"Seorab eimen"
The Tipton advertiser. [volume] (Tipton, Cedar Co., Iowa) 1856-1962, 1877-05-31

In an article entitled "Frunce to
America" in .Scribner for June, oc-
ours the following description of Bar
tholdi's Colossal Liberty" which
is to stand in the Harbor Of New
York:
Allowing twenty feet for the height
of the island above the water, the Pc
destal is to be one hundred and ten
feet high, and the statue, to the flame
of the torch, one hundred and forty
five. This makes the torch at least
two hundred and forty-five feet above
the level of the bay. 1t will equal in
height the column in the place Ven
dome at Paris, and will be larger than
the colossus of Rhodes, so much cele-
brated by antiquity. Like that stat
ue, it will have to oe cast in pieces of
manageable size, and built up much
after the manner of an armored frigate.
The construction will be curious
piece of engineering skill, for which
the sculptor and Mr.. de Stuckle will
be responsible. At night it is pro-
posed that halo Of jets of light shall
radiate from the temples of the enor-
NOUS goddess, and perhaps the flame
of the torch may be fashioned in crys-
tai, in order that it may catch the
light of the sun by day, and at night
form y glowing object illuminated by
electricity.
In respect to the pose of the statue,

Russia and Hungary.

CHICAGO, May l9.-You would
oblige many Hungarians by answer
ing us the following questions a.
DO you think, if Austrian and Eng.
land will get entangled and declare
war against Russia, that Hungary
will make an effort to struggle for her
independence? There will be no help
to Austria, and, like as in lS49, the
Hungarians would conquer the Aus
trians. ~ Will Poland try to make
dom again, which was SO miserably
tury? (3) Would the United States
of America assist Hungary and Po-
land in their struggles? There is for
both countries ut present better
chance than they ever may get. Do
you think, as William H. Boxer,
1.-The American Minister to Russis, -
states, that the Emperor William
said he will declare war upon France
as soon as England will be at war BY
answering these questions you would
oblige. OTTOFY IAJOs,
And many here residing Hungarians.
lD As Hungary secured her inde-
pendence by the decree of December,
1867, We do not perceive what inde-
pendence she could struggle for, or
has yet to gain. The Austrian Mon
archy was divided at that time, and
Hungary secured her own Parlia-
ment, which sits In Pesth, her Capt.
tal. She has her own Ministry,
makes her own laws In her own Ian

SANTA BARBARA, CAL,

'N'. -'tii. iFf"s
E,itor Ilrc,tiser.-This is where
we are now, and must correct myself,
for this is i'm Santa Barbara county
is the county seat. We took an ocean
steamer on Monday, at ten o'clock
"A. IN. and started for this place, which
we reached yesterday at five p. m,
having travelled about three hundred
miles south from san Francisco. This
is town of about 5000 inhabitants,
mostly slowed away in kind of pock-
et in the Coast Range mountains,
which seem to surround and overhang
the town, the highest point being, as
| supposed, only about two miles dis
tant, but which | was informed this
morning is eighteen miles away.
But word about our trip on the
ocean: We steamed through the
Golden Gate Immediately after getting
under way. This is the outlet from
San Francisco bay to the ocean.
In crossing the bar the boat began to
u w Set lioiii anu
we had stored away good breakfast
we had to give it up. We met with
no incident of any consequence. Saw
the sea lions and sea gulls in i'm
mense numbers. stopped only once
on the way, that was at San Louis
landing, not at the town, it being some
nine miles away, but is connected
with the landing by narrow gauge
railroad through the coast mountains.
The main thing which attracted my
attention, however, was the petroleum
oil which appears upon the surface of
the water. 1t is first seen near Point
Conception, and extends about thirty
miles south. In some places, from the
appearance, one could skim large
painful ut one motion. In passing
through 1t the smell is rs strong ~ 1t Is
In passing among the oil wells Of West
Virginia. II seems to me this might
be utilized.

that has been calculated with care. 4
Liberty would have TO be draped
even ifa draped statue We're not ad-
visable in climate so cold as ours,
where nude figures suggest extreme
discomfort. But NJ. Bartholdi has al
so used his drapery to give a tower
like and therefore solid look to
his lofty woman without forgetting
the necessity for variety in the up
ward lines. Or perhaps ii would be
better TO say that he has followed the
laws of stability TO be seen in the
trunks OF trees, which are very broad
at the ground, where the roots are in
dicated, yet by no means of one mo-
notonous breadth from the root to the
branches.
She will stand SO a To suggest that
the strongest hurricane could never
bulge her from the pcdest tai she has
chosen. Her gesture is meant to call
the attention of the most distant per-
son, and, moreover. TO let him know
Enthusiastically what the figure means.
For in this statue, also NJ. Bartholdi
has applied his science in fine effect
i'm getting the figure outlined against
the sky, while the energetic attitude
has not intertered with certain dig
nitied repose which inheres i'm the
resting position and which may be
owing To the weight of the body be-
ing thrown on the left leg, as well a.
to the grave folds of ample drapery.
Even If stranger approaching from
the Narrows should not at once know
what she is holding up for him to see,
the energy of her action will awaken
his curiosity, and the dignity of it
will make him await "A nearer ap-
proach with confidence. When he
can make out the tablets of the law
which iut from her left side rs they
rest on her bent arm, and the flaming
torch which she holds high up above
her head while her eyes are fixed on
the horizon, he will be dull indeed if
he does not understand what she
wishes to tell.

guage, levies her own taxes and spends
them TO suit herself. The Emperor
of Austria Is only King of Hungary
and is obliged to obey the Hungarian
Constitution and laws. There is on
~ an alliance, not union, existing
between the two nations. Austria,
which Is German aad Sehlave, does
not want to go to war with Russia
the Magyars of Hungary do, because
they sympathize with the Turks,
whom they claim to be cousins by
blood and descent, and at the same
time they hate the Russians. The
Sclavic population of the Kingdom of
Hungary number about one-third of
the whole, or five and half millions,
and their sympathies are with the
Russians, because they are of the
same race and many of the same re-
ligiOn. ~ A portion of the Poles, if
they saw fair chance, would un-
doubtedly try to make an insurrection,
ana SET up again the Polish Kingdom;
but there does not appear to be any
prospect of an opportunity occurring,
as the country is covered with Rus
sian forts and troops, and many of the
Polish peasants have become land
owners and reconciled to the Russian
Government. 49, The United States
will interfere in no foreign complica-
tions. The fixed policy of this coun-
try is non-intervention. No political
is stronger with Americans
than to keep out of all entangling al
liances. 1t may be quite safely stated
that the United States will not aid
either Hungary or Poland to fight
the Russians or help the Turks

California made mistake in refusing
greenbacks as currency, the result of
which evidently retarded emigration

A Long Tunnel.

Baltimore is constructing the long
est tunnel in the country. When
completed it will be seven miles long,
circular in shape, and twelve feet in
diameter. Five miles of the distance
is very hard rock, and the drilling is
done by manual labor, power drills
being impracticable in such a small
space. The rest of the wall will be
bricked. Fifteen shafts have been
sunk. The cost Is estimated at 81, 3,OOO,-
900; about l,5O0 men are employed,
and the tunnel will probably be COM
pleted in three years. The object of
the tunnel is to supply the city with
water, the present supply having
proven inadequate and of wretched
quality.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL,

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL,
Dec. 10th, 1876.
Effof idccrtiser.-We left STAN
wood, Iowa, on Monday, the llth of
December, and arrived at this place on
time saturday evening at five o'clock
and twenty minutes. Our friends
may want to hear word or two i'm
regard to the road and the season.
Well, we found the road in excellent
condition all the way-hard and dry:
there was snow on the ground till we
passed Cedar Rapids, and then we
found none TO speak of till we COM
menced to climb the Rocky Mountain
range, and when we got to the top of
these mountains, and from that to
Laramie the snow was about four inch
Is deep; then we wentto bed, and the
next morning there was no snow to be
seen, and 30 clear through, except on
the top of the Sierra Nevadas We
also crossed these in the night. But I
must 90 back to the great alkali des-
ert, on the Humboldt River. This ex-
ceeds all the disagreeable places ever
saw. For about two hundred miles
there appears to be quite a snow on
ground, but the inhalation of alkali
causes one to suspect, and on going
out he will find bed of saleratus
about two inches deep and where it
lies on kind of grass it is as white as
show. 1t is pure saleratus. Why is
there not speculation in gathering
this and selling it!'
When we awoke we were going
down the western slope, and the noun
tains were covered with pine trees.
Here we shifted the balmy air of Cali
fornia, and ! tell you it seems to re-
fresh one almost Immediately
perhaps more of this next time. AS
we rolled down over the foot hills we
saw some delightful situations to live
on. The grass is green; flowers in
the airso mild and pure. This road |
passes through a rich mining country.
Bat must stop. We go to Santa
Barbara, in San Beunaventura county, |
CAL, next Monday. 1t is about three
hundred miles south on the coast. |
Will be there probably five or six
weeks, and If you wish ! will try to
write something about the people and
business of this country, also of the
climate. So far am delighted with it,
but can't say as much of the people
of this city.

A scandal is on the tapis at Marion.
A Mrs. Davis hung out sign as mil
liner on one of the principal streets,
and owing to the fact that she had en-
gagged gentleman to keep her books
in business shape, and give her legal
advice, the scandal-mongers have got
to gossipplng. Friday afternoon
delegation of several citizens waited
upon Mrs. Davis and politely re-
quested her to pack up and leave the
town in twenty-four hours, or suffer
the consequences. She fatty refused
to do anything of the sort. At about
o'clock Friday the establishment
was raided by unknown parties, and
the door and windows, front and rear,
demolished, and the whole edifice
smeared with stale eggs. Mrs. Davis
shows determination to stand her
grounds. She has engaged counsel,
and lively investigation will follow.
No arrests as yet, but considerable ex-
element prevails over the affair.

story, and Gives the Bottom Facts.
Last week at the Tombs court, New
York city, before Judge Duffy, two claim
ants appeared for and with a handsome
Newfoundland dog As neither had any
corrobOrative evidence, the astute Judge
decided that the instinct of the dog himself
would be the surest test of ownership. A
policeman was ordered to hold the dog in
the center of the court room, while one
claimant was placed on one side of the
room, the other on the opposite side. Both
were ordered to whistle for the dog at q
signal from the judge, the dog to be re-
leased at the same time, and chooee between
the claimants.
The judge called time each claimant
whistled to the best of his ability. Police
man let go the dog but the dog, after
scene, escaped through the door, and
sought elsewhere its rightful ownei
A similar scene has been enacted for the
past two weeks among the piano men. A
couple Of piano-forte manutacturers-both
honorable men-hsve been whistling their
respective centennial awards through the
public press, with about as much success
as the claimants had with the dog.
The prize belongs elsewhere.
Stripped, then, of all verbiage, subter-
fuge, elimination and recrimination, law
suits, and all side issues simply intended to
befog the public. the naked facts as to the
centennial awards are just these:
Most OF the leading manufacturers re-
ceived nearly the same recognition in re-
gard to workmanship. Durability the
commission could only guess at. The
only real distinction was made by the jury
as to the TONE of the pianos exhibited.
The piano, violin, and every other musi-
cal instrument is valued and purchased

Thus, then, the Batomore house is given

added singing quality.
The New York house for "largest vol
ume, purity and duration of tone"
Whereas to WEBER is awarded "sympa-
thetic, pure, and rich tone, combined with
greatest power"
Comment as to which is the highest
award would be an insult to the intelligent
musical public.
Let them be the judges as to who is the
rightful owner of the centennial prize.
Suffice 1t to say that the Weber award
contains all that is possible in piano-forte
