THE OLD DAVIS MANSION.
The Confs deraso White House to Bo onvor1ed Into a Museum.
Opens washington's Blrthday-Souvo- mfrs of the Confectionery to Be Proserved by Society in Richmond-The
 sceessionists' Constitution.
fcopxRrcnr. 1896. l

The old mansion of Jefferson Davis is to be opened as museum for relies of the war. It was built about 70 years mond was used as headquarters for the union army.
 Though more than. 30 years have elapsed since Lee laid down his sword at Appomattox it is only in the last two years that any movement has been started to perpetuate the memory of the confederaey by the preservation of it's famous spots at the capital of the nation which lives but as a mem ory. And by q wise choice the formal opening of the new museum. the house in which Jefferson Davis lived as pres ident, Is to take place on the 22d of this month, the same day on which is eele- brated the birth of Washington.
 The old Davis mansion stands in Richmond, Va, in q quiet part of the city, en corner at the intersection of May and Twelfth streets. It is on a high hill, from which one has view of deep rayine covered with rambling shanties and waste lots on one side, while on the other the ground rises towards the west, where the street loses itself in the more fashionable quarter of town. The mansion faces the north, and it's front covers the eli, tire portion of the occupied block, but just opposite ie a long red brick build ing which completely shuts out the view in that direction.
 The house, which is an immense brick one, has been recently painted light gray. It was built about 70 years ago by Judge s3rokenborough, whose family lived there for some time. Here it was that the cabinet of the confed- crate states met, here that Lee and Davis discussed the fate of the cause and here, too, were enacted some of the most brilliant, and, later on, some ot the most pathetic scenes of the civil strife. It was in '62 that the Davis family took possession of the man. sion, and Mrs. Davis set to work to make it comfortable and attractive home. She gave state dinners. and

over one of the magnets, the depth of water below the keel is so slight that the magnet would come up to the ship with great force. Having once touched the keel, the electric current from the shore would either stop the ship, or the magnet would be dragged along the keel until il would strike the propellers, which would be done with such force as to crush them.
 'In case the first magnet should not be strong enough, and the ship should cross a second, the second would seek the end of the ship opposite the first, forming the two poles and magnetiz- ing the entire ship. Then it would be impossible for the ships steam power to overcome this force, while all moY- able iron would be stuck solid.
 .'All this is very plausible and could be made practical. Of course, what IS done in New York harbor and along the immediate coasts could be done elsewhere. It would cost very little to try this first on one of our own bat tie ships entering the harbor, and little harm could be done, for the current from the shore could be shut off inn mediately at a signal from the ship.
 .As to the defection of the compass of the ship, when one of these mag nets should strike the keel, the com- pass could be made to whirl like school boys top, for it would be an all most direct contact with the magret."
 After Investigating the subject thus far, one of my own wild ideas is that, in a sudden emergency, the submarine cable connecting these deep-sea mag nets with the shore could be connected with trolley-car power house, and the magnetic power could be quickly run away up to the top of the alphabet, and battle ship would hardly realize what had struck it.
 WASHINGTON DAVIS.

once a week there was a large reeep, ton, for society at the capital was gay, ;n spite of the thunders of war that echoed from the distant hills.
 In 1871, the residence, then in posses sion of the city, was turned into q school known as the "Central.' The Furniture was sold and thus scattered about the country Of late years the mansion has fallen into decay and it was fast becoming q desolate ruin, when it's aspect attracted the attention of some ladies of the city, whe imme diately formed an association to re- store it and convert it into museum.
 One enters the house by series of snort steps which lead to q small, semi circular hall. On each side of this hall are niches in which stand bronze statues of feminine figures. This en- trance has two narrow halls leading off on the right and left, but just in front it opens into large, lofty room which was one of the parlors used by Davis. At the back of the house and on a level with the second floor is a vide portico whose roof is supported by ten white pillars.
 The cost of repairing has so far been about $14,000, which was covered by the $30,0o0 proceeds of bazar held in the city several years ago. Half of that fund was donated to the monument erected in honor of the soldiers and sail ors, and the rest was kept to work on the museum. A room has been given to each one of the confederate states, re- gent from that state being appointed tC secure relics and place them in the right chamber. Maryland and Ken lucky, though they did not secede, are represented, because of the large num- Der of soldiers which they sent to the and Miss Winnie Davis are among the ladies in charge.
 Those who have in their care the col lecting of relics have succeeded in se- curing a large number of valuable curios. These will be catalogued and assigned to the rooms belonging to the states from which the relics came and will be in place within few weeks. trough it is doubtful if all will be within the house by the day of the formal opening on the 22d of this month. The most valuable of any col lection possessed by the association is that which was donated by the late Mrs. Du Reunne, of Savannah. Ga. Tn this collection is the greatest treasure owned by the south-the original draft of the confederate constitution with the interlineations and erasures. It is about the size of the Declaration of Independence and will be kept under glass and carefully guarded.
 In the museum also reposes the last missive ever written by Gen. Stone wall Jackson. 1t was to Lee and was written while Jackson sat on horse back just before the fatal ride in which

She seeks the wife of an older member, who pities her ignorance, and patronizes her with an air of superior wisdom born of experience, and offers perhaps to pilot her through the uncertain shoals of so- ciety as she has found it.
 The new members wife is dismayed when she finds she is expected to make calls on the wives of the president and vice president, the eight cabinetoficers, the nine supreme court justices and the sS senators before they call on her. She hesitates. but finally gains courage and sallies forth with her new cards and her best gown. She feels as she goes from house to house that she has realized her ambition; that she has

They could be sunk to the bottom of the sea. and xvo,,ld act just as efficiently under water as on land. 'sA ''' oh
 For instance, take the entrance to New York harbor. The chart here as you see, shows that the channel is very narrow, and that is one great ad- vantage. If we should take a few old cannon barrels and make, magnets of them, like Col. Kings, they could he dropped in a line across the channel a few hundred feet apart, and here and there around Sandy Hook, connectino them each with & powerful battery on shore. The apparatus would be com pafatlvely inexpensive and simnle Each one would be what we call a fem porary magnet, thatis, one which could be magnit1zed temporarily by q current or electricity transmitted through the cable from the shore. A permanent magnet, or one retaining constant pow er' could hardly be made large enough to be efficient, and if it were, it's con- stant force would endanger all incem- Ing vessels all the time. But A mao- net, or line of magnets like Col. King's could be magnetized and made active In minute, and the current could be shut off quickly. The power of the magnet would depend upon the strength of the current received from the shore.
 Now suppose a battle ship were com ing Up the channel into New York har- Dor. The ship is made almost entirely of iron and steel. The line of great magnets lying under and across it's headway, could be powerfully magnet lzed. When the ship approached with ln 200 feet of magnet, the latter would leave it's bed and cling to the forward keel, and if the ship should pass directly

 But she IS not long in realizing that the dress that was considered triumph of the dressmaker's art at home is al most dowdy by contrast with the gor- geous costumes she sees about her.
 She finds that instead of sitting down and visiting with Mrs. Senator Blank from her own state, she gets formal shake of the hand and is passed on with out word into a room filled with strange people. She knows nobody and apparently nobody wants to know her. She makes a speedy exit past her in- different hostess, and goes back to the dingy boarding house to tell her hus- band of her experience.
