STATUE OF LIBERTY UX VEILEI). Bartholdi's statue to Liberty, pre sented by him to the United Status was uiueikd i!i Thursday last. The graud Civic aud Military parade was very fine, notwithstanding a drizzling niu. The I'residcnt received the slatue in the name of the United States, with a pa triotic speech. He was loudly cheered as were the member* of his cabinet, and the French guests praencularly the great artist liartholdi. It is estimated that ovci a million of people were pres cut at the unveiling. Great enthusiasm prevailed. HISTORY OF TIIF, FiTATL'F.—-THE ARTIST. On a pretty Utile island of about thirteen acies extent, situated in New York harbor, is an old fort. In Ike widdlo of this ia the Bartholdi Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World. This stupendous statue is the largest ever erected, beiug 305 feet above tide wa- Heilloe's island, on which it h situ ated, is one of the most accessible as well a oneof the most pleasant breathing spots around New York. The solid granito walls of tho old fort, which are in good condition, balauce well the height of the statuo, and contrast nicely with the beautiful grass and shade-lrccs with which the island is covered. 1 his statue, which is now attracting the eyes of the world, is a gift of the Prensh people to America. A party of French gentlemen having made up their minds that it would be a good thing to get up a costly gift to be paid for by small subscriptions of the masses, engaged Auguste liartholdi, a young nnd promising sculptor, to carry out their idet; sent him to America to cooler with a oommit'«e here as to what the most acceptable form of the good will of Franco to America would be. On his arrival he wa atruck wilh the beauty of New York's harbor, and see ing liedloo's island conceived tho idea of an immense statue, which should be muck larger than anything yet heard of. As liberty had its birth in this country, it seemed right that tho statuo should represent "Liberty Enlightening the World. "This would bo a lasting ac« knowledgcmeut of France s good will, and at the same time light up tho harbor at night and be a great benefit. After he arrived at homo the plan was put into execution, tho money rais ed and work commenced on tho stasue, tho a eight of which is 440,000 pounds, of which 176,000 arc copper and the remaicdar wrought iron. The height of tho statuo is 151 feet and that of the pedestal 150 feet. Iha oost of making it was $40,000, whioh does not iunludc making models, &c, bit simply the manufacture of the statue. The pedes tal, which was built by American sub goriptions and an appropriation of Con gress for putting up the alatuo, has oost $250,000. The pedostal will contain elevators to eonvey sight-secrs up and down, and the lookout on the torch may be reach ed by stairs through tho Btatue. To give some idea of the size of ibi» enor mou( undertaking, we state that twelve persons can stand on the torch at one -in,©, from which a magnificent view can be obtained. The wnltb of (be eye is *2i inches, and the length o> the nose 3 feet i) inches, and the fore linger ii 7 feet 11 inches long. The statuo will bo lighted by electric lights in and around it. The electric lights in the torch will be so arrtngod that the flames will not be seen, but a strong reflector placed under the lights will throw powerful rays of light sky ward that may be seen far out Ft sea. Another series ot siuiiltr lights will be placed HI the torch with another reflec tor that will thtow the rays of light in the face of the statue. Electric lights will also be arranged at each of the four corners at the top of the pedestal. The elT.'ct of the combination of these lights will be to illuuiinnt:- the statue at so that it will loom up grandly in the surrounding darkness. To protect the statuo from lightning 4 rods will be bunched at Iho top of tho torch, which after passing down through the interior of the statue, will be sopar'rlod aud one of tbo rods will pass down at each corn er of the pedestal whore openings Laye been left for thcin, and so dowu through the ground until water is reached. It is believed that with these rods the st«t ne is perfectly protected from destruc tion by lightning In the coarse of erection it wa» struck a number of times without damage, thus proving that there neod be no apprehension on this score. A TERRIBLE' JUMP. LAWRENCE DONVAN LEAPS PROM THE NIAGARA SUSPENSION BRIDUE. NIAUARA FALLS, Nov. 7.—Law rence Donovan, of New York, who some time ago jumpn 1 from the Brooklyn bridge into East river, jumped from the new suspension bridge, a little past the contre, at five minutes before 7 o'clock this morning. lie came from Huffalo last night and stayed at Suspension bridge. His jump was witnessed by four or five persons, lie was accompan ied by Prof. Haley and Mr. Drew, a reporter, of Buffalo, lie made the jump successfully, a distance of 190 feet. Ho went straight down, feet first. He came up somewhat dazed, but struck out for the boat, in which were Messrs. Dew and Haley , was taken in, and stim ulants were given him. He is not seri ously injured. One rib is probably broken and his hip is bruised. He said before he got out of the water that ho would not jump again for a million. Afterwards he said he would jump next summer for SI,OOO. In an interview regarding tho feat he says : "They say the bridgo is 196 feet high, and after they took me out of the water I found out that the water is low er now than it ever was, aud tho dis tance from the bridge must bo '215 feet. It was a terrible jump and I would not make it again for the whole United States. We drove on tho bridgo about quarter to seven o'clock, I guess it was. \\ e had to wake up tho man at the gate and get him to unlock it fur us, and I was afraid he would be suspicious aud j slop us W hen wo g»t to the place that I picked out for Sunday we stop ped the horse and got out. It was on the Canada end ot tho bridge, but pret ty near the middle of the rivor. I took off a rubber coat I had on and then I was all ready. I had on my jumping suit, the same I jumped frnin the Brook lyn bridge in. My pants were tied tight arouud my legs with twine to keep tho water from getting in ; and I had my coat unbuttonod, so that if it both ered mo in the wa'er I oould get out of it easily. I'm sorry for that now, for if the ooat had not spread out in the air as I was going dowu I would have struck the water square and wouldn't have brokon my rib. Prof Haley says it wanted three miuutes to 7 o'clock when I jumped. Ho had his watch in one hand and a pistol in the other when I climbed upou the rail and balanced my self with ono hand. I was facing the rapids. All tho bridge guy ropes aro on the other side, aud I didn't want to g('. ranglcd up in them. I couldn't see tho boat from where I was, and when Mr. Haley asked me if I was all ready, I said, Is the bote there 1' 'She's there, all right,' said he, and I told him to lot her go.' He firod tho pistol and I stood up straight, and jumped a little forward and down. How did I feel > Well, it's hard to tell. 1 closed my eyes whon 1 jumped, but 1 opened them right away again but 1 didn't seem to see anything. My elbows were close to my sides, and 1 kept my feet together. Yv hen I struck the water it a«euiod as thrugh 1 would burst to pieces Tho shock was toirible, aud 1 kopt right on gofug down till it seemed as if I'd never stop When 1 came to the surface 1 , itruok out with my arms and legs, but : 1 was dated and I don't know which way I swam. The current kopt carry ing mo dowu, but the boat got to me pretty HOOD Af *oon ai they pulled I me in I spit up a lot of blood, and then 1 fainted dead away." Doctors Clark and Palmer, who ex amined Donovan on his arrival in Buff- B!O, found liiui suffering from oonside a ble ex' Moment, several bruise* and an al rasing on each of his elbows, made when ho struck tho water. The fourth rib on the leh side was found to be separated from tho brcat bone and was at once bandaged. Roth physicians express the opinion that the jumper will be around in a couple of days, and that his escape from more serious injuries is a very lucky one. THE WOREM'TOTE." Tho word "toto'' is in the dictionary, it is true, but it was driven in with a inaul and wedge. It is a relic of slavery and human degradation, coarse and vul gar.— Sacramento Record-Union. The ignoramus who wrote that ought to show his ears above his cap and bells. We have in those columns shown that "tote'' is a good old Euglish word, and is used by the 'father of English poe tiy," Chaueer, more than one in "Can bury Tales," and exactly as it is used in the South Noah Webster was as ig. norant of the history of the word as the fellow who wrote the above stupid aud malignant paragraph."—Wiluiingtou 1 Star. We must be permitted to differ from tho opinion of our most worthy contem porary as above expressed. If wrong we will cheerfully submit. The woid tote in the sense of to carry or bear , does uot occur in Chaucer rr any English writer known to us. There is, however, au old Euglish word tote or totin to look, gaze, from the Anglo Sax on tot ion, found in Wycliffe's I lcrs \ Ploughman's Crede," Gower's Confes sio Amautis, and other writers. The I family name '«Tothill" or "Tuthill," has the word in its prefix, and means a hill of observation, watch bill. In the same way wo have the word share (Anglo Saxon) to cut in the family name Shars wood which means a wood-cuttor. We indline to the opinion that our colhquitl word tote to curry is of Afri can origtn. BEE CULTURE IN WESTERN CAROLINA. Nowhere on this Continent is there such a field for bee culture as these mountains of western North Carolina. The woods abound in the chosen food of the bee. In their season come the blos soms of the forest tree in well regulated succession—the poplar, the maple, the linden,the sour wood all providing abuu dance of food,and each giving a different ; and characteristic result. To these are ! added the thousands of wild flowers, or 1 fragrant plants and herbs as rich in their profusion as were ever spread before the searcher after sweets. Then man in the process of his agricultural labors spreads out his tarpcted table for his busy work ers, his clover and bis buckwheat, the blossoms of his grasses and Ir.s grains, and the ripening product of his orchards; and from the opening of spring till tbe closing of autumn the work of gathering and accumulation goes on.—From Christian Reid's Land of the Sky. PERSONALS. The Wilmington Star says, -'George W. Cinlds is mentioned as a probable Labor candidate for Mayor of Philadel phia," We have some personal ac quaintance with Mr. Childs, and doubt if he would consent to taking a front scat in such company.

PARIS, NOV. 10.—A statement by tho Marquis of Salisbury at tho Lord Mayor's banquet in London iast nnjht, that England meant to remain in Egypt until hci work in that country was com pleted, has made a profouud impression in Krcuch pjlitieal and financial circles. The JVutionnl, Fraict and other papers say that they consider that the speech settles all question ot evacuation and shows that England's determination is to make the occupation uf Kgypt indefi nite and protracted. TIRNOVA, NOV. 10. Tbo session of tho Sobranje to elect a successor to Prince Alexander was held this morning and was uot deferrod until tomorrow as wad expected. M. Radoslvof, prime ministrr, proposed tho name of Prince Waldeniar. The whole assembly rose in a body aud elected Waldeniar by ac clamation. Tbo public in tbo gallaries did not participate in the enthusiasm manifested l>y the deputies, and exhib ited noopproval of the election. TIRNOVA, Nov. 11 Prince Walde niar has sent a telegram to tho regents oxptcssing his grateful sense of the honor couferrcd upon hiin by the So branju in electing him prince of Bulgar ia. He states, however, that the decision as to his acceptance rests with bis father, the King of Denmark and adds that oth er duties may preyent his assuming the rularship of Bulgaria. The Prince's reply is considered a presage of his re fusal of the throne. PESTH, NOV. 11.—After the elec tion of Prince Waldeniar to the Bul garian throne yesterday, the Austrian and German ambassadors at St Peters burg were instructed by their govern ments to inquire of Russia the name of tho candidate she favored as Prince Alexandci's successor. If Russia re fuses to accept the election of Prince Waldeniar or to nominate another can didate, it will be considered that she entertains designs against Bulgaria's independency and in this event Eng land, Germany, Austria and Italy will arrive at an understanding similar to tho one that existed among them at tbe per iod of the Berlin congress.

A town has beeu tobbed for a long time but the friends of good order must not be trusted to supptess it, b it it must be left to "the friends of the robbers." Do you see?—Wilmington Star. A dispatch from Chicago to the New York Slar says: "It is claimod that Baker's campaign cost $65,000, one-third of which was douated by Pittsburg prosectionists. As a rule the farmers and merchants sup ported Col. Morrisjn, but tho laboring element not talked into tho Baker ranks were purchased outright. Many of the miners at O' Fallon who manifested a desire to remain away from tbo polls were given their cottages rent free for the wintor on condition of supporting Baker." Itisaourious fact that while the Democratic majority in the llouso of Representatives was reduced by tho election of last week, the Republican majority in the Senate will also be re duced by the Legislatures then chosen With samodoubt as to Indiana and New Jersey, tbe Senate, after March 3rd, will probably consist of thirty-nine Re publicans and thirty-seven Licmoorats. With tho Executive Democratic this is apretty close margin for the manoeuvring for position that will tako up a good deal of tho time of the Senate in the long sorsion of 1887-B.—New York Times, Rep.
