or, more properly
speaking, the history Of the numerous
failures Of soft-money experiments, is be-
coming n prominent feature Of current po-
litical literature. Among other pointed
rehcarsals Of the kind is the suggestive OK
perience OF the little Republic OF Uruguay,
in South America. 1t had a,sound and
abundant currency OF gold, silver, and re-
deemablc paper, and was JIM a tolerably
prosperous condition. Pedro Verilla, who
succeeded to the Presidency in 1874 was
a soft.morey min, and heprOceeded to is
sue $4,000, 900 OF irrcdeemalle paper. 1t
was made q legal tender for all debts, and
severe penalties were decreed against all
who refused to take 1t on a par with spe.
cic. The people soonlost faitll inlthis cur
rency CHASED on the whole wealth Of the
n%ation,n and in spite of fines and impris-

at n heavy discount. 1t went down and

that they have been mainly taken by
other investors. The closer the owner

STATEN ISLAND ATHLETTC CLUB.

Athletics are steadily growing in favor in
this country Where years ago there was one club
there are now ten and IL is considered rather an
honor for excel in any athletic sport, where "a
heretofore it las been considered an aheota-
tion. The good result Of this is perfectly
obvious; It will, in the long run, produce a
set OF men who will be, in point OF power and
endurance all that men can be expected to be- and 1t
will make tho younger generation OF Americans all that
their English cousins are and perhaps make them still
better One Of the pleasantest meetings OF the year
