4 CoNEEDERARTE MUSEUM
JEFFERSON Davis War Mansion Be-
comes the Repository of
Memertoes,

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 1.-The
old Jefferson Davis mansion is al
most ready for its opening as a
permanent museum for Confed-
crate relics. Within a few days
the opening reception will begin,
and Mrs. Davis and her daughter,
Miss Winnie Davis, will grace the
occ aston. Many distinguished ex-
Confederates will be present.
The house was known during the
war as the "White House of the
Confederacy." 1t was bought by
the city for $4,000, and was offer
ed to Mr.. Davis as a gift. Mr..
Davis declined to accept it as
gift, but consented to make 1T his
residence during his lifetime.
After it was given up by the mill
tary commander when he moved
to Beauvoir, Miss, the city used
it as a schoolhouse until it was
donated for the museum. A large
sum OF money has been expended
in improving the structure, and it
has been made fireproof. The
house is just as it was in the days
of the war. 1t is one OF the oldest
and handsomest residences in the
city. 1t was built by Judge
Brenckenborough. The mantels,
which We're imported from Europe
are OF Carrsra marble, carved in
csryatides, supporting shells filled
with flowers. 1t is a three-story
house with basement. A square
porch, with tall pillars, fronts on
Clay street, and in therear, which
opens into large garden, is por-
tico which runs the length OF the
house. The portico is unusually
wide, and is supported by large
round columns reaching to the
top OF the second story. 1t was
from the top of this porch that
little Joe Davis, the presidents
eldest son, fell and was killed in
the first year Of the war.
1t contains a large collection Of
relics. The De Reune collection,
Of Georgia, which has been donated,
Is said to be second in value Of all
the collections inthe south. Other
relics are the cap, gauntlets and
sword of General Lee, the plumes
from General Stuart's hat, the spy
glass used by General Beauregard
at the battle of Manassas, and the
collections from the various
soldiers homes throughout the
south, including the Lee Camp
Soldiers Home collection, which
embraces in addition TO very many
rare and interesting relices the
skin of Stonewall Jackson's
charger. There are also many
manuscripts and private papers.
A room will be allotted to each
state that belonged to the Con-
federacy, and it will be expected
to contribute to it. The museum
to which Charles Broadway Rouss,
Of New York, contributed 100000
may be combined with it, though
that matter will be settled by the
committee OF the Grand Camp of
Confederate Veterans appointed at
Houston last spring.

When an tnnkeeper sets up conun-
drum as a sign-board he must expect
to have to answer a good many ques-
does not excuse such rudeness as a GER
tain American traveller in Europe is
said to have once perpetrated. The
story, quoted in the Washington Post
Is thus told by a Minnesota politician:
l was travelling through England and
ireland on foot with a knapsack on my
back, and in company with a facetious
friend Of mine named Morrison, and in
our wanderings we came to an inn. 1t
was late at night. but by the bright
moonlight we were able to see that the
sign bore a counterfeit presentment Of
two asses heads, with this not unfa.
miliar legend over the picture:
When shall we three meet again?
We stood for a moment gazing at it.
Then Morrison went to the inner door
and began humping upon 1t with his
cane, while the echoes rang through
the house. l was just going to expos
tulate with him over his unseemly
conduct when an upper window was
thrown open, and the innkeeper thrust
out his head, and in an indignant tone
demanded what in the name of all the
demons we wanted.
That's all right, old man. Don't get
excited" called up my friend in the
most affable voice. There are only
two asses heads on the sign, and just
wanted to see the other one"
And with that we started up the road

Then he went down to London and

In 1868 he was elected to parliament
and was instrumental in securing the
passage Of several acts amending the
shipping laws. These measures were
of great comfort to the English sailor.
In 1880 he went back to the House of
Commons, but gave up his seat to Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, who prom7
ised to use his influence as cabinent
minister to further all parliamentary
matters affecting the well being of
sailors. Mr. Plimsoli has written and

Well Met.

James Edward OglethOrpe founded
the colony of Georgia in 1873, and the
houses erected by him formed the be-
ginning of Savannah. After founding
the colony he returned to England and
received promotion in the army, in
which. at the time Of his death. he held
a commission as general. When young
man General OglethOrpe served in the
Austrian army under Prince Engene.
During this period he was one day
sitting at table with Prince of Wur-
temberg. The prince took up a glass
Of wine, and by flllip made some of it
1y in Oglethorpe's face.
Here was a sore dilemma. To have
challenged the insolent prince on the
spot might have fixed a quarrelsOme
character on the young soldier; to have
taken no notice Of 1t might have been
considered as cowardice. Oglethorpe,
therefore, keeping his eye upon the
prince, and smiling all the time, as II
he took what his highness had done in
test, said:
Mon prince, that's a good joke, but
we do 1t much better In England" and
threw O whole glass Of wine in the
princes face.
The prince half rose from his chair,
hot with anger; but an old general who
sat by checked him and said: I'll bien
fait. mon prince. vous ravez COM
mencee." (He has done right, my prince;
yOu began it,
The prince, thus admonished, recOv-
cred himself and smiled. and so what
might have ended In a tragedy termin-
ated In good humOr and an added re.
spect for young Oglethorpe.
