THE BAKTHOLDI STATm Sl OK Y W nOlV UIK I OK OB Iti- How(ihe Work ws Begun and Carritd OutDescription ot the Siatne. : New York World. - : Bartholdi's colossal statue of "Lib-' erty Enlightening the World" is to he regarded not as a mere personal gift or the outcome of individual impulse, but a popular token ot, the unbroken friendship of the French nation - for the United States, during the latter'a first century ot existence, and an earnest of the continuance of - the same friendly relations in the future between the two great republics of the old and the new worlds. France is the -only nation to which the lTnite4 States' owes a distinct debt of. gratitude Louis XVTL - was the '. first' monarch who had 'the-mofal courage' to step out ot the ranks or his royal order, and recognize America as an independent State. Of the influences tnat carried on tne revolutionary war, to success, the trench alliance was a large and : ' decisive element. The troops furnished shy France, during: the revolutionary struggle amounted, to over thirteen thousand. The ves sels furnished by the same govern ment for the naval service of the young republic are set down as forty five ships of the line, besides frigates But money vwas even more necessary than-men or vessels at certain periods of the contest, - and when the ex chequer of Congress was empty. and the paper issues had ceased to repres sent any positive value, loans were advanced by the French government amounting to .over .seven millions of dollars. Nor -was this all, for we find another account of X three ;' ships, despatched from France to this coun try, laden with , military stores, in cluding ?00 pieces of artillery, 4,000 tents and nothing for 30,000 men. "Add to this the moral effect of the French ailianee on the struggling Americans and on the European des potisms, the diversion the war of K ranee wicn jiingianu creaieu in - our favor, and we ean realraa the decisive influence exercised by France in the establishment of our national inde pendence, "--.-i v I - " . ORIGIN OP THE IDEA. . : ' . It was to commemorate the friend ship of the American and French peo: pie that tne great statue.-wag uuuer taken. M. Bartholdi relates the cir cumstances of its origin: One even ing, twenty years ago, he was dining at the residence of . M. Laboulaye, whose lifelong friendship - for the United States and whose influence in preventing Napoleon III. from inter fering m .our affairs during the late civd war :are well known.- It was a gathering of men eminent in politics and letters, and the conversation havinar turned on internatiOnaTrela-. Jions. some one remained that grati tude could not! exist among nations, and added that France, tor example, could not count on the remembrance of the past to retain the friendship of the United States. Laboulaye argued that the American nation had more sympathy fori Franca thar tor any other European nation, based upon tlifl remembrance ot the community of thoughts and of struggles sustained with common aspirations. There was, in the struggle f Or American in dependence, not asimpie service ren--rlprtni to a friehdlv nation, but a fra ternity of feelings," a community of efforts and emotions;and when hearts have beaten together; friendly feeling always remains among nations as among individuals. - The political ae tion of the government .of Jb ranee, and even the treaty of s Versailles, mio-ht nnt be nonularlV: known in America, but Lafavette was. and if a monument were to be built in Ameri ca as a memorial of their indepen he should think it verv natural if it were built by united effort if it were a common work of , both ; na -tions. - v'-'1''- i '""- "-' ' -1:. These remarks of M. Laboulaye were eaererlv listened to by M Uar- tholdi. an'J - remained fixed in hi memorv. Five years passed by : the FrancosGerman war came.' and Bar tholdi was in the Army of the East, While superintending the reception of some arms and munitions just ar , rivH from America: he savs he neara with pain the officers of the vessel acflftk. of the demonstrations in the United States in favor of Germany, but ho was told that these .rejoicings nf fterman-Americans were an -ex- nr4fiion in favor of a united Ger manv rather than - an exhibition of hostility towards France. ' BAETHOLDf 'g 57SIT TO AMERICA. ' Th War over; Bartholdi could not ri to his native province of Alsaee, hold bv the Germans. Paris was in t.hft hands of the Commune and civil war was raging. He resolved to take a journey to withdraw bis mind from the " painful impressions through which he had passed, and the idea came to him to visit America. He viaiteA his friend Laboulaye, whom he had not seen for so many dolorous months, at Versailles, and there met a number of distinguished men whose sympathies towards the United States were well known. They again talked of American sentiments, of the ship ments the' Americans had made to ffmnr ond the diverse opinions that -prevailed in America.-. Laboulaye oo-ain-reared his views, and added that without any: doubt there ijvould ha ot. tho one hundredth- anniversary of the independence of the United States a public demonstration of af faotinn for France. "Go. to see that mmtrir". Raid he to Bartholdi. "You will study it ; you will brings back your impressions: - -rupuo . w m friends over there to make with us a monument, a common . work, in re mpmhranfifl of, the ancient menusDiu Af Fmn and the United Stateg, We tnkfi un a subscription in x ranee. If vou find a happy idea, -apian that ufill Tf.it.ft public enthusiasm, we are convinced that it will be successful in hnt.h rntries. and we will do a work that Willi have, a tar-reacmng morai effect. n " ''' ' ' yi . --" ,. it was in these" convictions of M Laboulaye that the germ of the mon ument of the French-American Union was formed. Bartholdi . started tor America," and on the way formed some conceptions of a plan of a mon ument. But it was - not until he en; tered the magnificent harbor of New York that the definite- plan was made clear to the mind of the artist. The superb spectacle inspired him, and he exclaimed to himself "Yes, in this very place shaH be raised the Statueof Liberty- grand as the idea which it embodies, radiant upon the two worlds." ' - M. Bartholdi made a five months artistic tour through the United States; from the East to the West and from the North to the South, painting and designing and finding acquaint ances everywhere. He met Long fellow, Sumner, Grant, Peter Cooper and a number of other notable men in every-sphene of -life, and received everywhere -such encouragement that be returned home assured ;''thaf when thev should beerin. the .carrying out of the idea in France the United States-would-second them, and that the draft drawn by , Messrs Labou laye, Lafayette, ' Henri - Martin: and their friends upon? American sentt meats should not be protested." .' THE MBETINGf AT M.' LABOULAYK'S.: a Oa his return M. Laboulaye called a meeting ;of his friends "at his house, Bartholdi imparted the results of his journey, v his : impressions tne wei come he had received, the co-laborers on whom he could count, and present , ed the plan of the monument he had made. menn juamn, . wnose piacw has ieeeotlr, been filled in the French. Academy by De Lesseps. speaking.Of this meattfi in j an omcial address, It was .needful for us to discover a thought in s haannony i with the object to be attained- r B.he artist ; presented it to us in a'forna that bore the stamp of genius. He bad conceived the celebration; of the anjtiiyersary - of in- qependence, applying so u . a suoiune ph rase which sums up the progress of modern'terms: -"Liberty Enlightening the - World. : M Bartholdi proposed to represeh ' this great idea , by. a statue of colossal proportions Which woul 1 Burp ass all - that have ev,er ess isted since tihe most ancient times. We adopted this plan with enthusi asm. , , A "committee was organised, s Artists, . pupae -: men, consuiurea! m. 1 -1 T - i i.1 bodies, general councils municipal councils and chambers of commerce associated themselveslin the enters i prise, and the movement which "had. started from the so modest and origin became a genuine; national ' demon" stration.";. --- v.v A;-- ' . - The plan of the French-American TJnion, the society which has under taken the carrying out of the colos sal statue of. Liberty, was not lau&en ed upon the public until 1874. 'sp to that time it had been organized the means had 'been prepared and the I nrst models ot , the statue had been h made. - Subscription lists were circu lated throughout Erance, bearing at the head the following, prepared, by Mr. Laboulaye:.." The monument will be executed in common by the two peoples asso ciated in this fraternal work, as they were of old in establishing lndepend ence. In tms way we declare by an imperishable memorial the friendship that the blood spuied by our fathers of our old i sealed between the two nations It is a treaty , of friendship which should be signed -by all hearts which feel the love of their country." This appeal met with aready re sponse. The birth of the work was celebrated on , Nov. 6, 1875 in the i Hotel of the Louvre,' by a banquet ! which was attended by illustrious j representatives ; of . the art, lett ers, press - and politics .from ; both America and France. : Min isters, deputies, municipal coun seilors, generals, -, savants, academic . cians, ; and authors . of alt shades of opini ins and politics assembled to as sure the success of the project. . - To give at that time in America an idea of the magnitude of the work the right hand of the statue was executed in its colossal proportions and sent to the Exposition at tr hiladelphia. uar tholdi at that period returnedto the United States as a member ot tne French jury to the Centennial Expo Sition, jeing aumunzeu . m hib buuuo time by the Frencn: government to superintend the inauguration of the statue of.

THE RESPONSE FROM AMERICA.'-" -' The preparatory meeting was or ganized at the Century Club. New York, upon, the eall of W. M. Evarts, S D. : Babcock, . John Jay, W H. Wickham, William H. Appleton and Kichard Butler Secretary- At that meeting a committee was . organized and a ; memorial addressed to : the United Statesgovernment asking ap- proval for. what had been done con-, cerning the ite of the monumeut. Congress on the 23d of February, 1877, voted m favor oi accepung tne gift of France and setting apart Bedv loe's Island for the site In terms most flattering to the work and to the French nation. ' : ' - - - - '- The head of the statue was exe cuted for' the Paris Exposition of 1878. The following year all the funds nec essary for the execution of the statue had been obtained, un uctooer z. 188L the niversary of the battle of Yorktownt all the pieces of the frame work and of the base wero put- in place Minister Morton drove the rivet of the first piece that was to be mounted. " - The statue was nearly finished in 1883 and it was for some time left ex posed to view m Pans. On June 11, 18S4.- lrime Minister u erry. at a great dinner giyen bf Minister Morton to committee on the French-American Union and to the Ministers of the French government; declared that he wished the government, to associate itself in the undertaking and an nounced" that the statue ., would be transported to New York on a State vessel under : the -official banner of France; The official, presentation of statue to the Minister ot the united States took place July . 4, 1884. The Tiresentation was made.by Count de Lesseps," ' president ; of the French" American Union, who ' succeeded M. Lahoulave. lately deceased, s M. de Lessens said he was, handing over to the United States this great artistic monument, the gift of : France, to which have contributed by their votes 180 cities, forty general coun cils, a large number ot chambers of Rommerce and of societies, and over a hundred thousand subscribers. He 'concluded bv saving: " . "This work. Mr. Minister, is the hroduct of enthusiasm, of devotion. nf intelligence, and of the noblest sentiments which can animate man, it is eraat m its conceptions and its ligation. It is colossal in its pro portions, and we hope that ; it will otow still greater through its moral worth, thanks to the remembrances and'tbe sentiments which it is to per? petuate. We commit it to your care, Mr. Minister, that it may remain forever the pledge of the bonds which should unite France , and the great American nation. , . THE STATUE. The statue of Liberty Enlightening t.ha World is the largest work of its kind that has ever been executed Thn famous Colossus of Bhodes, ac cording to the proportions which the legends attribute to it,' was but a miniature in comparison Other e-rnat statues are also in comparison quite small -Thus the Bavaria, at Munich, measures 15 . metres, 70 centimetres; the Virgin of Puy, 16 metres ; St. Charles Borromeo, 22 metres. The Vendome Column in Paf-iala onlr 44 metres in height, and Lihertv Enlightening - the 'World . - . - , , measures 46 metres from J the base to the top of the. torch, or.. 305.11 feet above mean low : water-mark. An idea of its size may be formed from the following-figures: The forefinger iS;2 45 metres in length and 1.44 metres in circumference at the second joint. - The nail measures .35 metre by .26 metre: The head is 4.40 me tres in height." The eye is .65 metre in, width. The nose is 1.12 metres in length. (A ;; metre - equals - 39.368 inches.) - About forty persons can be accommodated - in c the head. . It is possible to ascend in the torch above .the hanl. It will easily hold twelve (Persons..: The total weight is 200,000 kilos, and the : entire work " represents- an outlay of more than a mil- Hon francs. - . S The statue is made bf resfpousge, or sheets of beaten copper, fixed oa a pylonic yon truss work. This truss work serve as a evppojrt for the cop per form of the statue sCpe copper plates kept in -shape by iron bands, .are supported by .iron braces, which !are clamped to the central core. iThey do not ibear in the least Jipon the lower plates and their weight is ralways independent . of all that is above, and below. Exhaustive maths ematical 'calculations : were made upon the resisting power of the iron pieces,- upon the centre of gravity, and upon the action of high winds. The calculations - were made by tak ing as a base the most powerful hur iTfieanes which have ever been reeord ,e fa America or Europe. - The cop per sheets are 2i i millimetres f in tb.wkness. The" copper plating of the statue f St. . Charles. Borromeo- is only one millimetre, and it has stood twbeenturies. . ' ' The total height of the first model was 1.25 metres. . This was the study model, v Thia statue was reproduced four times as-largerthe resul5 meas uring 11 metres in height. This statue was divided into a Targe nums ber of sections, destined to be repro duced separately : four times their Bize.H After this enlargements repro ductions were no longer possible. Phe rest . was accomplished in enor- blqwi - iragments executed m wooa aad. ter. s .This f process' necessi- tatedTajumber of difficult measurements-$.QQQ in all, The profile of the f onus vw.ee again taken in detail with sheets.of ilead pressed upon tne model and the .copper again worked according to therqIes. There were 300. sheets of copper.used,1 each from one to three yards square, ,&u weign ing in all eighty-eight : tons, ;,-These form the outside of thestafue, - . Miss larryat'S Mischief. " New York Times, - . Without presuming to find- fault with Mis Florence Marry at, it may be suggested : that she ought to .explain the meaning or her Decent advice . to the women to. . sit down on the men. " It cannot be that Miss Marryat in tended this advice ,to apply to : un married ls; Certainly jgirls resid ing ua the rural districts need no such advice. -1, They know what the duties of courtship are, as the strained and broken parlor chairs testify. As to city girls, it ia understood that-j they uphold the doctrine that every girl should have, her - own ; chair,; ' Not that they presume to find fault with rural customs, but they have their own views of duty, and no- matter now much miss Marry at may urge them to sit down on the men, they will decline to follow her advice. . Neither do. married ladies need to be told their duty, by; Miss Marry at. If a married woman " wants a new bonnet and can obtain it more quick ly by sitting on; her husband's lap than she could were she more sparing of affectionate familiarities she knows the fact perfectly well without ' Miss Marryats assistance. . Uan it be. then that Miss Marry at looks at the matter solely from the point of view of the solid British mat ron, and fancies that she has discov ered a way by which , heavy- women may crush their husbands and keep them in subjection? - It is quite , pos sible that a wife weighing 250 pounds could terrify a frail husband into al most any concession by threatening to sit down on him, but surely such conduct would not be kind It is better that wives and husbands should live peaceably together ; than that the husbaud should live in ters ror lest his wife should sit down on him.' Miss Marrvat may mean well. but her advice is needless if address ed to unmarried girls, and pernicious if addressed to married women. ' When Tried Always Preferred.
