HoNoH TO WHoM Honor IS DUE. Associations

zntions Of Louisiana, that were in the Confederate
service, to erect monuments to the heroes who
lost their lives in the cause which they espoused
With enthusiasm, loved so well, and olung to with

MANNED and gallant men who now survive, and the
iamilies of those who died for their country, no
nobler object could be attended to by our people
than perpetuating the fame of the dead. And
these designs completed, another monument VIII
have TO be raised id every State south Of the
Potomac-a monument to which, we venture to
say, the Confederate prisoners Of war will devote
every energy, 10 that it will be one worthy Of the
intention. We mean a monument to the ladies of
Baltimore We were hungered and they gave US
neat we were thirsty and they gave us drink
HeRere strangers and they took us in; we were
naked and they clothed US; We were in prison and
they came unto us. Such an inscription as this
should be blazoned in letters that would never be
etiaced, on the monument that we suggest.

The johnson Convention contained
Men who did all they could to embarrass

suppression Of the rebellion to an inglorious
end
Men who mourned over Union Victories
and rejoiced when rebels triumphed
Men who have no regrets for the New Or

his hatred for New England
Men who have endeavored to prevent en-

who went forth in the armies Of the Repub-
lie might never return alive;
Men who, although through their lives

Men who put their hands to the throat Of
the Union who would, if they could, have

the ruling power in the land
Men who took delight in the bloody riots
of July, 1868, in Boston and New York. and,
had they been successful, would have coun-
tenanced uprisings against the draft in all
the populous towns Of the loyal States:
Men who winked at the assassination Of
President Lincoln, and may have been in the

Men who wish TO reforge the manacles OF
slavery, and render void all that has been
done to make this pre- emnenuy " the land

Men who read, without struggling their
shoulders, accounts of rebel atrosities upon
Union soldiers, - the agonizing death, by

only offense was that they loved the Union
and fought for its rescue
Men who desire that the rebel debt bt

with men who, in National Convention, pro-

Mr. Speed then paid his attention to the

REMOVE FALLEN FRUIT No fallen. un-
ripe fruit should decay on the ground under
or about the trees. Fruit that drops before
il is ripe, does so because it is diseased. In
sects mature 10 the fallen fruit, and rise to
infect the trees, or leave their larvae for an
other crop of its kind. Fruit growers can
not be too careful in gathering the fallen fruit
that the grounds beneath their trees do not
become insect nurseries--thRt their orchards
do not become swarming households for
tribes of insects. Orchards should be guard
ed against insects.
The receipts for customs at the ports of
New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Balti-
more, for the week ending the oath ult., were
upward Of three millions eight hundred thou
sand dollars. At New Orleans, from August
10 to l8, inclusive, the receipts were nearly
three hundSed thousand dollars, thus making
total OF over four millions Of dollars in gold
at five ports for one week. The aggregate
for the month at these ports will reach near
ly seventeen millions of dollars.
Among the parties caught smuggling on

AN lNvULNERABLE GABMENT.-A cost,
light in texture, and impenetFable by mus
ket bullet, has been discovered by a French
man, and was tested in presence OF num-
Der of marksmen on a recent occasion. An
account in lie hord says
1.-The experiment was made with cavalry
carbine, charged with three grammes and a
half of powder, and the conical ordnance ball
for that arm. The csrbine, after having been
tested and regulated, was placed upon
stand pointed at the level of the breast. NJ.
Bernard, the inventor Of the bullet-proof
coat, placing himself at the distance of one
hundred metres, commenced by taking off his
coat, and showed that between, his breast
and his capote there was absolpSely nothing
but his shirt and waiscoat. He then put on
his capote, which is flowing garnet falling
to the ground, and covered his head with
steel casque. The shot was then fred
The public were greatly moved when they
appeared to see NJ Bernard stagger and fall,
Happily he had only made false step in
stopping to pick up the ball, which had
struck him little above the waist and to the
left side. The ball deudened against the
stuff, had fallen at mis- foot, and he came rum
ming toward US to show it. At short dis
lance he threw the ball to the marksmen,
crying to them not to approach. Not yet
having taken out a patent, NJ. Bernard abso-
utely refused to let the garment be examined
by which he obtained so marvellous result,
The ball was only 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 declared new ex-
pertinent unnecessary. The coat is said to
weigh very little, SO that there no objection
to it ON the score OF burdepsomeness."
