The Man who backed down Wilson,

The Man who backed down MisOhs
DR. Gibson, who lately challenged Col. F.
A. Terry, in Arkansas, to fight a duel with
him in a close room, two feet apart, in order
to give him an equal chance with himself,
Terry having excused himself from fighting,
on the ground that he was cripple, is
man of very considerable celebrity in the
State above mentioned One act of his life
is particularly remembered. Some years ago
the Speaker of the Arkansas House of Rep
rcsentatives ("Horse-ears" Wilson, as he was
called from peculiar motion of his ears)
came down from his seat, with a brandished
bowie knife, and butchered to death young
member named Anthony, for certain good
humored remarks which he had made in his
plac in the House, ridiculing somewhat the
Speaker He was tried for the offense, but
his money and political status saved him.
Young Anthony was buried, the heart of his
betrothed-a beautiful young lady-was
broken, and Mr.. Wilson continued to occupy
his position as Speaker of the House. This
deed was not the first of his bloody record,
and he was dreaded as fatal duelst and
iron-hearted desperado Men were afraid to
differ with him in opinion, and, when they
did venture to express an opinion contrary to
his, always clothed their language in terms
Of the utmost Difference and respect toward
him. Not long after the death of Anthony,
DR.. Gibson was returned to the Legislature
from one of the lower counties Shortly af-
ter his arrival, he took occasion to differ
with the Speaker, on some measure before
the House, and proceeded to give him, per
sonally, the most terrible scathing that
truly eloquent tongue could utter In the
midst of his flow of invective, the Speaker
rose from his seat, bowie-kuife in hand, de-
scended from the platform and advanced
upon Gibson. Members near the Speaker
attempted to seize him. Let him come on,
said Gibson in a voice of thunder, and his
eye flashing fire, "let him come on, he wiH
find no Anthony, here I" The Speaker for
once met his master or at least his equal in
courage, and not reishing the formidable
aspect and note of preparation of his antago-
mist, fell back and, with a look of assumed
contempt, resumed his seat. 1t was the first
time that old "lIorse-e ears" had ever been
