From the Philadelphia Times.

FROM Ono IhllaQelpnia lines.
Ireland is the home Of the modern
duel. 1t Aourishes here to an extent
not dreamed of elsewhere. 1t was IL
Ireland, and as late as 1912, too, that
the Judge said from the bench, in a
trial for murder in a duel, to his jury :
"Gentlemen it is my business to lay
down the law to you, and will. The
law says killing a man in duel is
murder, and am bound to tell you
that it is murder; therefore, in the
discharge of my duty, tell you so
but at the same time I say to you
that a fairer duel than this l never
saw in the course of my life"
If Ireland is the home of the duel,
Sir Jonah bennington may be called
the father of the code. His utterances
upon this subject are law all over the
world. bennington himself had sew
eral dueIs. He was once called by a
Mr.. Daily to the field without ever
having seen him. When he reached
the ground Mr. DAILY announced that
bennington was not the man he had
intended to challenge. bennington
insisted, however, upon proceeding
az by rule sven of the code; No
apology can be received without ex-
changing shots after the parties met"
He fired and wounded Mr.. DAILY, and
then excepted his apology. AT anoth-
err time he went out to fight one Nc
NalIy. His ball struck Mentally, who
instantly cried: 81 am hit" But the
ball had struck the buckle Of his ga
lows, and hal not entered his body
Thereupon Borrington said: You
are the first rogue, McNally, that |
ever saw s0yed by the gaIlows.'-
Bennington survived all his duels.
John Philpot Curran was exceed
ingly happy on the field, and usually

once fought IA Mr. St. Ledger. He
received his antagonists fire without
tiinching, hut did not return it

that he would die OF fright at the re-
port of his own pistol" On another
occasion he went out to meet John
Egan, who is described as IA great bull
ly, and of enormous size Egan com
planned ot the great disparity in their
size, and said: Il could as easily hit
a razor edge az him, while he can take
me as easily as turf stack" Curran,
with an air of charming candor, adj
