Confederate Museum.

The stately and beautiful mansion
occupied by the Hon. Jefferson Davis,
while President Of the Confederates
States, the "White House of the
Confederacy, is owned by the
Confederate Memorial Literary Society
of Richmond, Va, and has by it been
renovated, made fire proof and is now
a Confederate museum. 1t stands at
the corner of Clay and Twelfth streets,
facing Clay street with spacious
grounds around it, extending from
Twelfth street West to Thirteenth
street East. If desired, a building
$50 feet long by so feet wide could be
placed beside the mansion. and there
would still be space for grass plots
and walks around both buildings.
The museum and grounds now repre-
sent in money value over S6O,O0O
worth of property owned by the Con-
federate Memorial Literary Society,
which society is chartered and con-
sists of active and life members. The
mansion is held in sacred trust by the
society, having been given to it by
the city, and could not be bought for
any sum, being itself the greatest of
relics, a pearl above price.
A room has been given to every one
of the former Confederate States, in
Guiding Maryland and Kentucky. A
regent has been appointed from each
State, while a vice regent, a resident
of Richmond, has also been chosen to
carry out the instruction of the regent
and take charge of the room for her.
The regent for South Carolina is
Miss May Singleton Hampton, Gen.
Wade Hampton's daughter. The
large Southwest room on the second
story is the South Carolina room, one
of the most desirable Of the fifteen
handsome rooms in the museum.
The object of the Confederate
Memorial Literary Society is the pres
ervation of relics and records of the
Confederacy, that future generations
may gather a true history of the war
between the States.
Original documents, or any relics of
that wartime, either loaned or donat-
ed to the museum, will be carefully
guarded.
Futher information can be had from
the vice-regent for South Carolina,

A MUSICAL CHAIR.

We can expect, in the future, upon
entering a friends parlor and taking =
seat. to be greeted with the strains of
some popular opera. At least, this is
mace possible by a RECENTLY patented
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1896-02-26
invention for a musical chair. The

invention for a musical chair. The
chair has the appearance Of being an
ordinary one, and to all intents and
purposes is, with the exception that
under the seat is concealed music
box. This seat proper is flexible, so
that, when sat upon, it will be slightly
depressed. This depression Of the
seat operates a catch and releases the
drum of the music box. Different
chairs or articles of furniture may be
loaded with different operas. at re-
ceptions the hostess will, of coure,
take great oare that her guests are
seated in the chair containing their
favorite opera.
A STEAM MAN.
This is an intricate piece Of ma
chinery. His legs are operated by
suitable levers, cranks and steam cyl
inders, 80 that when hitohed to q car
riage ne has every appearance Of an
ordinary man drawing a coach behind
him. He is supported in an upright
position by the shafts Of a coach. A
pipe protrudes from his mouth, and
the smoke and steam are discharged
through the same, thus making it ap-
pear that he is enjoying a quiet smoke
while dragging his heavy burden along
the street. The levers, cranks and
other parts are, Of course, hidden by
suitable clothing or livery.
TOY cow THAT CAN BE MIXED.
The body of this animal is formed
Of either wood or metal, and is an
exact representation Of an ordinary
Jersey cow as she stands while being
MIXED. A suitable tank is arranged
within the body Of the cow and can be
filed with real milk from the outside.
This tank is provided with suitable
nipples. These nipples are operated
in exactly the same manner as in milk
ing the real every day article. This
movement Of milking the Jersey also
transmits motion to her pivoted jaws,
and it thus appears that she isquietly
chewing her cud while being MIXED.
A HOTcH-PoT OF PATENTED INVENTIONS
A cannon motor, to the mind Of one
Of our inventors, is the ideal method
Of generating power. This motor con-
sists of an endless chain carrying
teeth or projections ; said chain being
supported on suitable wheels for trans
mitting the power impaired to it..
This power is derived from two can
mons arranged on opposite sides of the
machine and firing alternately against
devices that engage the projections on
the chain-one cannon being reloaded
while the other is being discharged.
An automatic gallows is the subject
of a recent patent. With this device
no special person can be pointed out
as the mar who sprung the trap, send
ing the unfortunate convict to his
death. The device is set and the trap
sprung by a time catch.
Boiler explosions and consequential
injury TO life and property in the
future will be accountable for only by
those who wilfully ignore the great
invention Of one of our citizens. This
comprises one boiler surrounded by
another. When the inner boiler bursts
the outer one catches the flying iron,
water and steam and any injury is
thus averted, at least SO the aforesaid
citizen is o%pinioned.
