Fashionable Smuggling.

The seizure by Special Treasury
Agent Bracket of nine struggled out
fits for gentlemen, and a general guam
tity of feminine wear, from the Liver
pool ship Isaac Webb, has directed at
tention to the practice among the lead
ers of fashion in this city of apparel
ing themselves in cOntraband English
made suits of the latest pattern. A
Ring for the smuggling of these goods
has existed for long time, but it is
only recently that it has been exposed
to the notice of the authorities. The
Ring is composed of London and Liver
pool ta.lors, officers of steamships and
the wearers of the goods in this city.
| The great inducement to the latter
class for buying of the Ring has been
the saving of the 80 per cent. 0d
caiOyem duty that is required on inn
ported clothing. For instance. prom
styles, with silk and satin Innings and
facings, for which New York tai'ors
would be compelled to charge from 800
to 500, could be Struggled and deliv-
cred to customers here by steamship
officers employed by the London and
Liverpool tallorS for between $40 and
$50. Business suits that could not be
made in Broadway for less than $50
and 500, could be got here from the
Ring for S25 and $50.
The Government has not been the
only loser by the operations of the
Smuggers and their swell accomplices
here, but fashionable New Y DIRK tailorS
have been unable to compete with the
English clothiers, and have suffered a
loss of custom. Of late the operations
of the smugglerS have been carried on
, SO extensively that many small i'm
| porting tailorS have had their bust
hess ruined. One Of the sufferers is
an English clothier in Broadway. WHO
| imports goods III large quantities.
I -Four years ago he Was caught under
Valuing his goods. He was mulcted
IN Il large sum, and since then he has
complied with the customs laws with
ScrupulOus nicely. He has lost a
large number of customers within the
last few months, and on making IN
quirieS he found that they had been
captured by a prominent London
tailor. He ascertaned that the Lon
dOner sent IN agent on to this city
about three months ago, and that he
took measures for 200 suits of spring
and summer clothing, that were to be
Struggled into New York as soon as
they had been made up.
Since the Custom-H officers
made the discovery many suits have
been suffered to lie unclaimed 10y the
owners in the seiZTe-room OF the
Custom-H0use. They are TO be sold
at the next Government auction. ".

AQueer Discussion


Pillburgh Leader'
The U, p. Ministerial association met
at the usual hour this morning in the
Second U. p. church, Sixth avenue, for
the Irregular weekly talk over matters and
things, After devotional exercises, the
subject for discussion was announced 10
be : "Does an immediate expectation Of
death furnish sufficient reason for the
administration Of the sacrament to mem.
bers or children Of the church, apart
from the regular services Of the church,"
Rev, W. Ii. Mcmillan opened the discus.
sion, and nearly all present expressed
views IN brief on the subject. The drift
and pilh Of the talk was, that TO make a
practice Of administering baptism pri.
yately will have the effect Of degrading
the ordinance, in the estimation Of the
people. To baptize a child because il
seems near death will have tendency TO
foster tho superstition that unbaptized
children cannot be saved. On the other
hand, tho TACT that ono is near death can
be no reason for refusing the rite TO one
entitled to II.
Baptism should not be administered to
children Of parents who are not church
members or who are members Of other
churches. The children Of parents who
belong to n ministers pastoral charge
may, in exceptional cases, properly be
baptized apart from the regular service
Of the church, care being taken that no
superstitious views in regard to the ma
ture Of the ordinance be entertained by
those applying for it.

THEODORE PARKER once addressed
these opinions to an English barrister who
has Just repeated them TO Mr.. Conway !:
Speaking Of Buckles History OF Civil
zatiou, Mr.. Parker said, In my opinion
there have been five great books written
in England; the first was BaCon's "Novum
Organum," the second Newtons "Prin.
cipia," the third Locke's Essay on the
Understanding" the fourth Adam Smiths
"Wealth Of Nations" and the fifth is
Buckles "History OF Civilization" OF
course this Ia giving it great praise, and
there are one or two things don't agree
with. am sorry for his depreciation Of
moral culture, but yet | admire the book
greatly | said ii was n pity that the
life OF such man as Washington should
be done in an unsatisfactory way, and re.
GREETED that Carlyle, who had done such
Justice 10 Oliver Cromwell, had not taken
il up. 'Ah,' said Mr.. Parker, 4 respect
Carlyle greatly for what he is, but he
cannot understand such a nature as
WaahingtOn's. Carlyle is great giant
himself, and he can only Apr eCiate gi-
ants. Cromwell and Frederick the Great
were giants, and therefore Carlyle appre-
ciates them: but Frederick lied through
thick and thin. think Cromwell would
have told lie, but Washington never
did or would have told lie.'"

A Bellair Man who has Faith In
the Future

DcllAI lultIcuuAubs
Bellair is very dull Just now, many Of
the mills are stopped, building is at q
stand.still, and consequently many people
are idle and disposed to leave town. II
such persons will go to the country, and
become producers, instead Of consumers,
the world will doubtless be the better of;
but il they contemplate location in other
towns they will probably make mis-
take. Few towns in the country have
suffered so little from the panic as has
Bellair. No town within our knowledge
has better future. The river, the Bal
timore and OHIO railroad, East and West,
and the Cleveland and Pittsburgh rail.
road, North and East, to-day furnish
transportation superior TO that enjoyed
by any like town within our knowledge.
In the near future we will probably have
the Tuscarawas Valley railroad, the Bel.
lair and Southwestern railroad, the
Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad, and
the St. Clairsville railroad extended TO
this city and to junction with the
Youngstown and gainesville road
With great abundance ell cheap coal,
and with all these lines Of transportation
reaching out from this city, why will 1t
not be the best point for manufacturing
and merchandising between Pittsburh
and Cincinnati? To-day il is much better
point than Bridgeport, and is equally as
good as Wheeling. We have the advan-
tage oil both these towns in ireiehts.
With the exception OF taxes, all kinds Of
expenses are lighter here than in Wheel.
ing. All that is needed is that the right
kind OF men shall engage in the various
kinds Of jobbing trades, and that all shall
be represented. We have one wholesale
grocery, which is doing very we'll, but It
would do better il country dealers were
able, at the same time, to buy job lots
Of dry goods, drugs, hardware and no.
lions, With our present means Of trans.
portation, we see no reason why our drug
aud hardware men should not DO able TO
build up good jObbing trade along the
river, aud along the Central Ohio especi-
ally.
We reitorate the opinion that all lines
OF railway that are hereafter built herea-
bouts will touch Bellaire, and we believe,
all things considered, no townin Ohio has
better future. Times are dull now, but
so they are everywhere. Bellaire Is not
an exceptional case by any means.

THE slim chance that our government
would be compelled to investigate the
CHIsoLM massacre, in Mississippi, because
one Of the men shot was alleged to be n
British subject, has vanished. The man
in question, although not naturali:ed,
had performed acts OF citizenship here,
and hence We are compelled to adopt the
conclusion that the outrage will so UNI
