Rebuked by a Cockney.

“In Windsor castle,” says a woman. “I was amused to be rebuked by the pompous cockney who showed us about. We went into a room where were hanging a number of pictures whose painter I had no means of knowing and whose style I did not recognize. ‘Who painted these?’ I asked of our cicerone. He fixed upon me a glance of lofty reproof. ‘You h’ought,’ he said, coldly, ‘to know the works of h’art of your h’own country. Those were painted by Benjamin West, h’an h’American. Did ye never ’•ar of ’im?"’—N. Y. Time*.
