married man must tell his wife where
he is going when he goes out, or, if

As is the case with many of the artists
whose names are now held in honor, little
is known of the life of Pierre Gouthierc,
but that little is wCrth repeating. 1t was

careful student of art, the late Baron
Davilier, i'll his preface to the re-
printed catalogue of the collection that
had belonged to the celebrated Due d Au-
mont, Gouthiere was born in or about 1740.
His prosperity and glory are identified with
those of Madame du Barry, the fair, frail
creature who may very probably have de-
served the grim fate which overlook her.
but who certainly, if she squandered the
treasure of France, squandered it upon the
artists of France.
She had a craze for Gouthiere and his
works, and she seems TO have made of her
villas at Luciennes and Versailles the most
magnificent Storehouses of his talent. 1t is
on record that in three Years she paid him
not less than 124, coo livreS, equal to about
S75. 600 francs in modern money. OF this
no less than S1.239 liyres went for the dec

A GALLANT ADMIRAL.
He Cast the Heads of Thirteen
MOOrs into a Tub of Pork.

mOOrS HRTO a huD Oh Pork
From the London Telegraph.
A new war-ship was recently launched in
England which was named after John Ben
bow, famous admiral of two centuries
ago. He was descended from an ancient
Shropshire family, which was reduced in
fortune by its staunch and loyal adhesion to
the cause of Charles l. His father,
Col. John BenbOw. died when the
future admiral was very young,
leaving no other provision for the boy than

''bred to the sea- Before 50 he became
master and part owner of the Benbow frig-
ate, employed in the Mediterranean trade,
in which he would doubtless have acquired
a comfortable fortune had not accident
brought him into the royal navy. IN 1856
he was attacked upon his passage to CadiZ
by Sallee rover. against whom, though
fearfully Overnatched. he defended
his ship with heroic bravery.
Although the Moors boarded him,
they were quickly beaten out of
the ship with the loss of thirteen men,
whose heads Capt. Benbow ordered to be
cut off and thrown into tub of pork pickle.
When he arrived at CadiZ he went ashore
and directed his negro servants TO follow

struck at the sight of the MoorS' heads,
and by the narrative of the
action in which their former owners
fell, that report of the circum-
stance was dispatched to the court at Mad
rid, where Charles IL, then king of Spain,
invited Capt. Benbow to pay him a visit.
His Catholic majesty sent the gallant
Englshman on his way with letter adj
dressed to King James ii. of England in
its bearers favor. On arriving in London.
Benbow was appointed to commission in
the royal navy and the story of his action
in the Mediterranean became so popu-
lar in the rough times prevailing in this and
every other country two centuries since,
that the ''Moor's Head and the ''SaracenS
Head" soon became a favorite sign for
public houses scattered throughout the
length and breadth of the islands. Such is
the first of the inspiring memories recalled
by ''Old Benbow's" name, which typifies
the intimate and cordial connection which
