American  Sanitary  Museum  at  Paris. — Mr.  Abner  L  Ely,  of  New  York, 
has  sent  us  a  printed  circular  from  Dr.  Thos.  W.  Evans,  of  Paris,  who  has 
taken  much  interest  in  the  labors  of  the  ."  Sanitary  Commission  "  as  re- 
gards mitigating  the  horrors  of  war,  during  the  operations  of  the  Army  in 
the  late  rebellion,  and  now  desires  to  acquaint  the  European  public  with 
the  great  number  of  ingenious  inventions  made  by  his  countrymen  in  view 
of  relieving  the  sick  and  the  wounded  soldiers.  We  extract  the  follow- 
ing :— 
"  In  order  to  realize  this  project,  I  intend  to  assemble  in  a  collection 
the  products  of  those  inventions  which  have  enabled  the  Sanitary  Commis- 
sion to  fulfil  its  mission. 
"  The  universal  Exhibition  that  is  to  be  opened  in  Paris  in  1857,  is  cer- 
tainly the  best  opportunity  for  the  inauguration  of  this  Sanitary  Museum. 
During  that  exhibition  no  civilized  nation  will  be  unrepresented  in  the 
French  metropolis.  The  articles  exhibited  in  such  a  museum  will  there- 
fore call  the  attention  of  all  those  who  wish  the  welfare  of  mankind  and 
acquaint  all  nations  with  the  name  of  their  inventors. 
f'In  addressing  myself  to  my  countrymen  I  am  firmly  convinced  that 
they  will  assist  me  in  this  patriotic  and  humanitary  enterprise.  Although 
I  am  willing  to  purchase  all  such  articles  as  may  be  useful,  I  shall  grate- 
fully accept  any  objects  that  the  inventors  or  manufacturers  would  wish  to 
contribute. 
"  I  therefore  most  respectfully  request  all  such  persons  who  are  dis- 
posed to  co-operate  in  the  creation  of  the  American  Sanitary  Museum,  to 
address  their  communications  to  Dr.  Thomas  W.  Evans,  15  Rue  de  la  Paix, 
Paris,  France,  or  to  Mr.  Abner  L.  Ely,  22  Pine  St.,  New  York."
