WHY HOUDON WAITED.
The Story Is Told In the scuptor's statu
of Washington.


of Washington.
One of the most valuable and in
teresting collections of colonial rel
les in existence is in the state library
at Richmond.
The greatest treasure in the col
lection is the marble statue of Wash
ington by Hordon. 1t possesses the
merit of being the only effigy that
remains of Washington that was
actually taken from life. The statue
conveys very distinct idea OF
Washington, different in many re
spects. however, from the familiar
portraits which for the most part
are copies Of the same original. In
1854, five years before the adoption
of the federal constitution, the gen
eral assembly of Virginia ordered
this statue.
When the statue was provided for,
Thomas Jefferson happened to be IN
Paris, and he engaged Houdon as
the sculptor, because, as he after
ward said, He is, without a rival
ship, the first statuary of his age, as
the proof of which he received or
ders from every country for things
intended to be capital F." Houdon re
ceived 1, 900 English guineas, a trifie
over $4,000. Besides, the expense
of the journey from France to Viz
giuia was paid, and his life was in
srred during his absence from
France at the cost Of the general
assembly. Houdon left Paris i'll
August, 1885. In October he reached
Mount Vernon. Hew treated with
great consideration by Washington
until the formality of his first meet
ing wore away.
Houdon made known no desire to
get to work at the statue, and it is
believed that Washington hospi
tally grew trifio cold before the
sculptor really set about the work
for which he had come over the sea.
One morning while the family, of
which Houdon had become tempo
rarily q member, was seated at
breakfast, a message was brought to
Washington, informing him that a
pair of carriage horses had been
brought for his inspection, he hav
inc made known his desire to pur-
chase a team Washington left the
table presently and went outside.
Houdon followed. After moments
close inspection Washington asked
the price Of the animals.
lone thousand dollars, was the
reply
lone thousand dollars" said
Washington, in amazement.
"Ah, l ave him! I ave him"
broke in Houdon gleefully He hur
ried away and began work on the
statue industriously, and so it is
supposed that she expression pre-
served on the statue at Richmond is

Washington when he learned OF
what he considered an eXorbitant
price for the span of horses. With
the knowledge of this little incident
in seeing the statue, it is not hard
to believe that Houdon had him"
in truth, and kept him, for there is
an expression of surprise on the face
and the lips are compressed. 1t
seems that Houdon, after he got the
inspiration he had been waiting for,
pursued the work faithfully, gain
ing Washington s interest and good
will by his perseverance and indus
