THE STATUE OF LA LIBKRTE.-Moret than
$500, have been subscribed toward the cree.
ton of the colossal statue on BedlOe' Island.
The whole amount needed is $3.50. 900. 1t will
require two years to finish 1t. NJ. Bartholdi,
the designer and sculptor, Is now In this
country. He bears letters from each of the
French artists, authorizing him to receive
the $4,000 realized from the sale OF
their paintings for the relief OF the sufferers
of the great fire In Chicago. 1t appears that
when the paintings had been sold tho Chi
cago fire relief committee had concluded
their labors and had dissolved. When this
condition OF affairs became known the
money was placed on deposit with F. d.
Morgan * Co., of this city, and 1t Is there
still. NJ. Bartholdi will consult with Mr.. r.
r. Coudert, president of the French benevo-
lent society, as to the best mode of having
the funds transferred.-lN r Herald, 26th.
