It was an heroic action on her part, for she hated the game in which she only suc ceeded fa rapping her toes and jarring her arms, while -she was in constant the hot sun playing havoc j .U^Hl^ter-compIexion?foe, you see even ine very best French creme de rouge * ^ cake and crack in the heat ?Bufr her martyrdom was of short duration, for hardly had the game be gun than the station fly from Chertsey drove up to the door and deposited her expected nephew.

This was not at all Intended it, for she well un , the importance- of first impres sione, and It was a little aggravating to j Sad her d ash ing nephew's advent robbed of its eclat. Sut if the young1 people wcr-e not demonstrative in their observations they bad their eyes open nevertheless to the glory of the arrival. They* saw a >g gentleman, dressed in speck-and new clothes, with mauve kid patent leather shoes and a scarf cerulean blue, bestudded with a sfsr Jin, which glittered like a ?re? fc4wy?wfo the carriage and embrace *~ mademoiselle.

Just then a maid-servant came across the lawn with a message fur. Kate. 'Ma'mselle wishes you to come ic i^. -and be introduced to tbc new young gentleman, miss, if you please." Kate stood irrresolute. 'She could mafceerery excuse for the governess' ^Jongiabit of exacting obedience from wyounjf people, but this subversion of etiquette was very annoying to her, --^particularly when she felt that Arthur's ? - brown eyes were 3xed upon her with uu inquiring expression, ' v ^The saltan has flung down bis handkerchief; will you not pick it up, ?Iiss Gr?bame?" bunbar said, with a grin. This decided her. .jilease tell mademoiselle that we are m the middle of a game now, and that I hope she will bring her nephew - out to join us," she said, with quiet de terminati on. You've done it. Miss Grahame,** Dua bar exclaimed, "for if that is not taken as a declaration of war, I am no true prophet. Well, remembor .that the stars and stripes will flutter beside the union jack if the lilies of France advance before hostile hosts." She knew there was a hidden mean lag in his words, for his eyes met hers a/be.spoke, ana there was in their ? brown depths a sympathy she could not (ail to read. % I *vHush!" she answered, in a whisper. ! *\" _ _ ' * None could notice in mademoiselle's manner as she advanced beside her nephew that chagrin was raging- in her heart, for with the gayest of smiles she I cried, taking- Kate's white hand play ! fully in hers: "As the mountain would not come to Mahomet Mahomet went to the mora ! tain. Permit mo, dear child, to intro ! duce to you my nephew, M. Leon d'Es ! tre ville.* The bow the gentleman made, as he raised his glossy black hat, wonld have roused tlte'^nvy of a dancing-rnaetcr? Be for rCci?e Barlow, its aristocratio grace simply overwhelmed her. finite made her best curtsey, and, without giving mademoiselle a chance of second consideration, both intro duced the voung Frenchman to Nellio and Arthur Dunbar. As the two men met face to face, Kate- could not but mark the contrast. It was like the chance encounter of t^o dogs?say Cessar and some littlo toy terrier?the one careless and digni fied; the other full of fun and grimace. Vet, for all that, Loon d'Estreville was a very handsome young fellow, with his delicate features and large, luminous dark eyes, if he had only gone to Regent street for e> tailor instead of to Shoreditch. "Noto," mademoiselle chirped, pleas antly, "von can enjoy a four-handed gana* Leon, ask Misa Granarne to be your partner, and see if y<w cannot bo a match, for Miss Barlow and her young friend." She emphasized the "her" so as to in sinuate that Mr. Dunbar must not con sider himself as one of the parlor party, I do not believe that there ever was a | game of croquet played where so much sma 11 feeling was exhibited as on this occasion, chiefly caused, I am sorry to say, by the reprehensible conduct of Arthur Dunbar, who would strike Leon's ball so viciously when tbc op portunity offered and make such a dis graceful mull of his attempts to ero- j quet Miss Gr?bame's, and did laugh so j hilariously when the young French- j ? man in trying to retaliate crashed the j I mallet down on his own shin, that even Kate was annoyed with him, and j, Nellio could have wept for vexation, j ? But now the dinner bell; and Kate Gr?bame had to endure the humilia tion of seeing the party separate, with- 11 out mademoiselle making the slightest j. sign of conciliation. This slight of one who had done her : such service cut the sensitivo girl to the i quick, so creeping to the governess' j ? side she whispered: <, "May I ask Nellie and Mr. I>unbar to i ? dice with us?** Mademoiselle Campigoon was petri- . fied at her audacity. "Kate Granarne, " sho demanded, ' "have you taken leave of your senses? ' I have s-uiFered anguish at your conduct < during the past twenty-four hours. To think that a young lady, who has en- ( joyed the careful training that you | have, should condescend to pick up a ( promiscuous acquaintance with o total stranger, an American, too, who may ( be a petty tradesman's eon for all you 1 know to the contrary. Is enough bo ' make one*s hair stand on end with hor- ' ror. What do yon suppose Miss Balder- < stone would say 'to such conduct? I am l sure It would nearly break her heart" | "But he has the manners of a gentle- ) men," Kate faltered. **So has my hair-dresser. Yet yen would not have me ask him tc dicneix would you?** ' Thus tho stomi swept over the poor girl, and she could only bend her head 1 like the tender sapling and let it pass by. ' "Mr. Dunbar leaves here on Monday, ( and perhaps we shall never see him * again/' sho said, ruefully, "and I only , wished to show him some attention for the great service he rendered me." ' The great service! He pulled a ' p*uppy-dog out of the river, and you 1 make as much f use about, it, as if be had ' saved your life."

"I shall spend the afternoon in writ- 1 mg to Miss Balderstone, and shall be denied the pleasure of accompanying < you. sir. Besides, your aunt has jest r been reading me a homily on the im- ] propriety of cultivating the acquaint- I ? ance of strangers." . It was a very saucy thing for the young lady to say, but she was at bay now, and, sweet as her disposition naturally was* I do nctt mean to main- 1 tain that she was a paragon of woman ly perfection. ' t A glance flashed between aunt and 1 nephew?a glance which said as plain ? as words on one part: "You have gone , too far," and on the other: "I know it," . and tho young Frenchman frankly ex plained: "My aunt forgets that abe is not in ' Franco, where they shut up young ! ladies in glass cases until they are old ( enough to be married.

Columbia, S. C, June 23. 1892. Fellow-Democrats of South Carolina : The wires have just announced the nom ination of Grover Cleveland for the Presidency of the United States by the National Democratic Convention at Chi cago. The Conservative Democracy of the State accept this announcement with joy, and will work for the success of the ticket against secret foes within tbe party, as well as outspoken oppo nents. We felt that the Democracy of South Carolina, the rank and file of the party, had been placed in a false posi tion by the recent Convention in Colum bia, dominated by Benjamin R. Tillman and his satellites, when it denounced Grover Cleveland as unworthy of Democratic confidence ; but the grand council of the Democracy of tho Union has giren back the answer to the b\uu derous charge by endorsing Grover Cleveland for tho highest office in the gift of his countrymen. Let us then inscribe upon our banners : Cleveland and Stevenson, Shenpard and Orr; Democracy and victory. The campaign has opened for St?de offices The State Democratic commit tee has appointed the county meetings, at which candidates for State offices, and none others, are allowed to speak, ?n August next, at a primary election, you wiil vote for delegates in your re spective counties, who will attend a State Nominating Convention in Sep tember ; and the September Convention will nominate the Democratic caodi iates for Governor, Lieutenant Gover nor, and the rest of the State ticket. Finally, in November next, at the gen eral election, you are to support, with your united votes, the candidates nomi nated by the September Convention igaiiist sach candidate? as may be nom inated by your old antagonist, the Re publican party, or by the Third Party, jommonly called the People's party, or by both. Since the redemption of South Caro lina in 187C, under the glorious leader ship of Wade Hampton, who bore rhe banner of the Democracy to victory r.ver ihe vile crew of Radical spoilsmen who had disgraced and well-nigh ruined >ur beloved S ate, our electious have been decided by the action of tho Dem ocratic party in its nominating conven ions, because the white people of South Carolina, remembering the period i)f Republican misrule, determined that there should be no repetition of its iingraceful history, and without distinc tion of clas3 or occupation supported at the polls true and tried Democrats to be their publio servants io the various .'ffioes of the State Government. And dthough most of the time tho Republi can party had the Presidency of the Federal Union, and a::eu;ptcd to re-es- j [abhob its foothold in oar State and j ihrcughout the South by trying to pass | idious election laws and force bills, these attempts of our enemies have been prevented by the Democrats of Con gress, who have always rallied to our assistance in every emergency, and bave defeated these dire designs upon rur prosperity ar.d peace: During four re^rs of the period alluded to Grover ?ieveUnd, the most illustrious De:no- j ;rat in our party, was President, j ?nd under his patriotic adminis tration of the Federal Government ! the sectional issue was laid aside, for he knew no North, no South, no East, no West, but ouly a united country. Dur ing his term of office the Radical lead ers no longer held Federal offices in South Carolina, and the Democracy of he Siate became further cemented and strengthened. In this condition we were invincible rrom attacks from without, and could mly become liajle to tho misfortune of liadical a3cendeucy if we divided among ourselves. The movement in which we i*k you toj?in with us is inspired ? - by a desire to prevent such a divis en of the Democracy, which by a chain o? events has become the danger of the a our. Four years ago there appeared on :he political arena io South Carolina au igitator, Benjam?n K. Tillman, who <trived to advance his own personal am bition by sowing dissension and discord tmong those who were brethren. Ad opting as tbe pretence for his canvass 'he cause of extending to tbe farmers idditional advantages for higher educa tion in agriculture, he advanced his .?eifish ambition by organizing a politi 3al faction, of which he was the head, whose stock in trade was abuse of those whom the people, the Democratic party in the State, by the voice of the party had placed in positions of responsibility and trust. Tbis was followed up in 1890 by the most disgraceful campaign in the history of our State. By his abuse of those chosen by you to administer our State affairs, and by his skillful combinations with Green backers and malcontents in our party, aud by divided counsels in our ranks, two years ago the State Administration | pissed into his hands. Upon becoming Governor of the State it might have! been expected by some that Mr. Till man would have exercised his high office in the interest of the whole people, aud for the good of tbe State. But, an for tunately, this man, who started with the assertion that he desired ho office except to bo a trustee of Clemson College, ?. sets his asm for another position for which his patronage aud the power of the Governor's office gives j him advantages in tlie race. The Agricultural College issue has served its purpose and the same remains unbuilt, and now there must be another issue raised?that of an attack upon the enterprises which have been organized within our borlers by capital at borne and from abroad. His inju dicious treatment of our finances hav ing reduced our resources, injured our credit at home and abroad and decreased the value of our bunds, he must raise funds to carry on tha State Government by bleeding the cori-orauons to make up j deficiencies i our incorno caused by J his mismanagement. Ti-e resuit i- that capital from abroad ? ceases ??i a gt'-jt measure to seek our borders z* it does other S t?tes in the South, and the scarcity of money occasioned by oir poverty and the low price of cot'on is therefore without relief ? from abroad I Such Ss ijie situation in South Car clins touyv. it cannot last, ?:owevcr, fr,r the innate good sens?? ir * patriotism of the masses of <?ur people can li ti e pended upon "j relievo us of tbc ?ncv ! bus of an unsatisfactory management of our State affairs and to restore South Carolina to the position she has hereto fore occupied since the restoration of democratic rule as a prosperous and progressive State emerging froci the disasters of war and misrule, determined to retrieve the fortunes of ali classes of her people "Politically the emergency is a grave one. The people, loyal in their hearts to the Democratic, party, have been treated with periodical dose8 of third partyism, and the executive himself in more than one public utterance has taken occasion to abuse the democratic party, if his interviews in the pre?s have ouoted him correctly, and he has not denied their accuracy in this porticular. But be must be judged also | by the utterances of his allies in polities who boldly announce doctrines at vari ance with time houored and time tested democratic principles, and while calling themselves democrats threaten to desert the party if their demands are not ac ceded '.o. We understand it is part of the program of this campaign that pro nounced third party men are to be per mitted to vote at democratic primaries to decide who shall be the democratic standard bearers in the coming election. "Now w? offer to you as demoorate trae and tried democratic standard bearers and we ask you as democrats not to imperil the vitory of 1876 by any alliance with the men whom third partyites are willing to support. Let us stand by the democratic colors and give our united support to the ticket which represents a solid democracy, true to principle and 'rue to party, and in doing so you wi!l bo true to your selves as men and C;...oliniau3. "As to the special State issues we announce our opposition to raising the poll tax to ?3, as advocated by Governor Tillman in his inaugural address and call your attention to the large amount now uocollected and the failure of all measures heretofnre adopted to collect this tax from delinquents and the fact that the enforcement of a larger tax would entail untold expenses upon the tax payers of the State. "We are opposed to increasing the powers of the Governor because he is not the master but the servaQt of the people and be should not meddle with other branches of the Srate government in violation of the constitution which prescribes that the legislative, esecutive and judicial department of the State government shall be distinct and forbids such interference. And wc arraign Benj. Ii. Tillman for violation of his duty under bis oath of office for undertaking to procure the electioo of a legislature subservient to his will and for assailing and endeavoring to in timidate the judiciary. Wc appeal to the manhood of the democracy to rebuke such arrogance and assumption of power. "We believe that the people of South Carolina are aroused to the situation. Our advices from all parts of the State point to the fict that the August primary will U?.'. the death knell of Tillmanism. All we ask is your UDifed effort for good government as against the tribe cf MTir:e seekers who are now enlisted wish Benj. Till man against the prosperity and peace of the Stats.
