A good story is told of the second Duke

ing stingy, was in many odd ways eco
nomical. He discovered one day some
champagne which he considered, and
which DOUBTLESS was, quite good enough
for a ball supper and which had the ad-
vantage Of being extraordinarily low in
price. He ordered the quantity required
and was rejoicing in his excellent bar
gain when, on opening one Of the papers,
he encountered the following advertise
ment: "Try our celebrated champagne at
80 shillings dozen, as ordered by his
