DE LESSEPS AT SUEZ.

A Monument to Him to Guard the En-
trance to the Waterway.
Ferdinand De Lesseps is to have
memorial. 1t will take the form Of
statue and will guard the entrance Of
the Suez canal, the one great project
successful conclusion So inseparably
has De Lesseps' name been connected
with the Panama canal scheme that
most people have forgotten that he
first achieved fame by reason of his
connection with the Suez canal. The
idea Of the De Lesseps statue origin
ated with Prince d'Arenberg, an old
friend of the late promoter He has in
ducsd the Suez Canal Company to set
aside liberal sum to defray the ex-
pense of the proposed statue and the
erection thereof. A. very satisfactory
model has been produced by M. Frem-
let, the sculptor, who has already be-
gun the enlargement of his work. He
hopes to complete his task within the
course of the coming two years. M.
Fremiet makes public the. statement
that as the banks of the Suez canal
at it's beginning are the property of
Englishmen, who would no doubt be
opposed to this glorifcation of a
Frenchman, it has been decided that
this monument shall rise from the sea,
which is about thirty feet in depth at
this spot. There will, therefore, be a
firm and solid base of granite, which,
as the bed is sandy, must be very
broad. This platform of granite, which
will be entirely surrounded by water,
will be reared to the height Of twenty
two feet above it's level, and will also
be of six square metres at the top. On
this will rest the pedestal of the statue.
In it's turn the pedestal will be twenty
two feet in altitude, and the statue it.
self within a. few inches of the same
height, while the pedestal, which will
be composed of granite quarried and
prepared in Brittany, France, will be
conveyed in a sailing vessel to Port
Said. The statue will consist of several
pieces in bronze, which have been made
in France. These on arrival will be all
ready to place in position. At the base
OF the statue will be an immense med
allion containing the portraits of the
Khedives who encouraged the piercing
of the isthmu3. Each will be nearly six
feet in size, and the medallions will be
environed by large wreaths Of laurel,
each leaf Of which will be about one
and one-half feet in height. M. De
Lesseps will be represented in the gar
ments of modern civilization, but the
prosaic appearance of these wifi be re-
lieved by sort of burnoose with big
sleeves thrown over his shoulders, the
folds thereof being So disposed as to
present an exceedingly picturesque eff
feet. Looking in the direction of the
sea, M. De Lesseps will be represented
as pointing with one hand to the emit.
rance of the canal and holding a plan
thereof with the other.
