admission. Ex-President Hayes will

The Senate Deadlock.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 5.-There
is no sign of break in the deadlock
yet. The Democrats are more deter
mined and defiant than ever, and taunt
the Republicans with the latter failure
to force a continuous session for the pur.
pose OF forcing one side or the other to
yield through physical force. The Dem.
ocrats thinks the President makes mis-
take in not sending in all his nomina.
tions. Meantime the nominees for
Office are very uneasy. Five Republi-
can senator's are opposed to the contin-
ued dead lock but will not bolt the
caucus decree. Ii many more senators
absent themselves and many more pairs
are made the senate will be left with
out a quorum.

PittsLur. Landing.

Nineteen years ago yesterday and
day before, the 9th and 7th, was fought
the battle of Shiloh. After his sue
cess at Fl. Donelson Gen. Grant
moved up the Tennessee river to Pitts

ing of April Isl, 1862. established a
camp near a church called shlloh'

was to march from Nashville with a
force of 900 men and meet Gen.
Grant about the rst Of April but from
some cause Buell. did not arrive until
the evening of the 9th. In the mean
time the Confederates had been masseo
across the Mississippi line at Corlntli
and under the command Of Gen. A. ;.
Johnston and Gen. Beaurgard moved
out, and early on the morning OF the
9th Of April suddenly attacked the
,ederals with force Of $4,000 men.
The onset was determined and des'
perate and fell first upon the divisions
of Gen. W. T. Sherman, and General
Prentiss. of this place: these divisions
were forced back before the superior
numbers of the enemy after gallant
resistance and three regiments OF Gen.

TO 4S.O0O. about the same as that OF the
confederates. Gen. Grant opened the
battle in the morning by an artillery
fire. before which the rebels fell back a
short distence This was followed by
a general assault along the whole line
which was bravely resisted by the Con-
federates. For hours the conflict ragged,
it was Americans against Americans,
and 10th parties were brave and deter
mined. The action continued until 5
p. m. when the confederate ranks be-
gan to yield. and by 4 p. m. they were
IN full retreat. Thus ended up till that
time, one OF the most desperately con-
tested battles Of the American civil
war, and one attended with greater
harvest of death than had before result
ed from battle in the New World. The
Union loss in killed and wounded was
9.l95. that of the Confederates 9.740.

tact has undoubtedly deferred capable
and ambitious artists from attempt
ing to dellneste such subjects. The
assistance that can be furnished only
by the testimony OF accessorjes-
whether original and authentic or
accurate reproductions-is precisely
what the committe hope to be the
means OF providing. They intend to
collect whatever they can in the way
OF old costumes, or even the smallest
parts OF old costumes, beginning as
isr back IS possible, and to select the
most desirable for exhibition and use
in the life classes. It is proposed to
place them st the disposal OF artists,
under proper restrictions, and to
make such display of the articles as
will best interest visitors In the
neighborhood of those localities in
Massachusetts which were first set
tied there are many families who
treasure among their heir-looms
parts OF costumes or bits of embroi-
derry dating back two centuries, and
efforts will be made TO secure the
loan OF them, il they cannot be

are at work in another direction,

followed out until study has been
made OF the costumes of all nations.
The white costumes worn by Giipus,
in the Greek play performed OF
in May, was loaned from
this collection. In continuing the
study of Greek and Roman costumes,
will not be confined TO the
costumes of any particular class or
sex. The soldiers, giadiatOrs, and
slaves, the poorest as we'll as the
most opulent and honored citizens,
will be carefully studied, and the
costumes prescribed for the different
stations and occupations in life will
all be reproduced and retained as the
property of the Museum. When
completed it will be such a colIsction
as does not now exist either in this
country..or abroad. Any art school,
or persons who are sufficiently in
terested, will be privileged to dupli.
