There arc few hostel rics of the old j fashioned -tree inn pattern loft in j Merry England, being displaced by ! great red brick abominations, where a ! guest is ticketed o?r like ?mo mmate ; of a splendid penitentiary^ b?t t]>o Nags Head, a cruaint, old-time tavern or. the left bank of the Thames, chiefly ! frequented by artists und fishermen, re I tains all the chr:rr;is of a last century abode for the weary traveler. ! There Arthur Dun bar ? etook himself when he left .Tohn Barlow*s hospitable roof. His room was a spacious apartment, charmingly furnished in antique style, with a square four-post bed whose snow-white curtains revealed in spot less purity the lavender-scented sheets. Outside tlve windows of the apartment was a 'one- balcony, up whose tapering pillars woodbine and honeysuckle climbed, ladening the air with their rich perfume?below, the river. It wa-siathcgloam of one eveninef?ve days after he had left Wilkmghhy farm, that the young" American sat in his pleasant chamber smoking a cigar and thus pondering- over events with the listless indifference of one at peace with the world. Why had ho taken up his habitation at this out-of-the-way place instead of winging his way to the fair cities of Eu rope be h tul come so far to see? He woe trying to answer this question to bis own satisfaction. Could it be that this blue-eyed English girl, with her lovely face and tender ways, was chain ing- him to the spot? Did he care for her more than he had at first supposed? And. if he did, after her coldness to hhn on Saturday a:xl Sunday last, was he weak enough to hanker after her? All of which conundrums lie was obliged to answer in tlie amrmativc? Kate Gr?bame had become, even in the short period of their acquaint ance, very dear to him. What a fool he was, to be eure, when there was so lit tle chance of successi be would break tl*e spell end start ofF to Paris on Mon day. Meanwhile, if lie should chance to meet her in his rambles, he would try and get at the bottom of lier real sent-monts towards him, without abso lutely compromising Idroceli. And to night John Barlow was corning tu sup with him on his way back fr< m Cbert .sey market. .. Perhaps he might glean some tidings from him. A?> fur the Frenchman^ be was not half a bud sort of fellow, but certainly not the kind of man that iva*'; Gr?bame would appre ciate, who doubtless bad shown liim sotne civility in trying to escape his own attentions. Liad that raeddlesome oid maid, mademoiselle, poisoning the girl's mind? Weil, he would pump Farmer Karlow and perhaps leurn some thing. These re?ectione were broken in Upou by tlie clatte/of the lioofs of the farroer*s cob, and in ttve minutes the two men were grasping- beads. Slipper wae laid in the sanded parlor? rtkI a rare, toothsome rneui it was, pre pared by the landlady's own hand?and Wtton it was over, they adjourned to Arthur's own apartment. *What shall it be, Farmer?wine or spinta? cigars, of course?" Arthur asked with hospitable intentions. "No wine nor r^>irits for me, young fir; with your permission 1*11 stick t'> the brown October ale; an* as for cigars, they are only ?t for boys an'women folk, and I rend hi the papers that great POXDEUiXO OVE3 EVKXTS. fedies in London have taken to smok ing em, the brazen hussies! lint tell t Mistress Turner, thy landlady, lad, to bring me a elay pipe an' an minee * Bristol bird's eye, an* mayhappen j blow a cloud \\V ye.** V> hieb simple demand was at onte at- j tended to.

A NEPIIEW Without any great c?Tort od Arthur Dun bar's part, he was cnabh-d to catch ?' a glimpse of the speakers for the scats ** of the "'porch projected beyond itscon- i lino-;, inni the figures were sitting1 in the 1 broad glaiv of the moonlight. f One was undoubtedly L? <>n cTEstrc ville: tho other, u dark, swarlhv, for- *? ons oki maki I never came across, surely.** I "And your own wife and daughter?"

"No, they bean't. atr' they never will j he as long as her has a father to keep ; hey out o' harm's way, I didn't know j as it was safe for me to go to market i to-day, but I'm fit peace about that now, for I seen him in Chertscy juct afore I started this evening." "Chertscy ! What was be doing there?" "How should I know'? Mayhappcn getting1 his hair curled." Thus for an hour they chatted to gether, the yeoman getting more and more despondent over his household troubles. Suddenly a bright thought struck Arthur Dunbar. it was evident that Miss Grahame wad unhappy and needed a friend's sympathy. Who more proper to play the part of a consoler than him self? The difBculty was m securing un interview, for his pride would hardly permit him to face Mme. Caaapignon after her ungracious manner towards him, and he felt assured that if he were to present himself boldly at the farm house a tete-a-tete with the young lady would never be accorded him. Why not make a confidant of tl>e good natured farmer? lie would do so. "Mr. Marlow," be began, in a hesitat ing, difSdent wav, "I am abad hand at asking favors; but yourldrv*^ess to mc, a total stranger, emboldens me to be lieve that I should not ask one of you in vain.* "You aro right, lad," was the hearty response. "I know what thee mean, so dunnot blush to thy cars in tolling me." "I never thought you guessed ?** Dunbar cried. "Of course thee didn't. Poor chap, so many miles away from his kith an' kin ! Mo y i i ap thee hast a mother?"' Quite mystified by the farmer's singu lar remarks, Arthur replied: "Yes, I have v. mother.*" "Ad' love her dearly? Aye, I thought so. Mayhap, too, thy father be dead?" "Yes, he died when I was a boy.*" "I guessed as much. Now hearken, lad. It wasn't always os mo an' Sarah had only one chick to comfort us. Years ago we had a little boy, but tie wlvo gave took him away from us. Poor little chap, he fell from a tree ' bruire his back, for l>e was aye a daring lad to climb, an' we laid him to rost in tho God's-acre of Sunbury church. Now, see here, that little lad might a growed to*be a man like you?might a traveled to foreign parts like you?might a fell into difhculties like you?well, # he had, an' your good father had been alive, do you think he*d a gWen him a helping hand?" "1 am sure of it. He was a g?nerons man." "An' that's just what I'm s going to do by thee. So dunnot beat about tlje bush, but just open thy mouth wide an' say 1k)\v much.."' As Barlow spoke Ixj drew from his breeches pocket a long leathern bag and began to fumble with a roll of notes and gold. "I sold a stack of wheat to-day," he added, ftso thee needn't be afeard to speak out?*1 Arthur grasped the yeoman's hand. "My dear kind friend,*1 lie said, "yon quite mistake ray need. I am not in want <"f moneys iu fact I have more of it than I have occasion for; but J shfdl never forget your open-hearted kind ness. * "Not wont money! Then what the devil dost ti?ee want?** John Bnrkrw burst forth in & maze of surprise. "I want to secure an interview with MissCrahamc when your French friends arc not present*" John's reply was a long low whistle. "Can it be done?" Arthur demanded.

They were conversing in the French language, with the usual reck- I lessness of persons shaking their own : tongue In a foreign country, but were i reckoningw?thout their host, for Arthur ! Dunbar understood every word they j said. "And you think the young American ! m your road? Well, we must get rid of j him," the older man was saying. "C-et rid of him, uncle-! Ton speak 1 like the ri 11 ai In a cheap novel. No> no! Lurking and kidnaping are things of the past, and I do not suppose you wish to try your hand at murder." "Dah, no! But surely you and I haro j brains enough to allure him away, j You are quite positive that he is still ?n tlie neighborhood?*1 ''Certain. One of the laborers told me yesterday that he saw him that morning in a skiff out on the river/' "It is very aggravating, certainly*, but how did Mist? Or?bame get to know that he bad not gone away?" "Why, she was with me when the stupid fellow blurted it out." "? can't for the life of mo think why, with your opportunities, you have failed to win }>or affection. You have had better chances than the Yankee." ' 'Yes, but you don't know Kate Gra narne. Why, man, I would as soon make love to nn iceberg. She is defi cient in appreciation?my best bom mots fall flat, nry compliments are wasted, my attentions are despised. If I recite poetry to her, she }*awns; if I am hu morous, she weeps> if I am sentimental, she smiles. What can one do with such a girl? I confess that I would a tliou sand times rather pay my addresses to the pretty little rusti?, the daughter of tlie house." "Ah, you have been fool enough todo so. Peste' I see it all now?no wonder you have failed." "Uncle, I assure you?" "Sec here, Leon Jobard, ? know your shallow character too well to trust you. Imbecile that you arc, do you suppose your Aunt-IIelene gave her hard-earned savings to deck you out like a nobleman ha order that yon might play the gallant to a farmer's daughter? When I told her that Sir Harry Granarne was yet living, and that his girl. Kate, would after all be a great heiress, and she sug gested that you should capture the prize, I gave an unwilling consent to the proposition. Now, young man, if I have any influence with your aunt, you shall pack off back to your place be hind the shop-counter which you never ought to have left." j "Peste! my uncle, there is no reason ing with you: the girl is adamant, I tell you. Moreover, I was not the first in the field. This American?n 'Pshaw! we will arrange that mat ter, if you think there is a chance for you. What so easy as to?tonneres! I have an idea?an inspiration?what wort of a person is this Dunbar?" "Oh, a great, strong, hulking-?" "I moan as to his disposition. Is he one who is likely to l>c alive to his own interisti?, or some soft fellow over- I burdened with an exacting conscience?" "I cannot see what you are driving at; but I should imagine that be is not over well oit, and probably not incom moded with, scruples, it woukl be something unusual, wouldn't it, to find a Yankee who was not open to a smart ?eoir "You are right Now, Leon, I don*t wish to hurt your feelings, but I've no faith in you.

Arthur Dunbar was a man of quick resolves* Ho would beard this fion in his den. Little did Letra TTEstrevilla think oe he plodded bis way back to the farm house that the victims of his small mal ico and his worthy uncle were en tering into an alliance offensive and defensive.

I ' S \i S Id e r *2 An Unfulfilled Threat. Wo sec Governor Tiilman an nounces that his policy will be to get out of* the way of L. W. Youmans and to refuse to hear or notice any thing he has to say until Colonel You mans has retracted or pro7ed the charge of falsehood he made against the (?ovetnor ata meeting at llidgc way m May IJS90. This is silly and childish. It. is made more siily and childish by the fact that the governor has already this year departed from the rule he says he has established. At the meeting at Hampton, the first this year at which Colonel You mans has npoken, Governor Tiilman, in closing his own speech, referred sarcastically to Colonel Youmans asa man who was ?bout to burpt with a speech against him (Tiilman) and who wonld have to be received. Lie sat on the stand during part of Col onel Yonmane' speech and interrupted him frequently, abruptly and rudely. The trouble was lie got the worst of it every time. Youmans was as courtly a? any beau of the old time on dress parade and cool as the pro verbial encumber, but he basted and roasted the governor, not only m words and from records, but with inflections of the voice and facial ex pression and gestures. As we re member, the governor retired before Colonel Youmans finished or about the time he finished. At Charleston Governor Tiilman let it be understood that he would have remained through* Youmans' speech but for the telegram regarding the Edgefield lynching re ceived on the stand and demanding his attention. It will be remembered that at King stree the governor said lie was leav ing the stand because he was hot and tired and had already heard Youmans two or three ?irnos. The governor's organ, however, gave a cock-and-a bull story about a plot to betray him into a vioh-nt reply or a personal as sault to give the fiiteen or twenty antis an excuse to murder him and his three or four hundred followers. On the j top of all this, the governor comes at Conwayboro' with a revivai of his old threat made at Ridgeway two years ago that he would not notice or hear any thing L. W. Youmans said 1 because at the ti.ne Youmans gave him the lie?which Youmans denies do;ng. It is all too thin. The floundering and splashing are ridiculous. Gov ernor Tiilman has ca?led people pcrjn rers, has made wholesale charges of corruption, imbecility and cowardice, ! has denounced an ?rdire legislature as driftwood and has scattered insults, J insinuations and charges right and lelt. It is too late for bim to get on his dignity now about that kind of thing, especially as ho has al ready and frequently violated the! determination ho says he made twoj years ago. We do not believe Governor Tiil man is afraid of physical violence. We know there is no reason for lrm to be. The truth is, we think, he has not the nerve to lake his own medi cine, lie can not stand being held rp to the ridicule and derrsion of a Crowd as he tries to hold other msn. Ilo became "rattled'" hero and at Edgefreld by some demonstrations and remarks against him and he can not sit steady and hear the steady stream of sarcasm and exposure that You mans pours on him AH the facts seem to indicate that that is the truth of the matter. The worst part of it all is the quantity arid variety of excuses given by the governor and his friends. It is something like Iiis free passes. First we were told he used them to save the State the cost of his trans portation. Then he said he had used the passes and was- sorry for it, that taking them W3S the mistake of his life. Jiater on ho says ho used the panses and isn't ashamed of it. This latest idea about leaving Pfands where Youmans is to speak because of en alleged insult of two years ago is about as pitiful and child ish as the Register's assassination btory.?Greeviile News.

A card in the Columbia Register/ datod at King^reo and signed with asterisk*. Peeks to explain the governor's action in leaving the stand. Till man's* action, the writer says, saved Colonel L. W.

He soc? on to explain that Yoamana, otherwise a high tohed gentleman. 13 a monomaniac' on the subject of Tillman, and because Tillmaa has on different occasione* deeply wounded Youmans's vanity. Restive under this sting. Youmaos* entertains for Tillman a deep seated and undying hatred., which prompts the' most bitter, canatie and vituperative" abuse cf Tiiiman. Yoomans, the' j article alleges, carries a piste! and a stick ?:? as to always be in rcadiuess for a personal encounter, which he proposes to precipitate sooner or later. I man's temper, the writer goes on to" say, is none of the- longest, and some of Youmans's tirades may arr,?ise him tor rescu'mont. The result, the other day, says the writer, w?>oMi have been a rioif and but little would '?ave been left 0/ Yoamans. All ibis ia given gratattens?y by aC anonymous correspondent. Whether or not there is anything in it is impossible' to say. It does not, however, coincide' with tho reasons that 'he governor himself gave for icarios the stand, and of course is to be takon as a private* ! theory by the correspondent. But aftor ail, it is rather *oo early ttf s'zo up the exact fit cation. The governor's rca-on for leaving may have been jUrft what, he stared, and ifit was, ? it is not diuic.it to juh'ify his action* ; under the circumstances, lie had heard Toumans before, and expected to hear him again. Owing to the limited time at his disposal, possibly he waff not willing to etiler into *c expended discussion on I bit occasion, but pre ferred" to postpone it nn'ii a more favor able opportunity, after Lis return from Chicago1. But have it out with Youmans, Till man must sad will. Th's, we are* sa'wfied,- is the sentiment or a majority of both factions, and while we do not believe that a settlement of the trouble will necessarily result in a personal encounter, even it it should, a fair and square stand up or back down beforef Youman's arraignment are the only al ternatives that are left to the governor. ?Yorkville Enquirer.
