Tho Now York Tribune thus ro vlowfl tho history of the great work of M. Bartholin which was unveiled ou Thursday of last week in tho Now York hnrhor. Tho history of tho Ilartholdi stntuo from iiri"t to last is a checkered ono and goes back through nil sorts of delays and difficulties lor almost twenty yoaw. It was, strangely enough, just at tho closo of tho disastrous war with Ger many and while tho horrors of tho Commune wcro still raging in Paris that M. Lahoulnye, tho founder of tho French-American Union, first definito ly broached his jutriotio project of building in this country a joint memo rial of the struggles of tho French and Americans in tho Uovolution, and sent tho young sculptor Bartholdi to thu United States to find, if possible, Homo suitablo and happy idea. Tho first suggestion of tho statue, perhaps, dates still further back to a dinner given un der thu Empiro by M. Laboulayo at his country house, "Glavigny, near Ver sailles. St. l.AIIOUt.AYll's IIOI'KS AND I'ANCIKS. It was at that dinner nt Glavigny in 1885, as Bartholdi himself says, that his mind was first turned in tho direc tion it was afterward so devotedly and enthusiastically to follow. The after dinner talk of 31. Iaboulayo's guests had fallen upon gratitudo between na tions. Soma ono said that such a thing as national gratitudo could not exist. Italy no longer felt grateful for tho good officers of France in 1859; even with the Uuiled States Franco could no moro count on tho remembrance of the past. This 31. Laboulayo stoutly protested against. Whatever might bo tho case witli Italy, he said, with America Francohad still a greater sympathy than with any European nation. Amer ica's feeling toward France, too, was not ono of simple gratitudo. It was based on tho lemenibranco of a, com munity of thought and struggles and aspirations. And when hearts had oneo beaten together something always remained behind among nations as among individuals. This, ho contin ued, was tho basis of tho sentiment felt in tho United States toward Frauce,a sentiment honorable to Amer icans as well as French, and if a mon ument weio to bo built in America as a memorial of independence it would bo most natural to havo it built by a united effort, to make it the common work of both nations. Fivo years after, in tho midst of tho war with Germany, Bartholdi found himself recurring again to this con versation. The war was soon over and his uative province, Alsace, shut against liim. Ho resolved to travel for a year and visit the country in which his in terest had been so sharply aroused. In a month or two ho found himself again at 31. Labotilaye's house near Versailles. With him were 31. Lafa yette, Henri 3Iartin, Bomusat, Volow ski and DeGaspariu. Tho talk turned onco more on tho feeling of America for France. 3L Laboulayo took up his old viows agaiu and declared that without a doubt by 1870 there would bo a strong pavdotio and French inovo raent in America. 'Go to seo that country," he said to Bartholdi. "You will study it, and bring back your impressions. Pro pose to our friends over there to tuako a monument in commcn in remem brance of tho ancient friendship be tween France and tho United Slates. Wo will take up a subscription in France. If yon find a happy idea, wo aro convinced that it will bo successful on both continents, and wo shall do a work which will have a far-icaching moral effect. '' Bartholdi tells all this in his modest little sketch of the work of tho French Committee. And in thepo two convei- satinns at 31. Labotilaye's the germ of tho French-American Union's project may bo found. IlAUTIIOI.llt's VISIT TO AMUIIICA. Tho sculptor thought over noma plans for the proposed monument on tho way out, but only hazily. Suddon lv, ono beautiful sprinc morning, steaming up through tho Narrows into New x oik my, tho moment ot inspi ration oamo aud tho soulptor saw in fancy tho maiestio figure of Liberty towering with her torch over tho bas tions of old Fort Wood, lighting thu crowded harbor, with its tributary riv ers aud tho vast, blackhued cities on their borders, tho very imago of a teeming, populous miniature world. With all his travels in America that niipressiou grow only snarpcr anil moro ueiineii. noioru returning to Franco ho inado a water color drawing of tho Statue of Liberty on liedlow s Island.and showing it to various prom inent men iu America, in tho Union League Club in New York moro par ticularly and in Philadelphia to whom 31. Laboulayo had given him loiters of introduction, ho soon disoovercd that ho could look for support in the United States that, as ho says, the draft drawn by tho French Committeo on American sentiment would not ho pro tested. M. Laboulayo had had somo correspondence already with John Jay and others respecting tho monument; hut though tho interest which Barthol di mentions was no doubt arouset', no formal nction was taken until tho soulptor's second vis'r, here, TI1K rltKXCI.ASi:UIU.VN 1'NlOK. Going back to France, Bartholdi run over his impressions lo 31, Laboulayo and his friends, and laid beforo them tho plan for a stntuo iu Now York harbor. Thoy udoptvd it with enthusi asm, A committee was organized tin der tho name of tho Fronch-Ainerican Union, and Bartholdi set to work to mako his first models. Tho full plan of tho Union was made public at tho and of 1871, and subscription lists wp0 soon peculating throughout Kiaiice. A good ileal of money oamo in at onco mid moro was promised. Tho actual moulding of tho hugo cast began in 1875, Tho birth of tho stntuo was celebrated on November Oth of that year by a dinner nt tho Hotel du Louvre, at which tint Aaicrioan Minister, 3Ir. Washbunu', and all tho prominent memhets of tho French Amerioan Union wcro present. Tho ritrht liund of tho goddess was struck off in its colossal proportions nnd Bent to the Centennial Exhibition at Phila delphia iu 1870. 5, 1886. Bartholdi himself camo over in that year ns one of tho French jury for tho eihihitlon. Tho unveiling of his stat- no oi littayette, which was oruorcd by tho Fronoh Government as a gift to tho city of Now York In acknowledg ment of the rolief sent to Paris after tho siege, nnd which now stands in Union Square, gavo him an opportuni ty to push matters among ins Now York friends. A call for a meeting nt tho Century Club was issued by William 31. Ev arts, John Jay, W. II. Wickham, S. D. Babcoek, William II. Appleton and Kiohard Butler. There tho plau of tho French committeo was talked over with Bartholdi aud Hocharabcau and an American committee was organized. .Mr. Evarte was its chairman nnd Rich ard Butler its secretary. Sub-committees wero appointed and weekly meet ings wcro held for a tnno. Tho ques tion of procuring legislation from Con gress was tho most important. After somo drawbacks and delnys, a joint resolution was introduced accept ing tho statue and setting apart n silo on either Governor's or Bedlow's Is land for tho statue, and on February 22, 1877, it passed both Houses. Gen eral W. T. Sherman was sent on to do cide between thu two, and wisely con firmed Bartholdi's choice. Fort Wood was given up as a military post and turned over to the uso of the Ameri can committee. TAnnv mtowTii ov the statuk. Bartholdi went back to Franco in tho fall of 187G Tho political crisis that camo toward tho end of 31ac3Ia hon's Presidency had bad a disastrous effect on tho affairs of the French American Union. Subscriptions had almost ceased to come in nnd word was sent to tho American committeo that tho work on the foundation and pedes tal of tho statue bad better bo post poned for a year or two. It was not until 1879 that money enough was raised in Frauco to pay tho baro ex penses of the work on tho statue. Iu 1878, however, Bartholdi, san guine nnd undaunted as ever, executed tho head for tho Paris Exposition. The other parts followed at intervals, and by July, 1880, tho French com mittee saw its way clear to report sub stantial progress to tho American com mittee aud to fix a probable date for tho completion of tho statue. On Oc tober 24, 1881, tho anniversary of the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown all the pieces of tho framework and of tho baso were put in place, and Levi P. 3Iorton, then United States Minister to France, was invited to drive tho riv et of tho first piece which was to bo mounted. Tho statue was nearly fin ished in 1883, but tho work on the pe destal here was so backward that it was decided to leave tho completed goddess on exhibition for awbilo iu Paris. Finally, on July 4,lS84,Count Ferdi nand do Lessops, who had succeeded 31. Laboulayo as President of tho French Committee, turned the statuo over iorracrlly to tho Unitod States through 3Ir, 3Iorton. It stood six months longer waiting for tho comple tion of tho pedestal. It seemed for a tlmo that it would havo to wait torov cr, and tho work of taking it down was beguu in January, 1883, with many misgivings. Tho pieces wero packed carefully in 210 cases and stowed on board tho French man-of-war Isero at Rouen. Tho statuo was insured for about half its value. Tho Isero had an extremely rough voyago nnd had to put back onco to Rouen to escape a storm. Outside tho harbor of New York sho was met by the French North Atlantic Squadron, under Admiral La Combe, and escort ed into tho bay with flying colors. The Isero reached Now York iu June, 188.). Tho pieces of tho statue wero lightered over to Bedlow's Island and wero stored thero until 3Iay last, when the work ot setting up tho great cop per goddess for the last time was begun. Till! AMERICAN COMMITTEE'S TKIAI.S. Tho American committee could do nothing, of Course, after obtaining tho grant of a sito from Congress, but wait for tho signal from 31. Bartholdi and his friends to break ground for tho statue's pedestal. In 1882 somo pre liminary steps wero taken. A publio meeting was held in tho Academy of 3Iusio on November 2i? of that year, and tho taking of subsciiptions was pushed vigorously. Iho Mow York Legislature passed a bill appropriating $."0,000 for tho work on tho pedestal. But Governor Clove land vetoed it, to tho great disgust of tho managers of tho Pedestal Fund, as unconstitutional. A still greater disappointment camo with tho winter ot lH84.ii. A bill appropriating SI 00- 000 was introduced during tho short session of Congress, nnd failed through the neglect of tho Committeo on Ap propriations to insert tho item in their mat report. Work on tho foundation inside tho old fort was begun in tho spring of 1883, an. I the loundnttou itself was finished hetoro tho end of that year. In tho spring of 1881 tho corner-stone of tho pedestal was laid, aud a fow tiers of granite wero nddod now nnd then from inonlh to month. Tho first bit of enthusiasm was over, and tho subscription list hung fire. Statuettes and photographs wero slruok off by tho committeo and offered for sale, but tho returns grow smaller nnd smaller. One hundred aud sovo'nty-fivo thous and dollars had been raised by tho summer of 188(, and tho committee's persuasive powers wero apparently ex hausted, Its run of bni luck could not ho broken. In 3Iarch, 1885, when tho statuo was almost ready for shipmeut, and tho American committee, in a state of thickening despair, tho Now York World unexpectedly undertook to raiso tho $100,000 Btill needed, and opened a subscription list of its own for that purpose. By Julv a total of S102, 000.30 was turned into tho Po- destal Fund. This tided tho commit teo over tho fall and winter of 1885, nun sorvoit, indeed, to hnUh tho mas sivo pedestal in April, 18S0. I ho iron framework nnd braces lor tho support of tho stntuo wero put up in may ami June, and on July l'.'th tho work on tho copper plating itself was begun, 3Inny of tho huge pieoos boxed up so long, shaken about in so many handlings nnd exposed to a great variety ot temperatures, had flattened out of their original shape.

Tho statuo was practi cally finished on October 1G. From that day, at least, tho Amoricnn com mittee will always dato its first mo mcnt of relief. THE SITE AND TUB POUNIIATION. BjrthoHi himself choso Bedlow's Is. land fifteen years ago for tho sito of his great monument. No spot, in fact, could havo been n happier ono for tho purpose. From tho shores of the Bay tho level islet looks like tho mere natu ral baso of the vast statuo and its solid-faced pedestal. Cut away from any rival objects largo or small, dwarfed or dwaifitiir. tho colossal figure stands clearly against the freo back-ground of water, land and sky, bletidiug with them easily nnd simply, liko an imago drawn, as tho goddtss is, on their own scale. And if tho great bronzo figure Ills, liko ono of its own rivetB in tho copper sheath, into the surroundings of sea and sky, tho granite pedestal finds aready-mado support to tho double star-shaped inner walls of old Fort Wood Tho base of tho pedestal is almost hidden from the outside behind them, and when tho old parado ground is filled in, and tho sodded tcrraco slopes gently downward from the crown of tho foundation over them to the sea wall below, thoir tops will mako an easy break halt-way whero Iho stair cases will broaden out into spacious platforms, and benches will bo ranged for loiterers in tho pleasant weather. Tho outworks of tho fort have disap peared i so have tho powder-houses and tho sally-ports. Tho baBtions themselves will soon bo buried in tho dirt. Only the small sea battery with its guns freshly polished for display, net use, will be left to remind one in a year or two that Bedlow's Island was once a Govortiment post. The bulk of tho pedestal's founda tion will, of course, be out of sight when the landscape gardener has fin ished his work ou the approaches to tho statue. It starts, in fact, beneath the old parado ground, at thirteen feet above tho mean low water mark. In shape it is something liko a truncated pyramid, with a gentle slope. It does not rise, however, with a continuous wall, but with a series of , , . greav layers oi concrete, each one a trifle smaller than the one it rests up on. Tho top reaches up above tho fort walls fifty-two feet ten inchos from tho baso. There is no break to the very top. The whole thing is a vast mass of concrete and rock, which measures on its upper face about sixty-fivo feet square. A WELL 11UILT PEDESTAL. Tho pedestal proper at its baso is sixty-two feet square, and begins at an elevation above tide-water or sixty-fivo feet. In the middle of each face, just on a leval with the proposed terrace, is : doorway, fivo feet wido and thir teen feet high. On each-side of every door is a projecting disk of stone on which tho arms of the United States and of Franco will bo cut in lelief. Abovu the doors is a broad band of stono running around tho pedestal and broken into forty smooth faced medal lions, ten on each Bide, on which the coats-of-arms of tho various States will probably bo placed. Still higher than tho medallions aro four largo nanols. twenty-threo feet and six inches long and fivo feet and three inches from top to bottom. Theso will also bo covered with appropriate inscriptions and de signs. Whero tho walls io:n again thero s a jutting frieze of plain L-ranite, crown ed with a low open balcony on which lour aooi's open again Irom the shaft within. Hero tho third section begins. Tho walls contract several feet, though tho balcony rail breaks tho sharpness cf tho effect from below. It is but a few tiers now to the top of tho pedes tal, hid from viow by tho rich drapery of the goddess's tunic. Tho topmost platform is thirty-nino feet and four and threo eighths inches squaro and io leoi nuovo low-water m,rk, Tho pedestal is in its way a most graceful and modest structure. It, is neither monotonous or heavy, and has been raado to look smaller than it really is. Tho goddess, in fact gains n point ot elevation by this suppress- ion, and towers over everything else, but tho effect is in no wav forced or stilt-like. Tho soft gray shado of tl o pedestal blonds well with tho reddish brown of the copper, nnd the whiteness of tho rough quoins shows far aoross tho water in the slanting rays of tho early morning or lato afternoon sun Tho granite used is from a quarry on Leete's Isl.tnd in Connecticut, and tho size of the blocks mado tho building of tho pedestal ono of tho heaviest piooes of masonary over undertaken about New York. Gonoral Charles P. Stono was tho chief engineer of tho work. Richard 31. Hunt tho arceitect, and David II. King, Jr., tho builder. Tho pedestal cost in all about $250,000. COLOSSAL SIZE OF TUP. KIODKE. Tho Goddess of Libertv is tho larg est work of its kind that has over been completed. Tho legendary Colossus of lvhodcs could not possibly havo had tho shapo of bigness attributed to it. Tho colossal statuo ot Arnuntus, iu Ba varia, is about ninety-four feet in height : that of St. Charles Borromco, on tho shores of Lake 3Iaggiore, sixty six feet. Tho Virgin of Puy comes noxt, titty-two tect, aud statue of Ha vona last, scarcely moro than a foot shorter. All ot them shrink out of countenance beside tho gigantlo oopper .!.....
