METHODIST EpIscoPAL CHURCH SoUTH.-
The votes recently taken in seventeen Con-
ferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, which have been heard from, foot up
as follows;
For changing the name of the Church to
Episcopal Methodist Church, 775i against
it, $780, ge
For Lay Delegation, s1s; against it, 1885,
1t will be seen that the majority in each
case is thus far considerably less than the
required three-fourths; in the former cas-
s17 less, and in the latter 1855 less. A mum
bcr of Conferences are yet to vote, but it !
not likely that the results above indicated
will be overruled. Both of the proposition
are, therefore, almost certainly defeated.

How THE INDIANS BEHAVE IN TEXAS
The following recent incident of Texas bor-
der life may, perhaps, tend to dispel some
of the remaining romantic notions entertain
ed in regard to the Indian character; "sarah
Jane Luster was in Texas, with a family
named Bobb. During the absence OF Mr.
Bobb, a band of Nicorah Camanches came
to the house, invited in by the children, but
refused until satisfied there were no men
there. They went in and attempted to carry
off one of the children. Mrs. Bobb resisted
and clung to the child, whereupon one of the
sayages went behind, seized her by the hair,
drew her back and cut her throat. This was
committed in sight of Miss Luster, who had
taken refuge in the upper part OF the cabin,
and was so shocked as to utter groan, which
leading to her discovery, she was captured,
and with the two children, leaving babe IN
the cabin, was takento camp"
