<*fai-?n^ had "the stain of her kusbana's blood
coif
?- ;*Agnes> "with ike widow's entire approval,
?i?cictbe money to the Children's hospital;
encl spent it in audmg to the number of the
teds.
.Jfcfc spring of the new year the marriage
took place.- At the sp?cial request of Agnes,
-:ihe members of ito family -were the only
:^w?sons pre??rtr at the ceremony; the three
*:"c?^dren"?cted as bridesmaids. 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. Wont
.- T?n tel? me whether she made any confession
ioyou?*
*Nb conscious confession, Agnes-and there?
fore no confession that I need distress you by
repeating." * .
cDid she say nothing about what she saw or
beard on that dreadful night in my room?''
"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.

~* Is there no explanation of the mystery of
the Haunted Hotel? !
Askyourscif if there is any explanation of
the mystery of your own life and death.
Farewell.
THB END.
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.

AN AMERICAN SERIAL !
A Romance of New England Life.
BY CHAHIsBS J. BBIsIsAMY,
Editor of the Springfield (Mass.) Daily News.
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.
