When the akeJetonof the first gorilla brought to Europe by Paul Du Chaillu was on showjn London the public was admitted on presentation of cards. The late duke of Argyle errote to Du Challln that on such and such a day “the duke of Argyle proposed to visit the gorilia." Du Chafllu. who was of a very quick temper and refused patronized, at once wrote back that the gorilla was to be seen every day between certain hours and that if tha duke of Argyle presented his card he would no doubt be admitted like the real of the public. Constable, the eminent British painter. once aat on the hanging committee of the Boyal academy when a small landscape was brought up for judgment and pronounced “devillah bad" by everybody bnt himself. He rose and made a short and startling speech. “That picture was painted by me. I had a notion that some of you didn’t like my work, and this & a pretty convincing proof. 1 am very ranch obliged tp yon." When hlsco lie agues recovered from their stupefaction the head carpenter was bidden to bring back the picture. But Constable wonld not have lb “Out It goes!" he said, grimly.
