Carpeaux and a Bust of the Emprese He Had Modalad, One day Carpenui, the painter, asked Nnpoleon III., who had always ex pressed great friendship for him, to permit him to model the bust of the Empress Eugenie. Her gracious maj esty admitted that Carpeaux painted, but denied that he was a sculptor and modestly pretended that her beauty was not sculptural. ( Napoleon III. promised to speak In bis favor and Invited Mrp to Cam piegne. Carpeaux went. Clght days" passed. The empress did not wish to pose. Tbe invitation to the chateau was for only a week, and Carpeaux was notified to yield bis place. "No," he declared, "not before I4. have made the bust of the empress." v This response was repeated to the emperor, who mnde another attempt He ended by obtaining ber consent to give a pose of two hours to Carpeaux. The sculptor asked no ' more.' He made a masterpiece, baked tbe clay and proudly showed it tovthe sover eign. She looked at it a moment, made a little mouth, said, "Ohi yes, it is pretty," and turned her back. Carpeaux was furious. He returned to bis workshop with the bust and threw it upon tbe floor. It was scratch ed, but not broken. A workman pick ed it up. It then went into tbe posses sion of Dr. Fournier. $oday it is owned by his-son, who blesses the Em press Eugenie for not baring desired it Cri de Paris. GOT GAY ON THE STAGE. Irving Spoiled the Scene the Only Time He Broke His Rule. Tbe note nbont actors .who try to "queer" other actors on' the stage, writes a correspondent reminds me of a story of the only time when Ilnry Irving was guilty of such a thing. He was acting Othello, to tbe Desdeinonn of the late Miss Bateman, and every Saturday, night the performance was followed by a very pleasant little sup per party. Desdemonn was strangled on a bed at tbe back of the stage,' and part of Irving's "business" was to leave the bed and then, going back to it, to draw the curtains slightly aside and peep In atjthe. body, afterword turping a face of "inexpressible anguish toward the audience. His face, bis shudder and tbe deep drawn sigb which be gave were among tbe most impressive part of one of his greatest creations. As a rule, be sternly suppressed any levity on tbe stage, but one Saturday night, as be drew back tbe curtain, be said, in a sepulchral whisper, "Whut have we for supper, DesdemonaT' Alna! Miss Bateman was unequal to tbe strain, and a merry laugh from the corpse rang through the house. Never again. I believe, did Irving break bis own rule of seriousness on the stage. It was told me (adds our correspondent) by my father, who was at the supper party on the night it oc curred. Manchester Guardian. Thrived on Poor Writing. Illegible handwriting may prove nn aid to prosperity. The late Lord Go seben said of bis father, "He bas told me half in joke and half in earnest that when he came to London he was obliged to found a firm because be wrote such a bad hand that no one would take blra for a clerk." Of Lord Goscbeu himself bis biographer re marks: "In bis latter years be might have spelled as be chose, for no one could have affirmed with certainty bow many Ts' he might have put In although.' At length his script be came undecipherable even by Goscheu uituself Qe could not when speaking in parliament make out what it was that be bad put on paper, and he thus came in later years to abandon almost entirely bis old practice of making notes." Song of the East Indian Laborer. When drawing water from the wells, tbe man lu charge of the operation in variably encourages the bullocks with a cheery slug-soug, at tbe critical moment when they are raising tbe beavy leather poucb of water from tbe well, oud if be was to remain silent tbe Indian bullock, wbo is a strong conservative, would certainly refuse to start I once listened to tbo song which tbe men sang when tbey were making mortar. It was something like this: "Ob, bullocks! what a work you are doing, going round and round mak ing mortar for the masons. Oh, bul locks! go faster, go faster! Tbe masons will cry out, oh, bullocks, for more mortar-more mortar. So go faster, go faster!"-From "India and tbe In dians." ' Her Substitute For Oil of Birch.
