The statue for BodlOs's Island.

The statue for BedlOe's Island,
Paris XIXiome Steele.
The colossal statue Of Liberty
Lighting the World, erected by
France and America in remem-
brance Of their old friendship, is
coming out little by little from the
immense workshops established ex-
pressly for its construction in the
Rue de Chazelles, No. rs, near
Monceaux Park. The arm and the
hand holding the torch are already
in America, and at present the
sculptor, Bartholdi, is finishing the
principal portion Of the head.
The plaster model is nearly COM
pleted. In a few days it will be
stripped of the scaffolding which
surrounds it and upon which
several gangs of men are at work.
The first sentiment inspired by this
enormous head, nearly thirty feet
high, is almost terror. It's gigantic
dimensions are Supplying; but by
degrees the eye becomes accustomed
to the colossal forms, and the mind
reconciles itself to the extent of
those great lines, and we discover
in the midst of them the majesty
and the light which the author has
endeavored to give to the features.
Bat the public will soon have an
opportunity to see the beauty Of
this work, for the head Of the statue
of liberty is to be exhibited at the
Universal Exposition.
