' "itmJ “There are six of us 1” said Fenelia Greyton;“and nothing to live upon.” She' looked around upon the mst of the Grevton family with the tragic air of a modern Medea. . The Greytona lived in a pretty old manor house on the Bloomingdale road just a pleasant drive out of town. They liked pretty draperies, and cul tivated rare roees, and }>ainted lovely little amateur pictures, and basked, in a sort of unthinking way, in life’s sun shine. They didn’t know quite how much income they had, nor exactly where it came from. They only knew that everything was in the hands of ‘‘poor papa's lawyer” —a darling, white-hair ed old philanthropist, who was devot ed to tne heathen, and who olliciated as Secretary to half a dozen foreign missionafry associations. And when ever they wanted money they went to him for it. And one day, when Mrs. Greyton and her daughter Lilia went to the city ofHce with a bundle of unpaid bills to get Mr. Framingham to write a check for them, the door was pad locked, and a little paper notice “To Let” was lacked upon it. Where had Mr. Framingham gone? Nobody knew. When would he return? The pub lic was densely ignorant on that sub ject. Why had he gone? And in answer to this auettion there was a very uni versal shrugging of shoulders, and a whisper about a general “smash up.” Poor Mrs. Greyton! She and Xdlla were both as ignorant and inexperi enced of the world as a pair of white kittens, and it was some time before she could comprehend that Mr. Fram ingham was a thorough faced villain, and that she and her Tittle Hock were penniless. “What shall we do?” murmured Mrs. Greyton, after she had wept through her whole supply of pocket handkerchief!. ^ ; “Couldn’t we sell our hapd-painted china?” said Clarice, a swarthy browed girl of eighteen. “I designed every piece myself. And Mr. Favalli said— “Pshaw 1” curtly interrupted Fen- ella. “Just look at the china stores, crowded full of far liner work. Poor Clariel they wouldn’t pay you the S lice of the»mineral paint it took to o them for your plaques ami vases." “I can do art embroidery very nice ly," suggested Mona, a tall, shy girl with liquid black eyes, and jetty hair growing low on her forhead. “The embroidery market is over full,” said Fenelia, who was the incar nation of common sense for the fami ly. “If you could do housework now, Mona—” ~ : -A Mona looked down at her slim’ white hands, all sparkling with rings, and shuddered. But Bess, the youog^t. cama brave ly to the rescue. “The first thing,” said she, “is to send all the servants off except Ann. We can’t afford to nay four girls and a man any longer. “But wno is to keep the garden in order,” cried Clarie, "if we discharge the man?”, “It must go without being kept in order,” said Bess, “or else we must do it ourselves." “My poor roses!" sighed Mrs. Grey- ton. “Mamma’s roses shall not sulfer,” said Lilia. “I will look after them myself." - “And old Mrs. Playford, who spends a month with us every summer?” said Mona. “And the Bidgood girls, who always invite their friends here to the midsummer picnics- and all the peo- le who drive out from the city to unchesand teas ” “W® must make a clearance of the whole of ’em!” said Fenelia, crisply— “unlen, indeed, they would like to make a business matter of it and pay their board.” , “Oh, Fenelia!” cried Mrs. Greyton. “Well, why not, mamma? So far as I can see, we haven’t got money to buy our own bread anu butter- so how can we afford to order ices, and frosen puddings, and pates de foie gras for other people? But if we had a regular income, I am almost sure, with Ann’s help that we could set a very nice table for boarders.” Lilia looked terrified “Mamma,” said she, “has it come to this?” Bess frowned savagely. “LUla,” nid she, “don’t be a fool unless you think you would like starved And while the family were qtill in conaniitteeof-the-whole, old Mrs. Playford’s huge, old-fashioned ba rouche rumbled up to the door, with * Leaning Tower of Pisa strapped on behind in the shape of trunkal “Tm a little earlier than usual, my " said she, with a smile the golden hinges of her after e moat ghastly fash it longer in IS ! to always sure of a welcome hers Mrs. Greyton was about to reply, when Fenelia stepped forward. “Then you haven’t heard of it?” laid she. “We are ruined, Mrs. Play ford. Old Mr. Framingham has ipent all our money and gone to Australia. We can’t entertain company any lon ger. But if you would like to hoard here, at a reasonable compensation, we shall be glad to receive you, and give you all the comforts of a home. Mrs. Playford’s jaw dropped; she turned a sickly putty color. “John, John!” she cried to the man; “you peedn’t unstrap tho«e trunks. 1 have so many friends who are anxious for my society, that really I am not at liberty to accept { our Very singular proposition” . (ia Amelia). “Of course” (to Mrs. Grey ton) “I sympathize deeply with you, but we all know that riches nave wings, and I never did put any confi dence in Mr. Framingham as a busi ness man. So sorry that things should come to such an awkward complica tion!” “There she goes -the old harridan! said Mona, as the withered hand waved itself from the carriage win dow, half-way down the drive. “She has lived upon us for six summers, and now she wouldn’t fling one of us a penny if were starviug!” Old Mrs. Playford was better than an advertisement in the newspapers The Bidgood girl came no more; the city people kept sublimely away. The old adage concerning the flight of jrats from a falling house came strictly true. “Kosa Bidgood hasn’t even come after that conserve of rose-leaves I promised her,” said Mona, sadly. “And I gave five dollars|for the spices and essential oil, and I dried the jac queminot and neil leaves so carefully and Clarie painted such a beautiful butterfly jar for itl” “Can I have the pot-pourri, Mona?” asked Bess, suddenly. “Yes, if you want it,” answered Mona, with a shrug of her shoulders. “We can’t £at nor drink dried rose- leaves.” “Perhaps we can," said Bess to her self. A ad she rummaged out divers and sundry rare old porcelain jars and vases^Jrom the family stores, filled them with the sweet, strangely-scent ed mass that Mona had concocted, and carried them quietly to town. It smells exactly like Mrs. Grey ton’s drawing-room at the manor house here!” exclaimed Ferdinand Houghton, as he entered the studio of Miss Malvina Morris, a fair feminine sculptor, who had some very original ideas of her own, and was on ‘‘hail- fellow-well-met” terms with all the other artists of both sexes. She was neither young nor pretty, yet every one liked Miss Morris. Well, I should think it might,” said she. “Doyou see those wine jars on the shelf?” “Of course I do. What are they?” “They are filled with conserved rose leaves. Mona Greyton made them. Bess, the second sister, wants me to sell them for her. lieal old porcelain —leaves full of the subtlest scents of Bendemeer. Will you take one at ten dollars, Ferdy?” “Then it's true?" said Houghton “About their financial troubles? Unfortunately yes.” said Miss Mal vina. - 4 ‘I only wish I-could help them. Come, buy the pot-pourri—there’s a good fellow!" It's may last ten dollar bill,” said Ferdinand, “but here goes! - Mona Greyton is an angel. Do you suppose, Miss Mally, she would accept a poor artist like me, with no particular in come and nothing to five on?” “Try it and see,” said Miss Morris. “But I’m not half good enough for her.” "Possibly,” acceded Miss Malvina. “But there are five girls, you know, and nothing to live on.” So Ferdinand bought the pot pourri, and rode out at onco to the manor house. “Your uncle, sir, wants to see you up at the house,” said the groom who led out his little gray nag. ‘I can t stay this morning,” said Houghton. “I’m in a hurry. “Bi “ effort in was just ia time.” So there was an end of the Greyton trouble*. They kept the old manor house. Ferdinand Houghton set up his studio there in one of the great north-lighted rooms, and Mrs. Hough ton makes pbt-poum every year of rose-leaves. And as fast as the other girls marry off—which is By no means a slow, busi ness, for they are every ut it’s some very particular busi- ness,” said the man, running down ihe pavement after him. “Oh, hang business!” said Hough ton. And olf he rode. Mona was in the garden with a basket, gathering 11101x5 rose leaves. She ijiought the pot pourri question promised favorably. Clarice was painting desperately away fit old India ginger jars, up stairs. Fenelia was writing an advertise ment, “Boarders Wanted,". for the paper. “The house is as big as a hotel,” said she. “Why not make some use of it?" Mona Greyton listened withsmiles and tears to Ferdinand Houghton’s vehement proposal. “But what could we live upon?” said she. “Why, I could paint pictures," said this sanguine young wooer. “I’m sure to sell them at a tearing big nrice as soon as my name becomes a little better known; and I’ll have your mother and all the girls to live with us.” “Oh, Ferdinand?” said Mona, half laughing, half crying. And then the young artist knew that he had not pleaded in vain. “And it's all owing to the pot pourri,” said she, “the sweet, poetical pot-pourri. “ “Ev , to the tale when the young man came home, late in the moonlight, with his heart full of love affairs. “Humph!” said Uncle Barlow. “How many pictures did you sell during the past year?” “Two, sir.” “At how much?” . “Seventy-five dollars each,” reluc tantly admitted Ferdinand. “Humph'” again grunted this re lentless old Knadamanthus. “And you expect to maintain a wife and her mother and four sisters on a hundred and fifty dollars a year?” “I shall manage to maintain them in some way, sir," said the un- abashed r nephew. ’ ‘There’s always the Far West, you know.” Uncle Barlow laughed. “I think we can manage to do bet ter than that for you, you young scamp’’ said he. “If you had turned back this morning when I sent for you, instead of pelting off to the manor house as if it were a question of life or death, you would have learned that old Framingham had been overhauled in London, en route for Van Dieman’s “The Greyton’s d “Himself and Uucle Barlow. “We had a cable tele gram® at 11 o’clock.

C., July 18.—The State of today says a good many peo ple in this State who liave not been Keeping up with the flight of time will no doubt be very much surprised to know that the State constitutional convention, about which so much talk has been indulged in, is only seven weeks off. The date for con vention to assemble and begin its work is September 10. Every one seems to be talking of the convention os if it were at least four or five nqonths before it will assemble.

The first condition includes two-thirds and pos sibly more of the State. Lice on cotton are still destructive in Pickens and Greenville Counties, 1 where lice were never before known. There was a severe wind* storm, ac companying a thunder storm, on the 8th, (Monday) most severe over An derson, Abbeville, Pickens, and Ai ken Counties, where trees and fences were blown down, crops leveled and much green fruit blown off the trees. As the corn was not in tassel it straightened up again; there was a wind storm with hail in Kershaw County on the 9th that damaged corn which had not been laid by as it can ery thing ■efimina- ry to the holding of the cohyention is tin in erefore obvious to all. There is no time to be lost by any one. The appropriation for the holding of the convention is only $30,000. The expenses per day, not including print ing or anything of that character, will amount to over $400. If the con vention sits any length of time it will be absolutely necessary to go beyond the appropriation. It was thought that the convention would be power less to appropriate any more money, but it seems that, being a supreme body, it has the right to do anything that line by passing an ordinance, id this will doubtless be necessary, for it is thought that the convention will sit for a longer period than was first supposed. It will likely be in session till the time for the assembling of the Legislature. Preparatory to the general election which will decide wno shall be the delegates' sitting in the convention will come the primary election order ed to be held by the Democratic State committee on the 30th inst. This election is now only eleven days off and the preparations for its holding are being rapidly concluded. Secre tary Tompkins, of the committee, is now busy having bundled up the cop ies of the order published below, the blank tally sheets and poll lists, and copies of tne new “Constitution of the Democratic party of South Carolina,” adopted last September, t i The following is the paper to be sent out, referred to above: A primary election is hereby ordered to be held in every county in this State on the 30th day of July next, at which every white voter in this State shall be entitled to vote, who shall make pledge to the managers conduct ing (he election that he will support the nominees of such election on the day of the election to be held on the third Tuesday "m Angus?, Tor the dele- gates to the State Constitutional con vention. Each county executive committee shall appoint three managers and one clerk to bold such election; two of the managers shall be Reformers and one manager and the clerk shall be Con servatives, or vice versa. The polls shall be opened from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. Each candidate for the Constitu tional convention shall at least ten days before the said primary election file his pledge with the chairman or secretary of the county Democratic executive committee that he will abide by the result of the election and sup port the nominees of the party, and no vote for any candidate who has failed to sign such pledge shall be counted. To prevent the single popping of candidates no vote for delegates shall be counted which does not contain the names of delegates who hayp signed the pledge the same number as the delegates tq which said county is enti tled to under the act calling the con vention. The second primary shall be held on \ugustl3, if necessary, according to the rules of the party, and the same managers shall serve. All existing rules of this committee heretofore adopted are hereby affirmed, when not inconsistent with the foregoing.

There was generally less than an average amount of sunshine over the entire State, and this condition was said to have been on the whole beneficial, especially so where there was a lack of rain, as the clouds pro tected the crops from’' the withering effects of the hot sun. The time included within the week is ordinarily the period greatest heat in the State, During the remainder of the month and during August there is a slow lowering of the normal temperature, averaging-, less than a degree a week until September when the the lowering becomes more rapid.

The mean’ temperature of the week for the State was about 82 l and the normal for the same period is approx imately 83. The rainfall for the week was slight ly deficient, but very unevenly dis tributed. Tne showers on the 8th (Monday) were quite general, and in places very heavy over the western and central counties and light along the coast. They were very beneficial where sufficient in amount. There were showers in the extreme eastern counties on the 12th, 13th and 14th, and light partial showers in the north western and northern counties on the 13th and 14tlL The heavy rains on the 15th will be embodied in the next bulletin. In cluding with the week’s rainfall that which fell on the 8th, and excluding that of the 15th, there were eight places that reported over 3 inches the week; 19 with amounts betwr- and 2 inches; and 19 with 1 inch.
