Parsons has been ranting, canting

A MODERN CoAT OF MAIL.-The Par
is Nord says that the trial of light coat
impenetrable to musket shot, invented by
NJ. Charles Bernard, was made few days
ago at the Belgian Tir National. The
experiment was made with cavalry car
bine, after having been tested and regu-
lated, was placed upon stand pointed
at the level Of the breast. Mr.. Bernard
placing himself at the distance of a hun
dred metres, commenced by taking of his
coat, and showed that between his breast
and bis capote there was absolutely moth
ing but his shirt and his waistcoat. He
then put on his capotc, which is flowing
garment falling to the ground, and COW
cred his head with steel casque, the
shot was then fired. The public were
greatly moved when they appeared to see
NJ. Bernard stagger aud fall. Happily
he had only made false step in STOPPING
to pick up the ball, which had struck him
a little above the waist and to the left
side The ball, deadened against the
stuff, had fallen at his feet, and he came
running towards us to show it. At a
short distance he threw the ball to the
marksman, crying to them not to approach.
Not yet having taken out patent NJ.
Bernard absolutely refused to let the gar
ment be examined by which he obtained
SO marvellous result. The ball was on
ly slightly beaten out of shape, and bore
on its point the impress of the stuff. The
inventor offered to renew the experiment;
but, in presence Of the result obtained,
those present declareda a new experiment
unnecessary. the coat is said to weigh
very little, so that there can be no objec-
tions to it on the score of its burdensome.

WR ARE IN DoUBT.-At first blush,
We thought to answer the advertisement.
More careful perusal has excited misgiv-
ings. She says (sce Bulletin):
"PARTNER-A lady lady lately from
the East, and possessing capital, would
like to enter into partnership with gen
tleman in any good paying business where
the services Of a lady partner would be
required"
There are several points about it which
we like. First, partner; We like part
ner Second, lady we are notoriously
partial to lady. Third, lately from the
East; we prefer them lately from the
East Fourth, possessing property; now,
if there is one thing which, more than
another, excites in us lively sense of af-
fectionate regard, it is capital! Fifth,
would like to enter into partnership with
a gentleman that is US. Sixth, in bust
ness We moan business. Seventh, in
which the services of lady are required;
the services of lady are required
Eighth, which shall be ''good" Madam,
"good" is no word for it Ninth, and
last, it must pay! So there is but the
single question: Will it "pay?" The
desirability of creating properly edited
female department in the News Letter is
obvious, and there is, of course, no ques-
ton that share of its present enormous
profits (our income tax last year being
$12, ,l00-see list) would magnifcently
"pay" the lady. But would it pay US tc
possess the lady? We will reflect over
it. In the meantime, Madam, do not
think to influence our deliberations by
rendering us any small portion of your
Capital in recognition of what you may
esteem first class notice. We shall moi
accept it. Pardon the Washoeism of oul
expression, but we are not on it lis. f

The Presidents Veto aud speech, in the
North

The veto Of the President, and his speech
made in justification of his course, and ap
pealing from the radical element in Congress
to the people is receiving from the radical
press throughout the North hearty condem-
nations All the vituperation that disap-
pointed ambition can command, all the NAL
ice that defeat of faction can inspire, are
hurled at him. 1t is often the case that the
last'kicl of dying monster is his most fu-
rious one. There can be no doubt but that
every effort viii be made 10 improvise meet
ngs whose object will be to denouncc his
policy and array in opposition to him a strong
party But we have 50 much confidence in
the iuuJiassed verdict Of the moderate and
conservative men Of the North, that We have
little fear Of the result In two States, Mas
sachusctts aud Wisconsin, the Legislatures
have already pronounced against him But
we must recoIlect that these Legislatures
were elected long before the questions
which have divided the President and the
radicals were opened. Elected before OF just
after the close Of the war when party
feeling. and all the sectional auimos-
ity engendered by the war, had but
been exaggerated by the assassination of
Lincoln, we can but express the belief that
they do not represent that feeling Of the
people which time has softeued down to
more just and humane principles.
New Jersey has already refused to censure
him and by this act alone, a tacit endorse
ment Of his policy is made. The people can
have no fear Of his course. In his own Ian
gLage, they may yituperate, they may SLAM
der and condemn him, but he viii stand by
the Constitution and the right. Some old
writer has said that in every just state one
Of the departments Of the government should
always be impartial to the people The
course of the President in thus carrying out
this principle cannot fail to bring to his sup
port that great body of the people, who, d s.
carding all party ties and sectional animOsi-
ty, will have for their object only the good
Of the whole country and the prosperity of
all the people. Let us weigh well the words
of the President when he said: This gov
ernmeut can only be administered upon
those great principles of Cancellation and

Capt Semmes will be tried by a military
