A BASHFUL KING.
Trials of an Artist in Attempting to
Paint Portrait of an Afri-
can Potentate.

NJ de la Neziere, just back from the
west coast of Africa. has been spending
some months in lanorious attempts to
paint the portrait of Saraory, the van
pushed king. under considerable diff
iculties. The delhroned potentate has
the greatest objection to artists in gen
cral. and in particular deemed il IA
piece of gross impeiiinence ON the part
4 II. de la Neziero 10 want 10 catch his
likeness. His dusi<y majesty had 10 bs
eoaSed with innumerable gifts OF
cigarettes, matches, and eoppers into
giving the painter sitting. Among ali
the presents showered upon him, small
change, which he used promptly to put
in his mouth as Il precaution against
piekpoelSeis, was what he liked best.
At last Samory was Modified, began
to call NJ de la Nezere by the only
French word he knew "camarade," and
graciously consented to sit. The un-
fortunate artists difficulties were not
vet. however, at an end. When Samory
saw his royal features being drawn
upon canvas lie VAS taken with IA
bashiu TT that lasted on and oil for sey-
raj weeks. He used every now and
hen To hide his eountenance beneath
his turhan. and resolutely refused To
unveil. Whenever il happened that
Samory's feelings of modesty were thus
unaccountably hurt, the sitting had in
variably Ca he given up for the day. At
other times the fallen, but still capri
,ious, monarch used seriously TO dis
turb the painters work by sprinkling
him and bis canvas with water. At last,
however, NJ. de Ia Neziere succeeded in
getting few sketches of Samory,
which he has brought back with him,
and from which he intends painting {,
finished portrait of the dethroned king.
