Gen. Stone, who has 20 recently re-

Attempts have been made TO ridicule
Bartholdi's work ~ monstrosity, but it
is evident that its proportions could not
be made much less without making the
work appear Insignificant. The towers
of the Brooklyn bridge do not seem a.
tall As they really are. and Bartholdi's
statue will not appear to be very large
when seen from the Battery or the deck
Of . ship in the bay. The upper half Of
the figure has been erected in Paris, and
it, dimensions are most imposing. but the
artist has wisely estimated the effect upon
the appearance Of his work Of its sur.
roundings in the middle of New York
harbor. No concern should be felt lest
the statue should fail to be an ornament.
The chief occasion for solicitude is con-
corning the method Of its erection. The
Trinity church spire is 2S4 feet high. but
it is not exposed to the fierce wind which
sweeps the bay. The Washington monu-
ment will be 555 feet high, but its base
il IS feet wide, and its width ct the top
will be 40 feet. Great attention must be
given to making both the Bedloe's Island

Stone may be trusted to make the pedes.

cautioned to obtain the opinion Of the

THE FO DA HE MILITARY
W OF THE FRENCH Re-
sHRIIC.


PUBLIC.
NJ. Fl. Barthelemy, who was recently
a professor at the military academy OF
Saint-Cyr, has undertaken to define pre-
ciscly the upon which France
might count to-day should she find her.
self involved in a European war. 1t is
clearly his belief. although he cautiously
leaves the reader to draw differences for
himself, that France is at this moment
a match for Germany and Italy united.
As for Austria, he would doubtless hope
to see her contribution to the forces OF
the league n~eutralized by demonstrations
on her eastern frontier.
Let us look at some Of the facts
brought out by this patriotic, but we'll
informed and competent, student OF
military science. According to Nj. Bar
thelemy the whole number Of French
troops Of the first line Including the
s~actiye army" and "~active reserve IS
1923. 600, Of whom 1889, 600 are trained
soldiers. The 634, 600 unframed men
are enrolled and subject to the Imme-
date call of tue military authorities,
and would be forthwith sent into bar
racks upon the outbreak OF hostilltles.
But the so-called ''irat line" by no
means represents the aggressive power OF
France. The second line, or territorial
army, has an organization almost adentl-
cal with that Of the active army, and
which is equally permanent. The sol
diers, too, are regularly called out ior
training, and it is averred that their
mobilization would be as rapid and
orderly as that Of the reserves attached
to the active army. Nor should the
French territorial army be regarded as
an instrument like the German Land
sturm, only available for the defense OF
the national soil in the event OF an IN
vasion. By a law of July, 1882, the
French Government is authorized to en-
p!oy the territorial force in conjunction
with the first line for all military opera
lions. whether defensive or aggressive.
Now. this territorial army, which, like the
first line, includes an active and a re-
serve section, contains 1889. 900 men, OF
whom not less than l,l5l,0 600 are trained
soldiers. 1t would follow from these data
that the French Republic possesses in
the year lSS3-exclusive Of its sea forces
and OF $40, 900 raw recruits already en-
rolled in companies-about $4,000 600
able. bodied, fully -disciplined and we'll
armed defenders.
Among the weak points of the regen-
Grated French Army, NJ. Bartheiemy
specifies the cavalry. which. owing
mainly to the inferior quality of the
horses, is not qualified to cope with the
same arm in the military establishments
of some other countries. The number OF
officers, moreover, is quite inadequate to
the enormous force Of trained soldiers
which can be placed in the field, to say
nothing of the unframed men who would
specially require instruction and control.
Exclusive Of those holding staff appoint.
ments and military functionaries, there
are only $4,000 officers available for the
first line. and scarcely more than half a.
many for the territorial army. This is a
serious defect IN the system OF France,
Al oompared with that Of her German

The Situation Mt Hawthorne Any.
thing but Encouraging.
There having been stories afioat to the
effect that the Mount Cory Mining Com
pany are putting on new men almost every
day, and that work is just hunting men"
out that way, a miner at Coryville writes
TO the Bodie Free Press to contradict the
wild stories told. He says: The Mount
Cory mine employs but Is men. They are
not putting on any men, and l am credibly
informed that it will be several months
before they will increase the force
at the mine, and l would advise
all business and laboring men to
steer clear of this camp for several months.
There are at present more working and
business men in the camp than can make
q living. Men are leaving every day. The
Mount Cory Company has in contempla-
ton the erection lat some future time)
of reduction works, but no one can tell
when or where, though most likely at
Hawthorne, or within three or four miles
of that place. The orc is very base and
refractory. A great deal of the ore has
| been sent off to be tested at different
places. and l suppose, OF course, that pro-
| cess which will give the best results will
be adopted. The Mount Cory mines are
under the able management OF Supt. A.
G. Mckenzie OF Comstock fame. Mac. is
| slow and cautious, but will be quick
enough when he gets everything ready.
| Col. r. Webster, his efficient foreman, sec
onds Mac. in the prosecution Of the
work. With Major Higgs as chief assayer
the mine is in good hands.

If the great Napoleon famous definition
of superlative female excellence may be
accepted as correct, DR.. Mary Austin is u IN
~questionably the most admirable woman
in France. This woman completed her
SD year Of welded life, during which
period she has presented her husband
with no fewer than IL pledges of her wifely
affection. In the Spring of 1858, four
years after her marriage, May Austin, nee
Kind, passed her final examination at the
Medical College of Orleans, and obtained
diplomas authorizing her to practice in
both branches Of her profession. As soon
as the Franco russian war broke out she
Joined the army with her husband, and
the prolific pair served with extraordinary
distinction throughout the struggle-Dr.
Austin in her surgical capacity and Colonel
Austin as an active militant. The former,
while attending to the hurts Of her com
radey under fire, was thrice wounded In
action-the latter FIVE times. At the con.
clusion Of the war the valiant doctor, hav-
ing lost her left eye in the service Of her
country, but in other respects one the
worse for her injuries and fstigues, re-
turned to her private practice covered with
glory and In the enjoyment Of . staff OH.

citizens, and indefatigaDle In her endeavors
to render her warrior lord the happisst Of

A DREADFUL DEATH.
Mrs. Muir, of Hartford, FrIghtfuIIy
Burned With Coal Oil. Dies. After
IntAnSe Suffering

Mrs. Muir, of Hartford, FrIghtfuIIy
Burned With Coal oil. Dies. After
Intense Suffering.
This community is panied TO learn of
q shocking accident which happened
Sunday at Hartford, ii this county, re-
sulting in the death of MIS-. Muir, otter
eighteen hours of great agony. The
particulars, as we learn them from Mr..
G. Shaver. of Hartford, are as follows:
About noon yesterday Mrs. Muir Was
preparing diaper, which was almost
ready to serve. 1t appears that can
containing coal oil stood quite close to
the kitchen stove, and the contents in
some way became Ignited, either by
sputierings from skillet on the stove,
spark, or possibly by intense heat.
The can was blown 10 atoms, the fam.
ing oil covering the unfortunate woman
in an instant and burning her so that the
flesh fell from her face and hands. AS
quickly as possible the lady's husband
and others hurried to her assistance, but
too late TO save her. All was done that
could be done to ameliorate the terrible
pain of Mrs. Muir, but death put an end
to her suffering about 6 O'Clock this
morning. The funeral will take place
tomorrow. The Muir family came
to this country from England
about eight months ago. Mr.. Muir
owns farm near Hartford and is en-
gagged In building q brick business
house at that place. The husband and
four children are left to mourn the deep
loss they have sustained by such sud
den and terrible calamity, bat they may
rest assured OF 3 heartfelt sympathy from
all their acquaintance.

THE TERrIO-MILLENNIAL
The Opening of Months Festivities

The Opening OF Months Festivities at
Santa Fe
SANTA FE, N. NJ, July "A months
festivities in celebration of the three
hundred and thirty third anniversary of
the first European colonization of the
city OF Santa Fe and the American union
opened here today under the most fiat,
tering auspices.
The grand procession was perhaps the
most unique and interesting of anything
OF the kind attempted. The descendants
of the first distinguished Spaniards that
ever visited American soil, the native
Mexicans, the descendants of the AZtecs,
bancs of Apaches in Warlike attire, the
rare, modest and oriental Zuni Indians,
the flashing military, the martial music,
and the firing of cannon, all combined to
make the scene one of the liveliest in
terest both to citizens and strangers.
Ten thousand people witnessed the pro-
cession and followed it to the ex-
position grounds, where able addresses
were delivered by Hon. Lionel a. Shell
don, governor of the territory, Hon
TranQuilina Luna, territorial delegate
to congress, and Col. w. w. Griffin,
president of the Tertio- Millennial asso-
citation. They dealt with the ancient
and modern history Of New Mexico;
spoke of the rapid advancement now
! making among the native people, and
referred to our vast mineral and pasto-
raj wealth, requiring only wealth to re-
veal its riches. Then the military bands
played "Haii Columbia" and the goY-
ernor declared the mining and indus
trial exposition formally open.
All the exhibits are in place in the
| main hall, and consist of precious ores
from every mineral producing district
in the territory; coal and coke, cereals,
fruits, native jewelry, wool and wooden
fabrics, works OF art on wood, raWhide
| done in vegetable colors and hundreds
of years old, antiquities of three centu-
r1es, etc.
The afternoon was spent in Indian
games, racing, etc. Everybody pro-
| nounced the opening grand success.
Commissioners are present from nearly
all the states and territories. Tonight
the city is in holiday attire. Flags and
bunting are flying on every hOusetop,
while two bands discourse music from
the public plaza, in the presence of sew
eral thousand people. The city Is full
of strangers, and every train brings ex-
ira coaches full of visitors. Many dis
tinguished guests from abroad are here
and will remain throughout the month
| of the TeTtIo- Millennial anniversary, il
the first day can be taken as an indica.
ton. The people are all pleased, and
everything augurs success throughout.
