HtbvB and Beqjtmlt West Aa anecdote h related bf Mr. Tick- Mi ta reference* to Benjamin West's f totur* of the "Death of Nelsen." Just frafore Nelson went to pea for the last Hat, West sat next to the great cftp- lalnat an entertainment flven in his i*»ar, and in the course of dinner Nel- •m expressed his regret to Sir William •aasiiton that he had little taste or discrimination for art. 'Bt»t,M said he, fuming to West, "there is one picture whose power I do feel. I never pass a print shop where yeur 'Death of Wolfe* tola the window without being stopped \f it/* West, of course, made his ack­ nowledgments. and Nelson went on to ask why he had painted no more of •bain like it. -JBcesuMi, my lord, there are no more •objects." •*D--it." aald the sailor, "I didn't think ol thatand asked him to take a glass of Champagne. "But, my lord, I fear your intrepidity will yet furnish me soeh another scene* and if It should, J shall certainly avail myself of it." -Will you?" said Nelson, pouring out hampers, and touching his glass violent­ ly egainst West's, "Will you, Mr. West? Then I hope I shall die in the aestt battle." We all know the painter fulfilled his premise in the "Death of Nelson."-- Editor's Drawer, in Harper's Magai able for December. gfl^The Taylor Cownfff Wis., News la Informed that an old woman, ueld eaongh to grace a grave," has taken up s homestead in that county.
