Between 8 and 9 o'clock all thorough fares showed signs of unusual activity. All trains were ciowded to their utmost capacity wilh people hurrying to advanta geous noints to vie w the gi and procession. Iu the vicinity of Filth avenue and Filty-.'oventh .-treet, the point at whicn the procession wns to form, all was bustle and commotion as eailv as eight o'clock. Civic and military companies nriived faster than they could be assigned to their proper piaces. At a lew minutes past ten o'clock the head of the column began to move down Fifth avenue, led by the Fifth United States Artlllcrv and .Military Band. Then followid the United StatesXaval brigade, Uniietl Males Army brigade. Second reg iment Now Jersey National Guard and a di'tachment of Ma-aciiiisctts volunteer militia. These composed the first divi sion. The second division was loci by Gil niore's famous baud. Then followed the Fiist Brigade, X. G. S. N. Y., acting as escort to the French column.

Behind the Frenchmen came the United Stale Judges and other high officials of tin: United Slates in carriages, and Governors ot Mates and Territoiics and other high dignitaries, also in carriages, who brought up the rear ot the second division. The third division was headed by Sheriff Grant as marshal, and was com prised of mayors of cities; a battalion of Philadelphia police; Brooklyn police: veterans ol the war of 1812; veterans of the .Mexican war, and the military order of the Loyal Legion.

As this brilliant column passed down Fifth avenue it was received by the enor mous crowds, which flanked it ou either tide with mighty cheers As the procession approached the re viewing stand at Madison Square, where President Cleveland and members of Ids Cab net were in waiting, a slight drizzle cf rain bi-gan falling, not enough, how ever, to disturb the crowd or spoil the spectacle. After passing through Martion Square the colnmn moved on down Fifth Avenue to Washington Square, where it turned into Broadway, thence dewu Broadway to the open space behind the post-olllce, iilKIUCA'S COXTMBUTIOX TUB XDES-tXL.

This de tour was more In order to pay a compli ment to the enterprise of the World, in raising the sum necessary for ralslug Bartholdi's great work. From Park Bow the route was again down Broadway to Courtlandt street and Maiden Lane, where most of the mili tary, turning to right or left, made their way to the river. The head of the procession reached the City Hall at noon. At the same time, whenever the iunIc of the bands ceased, the chimes of Trinity Church could be heard playing National airs of France and America. President Cleveland, accompanied by Secretary Bayard, drove to the reviewing stand at Madison square. He was fol lowed by Secretaries Whitney, Vilas and Lamar aud Colonel Lamout. Alter leaving Broadway at Cortlandt street and Maiden Lane, nearly all the military and civic companies made their way homeward. At this hour hoar (1:15 p. m.), the procession is still wending its way past the United Press office, 187 Broadway, having been over an hour in progress. All the vessels in North river are gaily decorated with flags, tho Great Atlantic liners being particularly noticeable as they lay at their docks, one mass ot color aloft. The naval parade, which forms another marked feature of the day, was set for one o'clock. The sound of the prepa tatory gun, which should have been fired at 12:45 p. m., was not heard until one o'clock, and there was considerable delay In getting the vessels which were to take part into line. Twenty minutes later the signal for the start was given, and tho vessels moved slowlv in double line from Forty-fifth street down North river, past a fleet of war vessels, toward Liberty Island. This procession was in charge of Lieutenant-Commander liich, and con sisted of two divisions. The first division was headed by the United Stales coast survey steamer Gciluuy, and consisted of all the larger vesels. The second divi sions consisted of tugs and miscellane ous crall of all descriptions. The ves sels presented a oeautiful sight as thev steamed down the Hudson. On i caching Liberty Island, they passed astern of the lii-m-ul-war anchored below the island then ill) between them and the island, till they came to abreast of the statue head on tide, where they remained at anchor until the end of the cetenionies ac that poiut. asy The crowd in Mad- i y k-A f. were choked :;''' iritS-''' Broadway wt 'lf?m$ ca "''lllvcI" M were choked up and as ciog- ieles and cars above and below the intersection of the line of march.

The cry of "Bartholdi" was then caught np by both the reviewing Mid grand stands. The crowds on tin: avenue cuibings up and down heard the name and passed it to the people in the park and side sticets until the heavy air wns shaken with a i oar of cheering that must have gladdened the heart ol the Alsatian, who bowed his acknowledgments. Ami then, in carriages driven to the rear of the stand, came Mr. Cleveland and his party. Instantly lie was recognized, and again the crowds shook the welkin with their shouts, and from the housetops and win dows of hotels came shouts and sounds of clapping hands to swell Hie sound that like a wave broke over the park and flowed down tbc streets and along the avenue, where, in the misty distance, t lie trappings mid pomp of the head of the column was seen moving. The Signal Service operator at the Twenty-eighth Slnet station made known the fact to tiic throngs by a waving flag, and the pressure Increased toward the avenue and the people became packed more closely if it were possible. On the reviewing stand President Cleveland was pic sented witli three handsome baskets of flowers, the gifts of young ladies in the city.

When Mr. Pain was spoken to in regard to the matter he generously of fered to double whatever sum was raised by the patriotic friends of the statue and give a programme that would folly real ize their expectations.

The displays were begun with the lighting of the great torch for the first tinicl and were given simultaneoualy on Liberty and Govern or's islands, including some sixty sepa rate pyrotechnic pieces. With slight va riations the fireworks were the same on Liberty island and in front of old Castle William, on Governor's Island, and were set off by maroon signals from the statue. The displays were largely aerial and were vis ible from all parts of the harbor, although the best positions were the Battery and Brooklyn Bridge, or from the decksof ex cursion steamers midway between the two islands. The war ships weie anchored about Liberty Island, the French meu-of waron the north and the American squad ron on the south side, GrN.cnAS.r.sTONE.toward Staten Island. The yards and rigging were manned by sailors, and the marines were drawn up on the decks along the bulwarks. Brilliant calcium lights burned irom the extremities of the yards and fore and aft on deck, while the men stationed in the riggingand along the decks were supplied with colored lire. The displays ou the men-of-war took place at intervals. General Schoiicld had given orders for a file of oue hundred soldiers to be drawn tip at intervals of a few yards along the water front lacing the Battery. They . were supplied with toiches Idle colored lights, and a'gJJSr- A- j '-vS a signal from the slat-V''&22v,?0J x tie on Liberty Island fu iy they were all lighted. s i?v The torches were so c.r.s. sciioi'inr.n. arranged that the French colors were given first, followed by the red, white mid blue of the American ensign. This change of national colors was repeated sevcial times and ended with a variegat ed display of colored fires. Alter this the salute given by the Board of Aldermen was fired at the But tery. Tin: sTATcn. The famous statue, by Bartholdi, of "Liberty Enlightening the World" was received at New York, June 211, 1885. The Fiencli vessel Isere, wttli the statue on board, was escorted up the b-iy to Bcdloe's Island by a number of United States men-of-war and other vessels. The statue stands on Bcdloe's Island here after to be known as Liberty Island. At tlie entrance to New York haibor, Bartholdi, it is said, conceived the idea of rearing a colossal statue to symbolize America's message of liberty to the world whiie sailing up Aew lork bay on his vi-it to this country in 1871, with heart depressed at the itiin and wretchedness in his native land after her defeat bv Ger many. On his return to France he sug gested to his friends his idea of such a statue to be presented by the French nation to the United States. The idea was received with great favor, and so rapidly did subscriptions come iu that in 187(1 the sculptor began work upon his great statue. M. Bartholdi supervised every step of the work which was not only a labor of many years, but one lull of di!li culty and detail The first "steps toward its construction were made iu 1874, when the French-American union was establish ed, a banquet given and an appeal made to the people of France. In 1870 the sculptor began actual work. First the artist made his model in clay, and when this was approved a plaster statue was made; in dimensions it was one-sixteenth thesize THE TORCH. of the intended statue. Another plaster statue four times as large as the first, and a third one, of the full dimensions ol the finished work were made. The last modci hnd to be made iu sections, and a wooden frame-work was constructed on which the plaster was spread. When these sections were completed, wooden models were used, exact copies of the plaster In size and modeling. These were carcfnlly cut out by hand, and in them were shaped the hammered brass work which forms the outside of the statue. Eighty-eight tons of brass were used in the structure, and the entire weight of the statue is 450,000 pounds. In 187G M. Bartholdi, with the extended right arm of the statue the first part that was completed came to America and placed the arm and torch iu the Centennial Exhioition at Phila delphia, whence it was subscqnently removed to Madison Square, New York. In February, 1877, Congress set apart Liberty Island lor the statue, and a committee was chosen with William M. Evarts at its head. The face and head of the statue was com pleted in 1878, when it was placed in the FrcuchExposition.andouJuly 7, 1880, the great figure was com pleted in Paris, where it was temporarily put together the fol lowing year in the presence of the Unit ed States Minister and a gathering of prominent French people. This statue is a free gift of re spect and good will from the people of France to those of America. On the tab let Is the inscription. "4tll Of July, 1776." THE TABLET.

A Suggestion Which Should Tio Talked Over in Itiirnl Communities. A cottntry-brcil woman living in a largo city gave lessons in cookinc to half a dozen working girls. She fowntr them ignorant of the simplest detail? of work, because they had never seen it done. If tliey hail grown up in cotintry homes she would have found them al ready familiar with the theory of cook ing and only in need of practice. Washington Gladden belierctl that country boys made the most successful men. so he sent letters to a hundred successful business men in all ranks of city life, asking them where their boy hood had been spent, anil how their time, out of school hours, was used The replies showed that most of them were Irom country homes, where out-of-school duties trained their hands anil gave them habit? of industry. In many large cities there are now schools where little girls can learn to cook, set rt table neatly, saw, darn, mend, sweiip and dust, anil their broth ers arc taught to iho carpenter's tools, and to model in wood such things as houses, fences anil furniture, and &s their lessons advance, to make things of value anil beauty, of suitable sizes for use. The Children's Industrial Ex hibition, held in New York City, showed the work from such schools (and some AVork done out of schools) by children all over the country. Anil there is a stir and a lluttcr of liltle han Is in thc citics as they busy themselves with theses new lessons. Tlie country children al ready know many things these little folks are studying out w:th active lin gers; why can they not be helped to learn still more? Are there not possi bilities for cooking, sewing ami car pentering classes in the country? A class of six or more little girl might meet once a week under the guidance of a grown-up sister, auntie or mother, and cook th; meal they cat together, each one bringing a share of uncooked materials and doing a share of the work, the teacher watching1 ami directing all the work, but doing none. Setting the table and. table manners would enne in for a share of her care. A work-shop for tho boys might be organ V.cd during the sea son when there is the least farm-work, and sonic farmer, handy with tool.9. could greatly benefit the hoys of th neighborhood by giving them Icasoiis in simple work with tiic hammer, saws ami nails. Studying books is good; train ing the hanils to make the study practi cal is bstter. The advantages of such classes would be many; lirst of all. the children would feci that good work is important, and it would become interesting, and, instead of hurt ying through their out-of-sclnvsl duties in the most carolcas way, they would find a pleasure in doing them well. Then, in a class, if only three or four, the sense of companionship anil the efforts made by each one to work as well as the rest would add a charm for the children.

An appeal in a rather pccnliar case has just gone before the Supremo Court of Arkansaw. John Iiogworth, whofor many years lived in the village of Rip ville, Washington County, Ark., camo to Little Rock some time ago and enter ed into business. Recently he went back to his native village, having re placed his slouch hat for a rather high crowned Derby. When the companions of his youth saw him wearing the hat they provided themselves with bean shooters and began to shoot holes through it. Finally, one buck-shot, ranging a trifle too low. plowed a fur row across the top of John's head. Bogworth had the fellow arraigned be fore a justice of the peace. "Is this the hat you wore?" the jus tice asked. "Yes, sir." "And the buck-shot that made this hole is the one that plowed you, ch?" "Yes, j-our honor." Tha justice, after a few moments' re flection, said: "It is the opinion of this court that the plaintiff in this case laid himself liable, and that if he had net pulled his hat down so far. the buck shot would have simply gone through, the hat without hitting him." An appeal to the Circuit Court re sulted in a confirmation of the decision of the court below, and then an appeal to the Supreme Court was token. The final result is awaited with much in terest.
