a great inastcrpienq
of Italian art—the
new statue of Chris

As onu of the
party of Americans

privilege to see this work a* it is being
developed in the studio of Andrcont
hero iif Koine, writes a correspondent of

Tho shops into wldoh we wjjre shown
by a courteous attendant wore busy and
extremely interesting places, whore work
could bo seon in every stage of progress,
from the rough block of marble to the
finished statue. Above all oho towered
the colossal figure of Columbus, twenty
feet l)igh, surrounded by a largo plat
form, where the men, with hammer mid
chisel, were busily ut work. A small
window in the roof overhead admitted
tbe daylight, and a powerful lamp hung
from the rafters, ready for use when
necessary as did a curtain or screen of
rough burlaps,
in artistic lines,
oord wlthT
‘flw hold tih’
the period, the richly embroidered dou
blet or WRlstfioat thrown back, revealing
a kilt that falls in easy folds from a
bodice drawn tightly over the broa^
chest beneath. Not only the attitude
of the figure, but the expression of the
face, is commanding, and as you look
upon the clearly cut features you seem
to feol instinctly the preseoco of tho
man of genius nud power, which the ar
tist lias forolbly portrayed.
Close at hand stood the plaster cost
which was usod ns a working model for
the reproduction, covorod with tho regu
lar, tiny marks necessary in making
ineniuraments. Tho copying from tho
model, whether tho reproductiou shall
be of n corresponding Bine or in to lio en
larged or reduced, is all iloue by exact
mathematical calculations.
As we followed our guido about tho
shops wo booh discovered that tho real
manual labor was chiefly given ovor to
the sklllod workman. These employes
not uufrequently spend n lifetime ill one
studio, aad become by tlioir faithfulness
and dexterity almost indispensable to
tbe artist, for his part of the work is
practioally douo when the clay model is
finished.
All tho fluer grades of work ami the
larger pieces of statuary must of neces
sity be made from the Carrara marble,
ns the softer nud mere easily worked
qualities arc found in very thin strata
but a few feet thick and suitable only
for small pieces which may bo quickly
and cheaply dono.
In another part of tho building wo
found a second group of men gathered
about the figure of Genius, which will
be placed ou the front of the pedostai
It is a little nrr seventeen feet high amt
is represented as u winged ingel bending
over tho globe, which it is intently
studying while held beneath the opeu
band.
On the sides of the base, between tho
massive posts which form the comers
Mill be found the inscriptions, and,
though they may not read the same,
their import wilt he very similar to tho
old couplet which we used to sing in the
school days of long ago, saying that—
In fourteen hundred auct umety-two
Columeus sailed the ocean blue.
On the I rent and back of tbe base the
corresponding spaces will be tilled with
iwu magnificent allegorical pictures in
Dase-renei representing tne departure
from Spain and the landing in America
by Columbus. The latter one is particu
larly impressive, and the story is most
graphically told by the strongly drawn
group, of which he is the principal figure,
standing in uu attitude of prayer up
on the soil of the New World he lias
just discovered. To tbe left arc his sail,
urs drawing tho keel nf a boat upon the
rand, aad on tbe right the tudians peep
cautiously out from a thicket of maize at
the strange creatures whom they mistake
for the messengers of the Great Spirit.
The beautiful shaft is of great height,
tbe severity of outline being broken by
alternating lines of figures in relief of the
prow or rostra of a ship, and medallions
composed of an anchor and a ( coil of
rope.
When completed the monument will
bo 121 feel high, Including tbe four great
blocks or steps which form the founda
tion, and, aside from the historical inter
est It may have as a work of art alone,
Its posses-ion might well bo envie I by
suy city or nation.
This great work was designed by l*ro-
lessor Gaetano llusso, who was bora in
Cateniu, Sicily, flfty-seven years ago.
Craving opportunities for study and im
provement, ho made his wuy to Rome
when a mere lad but ten years old. In
this great art centre his genius developed
early, nud his later years have been tilled
with success.
Wc found him pleasautand courteous,
though he is said by friends who know
him well to have it variable and exceed
ingly nervous temperameot, u character
istic which often accompanies the gift of
genius. It was also whispered that he
entertains mi almost morbid aversiou to
personal notoriety. We that as it may,
this late grand cunt qition of bis Cannot
fail to bring him naw laurels at home,
and win a greater fame for his distin
guished name across the seas.
Governor’s island, in the Ray of New
York, wns first proposed as being an
eligible site for the statue, but wo have
been informed try n most reliable author
ity that because of its greater accessibil
ity Jlatierv Park will be chosen instesd.
A more fitting spot could not bu chosen,
for there the daring navigator may over
look l he vast commerce of the New
World ns it passes daily at bis fcot. We
canalitiost fauoy him unbending from

torch whioh she holds aloft, Nor could
anything be more appropriate than that

Costly Statues.
The famous Colossus of Rhodes, which
has been described so often that the sub
ject is hooomlng threadbare, costs 300
talents, or about $.'175,000 in United
States currency. Hut the above is a
trifle compared to tho price paid for a
colossal statue of Mercury, made for the
city of Avcrni, in Gaul, by Eenodorut.
The artist was engaged on this great
work for Ion years, aud the total cost to
the city was $1,775,000. What the gold
pud Ivory statues of Athena, lit tho Par
thenon, or th.' E "Us at Olympia, both of
Which were made by Phidias, cost, is
not stated by any auoieut or modern
author. Athena was arrayed in a mov
able drapery of pure, unalloyed gold,
whioh weighed forty talents. Tho coin
value of the drapery alouc, according to
tho above figures, would bo $580.1)00.
ino l.ean ot tne Olympian fteus was
covered with locks of pure gold, each
weighing six mime, or about the value
of $25,000 in United States money.—

A Remarkable Hide.
Six officers ot the Hessiau Dragoon
Guards, headed by Captain Winsloe,
Siartcd ou a long distance Inst Thursday.
Their object wns to ride six hundred kil
ometres (about three hundred and sev
enty-three miles) on the same horses in
(ix days. Their destination is the H»
variuu Chateau of Mundizol, beyond the
Danube, and the result is looked forward
lo with keen interet, as a considerable
part qf the way is mountainous, and tho
(lent during two or threo days was quite
tropical. .Several of Captain Winsloe's
brothers tiro oava'ry officers in the Qer-

Turning nn Oltl Coffee Xlli Into a
Work Box.
A clever girl has found an ingenioue
use for an old codec mill whose grind
ing days are over and has converted it
into a particularly good work box, which
is as ornamental as It is useful. With a
Sharp chisel and gauge she carved a
simple patteru in flat relief on the four'
(ides, the top and the drawer. These
she sandpapered perfectly smooth and
polished with beeswax. In the inside of
the box she put a gathered silk lining,
tnd around tho handle made two pin
cushions, one oil the lid of the box and
the other at the extreme end. The
drawer wns neatly mind papered and
polished, and served as a receptacle for
jpools ol thread.—Now York Tribune.
A Talking Hocking Itlril.
Mrs. H. 11. Marshall, of tho Millndge-
vllle Hotel, has the most remarkable
mocking bird in Georgia, or any other
jltate, ns to that matter. She lias a par
rot of first rate garrulity, and it is duo to
this fact that tbe bird has won such dis
tinguished accomplishments. The two
fire kept in separate cages near each
other, and when tho bird had learned to
mimic the music of every other kind of
bird it caught the speech of tho parrot,
and can now talk much plainer and with
a wider vocabulary than the parrot it
self. It can whistle almost any tune it
liears, while a few strains of “Comrades”
(eem to he its favorite.
Thera is nn old colored preacher in
tlie city who usually stops in front of the
hotel and offers a prayer for tho host
and hostess. Mrs. Marshall generally
gives him a lunch for his spiritual inter
est, and sometimes raps ids sincerity
with an insinuation of unbelief in him.
I)n yesterday, when your correspondent
was standing in the hotel, John came
along and piuning himself to the pave
ment, offered up his usual prayer. As
soon as he said "Amen," the bird broke
out: "Ah, John, you won’t do,” and
followed this up with a "ha, ha, ba,"
that even beats his genial mistress. Tho
bird is tho most remarkable one in ex
istence, and there is no cud to the inter-
est he and Polly furnish during n heated
Conversation.—Atlanta Constitution.
Our rtnt Lighthouse.
The first lighthouse built on this con
tinent was at St. Augustine, Florida.
Its chief use was as a look-out, whence
the Spanish people of the town could see
vessels approaching from Spain, or get
notice of the coming of foes in time to
run away. The tower attracted the at
tention of Friucis Drake as he was sail
ing aloug the coast with his fleet of
high-pooped ships, on iris way home
from pillaging the cities of th* Spanish
Main. So he stopped long enough to
loot the town and destroy what he could
not take away. In 1380 the ancient
structure of Coquina rock, which the
(Jutted States had adopted for a light
house, fell down, but before that hap
pened another one had been constructed.
Fire-towers at theeutrance to ports were
established in the earliest historic times,
lioufires were built ou top of them at
night. The most famous lighthouse of
antiquity stood on the island of Pharos,
off the city of Alexandria, in Egypt. It
was one of the seveu wonders of the
world, and was put up during the reign
of Ptolemy Phitadelphus. After stand
ing for 1600 years it was destroyed by an
earthquake. It is understood to nave
beau over 500 feet high,—!}.».on Cq|y.

Why Grunt Ordered Corned Deer.
After General Grant had returned from
ltis trip around the world, be was being
banqueted by the City of Chicago. The
table was covered with all the delicacies
of the season, but General Grant seemed
Distraught. Presently he arose and
flipped behind a screen to where the
carver was at work.
"For goodness sake,” said the General,
"cannot you bring me a big plate of
corned beef and cabbage? I am tired’of
all these kickshaws and long for a bite
of good old corned beef and cabbage.”
Needless to say, the General’s request
was complied with.—New York Jour

The Csar an« Disciplinarian.
A story Illustrating the rigid discip
line of the Russian army, in which the
emperor playod a loading part, is told
by C. Johuston: "One of tho grand
dukes told tho czar Hint a sentinel on
the level crosslug at Petcrhof had re
fused to raise the toll bar for his car
riage, although the train was not due
for threo or four miuutes. “It is against
orders, your imperial highness I I can't do
it, your imperial highness I” the soldier
replied, the rulo being that, once the
toll bar is shut, It must not lie opened
until after the train lias passed. Tlie
czar said ho was very glad to hoar that
the soldiers knew how to obey orders,
ns discipline was the very life of the
army. Tlie grand duke laughed, but
said he was certain that if the czar him
self had been presont discipline would
havo given way before the imperial pres-
cnee.
“The emperor did not reply, but s
few days attcrwf.rd put the mattor to
tho test by drivtug up with the empress
to the level crossing just after the toff
bar was crossed.
"The emperor called the sentinel of
the day to let him pass. The sentinel,
in dire trepidation, saluted, but did not
stir to tho bar. 'Open the bar, 1 tell
youi’ cried the emperor; ‘don’t you know
who I amf’ ‘Yes, your imperial maj
esty I I know your imperial majesty, but
I can’t, your imperial majesty! it’s
against orders, your imperial majesty I'
answered tho sentinel, still saluting, and
turniug almost blue with anxiety but
not moving au inch from his place. ‘I
am the emperor, and I command you to
opeu!’ cried the czar again. ‘Can’t do
it, your imperial majoety,’ despairingly
cried the sentinel, still standing firm,
but too disooncerted to note the smite in
the emperor's eye. Just then the train
passed, the emperor burst into a fit of
Homeric laughter, aud warmly com
mending tho astonished sentry presenced
him with a twenty-five ruble note and
drove back to the oalace."—Ohicagi

Editor National Economist: At voui
request of th* 10th I write you. The
next annual session of tlie North Carolina
Farmers State Aliianco will be held iu
Greensboro, N, O , on the second Tuts,
day in August, which Is tho Bill day of
the month. It is to be one of the most
important session that this body 1ms ever
held ou account of the political situa
tion of the country. No tuter, better
Alliance meu live iu the United States
than tlie members of the North Carolina
Farntera Alliance. Hut thousands of em
people ore so poor they ere not able to
pay theirdues, have not a dollar of money
to pay for anything, but are under the
"mill reeks” of oppression, caused by our
present financial policy. At a conference
of delegates from each county Alliance
on May 17 in tills city, ninety one conn'-
tine indorsed tlie St. Louis conference
platform, four iudorsed the Ocala de
mauds, and one not represented in this
eonforcucc. Au official report is being
made now by tho sub Alliances upon the
platform.
North Carolina Mauds solidly at the
front on these demands, it is one time
in the history of this reentry that the
political boss cannot control the voters.
Every Aliianco man is au independent
thinker, and not only a thinker but a
talker aud a worker; ami the rural popu
lation, whether members of the Order or
not, are being educated on those same
lines, ami are generally standing shoul
der lo shoulder with tho brethren. The
office seeker cannot straddle the fence in
this campaign.
Never havo I seen so much gloom over

The thermometer was only ten degrees
above zero, and the sleet aud raiu wer«
blinding. After dragging their boats
and apparatus through woods and over
steep hills, they found themselves on a
bluff opposite tuo vessel, which lay half
a mile from shore, too far to bo reached
by a shot-line. Nevertheless, they low
ered the boat with ropes into tho sea,
lauuchei her against desperate chances,
made three trips and saved all ot tho

•—or you havo $500 in cash.
That’s what is promised you, no:
matter how bad your case or of howj
long standing, by the proprietors of]
Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy.
Catarrh can be cured. Not wii

palliate for a time, or perhaps, drivej
the disease to tlie lungs—but withf
Dr. Sage’s Remedy. j
Tlie worst cases yield to its mild, 1
soothing, cleansing and healing prop- 1
erties. “Cold in the Head,” needa
but a few applications. Catarrhal
Headache, and all the effects of Ca-'
tarrh in the Head — such as offen
sive breath, loss or impairments of
the senses of taste, smell and hear-:
iug, watering or weak eyes—are at*
once relieved and cured. j
In thousands of cases, where ev^
erything else has failed, Dr. Sage’aj
Remedy has produced perfect and!
permanent cures. That gives its*
proprietors faith to make the offer.l
It’s $500, or a cure. They mean!
to pay you, if they can’t euro you.]
But they mean to cure you, and!
they can.
