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.

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 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.
