Done q Mystery

Columbia, S. c., Dec. 10.-A special to
the State from Darlington, S. c., says a
deplorable accident or tragedy came to
light there on Sunday morning. The
body of Lloyd w. Gibson, a poor little
dwarf, was found dead on the roadside
about ten miles from Darlington, and not
FAR from his home His skull was lit
orally crushed to pieces, and how it was
done remains mystery, even after the
coroner's inquest. Mr. Gibson was forty
years old, was only thirty inches high
and weighed sixty pounds. He had not
an enemy in the world and was esteemed
by his neighbors. Saturday afternoon he
sold a bale of cotton in the town and
started for home in his little cart, drawn
by goat. His watch and 50 were on his
body when found. 1t is impossible to find
any reason for the crime

A curious phase of slavery and anti
slavery laws before the war is developed
in Helen Gardeners last book, ''An I'm
official Patriot" The hero is Virginia
slave owner. He is convinced that the
patriarchal institution is wrong, and he
wishes to free his negroes. But the laws
of Virginia will not let freedmen remain
in the state. He prepares to migrate with
them to a free state. Indiana. But when
he reaches the borders of Indiana he finds,
to his CONSERVATION, that the laws of this
state also forbid the bringing thither of
any free negroes. The difficulties that
-beset slave owners who wanted to free
their property were not always appre-
ciated by the old fashioned abolitionists.

The death Of General James B. Fry
at Newport recalls the famous parlia-
mentary controversy which made Blaine
and Conkling enemies for life. The con-
troversy occurred in the national house
of representatives of which both were
members, in 1866. The quarrel was
never forgotten, but was continued with
its historical result of disaster after both
were United States senator's General
Fry was provost marshal general of the
United States army from 1858 until
August, 1866, when the office was abol-
-ished. Conkling, partly out Of personal
en1nity to Fry, wanted the Office done
away with. Blaine, as chairman Of the
house committee on military affairs, re-
ported in favor of continuing the pro-
vost marshal general s bureau. Csakling
opposed with characteristic bitterness
and arrogance Blaine replied, denouno-
ing the attack of Conkling on Fry in a
place where Fry could not defend him
self. Conkling said, eff I have fallen tc
the necessity of taking lessons from the
gentleman from Maine on the rules of
propriety or Of right and wrong, God help
me' The subject came up again, and
some time afterward Blaine, irritated
beyond measure, used the language in
which in session Of the house he COM
pared Conkling to a strutting turkey
cock. He said of Conkling 1.-THE con-
tempt Of that large minded gentleman
Is SO whiting, his naughty disdain, his
grandiloquent swell, his majestic, su-
pereminent, overpowering, turkey COB
bier strut has been so crushing to myself
and all the members Of the house, that
know it was an act Of the greatest to-
merity for me to venture on a contro-
:versy with him. For this Conkling
never forgave Blaine
