AMERICAN colp FOE roRE,Gy eEwe;Ws.

One Of the greatest social evils in thi.
country-encouraged BY the insane poll
cy of Free Trades the rage that per
vades all ranks for dress and luxury. Al
most every article Of apparel for either
sex must be of foreign manufacture, or il
is "not the thiDg'-"not it TO wear
"common" n"-"yulgar. American goods
are secuted in fashionable circles. So
wide spread aud universal has this folly
become, that many of our shreWd Yankee
manufacturers have found it Necessary, ii
order to get rid Of their goods at all, TO
pass them under foreiya label-while
others, more honest, are compelled to
close their establishments and rslinquish
business This, while operating as dead
weight upon our domestic industry, is
leading to habits of ruinous extravagance
in every family. The following figures,

fabrics into New York from the lst Of

The Texas Outrage.

Our Western exchanges all comment
Indignantly upon the outrage committed
in Texas upon Bishop James and the Tex
as Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. 1t was one Of those incidents
which, in themselves, portray better than
any language can, the wicksdness of Sla-
very and its utter disregard of the rights
of those who come in conflict with it.
The Christian AaUocdte, Of st. Louis,
uses, in this connection, tho following
strong language:
"Has it come to this, that in our great,
free and glorious country, Bishop OF
our church is to be arrested while con
Quoting divine service, by worthless mob
of Border Ruiiians, led on by the Church
South, aud our ministers required to aban-
don their work This is not question
of mere IMthodism, or local interest 1t
is a question in which are involved the
principles of civil and religious liberty.
We assert and maintain the doctrine that
we have the right to 60 into any State or
Territory, North or South, and preach the
Gospel, and administer our Discipline,
without 'let or hindrance.' We hope our
brethren in Texas will stand by the
church. They have our sympathy and
prayers; We know what it is to pass
through the fiery ordeal they are called to
experience. The conflict in reality 10 not
with the citizens of Texas, but with the
Church South. That church is banished
on the arena Of fair argumeutative con-
fiicts. The decisive proof of this position
is, she has to have recourse to physical
force-pistols and bowie-knives. The
Church South, after this BOnham affair,
can not say, 'The weapons of our warfare
are not cdrnal.' We hope our brethren
throughout the church will pray for the
brethrea Oh our border work. 1t try
ing time. Our trust is in God--the God
of our fathers, the same God that sustain
ed them during persecution and death,
while engaged in planting our beloved
Methedisui in this land This is the hour
of suffering, but the day OF triumph Is not

true that the theory has its disagreeable
side-as when, for instance, at the end Of

A Warning to Boys.

John Capie, who was shot in q fire.
mans riot in Philadelphia, died Of his
wounds on Wednesday week, at the age Of
81. His father was Joseph Capie, an
Englishman by birth, who at one time
held responsible position in the British
navy. He afterwards made his home in
Philadelphia, and married Miss Maria
Erwin, of Southwark. They had several
children, who were brought up in the old
district of Southwark. Capt Capis en-
gagged in the merchant service, and was
lost off the Cape of Good Hope, leaving
his wife with several young children to
support. Mrs. Capie made every effort to
rear her family respectfully. John re-
ceived fair education; but when quite a
youth became associated with rowdy FIRE
company, and acquired very vicious hab-
its. About six years ago, while on de-
bauch, he wantonly murdered an inoffen.
sive man, named Christopher SOohan, for
which he was convicted and sentenced to
be hanged, but was pardonsd about eight
cen months ago. When he first came out
of prison, he made feeble attempt to
mend his life, but soon fell into bis old
habits, and mingled with his oldassocia'es.
His story is fraught with warning against
the peris of bad company and the use of
ardent spirits John Thompson, charged
with shooting the deceased, is at large.
