The Newsletter of yesterday In
dulges some representations in
regard to the changes that will be
made in the Methodist ministers
of this city at the Fall Conference,
and referring to Dr.. a. c. George
states that he will probably be
transferred TO some larger Hnd more
wealthy Conference" But if DR.,
George is understood by his friends
he doc, not seek Or desire II trans
fer from the West Virginia Confer
cnce. He finds the work in this
State not only pleasant, but the
field large enough to fully employ
his eminent talents; and The yari-
GUS enterprises he now has on
hand in this State renders it not
only desirable hut important to
the church he represents, that he
should remain in the Conference,

NIGHT PoL1cEMAS.-Since the
appointment Of 4 night policeman
order has prevailed in our town.
For the first few nights after the
appointment those who had been
In the habit of making the nights
hideous by their bad conduct, were
disposed to treat the new rcgula'
tons with contempt, but they soon
found that the policeman intended
to preserve order, and that the
Mayor would impose such fines as
TO make it unpleasant and unprof-
table for any ono to indulge their
evil proclivitics at the expense Of
the citizens Of the town. Tho re-
suit of tho matter is, that We have
order, and that the fines imposed
are sufficient to pay tho expenses
of the night policeman.

How TO EAT FRuIT.-Now that
fruits are becoming plenty end
cheap, and so popular as TO be in
almost everybody's mouth, so to
speak, n bit of advice us to the
time they should be eaten might
not DO out Of place. We wi begin
by stating that the earlier in the
day the fruits are eaten the better.
They should be ripe, fresh, and
perfect, and if eaten in their natu-
raj state, it is almost impossible to
ont too much. Their hcaltilful
qualities depend OH their ripe acid
ity, but if sweetcncd with sugar the
acidity is not only neutralizcd, but
tic stomach is tempted to receive
more than it can digest, and if
cream is taken with them the labor
ofdiscstion is increased. No liquid
ofany description should be drunk
within an hour after the fruit, nor
should anything he eaten within
two or three hours-thus time be-
ing allowed them TO pass out Of the
stomach, the system derives from
them MI their cnli,ening, cooling,
and upcricnt influence. The great
rule is, cat fruit and berries while
fresh, ripe, and perfect, il their
natural state, without eating or
drinking anything for at least two
hours aftcrward. With these re-
Strictions fruit may he eaten in
moderation during tho day and
without getting tired Of them, or
ceasing to DO benefited by them
during the whole season.

Special TO the New Orleans 1'imes.1
WASHINGTON, March 26 The
GreenDacke held a meeting to>
hight, at which fifteen members
were present and one absent, and
decided to vote against the Dem>
ocrats in their attempts to attach
the poll ical legislative clauses to
the appropriation bills, and refused
TO pair with any one on political
questions.
The Republicans have passed a
similar resolution.
The union of Greenbackers and
Republicans in this way, they de-
clare, will most likely lead to the un'
seating of Acklen, if the case ever
comes up, and the seating OF Her
bert, and, as under this ruling the
Democrats have only one majority
that being the vote of the Speaker
all will have to be on hand none
can be sick and absent, or the ma
joIIty is broken up.
The situation is decidedly com
plicated by this junction. Fears
ARE that the majority may be ser
iously embarrassed, and possibly
thwarted by it.
The best men are uneasy tonight
over the outlook.
