There was no we?ding breakfast-and the honeymoon Teas spent in the retirement of a cottage jon the banks of the Thames. During the last few days of the residence of the newly married couple by the* river Bide, Lady 2?ontbarry's children were in? vited to enjoya day's play in the garden. The eldest girl overheard (and reported to her mother) a little conjugal dialogue which 7 touched on the subject of the Haunted Hotel. " "Henry, I want you to give me a kiss." "There it is, my dear." "Now I am year wife, may I speak to you .bout something?* . ^ "What is it? * ?Something that happened the day before that we left Venice. You saw the countess during the last six hours of her life.

"Nothing. Wo only know by the event that her mind never recovered the terror of IL* Agnes was not quite satisfied. The subject troubled her. "'Even her own brief intercourse with her miserable rival of other days suggested ques? tions that perplexed her. She remembered - the countess' prediction. ''"You have to bring Ipe to the day of discovery and to the punish m?cfcthat is my doom." Had the prediction ?imply failed iike other mortal prophecies?^ Or had it been fulfilled, on the memorable night when she had seen the apparition, and ?when she*faad innocently tempted the countess to watch her in her room? Let it, however, be recorded among the other virtues of Mrs. Henry Westwick, that she never again attempted to persuade her husband into betraying his secrets. Other men's wives, hearing of this extraordinary conduct (and being trained in the modern school of morals and manners} naturally re? garded her with compassionate contempt. They always spoke of Agnes, from that time forth, as rather an old fashioned person. # * ? M * ? ~ Is that all? . } That is ail ~* Is there no explanation of the mystery of the Haunted Hotel? !

SHE SAID THAT I WAS DHE AM I3SG The amber bea00 were Sitting From the meadow n;*viy mown 3fy love and I were sitting In the waning light alone. I told her of my passion, And the hope I had at stake ; She said that i was dreaming Ah ! let me never wake I The mellow glow grew dimmer -1 clasped her band in mine . The stars began to glimmer Above the drowsy pine. I said their beams were shining The brighter fer her sake ; She told me I was dreaming Ah ! let me nevsr wake ! I felt her fingers tremble ; Shy tear-drops I could see ; Her heart could cot dissemble The love she bore fer me. I whispered : "Were yon faithless, Sweetheart, my heart would break ; If loving is bot dreaming Ah, let es never veake !" Our State Contemporaries. Greenville Nezcs. In PIckens county, last week, within i ?few miles of where Waldrop, the white mao, was hanged by a mob of negroes, a oegrcr was arrested for an attempt to commit the same crime fer which tVal- ? drop died. His intended yietim was a white woman. Ia many similar cases in this State ic the past, summary pun? ishment has followed the capture of the assailant. But it was not so this time. ! There was talk of lynching, but the j negro was arrested and iodged safely in ? jail. j How far the prompt and eSc?ent ac- j tion of the cfScers cf the law in the j Waldrop lynching was ropousible for J this, cannot be told. It cannot be ! doubted that that example was effective j in restraining summary action in the i last instance. If Solicitor Orr had not ! promptly ferreted oat and started on ! the road to punishment, the ringlead ers of the Waldrop lynching, there j might have been another such crime on ? the fair name of Piekens. Hasty Legislation. Abbeville Ji?tdivm. During its recent session the Legis? lature was complimented by the news- j papers who favor extravagance, as a j working body. Well, it did work, but ; the work was hasty and ID many cases j ill-considered. Already a number of ; mistakes have appeared and when the ; laws of the session come before the j courts and the lawyers get a chance at : them the people v?iii soon ?sd that thc ; compliments of the body were nd de- j served. . One of the mistakes may cost the j people ?1000. "A joint re-o-utioa was '. passed directing the ?tafe Treasurer to ; issue to Mrs. Mary E. Fleming a bond ; for ?1000 in place of one destroyed. In ! the State Treasury at the present time j ia a handbill o??enns: a reward for the j retcro of this bond, alleged to hare been stolen in January, ?S*G. If the ; bond was stolen, the joint resolution : pimply ha? the effect of donating her ; $1000. The original bond rennins j good and the new bon i mast be is.-u-jd, ! and will be eouaiiy good!*' A little time end c^.re would Have avoided this mistake -?V.? tho expense of ; passing tha resolution weil ns the do- j nation of ^1000 would l?ive hoon sa "iee!. The last Legislature was undoubtedly j the most extravaeant body we have hud j nader Democratic rule. _ i Courts not Hespectcd. li^rrtKdl Sentinel. j Ii grows plainer and plainer as titn? ; rolls on ibat there i* a ?ar^e class bf people io this State who cherish no res? pect whatever for the dign-ry of our Trial Justice Courts. The numerous brawls, S?bts. cutting and shooting serapes indulged in under the eye of many of these officers is evidence soiiB cient to w?rmet this belief. The ne? groes perhaps behave better io the pres? ence of these justices than thc whites because they are aware (hat anything of so improper or unlawful nature precip? itated by them writ be ?uiiy and severely j punished The class of while people we have reference to, dv not take this view of their conduct and io conse? quence this disrespect to Triai Justices ?od their Courts increases, if the sys? tem is to be upheld and the dignity bf the Courts maintained matters will have to take a tarn or there will soon bo in? creased clamor for the abolishment of the whole system. An'hrton intelligencer. The tax levy for the present year for State purposes is five mills, or three j quarters of one mili higher than it was I last year. This is accounted for from the fact that the Legislature oppropri I ated fifty thousand dollars for pensions for Confederate Soldiers, with an in? crease also of thirteen thousand dollars for the South Carolina University. It is also expected that the phosphate roy? alty will /ali off considerably, so that it was not thought possible to get through on a smaller tax. If the Phosphate Commissioners Bill had passed the tax levy could safely have been put at four and one-half mills, but the majority of the Legislature thought it best to refuse an exclusive grant to a few companies, even if it did bring the State a larger som of ino nev. A Thousand Dollar Barn. Abbeville Medium. In the recent report of the operations of Claflin University tbe trust?es state that 'the stables and barns are old and need to be replaced by larger ones. One thousand dollars would be sufficient to put these buildings in good order.' It is passing strange that the last legislature, in its liberality, did not give this ?1000. It is the only omission to give anything asked that we can recall just now. It is true that times are hard but the idea seems to be that certain favored ?people are to have all they want. If the people don't look out, this ?1000 barn wtil be given to Claflin next year. If a set of representatives are sent to Columbia, at the next session, who will feel rich and able to afford fsuch luxuries, there is no question that this grand barn will go up. CtaSin also wants an annual appro? priation of $2000 to buy machinery and tools for the boys to work with. The work these boys do must be very hard. They are required to work fourteen hours a week. Again, some of the professors of this institution want their salaries increased. They'are only getting $1000 now and want ?1200 a year. It is said to be 'quite a hardship' to teach nine months for $1000. The trustees think a snia?? appropriation ?5000 will do them this year. Cla?kt is a colored institution. A thousand dollar barn to keep a mule in for the boy to work fourteen hours u week may be style but is a little too heavy for the present. The colored people of this country who live in poor cabins and work every day in the year have no money for this extravagance. Neither have our white farmers. If a professor cannot get along on ?1000, let him resign and get out of the way for some man who can make that sum do. It is the policy of the State to keep up this institution and yet it is said that a-separate college for-the farmers is too expensive. If tbe farmers who pay the bulk of the taxes submit to this state of things any longer they deserve ! all that has been said about them. Two Amendments to be Voted On. Two Joint R?solutions to amend the Constitution were passed at the late ses? sion of the General Assembly, and these proposed amendments will be submitted to a vote of the people at the next gen ! eral election! The first proposes to ! strike out Section 2 of Article X, which provides for the election every two years of county School Commission? ers. Should this measure be carried our School Commissioners will be ap? pointed by the Governor. The second proposes to make the term of the office of Probate Judges four years. ITEMS. The cotton crop of South Carolina this year will realize $25,000,000. The newly elected Comptroller-Gen? eral, Hen. J. S. Verner, of Oconee, is a worthy successor to Gen. Stoney. There is no denying the fact that the law against carrying concealed weapons is a dead letter. Whose fault is it? Hampton Guardian. Dr. A. J. China, of Samter, is eat? ing oranges and bananas of his own raising.-Press and Reporter. Congress is at work again. The contest for Carlisle's seat is now before the committee. Xhoebe claims that he was elected by a majority of six hun? dred votes. The Ohio Legislature, after a rous? ing debate, decides that Mr. Lamar is a traitor. Local business, says the Springfield Republican, will be attend? ed to later. Comptroller Trenholm's bauk bill contains several wisc things. One con? dition requires a director to take an oath to look into thc finances of his bank. Directors were never intended to be dummies. A spirited little woman, Mrs. Talia fero, nineteen years ola, cowhided a merchant, John E Clark, of Jackson? ville. Fla., last week. He had been talking about her and encouraged her husband to abandon her. Ho retreated in good order but with great haste. The war continues ia Columbia, i Rev. G. A. Blackburn.

T?i? ab<?7e Sketches, taken from among the Pictures appearing- in tlic Story. Trill sufficiently in eli ca?c thc Character of* the Illustrations}. COPYRIGHTED ?ND ILLUSTRATED. . This paper will shortly begin the publication of a Serial Story with the above title, and of intense interest. Each chapter is alive with excitement and the plot moves on with a power and spirit which will, we believe, make this one of the most acceptable serials we have ever offered in these columns. THE BRETON MILL Is a story that will satisfy the popular demand for intense interest in each installment. The scene is laid in a New England factory village. Both the emplo}'ing class and the class of the employed furnish actors in the thrilling romance, and the reader's interest will be closely held all through the changing scenes of the story. While not taking sides on the questions interesting working people, which are touched upon in the story, the author disse?s the pa? thetic elements of the life of the poor with fearless hand. Still his romance, after all, is a romance of love, and all else in the story is only introduced to solve the problem of one man's devoted and faithful nature. ?a ?g >s??
