Uncle Billy Toombs, the friend and former
slave ofGeneral Robert Toombs, Of Georgia. died
last week. at the ripe age of eighty seven years
When General Toombs was born, Billy was eleven
years old aud was at once assigned to duty as the
boy in waiting TO the baby. When young Toombs
grewiup and married, his father presented him with
Billy, and ever afterwards the closest friendship ex-
isted betweed the two. Billy accompanied his mas
ter to Washington, to the fashionable watering
places and TO Europe In this way ne became IA
milar with many distinguished people. Before the
war he had an intense hatred for the aboltionsts,
refusing to counlenance them in any way When
the war was over, and the Toombs family had gath
cred once more Mt the old family mansion Billy re-
turned there as well as the rest "You are free
now" said General Toombs TO him. ''Pll never be
free from old master" said he but will follow you
all my life TO this General looms replied Every
well, then, III take care of you" Ever after Billy
was the most devoted Of servants looking after his
masters interests as though they were his own.
When General Toombs died, two years ago he left
full provision for Uncle Billy's maintenance, and
no mourner at the generals grave shed warmer
tears than did the faithful old African who fingered
there long after the crowd had melted away. Uncle
Billy win be remembered one of the few Africans
who absolutely refused 10 ,ccpt their freedom.

SHE LOVED ABNER TENNY,
hence her reluctance TO testify, and after the
preliminary eXammntionlshe said that she re-
gretted having revealed the secret. But it
was out now, and the young man lying in the
county Jail reiterated his innocence, but still
he refused 10 make his whereabouts and occu-
patton on that night known.
1t was strange that Ellen Gray's testimony
should romain uncorroborated in its essential
particulars, but there were several parties who
had seen the accused near the scene of the
crime ut that late hour of the night.
He did not deny this, but porSistently re-
fused TO explain his presence there.
His father visited him, and begged him TO
unburden himself, but he invariably returned
the same reply:
"Were to tell you, you would feel as badly
as though had committed the murder"
The young man was visited by many &C
quaintances, to whom he would not reveal his
secret, and il at last became more than half
suspected that he had accompliocs who had
concealed the money, not one dollar of which
had as yet been found.
Ellen Gray continued to reatiirm her state
ment. She was confident that she had heard
Abnor Tcnuy, in tones that left no doubt in
her mind that he addressed his murderer. As
the time for the trial approached she lost her
reluctance, and firmly declared that She knew
that the accused had committed the crime.
The brother, not having been at home on tho
night of the murder, was not summoned as
witness. 1t was known that he, too, had visit
