Origin of the Word "Queer.

1.-The word queer has a remarkable
origin attributed to it. One night,
when the performance at Drury, Lane
was finished, the celebrated Quin,
many of whose jokes are still remem-
bered, offered 10 bet young nobleman
one hundred pounds that next morning
word would be in universal use
which had never been heard before
The nobleman accepted the wager and
left the theater. Then Gum summoned
all the 'supers,' who happened to be
very numerous, and gave each a large
piece of chalk. He told them to 90
through the leading thorOughfares of
London, and write at intervals on the
flags. the word queer Quin's orders
were faithfully carried out, and on the
following morning, of course. people
were astonished--the word was in
everybody's mouth. The great actor
with little difficulty made good his
claim to the nObleman's bank-note.
while bequeathing a new word to the
language. The story is good one,
but it does not agree with the dict;on
arieS.-Sdn Francisco ArgORdut.

horse would stop at his Ole places but no
master would descend from his perch, milk
can in hand, as was his usual want, and
the old horse loo seemed wonderfully
surprised for a few remaining min

his driver he would prick up his ears, evi-
IDENTITY thinking he had made a mistake,
and start off again. An officer, who was
perfectly familiar with Newton and his cart,
noticed that something was wroAg and in
