Funeral Ofa Confederate tie Soldier
st. Martin Reveille, Aug. 10

81. Martin heVellle, Aug. ~
Twenty-eight years ago, when Louisiana
called on her children TO 20 and repel from
Southern soil the invading horde of the North,
a brave boy, named Louis Edmond Leblanc,
enlisted in volunteer company commanded
by Captain Alcibiades DeBlanc. This COM
pary was incorporated in the Sth Louisiana
Regiment, commanded by Col. j. Is. Kelly,
one of the judges of the Court Of Appeals i'll
New Orleans. The services rendered by the
9th La. Regiment in the valley of the Shenan-
doah and in the battles arOua the city OF
Richmond, under the immortal StOnewall
jackson, are matters Of history with which
every one is familiar. AT the great battle
fought around Richmond against Mcclellan,
i'll the daring charge made on Malvern Hill,
where the Federals were strongly entrenched,
l.. Edmond Leblanc was killed. He was bu-
rled by his comrades on the battle field his
name, with his company and regiment were
cut with pocket knife on a board, which
was stuck in the ground to mark his grave
There in the soil of the Old Dominion, made
sacred by the blood Of the thousands of brave
men, who die '9ln their efforts to save it from
the ftlutiOn Of the i..yader's foot print, the
Louis shna boy remained unnoticed and almost
forgotten during twenty-Seven years, when
one day, Francis II. Osbourne the guardian
of the National Cemetery strolling over that
ever-to-be be-memOrable battle field, noticed,
standing solitary in the midst of the woods
the board marking the grave OF Lieutenant
l.. L. LeblanG.9> Moved by a feeling of noble
fsympathy for a soldier, who had lost his life
i'll defense Of the lost, but never-to be forgot
ten cause, Mr.. OsbOurne wrote to Governor
Nieh4lIs, rendering his kind services to have
the remains disinterred and forwarded to his
relatives and friends iii his native State.
Through the kind offices of Mr.. Osbourne the
remains of Lieut. Leblanc were brought here
More than fifteen hundred persons congre-
gated in St Martipvlle last Saturday, to at
tend his funeral. The remains were taken
from the hall Of the knights OF Honor, the
Reverend Father Langlois, heading the pro
cession, was followed by the coffin carried by
six veterans Of Co. c. Sth La. Regiment, then
came about one hundred and fifty young la
dies all dressed in white, two by two and
the crowd formed into a long procession, with
military music marched TO the Catholic
Church, where the funeral service was ceiebra-
ted by the Rev. Langlois. In the same order
the procession marched to the cemetery
Bent under the weight of his years, the father
of the deceased, an octogenarian, with tot
tering step, followed close behiad the coffin
until it reached the place where it was to be
deposited in the family tomb. There Felix
Voorhes, Esq, delivered an eloquent enlogy
in French on the life of the deceased, and the
remains of the brave Lieutenant were depos-
itedpigRe soil of his beloved Louisiana

A correspondent of the Napoleonyille
Pioneer, writing from Paris under date
of July 16. says of the South American
exhibits at the Paris Exposition:
The South American exhibits astonished me
more than all, and awoke in my mindSle
thought: What glorious future would
New Orleans have did her merchants possess
enough enterprise to take possession OF the
trade SO Justly hers /" In Paris we hear more
of South America in one day than in New Or
leans in one century. We in our blind con
ceit know not the progress, the gigantic
strides the South American Republics are
making; we know not their wealth, their
commercial Importance, or surely we would
wake from onr lethargy. The display OF the
Argentine Republic in particular arrests the
attention of the passer-by. The exhibits OF
woois, hides, sugar, clothing, leather, miner
ais, furniture, canned meats, books are very
complete. The maps and photographs show
even better the wealth and prosperity OF the
country as we'll as its extent. Our usuaI
knowledge of this Republic amounts to about
as follows: "It is iu South America; princi
pal products, hides and revolutions" But IN
thus supposing we know the Argentine he
public 10 day we show ourselves wOfully igno
rant. We do not know of its banks and com
merce, of its universities and books, OF Its art'
and manufactures But the moribund las WI
consider theml countries of Europe, the cItie'
that lack oar South american enterprise, arr
alive to the situation, and, as q consequence
are reaping the rich commercial harvests tina
the South American trade yields. When w
have regular lines of steamers plying betweei
New Orleans and the South American States
when we realize that America does not begi
at the southern boundary of Canada and en-
at the Gulf Of Mexico, then perhaps New ~
leans will become the metropolis that ne
position entities her to be.

into the crowd, with what effect is not

N. o. Times-D Democrat If the pIanters OF
Verlnilion parish, about the most -outhern-
most parish in the United States in which
cotton is largely planted, can destroy the
cotton caterpilars with paris green cheaply
and effectively, those who plant cotton any
where in the country should be able to effect
lively employ this reliable destroying agent
There is great deal more money lost by let
ting the cotton worms alone than there is by
trying to make those pests let the cotton
alone. Paris green gives them grip in the
midritf which straightens them out sick OF
life and cotton leaves.
