A Piece of Rebel Silver.

a Piece OF Rebel SILVER.
Washington (Ga.y Gazette.
There has been a great deal said on
the question as to what became of the
Confederate gold and silver that was
brought to Washington about the
time that hostilities ceased, and the
more that ia said and written the
deeper the matter is yelled in mystery !;
but there is q silver half-dolIar of this
money that the Gazette can vouch for,
and it can be seen at any time by call.

Tombs' front yard by Gen. Brecken.
ridge, who insisted that the former
should keep it. Gen. Toombs, who
refused to let it be left for him. found
that it was left in the yard, and had
it carried down town to some of the
authorities to be paid out to the SOL
dien. Capt. Irwin was among the
soldiers who were paid, and he re-
ceived $3.50 as his pro rata. He
thus sacredly kept half dollar of this
money because it was the last the con-
federate government was able to pay
its men.

could become alive and simply open
its closed fingers all that solid wood.
work would fly in splinters, and the
immense scafOlding itself would come
down Ike a castle of cards.
The first model was enlarged four
times. Then it was cut into slices, and
these slices are taken one after the
other and again enlarged to four times
their original size, and thus the dimen-
siens of the colossal statue are obtained.
At present the workmen are engaged
upon the portion that forms the chest.
The model of it can be seen in the
shed. 1t looks like little hill, over
which the men are constantly crossing.
When the draught or model of por-
ton is made, impressions are taken of
it. In order TO- do this it is necessary
to gather together hundreds OF little
planks, cut precisely upon the outlines
Of the model. and in this way a wo-
man mold is obtained, and is divided
into as many fragments as are neces-
sary. Upon these fragments the cop
per is cut and hammered until it cop
les the precise forms. Then Chinese
gongs would not make . greater noise
than is made all day long in the cor
ner of the shed where the copper is
hammered, and this continuous and
dea:ening noise contributes not lit
tie to the strange impression that one
gets f,Om the visit.
When the shaping Of q piece of the
copper is completed it becomes q part
of til statue, and there is nothing fur
Their to do with itexcept to put it in its
place. Just now the y are engaged in
the work of finishing the left hand.
The nail on the first finger would make
a goOd-sized shield. The top of the
finger would make a helmet for the
largest head, and. in default of bet
ter cuirass, William the Conquerer,
who passed for the biggest man of his
time, might easily get into one of the
phalanges.
In six months the whole work will
be finished. There remain only the
chest and left arm to complete. The
head. which is large enough to contain
forty people, has already been exhib-
tied, in 1876 and the right hand has
just come back from America, where
it was sent to give some little idea of
the great size of the statue. Af:er
the Parisians have had ample time to
admire the work it will be taken down
ant sent to New York in more than
three hundred pieces.-Paris Temps.

in respect IF certain property granted
to them centuries ago. Mr.. Pontifex
having handed in the late sheriff's &C.
counts, which, on the motion Of the
secondary, were fled and recorded,
proclamation was thus made: "Ten-
ants and occupiers of a piece of waste
ground called the moors, in the county
of Salop. come forth and do your ser.
vice." The City Solicitor on that pre-.
sented himself, and cut one fagot with
a Ratchet and another with . billhoek.
The next proclamation was Tenants
and occupiers of a certain tenement
called The Forge, in the Parish OF
St. Clement Danes, in the county OF
Middlesex, come forth and do your
service" Sir Thomas Nelson, in dis.
charge, counted six horseshOes and
sixty-one nails, the Queens remem-
brancer, saying. Good number. /"
With that the proceedings, which had
been witnessed, among others, BY the
Baroness Burdett-Coutts, ended. The
forge in question was pulled down in
a riot in the reign of Richard H., and
not restored.

Bartholdi's Great Statue.


The immense scafolding that can be
seen in the direction of the Rue de Chas
Giles reaching over the highest houses
in the neighborhood, on close examin.
alton displays the lines of a human
form, and the gigantic folds of the robe
that Grapes it. 1t is in truth statue,
the greatest that was ever constructed
up to the present time-the statue of
Liberty which the sculptor Bartholdi
conceived. and which Is destined to
serve as . b aeon at the entrance to
the port of New York. From eighty
to ninety artisans are kept constantly
employed upon the work. The statue
is already completed up to the chest.
Perhaps in its present condition it can
be seen to the best advantage. Its ex-
traordinary proportions can be viewed.
and, as it is net completed it is pos
sible to take in all the details of the
construction of this gigantic work,
which will probably remain unequal
ed among the work of bronze. The
plaster molds of the enormous limbs
thrown across the yard, and the busy
workmen covering them with unumer-
able pieces of wood that produces all
the contours and lines remind one of
the well-known scene of CULVER at
Liliput. The men look like tiny
dwarts endeavoring to bind a giant.
And if by a miracle that great hand
