DetaiIIe Home a Museum.

The will of Edouard Detaille coz
tains a clause bequeathing his superb
house on the Place Malesherbes, with
all it's art treasures, to the city of
Paris for municipal museum of mill
tary uniforms and arms. The artist
also bequeathed $4,000 for the recon
struction of the house to make 1t suit
able for museum.
Nj. Detaille's collection of historic
military costumes, says American Art
News, covers period from Louis XIII
to the latest types adopted during the
presidency of Fallieres. The series Of
Napoleonic uniforms and side arms Is
the best and richest in existence.
The museum will be opened to the
public in the spring.

Trips to the Planets?

A Paris literary man predicts that
trips to the neighboring planets will
be possible some day. 1t is just pre-
diction, however There are no grounds
for it. He thinks it not more impos-
sible than wireless telegraphy would
have seemed three hundred years ago.
But perhaps we are nearing the end
OF the scientific age, instead of being
at the beginning. It has accomplished
quite enough in the field Of transporta-
ton. and mankind should be content
If it turns its time to improving the
Quality of the things that the world
has now gained.

March II, 1853.

A preamble and resolutions looking
toward peace were offered in the Con-
federate house of representatives by
Mr.. Conrad, Of Louisiana, as follows:
Whereas, the present administra-
ton of the United States, by its reck-
restraints, by its persistent efforts to
subvert the institutions of these
states, and the ferocious war which it
is waging for that purpose, has more
than realized the worst apprehensions
Of our people, and fully justified their
wisdom and foresight in averting, by
timely separation from the Union, the
calamities which a longer continu-
ance in it would have rendered newt
able; and
Whereas, a portion Of the people of
the United States have recently mani
tested their disapproval of the war, of
the objects for which and the manner
in which it is being conducted, and
their desire for it's speedy termina-
ton, and several foreign powers, nota-
bly, the government of France, have
expressed a similar desire;
Nov, therefore, the congress of the
Confederate States, deeply impressed
with the conviction that it is their
duty to leave no means untried to
put an end to contest injurious to
the civilized world and disastrous to
the parties engaged, believing that
it's prolongation can only tend to en-
bitter and perpetuate feelings of hos
tility between states which, however
politically disunited, must ever be init
mately connected by identity of Ian
guage and religion, and by the immut-
able laws of geographical amity and
mutual supply and demand, deem the
present time. when there is mo-
mentary lull in the conflict, suit
able one to utter the words of peace.
The sale of pictures of Confederate
soldiers and statesmen was prohib-
tied.

A boat laden with about two thou
sand dollars worth of contraband
goods was captured while attempting
to run the blockade on the Elizabeth
river, near Norfolk, Va.
A numerous and enthusiastic meet
ing was held in the City Hall at Bur-
lington, N. j., for the purpose Of form
ing a Union league. Addresses were
delivered by James w. Scovel and
James G.. Bolts
The Federals abandoned an at
tempt to get below Vicksburg via
Lake Providence The problem pre-
scented to Grant in getting at Vicks-
burg was to get a foothold below
Vicksburg on the east side of the
river. with an assured communication
with the North. He had failed in a
direct movement through Mississippi,
and he had failed to get a foothold
above the city. The object was to
get below the city without being cut
off by the fortress. Lake Providence
was considered as. possible device.
It marked the old bed Of the Missis-
sippi. twenty miles west Of Vicksburg.
and connected by an elaborate and
intricate chain of bayous and small
streams with the Red river, and
thence to the Mississippi; circuit of
four hundred miles Of waterway, all OF
It remote from Vicksburg. There was
one flaw in the plan. Baxter Bayou,
a link in the chain, was shallow
cypress swamp. Soldiers had been
set to work cutting channel through
this bayou; and it was this channel
cutting that was abandoned, other
plans having been adopted by General
Grant.
