The Statue Of Liberty.

Dear Capitolian-I have just received,
from my sister in Brooklyn, N. Y, avery
beautiful little silk badge representing
this statue, which ! will place in Mr..
John Johnsons jewelry store, q few
days, so that those who desire may see
and realize it's beauty.
Her description of both the badge and
statue is so good, give it in the follow
ing extract from her letter:
"It is interesting, as showing how
beautifully silk weaving can be execu-
ted in this country. Then the statue
is very graceful in poise and proportion,
and the flags woven most ingeniously
and tastefully. You probably remember
that our sister Republic Of France, made
the United States a Centennial gift Of a
Statue of Liberty to be placed in the
harbor of New York, as light house.
The idea embodied Liberty giving light
to the world
"rhe originators of this magnificent
gift make it still more interesting. They
were M. Laboulaye, Waddington, De
Tocqueville, the Count de Rochambeau
(whose grandfather commanded the
French fleet that gave us good help in
our Revolutionary struggle) and the Mar.
quis de Lafayette, grandson of our best
friend in the days of our sorest need.
'The figure is all made of beaten cop
per, 112 feet to the top of the head; the
right hand, uplifted, to the top of the
torch will add 26 feet to that. Then it
is to be placed on granite pedestal, as
shown, 81 feet above the ground-mak-
ing it's entire altitude 22O feet. The ar
tist is Bertholdi.
"It is said that this is the first instance
recorded in history, in which one nation
has presented q monument to another,
in token of respect for her power and
greatness. 1t is to be placed on Bcdloe's
Island. We are to furnish the pedes-
tai. 1t is to be completed by our
next grand celebration and "Peace Cen
tennial," September I'd, 1888. Isuppose
you see, by the papers, that the citizens
of New York and Brooklyn have already
organized for grand Exposition at that
time.
1t is now thought that Brooklyn's
Prospect Park will be selected as the
most eligible spot. You recollect the
Colossus Of Rhodes-one of the Seven
Wonders-was but lis feet in height.
Ourmodern Pharos will literally outshine
all that has ever gone BEFORE"
Yours, &c. VIM. G. WALLER.

The Vienna Sentinel puts the case
as follows: GAS for drummers we
believe they are all necessary evils
which if they could be gotten rid Of
would be better for all parties. And
we say if a tax is levied on drummers

THE PRESENT EASTERN QUESTION

AS may he seen by advertisement
Professor Alonzo Tripp, the eminent
author, traveller and lecturer on Eu-
rope, will deliver in Baton Rouge, bo-
ginning probably on Monday evening
next, a course of his series descrip-
tive of the latest great epochs of
French and European history, and
the prominent actors including
the Eastern Question illustrated by
maps, the information being largely
from personal and original sources.
Professor Trip has made his grand
theme Il life work under rare circum-
stances for acquiring fresh and exact
information; and his present series
have been delivered, as the subject
was developed, before brilliant audi
ences, in nearly every principal place
and before the higher institutions of
learning, in seventeen States from
Maine to Louisiana. The lectures, or
historic portraitures, are emphatically
indorsed and commended by the most
cultured and distinguished minds all
over the country, as being graphic;
picturesque and vivid, and as uniting
the charm of romance with a scholarly
precision, to satisfy the highest intel
ligence and the most critical taste.
Prof. Trip comes here direct from
New Orleans, where he recently de-
livered a course of four lectures under
the auspices and patronage Of one
hundred of the most prominent citi-
zens of the city; also, a full course of
eight lectures for the young ladies
Normal school under Mrs. Shaw. He
also lectured in the Boys High school
by recommendation of Prof. Rogers,
the city superintendent. Prof. Trip
brought letters of introduction to pro-
minent citizens of Baton Rouge, and
has numerous letters of introduction
and commendation from distinguished
gentlemen all over the country, among
Others from Rev. Dr.Palmer of Mobile,
formerly a Professorin our University.
The following from the Charleston,
s. G., Courier and News, Dec. l8,
1873, will give an idea of his produc-
tiOns:
''In series of brilliant historical
sketches of France and Europe from
l545 down to the present time, the
Lecturer depicts the situation and
events of some of the most important
and gigantic struggles and changes
that have shaken the world, with sucl,
graphic eloquencc that the listener
forgetful of self and surroundings.
feels translated to the scenes de-
scribcd."

well known physician CT New York as
serts a his positive belief that more
than t~hree-fourths Of all so-called sum-
mel complaints arise from disordered
secretions, and that these ~secretionary
organs, which, by being out Of order
cause SO much trouble. are the Kidneys
and Liver. These organs are the gov
ernors Of the system. and by their move
nlents the other parts Of the body are
regulated. The brain controls the life,
bnt the lower part Of the body rnles the
health.
There is one, and only n known
vegetable that will absolutely regulate
and control the Kidneys and Liver at
all times and thus prevent the many
dangers Of the summer. That vege-
table Ia West India leaf.) Is used rs the
basis OF Warmers Safe Kidney and

use 1t in perfect health, and cures those
whose secretions are deranged. For all
urinary complaints OF either sex It is
infallible. For all bilious troubles 1t Is
certain. For the hot season 1t Is inval-
liable, and 1t should be used upon the
approach Of the slightest symptoms. It
may save your life or that Of some dear
