huwtaind, P. J. Duffy, was made admin-
Uxtrator,
If one might be frliked by the mere
tn&glo of a wish away from the vulgar,

h*iw 1 inpertincnce of thin impatient tlmo
!mok to thoso vtnya of iileaiantncM and
pathBof peace which wero tho familiar
conditions of old Maryland, bo might
choose to find hlmiclf trundling in an an
tiquated gig through tho long, dim stretch
of wooda and the double colonnade of to*'
cults and beeches which formed the ap
proach to the “grunt house" and ended In
the gravolod drive that bolted the noble
lawn—from live to seven acres of close,
clean sward, dotted with firs and cedars
and terraced from end to end. Here stood
tho hturdy domicile, broad and square,
built of bricks brought over from England
in tho ships that camo for tobacco. It was
flanked on cocb hand with offices and
strung out to tho very edgo of the woods
with outbuildings—kitchen, dairy, ice-
houso, overseer's lodge and the "quarter"
for tbo dusky colony of slaves. This latter
might bo either a group of cabins or a
single spaolous tenement of logs or stone,
affording one big sitting room holow,
floored with earth and rado dormitories,
bunked nnd blanketed above. On tho
ground floor tbo negroes loved to lie
around thogrenj; hearth, with their fcot to
the fire, and to sleep that Bleep of in-
Bouclant beatitude which was brokon only
by the fa in I Il» r cry of warning, "Some
fool nlggor's heel a-buralngl"
In tbo distance wns tho clumsy wind
mill for the grinding of the maize which
wns presently to And itself transformed
nnd famous In coquetries of Johnny enko
nnd pone, nnd flapjacks flattered with
golden butter, and beyond, between tho
willows by tbo crook, glimpsed and glanced
tho rippling silver of tho bay, with its
Bleepy coves and inlets dotted with canoes’
and barges, and with tho elondar spars of
punglos In among the cuddling littlo Isles,
where £nmbo tonged for "oyeshotors” in
tho eon and, tho lorgorflshor took his finny
treasures from tbo weir.
Hero was a land flowing with mint ju
leps and blooming with delectable dam-
/• I*. Mlstrens Rebecca Lloyd, beautiful
and gracious, grooted tho newcomer with
a winsome courtesy on tho broad piazza,
and tho grizzled butler, who hail “toted”
Ills young missus around so long that
thoro woro still times whon ho forgot him-
Bclf nnd called her "honoy," brought you
tho bogulling bovorago on a sliver salver
engraved with tho family nruiB and was
distressed if your straw refused to draw.
That broad piazza was burnod, with tho
rest of tho noble houso of Wye, on March
18, 1781, when a British marauding party
looted tho plantation and tho mansion
anil carried off plate, jewelry and watcfiea,
swords, spurs, sashes and cooked bcavcip,
muffs, turbans and tlppots, wigs and em
broidered walstcoasts, plumed lints and
cardinals, tho wholo splendid plunder of
bravo nppnrol and dainty bedeckings.
Tho fair Rebecca has long bIqco boon
choired among tho angels, and tho grizzled
butler sloops with his toes turned up tp
tho mint, hut whon I crossed tliolawb Ann
kindly day In December I wns greeted as
graciously by Rebecca's lator kinswoman*
nnd oonductod Into tho great hall, which
never yet, whether In tho parent houso or
in this, was big enough for tho hospital-
ltios It bos harborod. Tho gmnd old man
or houso gnvo its body to tho flamos, but
Its soul survives In the later mansion,
whero its traditions of courtesy and kind
ness nro piously cherished.
Near tho site of tho historic doiuicile t a
fragment of which still remains, stands
tho beautiful structure, impressive by lts
proud simplicity, which Invites tho way
farer today In tho nanio of. eight genera
tions of Maryland worthies who hnvo kept
houso there since Edward I^oyd I, tho
Puritan, in 1068, set up his son Philemon
to bo lord of tho manor of Wyoand master
of Wyo Houso—incunabula majorum. Tho
uinln building of two lofty stories, includ
ing tho ball, drawing room, parlor, din
ing room and chambors, all of noblo pro
portions, Is oonncctcd by corridors with
ono storied wings, which aro tho library
on ono eldo and tho domestio offices on tho
other, presenting a pleasing facade of SOO
feet, looking out upon tho lawn nnd tbo
leafy nvon ie, nnd ovor tho wooda to Wyo
river nnd tho bay.
In Governor Lloyd's tlmo thero was a
certain steward, or bailiff, at Wyo, ono
Captain Anthony of £t. Michael's, at ono
tlmo master of a bay craft In tbo scrvloo of
tbo governor. This man wns tho owner pf
a likely nogro boy who escaped from boud*
age, and by his remarkable powers, ac
quirements and address beenmo known to
tbo world as Frederick Douglass. In 1881
Mr. Douglass, being thon marshal of tho
District of Columbia, was moved to re
visit tho Hoonos of his childhood and hila
thrall, and ono day found himself on tho
porch of Wyo Houso, whero ho was re
ceived by tho sons of Colonel Lloyd, their
father Mng absent, with that courtesy
which Is extended to ©very stronger who
finds his way thither. When ho had made
known tho motlvo of his visit, ho was
conducted ovor tho ostato, from spot to
spot that ho remembered nnd desorojou
with all their childish associations—hero a
spring, thero a hedge, a tone, a jbeld, a
tree. He called them by their names or
recalled them by some slmpto incident,
and oil the glowing heart of tho man
seemed to go out to the place as he passed
from ghost to ghost ns in a dream. And
then a strange thing happened. Standing
muto and musing for awhile, he said slow
ly and low, as one who talks In his sleep,
"Over in them woods was vrhar mo and
Mars Dsn uceter trap rabbits." "Mars
Dan" wns tho governor's son. Was it tho
man's half playful, half pathetic sense of
tho giotesque incongruity of tho situation^
or was it glamour—all tho tremendous sig
nificance of a phenomenal 11 fo compacted
into the homely reflection and phrase of a
barefoot "darky!"
He plucked flowers from the graves of
dead Lloyds be had known and at tho ta
ble drank to tho health of tho master of
tho old houso and of his children, "that
they and their descendants may worthily
maintain tho character and tho fame of
their ancestors."—Dr. John W. Palmer In

FOR THE VOLUNTEERS' BENEFIT.
Tho Schubert Symphony Club Tonight
at Volunteers' Armory.
The Schubert Symphony Club, which
will give a performance to this city for
tho benefit of the Volunteers nt Vol
unteers' armory tonight, oomes well
recommended by 'the press. The Colum
bia (S. C.) Statu has this to say of their
performance in that city:
The Schubert Symphony Club gave a
wry excellent performance at tho
oPi‘iu house last evening, .and those
who were deterred by tho threaten
ing weather from attending missed a
treat. The selections were from popu
lar rather than dncaftoal compositions
and wero very acceptable bj the audi
ence, frequent encores being demanded.
Master Purcell, the young violinist, is
a charming little felXjw, and played
remark ably weCl for one of hto years.
His recitations were very good indeed.
The singing of the lady quartette and
the solo work of Mlswes Dyer and Pur
cell wa£ delightful, and the instrument
al rumbers of the veruatil? members of
the club, who aeom equally masters of
violin, mandolin, guitar and piopo. was
uniformly excellent. Mlsa Kellogg, the
elocutionist, is a Cady of charming per
sonality and great aceompHshm-nts.
Her voice is sympathetic, tier enuncia
tion singularly distinct and her meth
ods admirable.
The cpmpauy Haves for Sumter this
morning, and when it again visits Co
lumbia may be assured of a watim wel
come.

to have been made before to the abet
of police and the Jailera. He says Blixt
lias never made a confession.; .Mr,;
O'Dell added, by way of explanation,
that when admissions wore wrung fr.tn
Blixt at the nonr famouu inquisition, the
