General H--- , who wow 'Whaled lot many yeah in Algiers, was quite an ori ginal character in his way. He had great natural ability, hut he was not se highly educated u he might here been. He knew very little about art or liters tura. as his early education had Len very much negleetel. He made a greiu tetany ludicrous errors, but he always managed to get out of his dilemmas gracefully, and to throw the laugh bn the other party The general, as we shall call him, owned a beautifu' villa and grounds. and on the occasion we are referring to 1 ad determined to gives fawn party to which the Governor and a11 the higher , Ricers were invited. It was to he a grand af- fair. He spared no expense in making it the event of the seaau.n, his idea being that it should cr'clieee in splendor and attractions a null ir entertainment whish had been given hy the Governor a stmt time previous. All the preparations had Fern trade, nr'.d it most attractive pro- gramme of amu,,n.cr.ts was prepared, when it t.cc•uired to the general that his beautiful garde'', or rather his elegant park, was destitute of statuary, while that of the Governor was densely Wed, se s.. tut speak. with the most popular stater}. A garden party without stat- uary was ':ever to be thought of. Thr genera' remembered that there was in one of his regiments a worthless vagehond'anted Zepher, who was gene- rally in the gu iid-house, but who had a wonderful talent for sculpture, he having Caned a beautiful monument for the garden tet a colonel who had fallen in battle. The general ordered Zepher to report to him. "I hear that you are a sculptor. Now I. want you to aculp me a lot of godsend goddesses, Jupiter, Apoho, Venus and all the rest of them, and have them on hand by eight o'clock sharp, uext Satur- day evening." "But general, 1 can't have them done by next Saturday." It will take months "Silence?' thundered the general, "when I order anything to be done, it has to be done. Y ou have them statuary done or I'll have you locked up fur a month.'" "But, general "Keep quiet' Hew much money do you need to buy plaster of Paris?" Zepher looked at the general, and saw that he was in good earnest : so, after he had studied over the matter, the sculptor replied : "All right, genteel, I will do my best. I will want a hundred franca to" buy pct s- terof Paris." "Here it is. New get to work right away, and have then' statuary by 8 o'clock Saturday night. or you will wish you had never been h rn. Get 'em up in fine style. partict...trfy Venus." "But, general, I have neve: Old any experience with female figurer 1 might not get them right." "Then go tied out how they look, but be sure and have them gods ant; ood- dessee on hand at eight sharp. Saturday 'fight.' That was the lost the general saw of Zepher for several days, but lie heard of hint going front one bar-roum to another, treating everybody. an heaving a good time of it generally. so he sent for the artist. "What is this 1 Lear about you •. In- stead of scalping the gods, you are going about filling your hide with wit.eand rais- ing disturbances.' "General.. replied' Zepher, humbly, "I am getting along finely. We artists havn to get drunk to catch the inspire- ' tior. That's the way it ti witl all great geniuses.' "I have heard something about that, replied the general, pensively : "but be sure you don't overdo it, for them stat- ues have to he on hand."' , "General, I wish you would teil the guests not to touch the statuary. for it ruins fresh statuary to have it handled." "All right, I will attend to that; Now go to your work.' said thegenesal. twist- ing his mustache Zepher went. Saturday night arrived on time, as usual. True to ilia word, Zepher had carried the statuary, wrapped in blan- kets, into an arbor to the garden. The pedestals on whicn to place the hxures had already been placed in tr,iition.

Everybody loam the gutantic'Luuave curpera1, with a big heard, and preueuneed the figure perfect. The young officers gathered around the statue of Venus. and (fated that the resemblance to the regimental vivan'ltere was eo great that they were sure she must have sat as the Model. 9nti,teuly the Governor, who was ex - a fining Jupiter through his eye -glass, uttered an exclamation . f astenish•nettt and started hack. •'P,•hat is it, Gevrrmir 7' "I ,:suit have been mistaken, but I imagined that Jupiter .novel his head.

Before the guests could recover their aeteuishnient, great Jupiter said solemnly : "I know I waa told not to more, gen- eral, hut I just could not help it. I be live I have caught cold in this -" Jupiter did not finish the sentence, tat the outraged and exasperated wane - rat tore a limb from an orange tree and sailed into the god as if to destroy hien bodily.

To do this it squats upon the ground. and, balancing itself upon the sternum, it scratches up the earth with its legs and throws the sand behind it.
