The artist professed himself weary of painting for the moment. He seemed to have taken much interest in his recent modeling, and called our attention to a genius cast in bronze, which he had hoped that the municipality would have purchased for the illumination of the Place de l'opera. The head was surrounded by a coronet intended to give forth jets of flame, while the wings and body should be outlined by lights of another color. In the course
