mporarily, his beautiful residence as a hospital
for the support of his theory.

An ivory miniature in a gold locket, now in possession of Miss
Carroll, represents Dr. Stevenson in his red coat and white waistcoat,
and at the back of the locket there is a picture of Parnassus Hill,
crowned by the Doctor's residence, with a perpendicular avenue
straight up hill, and a negro attendant opening the gate at the foot
for Dr. Stevenson, mounted on his horse and returning home. It is a
very quaint and valuable specimen of ante-revolutionary art.

The daughter of this valiant doctor was a beautiful and accomplished
girl, Miss Juliana Stevenson. She is described as having very regular
features, a complexion of dazzling fairness, deep blue eyes, and
auburn hair flowing in curls upon her shoulders. She was a good
musician, playing the organ at her church, and educated carefully in
every respect. Her knowledge of English history was considered
something phenomenal.

Thomas King Carroll early won the affections of this lovely girl, and
they were married by Bishop Kemp before the youthful bridegroom had
completed his twentieth year.

Those that care for heraldry may be interested to know that at
Baltimore may be seen the eight coats-of-arms belonging to the
King-Carroll family, of which Miss Anna Ella is the eldest
representative.

When the question came of Miss Stevenson leaving home, her especial
attendant, a bright colored woman, had been given her choice of
remaining with Dr. Stevenson's family or accompanying her mistress.
The poor woman was greatly exercised in choosing between conflicting
ties.

Mrs. Carroll was accustomed to describe to her children, with much
feeling, the scene which followed. Sitting in her room she heard a
knock at the door and in rushed Milly, with her face bathed in tears,
and throwing herself at Miss Stevenson's feet she exclaimed "Oh,
mistis, I cannot, cannot, leave you!" It was a moment of deep emotion
for both mistress and maid. Milly followed Mrs. Carroll to her new
home and became the old mammy, the dear old mammy of all the Carroll
children.

Her daughter Leah was born on the Kingston plantation, and then her
granddaughter Milly, who in later times clung to the changing fortunes
of the Carroll family, and is at this day a devoted attendant on her
invalid mistress, Miss Anna Ella Carroll. A visitor to the modest home
in Washington, now occupied by the Carroll sisters, is met at the door
