A Spe'e Curious Origin.

a shaft was sunk In search of coal, but
the effort had to be abandoned owing

found Its way Into a small brook, and
In due course tho Inhabitants began to

Settled the Duel.
Lord March, afterward the Mnrntils
of Qucensberry, was not accustomed !
to view a Aiol with unbecoming op-,
prehension and usually attended an
affair with nil air of enjoyment that
often was decidedly displeasing and
imharrussiiig to his adversary. But
ho was served at lust with that sauce
which the proverb explains Is for the i
gander as well as for the goose. It
wob when ho was challenged to fight !
an Irish sportsman. Lord March np-,
peared on the ground accompanied by
a second, surgeon and other witnesses.
His opponent arrived soon afterward
with a similar retinue, lint added to
by a person who staggered under the
weight of a polished oak coffin, which
ho deposited on the ground, cud up,
with Its lid facing Lord March and his
party. Lord March became decidedly
uncomfortable when he read tho In
scription pimp, etigruved with liln own
name and tlrle and tho date ami year
