THE BARTHOLDE STATUE
America Receives the Monument from
 France on July 4th.

The formal presentation of the Bartholdi statue of Liberty Enlightening the World by the French government to the United States took place in the Gauthier workshop on July 7th. Mir. L. P. Morton, United States Minister to France, was present and received the statue in the name of his government. Prime Minister Ferry sent letter stating that he re- gretted that illness prevented him from assist ing at g scene of fraternity between two great republics In heart and soul he would partici- pate. M. De Lesseps made aspeech. He said France under all governments had always been friend and ally of America. America now realized that the Panama Canal was a work of universal interest. The statue would forever pledge the bonds of unity between France and the great American people.
 Mir. Morton, replying thanked France in the name of President Arthur and the American people for the statue. He said be was charged to assure Admiral de Lesseps, M. Ferry and the French nation that the American people responded with all their hearts to the sentiments of friendship. The noble gift which that friendship had dictated would render the gratitude of the American people still more profound and stronger. He hoped the statue would remain for all time an emblem of the imperishable sympathies uniting both coun- tries.

A CHOLERA CURE.
The Use of Oxygen and What Has been
 Accomplished By 1t.

Five cases of cholera having been cured in Toulon by the inhalation of pure oxygen, the London ISnaes, com menting on these cases, says: "Nervous persons may henceforth trust in the ex- istence of a cure for cholera. The Academy of Medicine ought to inquire into the oxygen treatment"
 Inquiries concerning the use of oxygen gas in cases of cholera were made in the Health Department by a reporter of the New York Evening Post. Dr. Edward James, chief medical officer of the hos pital service, said that he had known of the gas being used with good results in cases of collapse not resulting from cholera, when it was necessary to bridge over an interval, so as to give nature and remedies an opportunity to act against disease. He thought that its use in cholera was worthy of considera- ton. Dr. Moreau Morris, chief sanitary inspector, said that he administered oxygen gas to a cholera patient in this city in 1866. At that time he was ex- perimenting with the gas, chiefly in cases of lung disease, and he also used it in other cases where collapse had oc- cured or was feared. Where the pa- tient was only just going into collapse the inhalation of the gas was effective, but in the cholera case the patient was already in 8 state of collapse and was not saved. The generation of oxygen gas was at that time attended with much difficulty. He could not produce it rapidly or abundantly enough and it was not pure. Now its manufacture had been reduced to oasystem by which it could be produced as abundantly as desired. Still, production was expensive, and this fact, together with the difficulty of car rying about bulky retorts, etc., would tend to restrict the administration oi oxygen gas among poor people during a cholera epidemic. Hence it's usefulness would be chiefly in hospital practice. He did not think that it would be ser viceable as aprophylactic against cholera, or as a remedy against the disease per SC, but that it would be valuable as a diffusible stimulant to increase the ac- tion of the heart and revive the energy of the patient.

The AnuuaI ApnroprIntIon..

Mir. Randall submitted in the U. s. House q summary of the appropriation bills. By this it appears that the whole amount of appro- priations for the expenses of the government for the last fiscal year was S230, lS7 096 90, and the whole amount appropriated directly for the current fiscal year $lS6, 166, 477.0I.
 Mir. Allison stated the total amount for this year at Sl93, POI ,O87.13.
 The discrepancy between Mir. Randalrs total and that of Mir. Allison is accounted for by the fact that Mir. Allison assumed further appro- priation for the navy to cover the last six months of the current fiscal year upon the basis of the provisional appropriation actually ing this amount, which is nearly Ss,000, GOO and the S66, ,000,000 unexpended balance of former appropriations for pensions reappro- priated brings the grand total appropriated for the fiscal year already entered upon to S259,- POI, ,087, as stated by Mir. Allison.

A Collision of Icebergs.

Lieut. Ray says that notwithstanding all he suffered in the polar regions he would not hesitate to go again. In an interview with Pittsburg Dispatch reporter he attempts to give some idea of what a northern sea of ice looks like:
 "In the summer time you can occa- sionally hear the piping of seagulls, the chatter of ducks, and the growl of wal rus, but you only meet these occasion ally. If you can describe vast sea of ice and snow, which is as irregular as anything you can imagine, you know what an appearance that country has. The nearest comparison l can make to the appearance of one of those icebergs is looking down on a city from the top of a mountain. The high and low houses, with an occasional church steeple, resemble very much one of those floating icebergs. The wind has no effect on them whatever. It is not an uncommon thing to see the 'fioe' or soft ice going in one direction, driven by the wind, and the iceberg moving in an opposite direction, being carried along by the current. There is always seven times the bulk of ice under water that is seen above, and one acquainted with the Polar region can always tell by the color, rigidity and appearance of an ice- berg whether it comes from the North Sea or not. You will sometimes see boulder three or four times as high out of the water as this hotel, and probably ten times as large, carried along by the current, and when two of them come to- gether the force is sufficient to crush the less rigid one. You can judge what steamer would be like when caught be- tween two such icebergs. No boat can ever be built that could withstand the pressure. Although they seem to move slowly they have terrific force and are often crushed by their own weight,

the nomination being unanimous. GROVER CLEVELAND.
 Grover Clev land was born in the town of | Caldwell, county of Essex, New Jersey, on the 18th day of March, 1887. A great uncle of the | Governor known as Father Cleveland, I" was | for many years a city missionary in and about | Boston.
 | Grover Cleveland had the ordinary common school education in the country places where his father was located as pastor, until he was fourteen years old, when he was sent to the academy at Clinton, Oneida county, N Y After brief term in that school he entered | upon clerkship in one of the eleemosynary | institutions of New York city, where he re- mained one year. Returning home at the end ! of that time he determined to go West to seek his fortune, and in the month of May, 1855, | he started with companion for Cleveland. | The travellers made stop in Buffalo, chiefly to enable Mir. Cleveland to pay his compli- ments and 8 short visit to his uncle, Mir. Lewis F. Allen. During this visit the future plans of the nephew were drawn out by MT. Allen, to whom the scheme did not at all seem | promising. As much 10 dissuade his nephew from hIs Western venture anything he told | him that he was in need of clerk and if he would stop in Buffalo he should have the situ- ation. The offer was tempting one, and was accepted.
 MT. Cleveland had already determined to study law, and it was not long before he took students desk in the office of Rogers, Bowen & Rogers. He was admitted to practice as an attorney in 1859. After his admission he con- tinued with his preceptors for four years. He was then appointed Assistant District At toIney for the county of Erie by District Attorney O. c. Torrance. He was nominated by the Democratic County Convention in 1865 for District Attorney to succeed Mr. Tor rance, and was defeated by Lyman K. Bass, Mir. Cleveland formed law copartnership with the late l. V. Vanderpoel on January l. 1866, which was continued until August, 1e69 He then became 8 member of the firm of Laning, Cleveland & Folsom, the late A. P. Laning, and the late Oscar Folsom being his associates. This firm remained in existence for less than two years, and until Mir. Cleveland retired therefrom to assume the duties of Sheriff of Erie county, to which office he was chosen at the election in November, 187O
 At tne expiration of his official term as Sher- III MT. Cleveland became member of the firm oI Messrs Bass, Cleveland & Bissell. MT.
