THE STATUE.

This new wonder of the world, which
arrived in New York to-day, on the
French steamer Isere. is the largest
statue in the world. Some idea OF its
magnitude may be obtained from the
fact that forty persons found standing
room within the head. A six-foot man
standing on the level of the lips only just
reached the eyebrow. While workmen
were employed on the crown of her head
they seemed to be making huge sugar
caldron, and they jumped with ease in
and out the tip of the nose. Fifteen
people might sit round the flame of the
torch, which elevation can be reached by
a spiral staircase within the outstretch-
ed arm.
The London Daily News, in speaking
of it says: at is out and away the largest
statue of modern times. The Colossus of
Rhodes was nothing to it. 1t could
carry the Bavaria or the Hermann IN
its arms. It lowered to the skies from the
yard of the Rue de Chazellas, where 1t
has been eight years in construction.
and the view from Its coronet swept
clear of the six-story houses and beyond
the walls of Paris"
The weight of this stupendous statue is
440, 600 pounds, of which 176, 900 pounds
are copper and the remainder wrought
iron. It will be erected on Bedloe's Is
land, this being the location selected for
it by Gen. W. T. Sherman, who was APP
pointed by the president to make the
selection. When placed into position 1t
will loom up 305 feet above tide-water,
the highest point of the statue being
1912 feet, that of the pedestal 81 feet,
and foundation SO 10 feet.
The 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
ork,-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 another
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 dra-
perry is both MASSIVE and fine, and IN
some parts is as delicate and silky in ef-
feet as if wrought with a fine chisel on
the smallest scale.
The conception and execution of this
great work are due to the great French
sculptor, 81. Bartholdi, who has devoted
eight years of his life and most of his
fortune to this great work, and whose
generous impulses, which must be on a
scale commensurate with this noble
work, prompted him to make such gift
to the United States.

The Domine's character and attrt-
butes are SO wildly portrayed through
the annals of the ancient colony that
one can easily picture him to the eye.
We may imagine ourselves seeing him
some fine Sunday morning coming out
of his house in the Marckvelt, situate
in the present Whitehall Street near
Stone, on his way to the church. A
large, dignifed, portly man, with q
determined, grave expression on bis
square Dutch face, relieved by kindly
eye and benignant smile. clad IN
long black serge coat with large black
buttons running to the bottom; broad
felt hat covers his brow. and black
limbs. His portly figure and somewhat
roseate face show that it was no part
of the theology Of the Synod Of bort
that there should be an entire ebsti-
hence from the faesh-pots Of Egypt. On
his arm is Mrs. Anneke, In her waist
Jacket of dark cloth, with the little
pendent tails behind. Her petticost is
of purple cloth; her neat colored stock
ings. with clocks on the side, are in
cased in high-heeled shoes, betokening
that she was person OF consequence;
in her hand is her silver-clasped Bible
brought with her from the old country;
and from her girdle on one side de-
ponds by silver chain the Psalm-book.
and on the other side hangs purse
embroidered by her own skillful hand;
over one arm hangs her yellow and red
rain-hood, to protect sgainst possible
shower.

Lincoln Journal: The question OF
fighting prohibition seems to have been
settled In Kansas. 1t will be let alone
by both parties, the Democratic state or
gan having just issued a ukase to that
effect, and the Republicans having so
stated In convention. We shall now see

1t 1t succeeds after term OF years, in
materially reducing crime and immor-
alitv, In advancing education and add
ing to wealth, it will have accomplished
something of what has been claimed as

1t has failed to do III Maine. But public
sentiment is nearer the prohibition marx

MT. McGREGoR, N. Y, June IL
DIR. Douglas felt encouraged when he
came out at 8 O'Clock. He thought the
general had slept well. although he had
been called to attend him three times
during the night The huskiness of his
voice was considerably relieved, but Its
loss had been owing to the generals
weakness rather than TO fatigue, and its
recovery would be slow. Col. Fred
Grant said of his father that he had con-
siderable rest last night and this morning
his voice mad improved SO that We can
understand him when he tries to whis-
per. When went to his room q little
while ago he whispered very family
that he found his voice little stronger
to-day, but that he should not try to use
1t, hoping with caution it would grow
strong enough so that he could talk
again. "But" added Col Grant 'the
failure of fathers voice is owing to de-
bIlity and he Is growing weaker all the
while The change of air he feels just
now, but as I said his weakness constant
ly grows upon him.. A little white
tent, with small flags flutterIng from it,
is pitched close to Gen. Grants cottage.
