STATUE IN SEARCH OF A HOME.


Does anybody want the beautiful statue OF the
poet Heinrich Heine. which the late Empress Eliza
beth caused TO be erected the terrace OF Achil-
ieion, her farylike palace at Corfu built for her
regardless of expense? When Emperor William
acquired Achilleion. few years ago. he declined
retain the statue Of Heine For in seeking repose,
peace and agreeable leisure in his lovely Southern
retreat he did not relish the idea OF having
stantly before his eyes the plastic portrayal of
man who had used his undeniable gifts 20 revile
the Hohenzollerns and to ridicule German patri-
otisna.
Learning this, Hamburg publisher purchased
from the Emperor this statue of Heine for the sum
of $500, with the object Of presenting it to his
native city, where Heine had spent considerable
part Of his life He fondIy imagined that the Ham
burg authorities would jump at the chance But
his offers remained without acceptance, and when
he appealed to the Burgomaster and to the Senate
for site for the statue. offering to pay all ex-
penses in connection with its erection and mainten
Rnce. he received a curt refusal. the ground
that if erected in the city it might ohstruct traffic.
and if set up in the geological gardens or any of
the public parks it would probably give rise TO
troublesome demonstrations.
AS the statue is of too imposing character for
private house private garden he has 1t on his
hands, and would gladly dispose Of it to some eity
or public institution which would find a suitable
site for the monument, which is now homeless
