1872 at the invitation of several of our
leading vocal societies. He was sixty
six years old.
Mark Twain is said to have cleared

The Prevalence of Insanity.

DR.. w. E. Sylvester, in a paper
which appeared recently in the AIientst
and NeuroLogiSt, states that twenty
years ago the number of insane per-
sons in the United States was only
24,O42. In 1870 it had reached 37,432,
and in 1880 treatment was required for
81, $50 lunatics. From 1870 to 1880
the increase in insanity was nearly 150
per cent, while that of the total popu-
lation was about 26. These figures do
not, however, represent actual increase,
but during this period large number
of insane, previously concealed, were
brought to public notice by more
thorough investigation. In America,
apart from several large county asy-
lums, there are 80 State and 40 private
institutions for the care of the insane,
with q proper capacity for about
10000, but containing 1892, thus
leaving, probably, $4,000 to be cared
for elsewhere. The proportion of in
sane is greatest in New England, while
he be increase hes been NEST nest rapid 3ie il il
the West IN States. In the State of
New York there are thirty-fve institu-
tions for the care of these unfortunate
people, accommodating II, 343 patients,
while it is said that there are 1000 pro-
vided for at home.-M Y Post.
Sharp County record., 1885-05-14

The London Daily Ne1OS, in speaking
of it, says: 1T is out and away the
largest statue of modern times. The
Colossus of Rhodes was nothing to 1t.
1t could carry the 'Bravaria' or the
Hermann in its arms. 1t towers to
the skies from the yard of the Rue de
Chazelles, where it has been eight years
in construction, and the view from its
coronet sweeps clear of the siX-stoly
houses and beyond the walls of Paris. "
The weight of this stupendouS statue
is 100000 pounds, of which l16,OOO
pounds are copper and the remainder
wrought-iron. 1t is expected to arrive
in New York about the 25th of May,
where it will be erected on Bedloe 5
Island, this being the location selected
for it by General w. T. Sherman, who
was appointed by the President to make
the selection. When placed in pos ton
it will loom up 30j feet above tidewater,
the height of the statue being l5l.2 feet,
that of the pedestal 81 feet, and founda-
ton 50. 10 feet.
This imposing statue, higher than the
enormous towers of the great Brooklyn
Bridge or the steeple Of Trinity Church.
which is the loftieSt in the city of New
York-higher, in fact, than any of the
colossal statues Of antiquity-by its rare
artistic proportions, as well as by its
stupendous dimensions, will add an
other to the Wonders of the World. A
word should be said OF its artistic merit
The pose, stride and gesture, with its
classic face are pronounced perfect; the
drapery is both massive and fine, and
in some parts is as delicate and silky
in effect as if wrought with fine chisel
on the smallest scale.
The conception and execution of this
great work are due to the great French
sculptor, NJ Bartholdi, who has de-
voted eight years of his life and most of
his fortune to this great work, and
whose generous impulses. which must
be on scale commensurate with this
grand, noble work, prompted him to
make such generous gift to the United
States. The comm ttee in charge of the
construction of the base and pedestal
for this great work are in want of funds
for its completion, and have prepared
a miniature statuet'e, an exact counter
part OF the original, six inches in height,
the figure being made of bronze. the
pedestal of nickel silver, which they are
now delivering to subscribers through
out the United States for the small sum
of one dollar each. All remittances
should be addressed to Richard Butler,
Secretary of the American Committee
OF the Statue of Liberty, No. 33 Mercer
street, New York. The committee are
also prepared to furnish a model. in
same metals, twelve inches in height,
at five dollars each, delivered. Evey
subscriber sending one dollar will be
supplied with a miniature counterpart
of this great and imperishable statue of
Liberty Enlightening the World"
