Two Statues of Buddha Bigger than
Bartholdi'S
From the London Daily News.

From the London Daily News.
The statue of Liberty, just inauguratcd
at New York, Subscribed as towering 10
the skies above all known statues of the
present and the past and as 'the Great
Eastern of statues. A much higher
statue exists, and has long existed, in AT
ghanistan. The little knowledge which
has been obtained of this statue. or sta.
tues-for there are more than one--has
been hitherto confined generally TO n few
Indian arch@ologists but we are now i'm.
debted to the Afghan Boundary Commits.
sion-and more particularly to Captain
the Hon. NJ. c. Talbot, II. T.. of the Sur.
vey Department, and Capt Maitland of
the Political Experimentation much more
complete information than we have vet
received.
These statues are on the principal road
between Kabul and Balka, at a locality
known as Bantam At that place the road
passes through valleys, with high scarp.
ed cliffs of conglomcrate. Probably abont
the early centuries of the Christian ern
the Buddhists excavated numerous caves.
as monisteries for themselves. in the rock
of these valleys, These ancient excava-
tions still exist, and can be counted bv
thousands
In addition to these, number of sta.
tues of Buddha were cut out of the solid
rock. Two, at last; are still standing.
and the largest was measured by Cant
Talbot with the theodlte; SO that we now
know the height in at least few inches
The measurment gave il as 173 feet high:
that is rather more by few inches than
the Nelson Column in Trafalgar square
and nearly 40 feet higher than the New
York figure. This figure of Bukeha Is
the real Great Eastern" of statues. The
celebrated Memnon statues of Egvnt
would only come up to the knee of this
mighty ikoR. At Bamian there is anoth.
er figure of Buddha, 120 feet high. These
are erect standing figures there is also n
sitting figure 80 feet high.
There are the remains of other two fig
ures, but they are in ruinous condition.
--one of them is estimated TO have been
about 80 or go feet. These statues were

least the two largest figures as they ex.

course suffered from time Armies have
often passed by the road. Genghiz Khan
and Timur-lung's hosts did so, but they
had only bows and arrows to throw at the
idols. In later times Mohammedan sol.

their great size. stood this treatment very

to which they belong, is stilI faithfully

Whereas, the said Baylor is newly Or

Whereas, there Is no cash market for
any surplus stock on hand, and no de-
mand for labor; and,
Whereas, without help from abroad the

the state legislature pass law prohibit
ing any member of either house Of con-
gress and the legislature from accepting
fee, or employment as attorney or agent
Of any person or corporation, during the
time they are holding such office; and for
the purpose OF more fully meeting obiec-
| ton TO this clause, we demand the pas
sage Of a constitutional amendment paying
| legislators salary of 5000 per annum
and mileage both ways OF cents.
10. We demand that the legislature
pass law absolutely prohibiting the
working Of convict labor in competition
with free labor.
20. We demand that the Legislature en-.
act law requiring all state convicts
where their term of Imprisonment is not
over four years, shall be worked for the
different counties on their public roads,
and that free labor be relieved of this
onerous, unjust and oppressive burden.
We suggest that theproper basis Of rep.
