The clatter of cups and saucers, the cheerful tinkle of silver against porcelain, the murruur of cultivated voices and occasional burata of chef rful laughter, announced that Mis. Daynor and her friends were making merry over their afternoon tea. Strangely eooagh, to the new comes, hesitating just outside the drawing-room doois, the pleasant medley of sounds did not seem re-, assuring ; she grew very pale, and a close observer would have noticed that her hands were trembling. Jt was too late, however, to beat a re treat, for the stately butler had aU ready drawn the curtains aside, aDd the next inoineut her own name ech oed on her ears : "Miss Eustace." A. sudden silence fell upou the group about the tea table, everyone seemed vaguely uncomfortable; ev ery one, perhaps, save the young hostess, who glided over the caipet with outstretched hand : "My dear Miss Eustace, I am glad to see you, come up to the fire ; the spring afternoons are still quite cool, and a bearthside chair is by no meaus to be despised. I believe you are acquainted with my friends : Lady Grant, Mr?. Geoffrey French, Miss Farsworthy Lady Adelaide Vane 1 Can I give you a cup of tea? Not any ? You will delight my husband, he says I have destroyed my nervous system by my daily li baf ons. How have you been amus ing yourself lately i Are you fond of teunis ?" And now for the first time Miss Eustace spoke, her heart was throb bing madly, but she gave no outward sign that she knew herself to be under inspection, she threw back her head with a little proud gesture and said, carelessly : 'I do not play, the game exhausts me ; my father has requested me not to." Lady Grant losefrom her seat. f visit her, Denham is a magnificent What enfrontery ! Wa9 it not en old place, a fitting ground for her oogh to possess a father whom so ' stately beauty ; but she and her fa ciety ignored, without dragging him j iter enjoy its splendor alone." bodily into the conversatisn I "Kit'( "Poor girl,'' murmured Mrs. ty, child,1' she said, gathering to- ; French, sympathetically. "I am gether her numerous belongings, "I , sorry for her, are not you, Nelly ?" must be going.'' j To her surprise the bitter expres- Nelly Farsworthy, from her sha-1 sion deepened about her compau dy corner by the hearth, glanced 1 ion's pretty mouth, and she said keenly at Mrs. Daynor. "Dear Lady Giant,'' she was say. icg with her pretty society smile, and quietly ignoring the fact that that worthy lady had arrived but a few minutes before Miss Eustace, "it would be selfish, of me to try and keep yon longer, your other friends might rise up and do me bodily in-i jury. Miss Farsworthy could have laughed aloud it was so like Kitty -butherheaweed cause her friend was do;ng battle ; she pushed back her chair and came forward into the light. "I, too, must tell you goodby,'' she said, languidly. "Mrs. French and 1 Da"e been ut since morning, ad must be getting home now." "Ah, I atn sort y. Lady Adelaide, must you be going? Do not know, I think your children grow more charming every day. I saw Bertie and May out driving yesterday, will you send them to see me soon ? Good afternoou to you all, and thanK you tor halving enlivened my loneliness." Nelly Farsworthy, glancing back as she left the coom, had the satis of knowing that Mrs. Daynor was preparing for a tete atete with that Eostace girl ; she had drawn her chair close to the hearth, the fire light was piaying on her sunbrown hair and casting quaint shadows on her earnest face. Her eyes were full of sympathy. "Were we not rather uncivil, leav ing all together V said little Mrs. French, as she settled herself back iu one comer of the Farsworthy carriage. "Uncivil f well, yes : I hope Kitty Daynor will learn not to invite guests to her house "whom the coun try does not recognize !" "Not recognize T that lovely creat ure 1 Impossible." 'Oh, 1 grant you she is beautiful. I never saw such wonderful eyes.'' "Bat so proud, so cold looking ! She is too young to be unhappv. Tell me her story, Nelly, we have a long drive ahead of a, and I should very much like to hear.'1 Nelly Farswoitby gazed thought fully oat ot the carriage window; she was a graceful, gentle looking girl, but just now her face wore so bitter an expression that Mrs. French exclaimed involuntarilv : "How like your father, I never saw the resemblance before. Now be a good child, remember that I am a 'stranger within your gates,' and tell me about Miss Eustace.'' "It is not eo interesting after all ; it you are1 bored, remember that 1 warned you. You raibt know that about twenty years ago old 8ir Hugh Eustace, the richest laud owner in the couutry, was killed by falling over a high c iff. His nephew, a wild, reckles.j fellow, who gambled and drank, and generally miscon ducted himself, and they say, no favorite of old air Hugh's, fell heir to the title and fortune. When the old man's body was picked up at the foot of Rolney every one. supposed his death to be accidental ; but af terwards, when it was learned that the uncle and nephew bad parted in anger that very morning, because of the older man's refusal to pay the younger one's gambling debts, peo ple began to grew suspicious. When it was furthermore made pablic that Stephen Eustace had been seeu in the vicinity of Rolney Cliff about the hour of the old man's accident, what had at first been mere conjee tnre chrystalized into positiva be lief. "There was uo proof of his guflt j he was never convicted ; but the county has ignored him socially ever since. His young wife died broken hearted, and his daughter, who was a mere child theD, has just returned from a foreign school, to find that in spitG of her father's great wealth, the county resolutely refused to with slow emphasis: "It is what she deserves ; the daughter of a mur derer has no social rights. She should not stand ou equal plane with us who have no stain upon our names." "Nelly," said the matton, impul sively, "does Rodger know her!" There was a moment's silence : hy do you ask ? ' "Because, forgive if I am wrong, but I have a fancy that Kodgers lovfs her aud that yon " "That I oppose his most excellent etioice? You are right, as yon al ways are. He met her in Paris last autumn, she is very beautiful, and he was young and impulsive, poor boy, it was not hard for her to win bim.' "Nelly, Nelly,'' said the older woman, "you are unjust. If they love each other why do they not marry ?" "Miss Farworthy blushed pain fully. "It is hard to believe, is it not, but she had the effrontery to reluse Rodger ! That girl to reject a Farsworthy !"' "You would not have had her ac cept him. would yon ?" "Ob, no, no; but when I think of her sending him away, ot her mak ing him wretched and unhappy, I do not know what I could say to her. Poor Rodger ! Ah, here we are!" The carriage swept grandly through the park gates, and a few minutes later drew up before the gray old hall. "At home at last," said Mrs. French, with a gratified sigh. "So bored, then ? My poor Ma bel, forgive me.'' "Not bored, but tired. Nelly, when you have dressed for dinner,'' they were wearily climbing tbe steps, "come into my room, I want to read you Harry's letter ; he sends all manner of messages to yon. Goodby until then." "Why did you come ? Oh, why did vou come V 4 And is this your welcome? Af ter so long an absence can you give me no kinder greeting I Why did I come! My tlarl;ng, did you think I could keep awaj- ? I told you I would foliow you. You see 1 hive kept my word." Miss Eastace shook her head, her pps were quivering, hr cheeks as white as the summer gowns she wore; when she spoke it was with a break in her usual tranquil voice : "I gave orders, my servants weie not to admit you." "Your servants?' his laugh ang out across the grassy lawn ; "1 may not be as well off as I usfd to be ; but 1 have enough left to 'dx' a sei vant or two." Her eyts had grown anxious ; "Not as well off as you used to be ! Have you quarreled with your fath er V "Not I!' he answered, but ins wardiy much vexed at the admis sion; "it is he, who is angry with mt! Myi ouduct of late has not found favor in his sight. What a dear old garden this is ; I remember I used to come here as a boy." She put up a trembling hand, as if to ward off his light speeches. "Rodger' her voice in its agoniz ed entreaty sent the warm blood sargiug to his heart; "did your father send you away because of me?'' His glance wandered down to hers; their eyes met ; his, bright with affection and uuselfish joy ; hers, dark with feeling aud some thing like shame. Suddenly, he stooped and clasped his around about her : "What is the use of all this nonsence ?" he cried, almost roughly ; "I love you ! You do not quite despise me. As tor your fathv, er there is none whom I revere and honor more ; I have always be lieve him innocent, as you know. Why should we not marry, and be 'happy ever after ?' " She clung to him, weeping pas siotiRtely. For one delicious mo ment she gave herself up to the sweet influence of his love. "You are so good,'' she murmured, brokenly : "I prayed for you not to come, bnt now you are here " "You will not send me away ? Ab, I thought you would repent ; fortune has always been my friend, my siss ter says '' She wrenched herself out of his arms, laughing hysterically. "I think I have been daft for the last faw minutes ; in vay sober senses 1 would never have permitted n the color rushed over her face, she stepped away from him, and twined her fingers nervou&ly about each other. "Don't you understand ?'' sue went on, with an heroic effort at composure, "I could never marry you ; there is your sister " "My sister ?" he broke iu ; "what has she to do with you and me?'' She smiled mirthlessly : "Not very much to do with me, I must con fess ; she has ignored me from the first. You must see for yourself that it would never do ; it would not be pleasaut to have a a " "A sister-in-law ?'' "Well, yes, a sister-in-law who barely speaks to me." She began playing w ith the ribbons at her belt, her eyes were quite dry now, her face had assumed its old expression of weary calm. The slights and sneers the scornful glances and barely civil words of the past weary months came back to ber in all their bitterness ; the sister's cold, aristc cratic face rose up between her and the frank, handsome one of her lov er. "You can not truly love me,if you would let so small a thing intetfere,'' he cried hotly. "I am very proud," she said, look ing out over the old garden, now growing gray and indi3tinct in the twilight. "Oue of these days, per haps, when the stain is lifted from my father's name, I may marry you, that is" wistful smile "if you still care for me ; until then, we can only meet as strangers. My pride is equal to your eiater's ; tell her," she went on, losing her seif-contro1, "that I again refuse the honor of Concluded on last page.") Legislature or 1MKJ, To the EdiU-r of The Enterprise. Newtox, N. C, March 30lh, 93 The Genhral Assembly of 1S93, in the main, was composed of good conservative men. In each houe there were some of the leading men of the State. This is generally the cae when the party gets scared. No Legislative body is perfect, we therefore take it for granted that some things were done that ought not to h ive been eloue ; yet many good laws were enacted, aud mauy unwise laws repealed, or modified. Where so many men of different views, representing varied interests meet iu a legislative body, one of the most importaut things is to pre vent unwise legislation. Hundreds ot bills whether wiee or otherwise, failed to pasi both houses, and are sleeping the long sleep- Tteie were more watchful, vigi lant, active members in this body thau any previous legislature of which I had the honor to be a mem ber. APPROPRIATIONS. The thing that most coucerns the people is appropriations. No gov eminent cn be tuu without them. The demand of our charitable insti tutions is on the increase, even more so thau the iucrease of population, With all the provision heretofore made by tne State, a large perceut of the unfortunate are not cared for, as they should be for want ot room io receive them to our institutions. Humanity demands, that the insane the deaf, dumb and blind, shouldtbe properly cared for. There are also a few homeless old Confederate soldiers to be provided for. Thank God there are less than 100 of these at present. All these things require a great deal of money It is giatilying to see how well thtce institutes are beiDg run. The management of the State Hospital at Morganton is an honor to our State, as well as to the gentlemen who run it. Every citiz?u ought to make a visit to the State iustitu. tions at Morgauton, you will be tupnsed when yon do so. The legislature of lSyl, made an appropriation for the purchase of additional property at Morganton. for the location of an institute for the Deaf and Dumb, so as to sepas rate them froai the blind. The work was commenced, the walls 'are up, and it required more mcney to com. plete and equip these buildings ready for occupancy. The legislature ot 1891, also star ted a Nomal and industrial school at Greeds'joro for Girls. We were called on to help this institution. It required more money to finish and squip this scbool. This is said to be one ot the best, or promises to be one of the best io the State. I know there is some complaint iu regard to the estab lishment of thi school, but if it was a mistake, it was uot made by the legislature of 1S93- You must go back of tnat to lodge the complaint. Let us see who are to blame t The legislature of 1891 started this stitutipn, but that legislatare claim ed that they did so because of the following demauds. First the State Alliance demand ed it. Second the Teachers Assembly demanded it Third the Kings Daughters de manded it. So let no one ceusure the legisla ture of 1S93, for the money appro priated to this institution. Th constitution requires us to take care of the propety of the University of North Carolina. So it required money to make some repairs there. Absolutely necessarv to prevent the ruin of the buildiugs. Than there is the Agricultural and Mechanical College for boys, it had so have mon. So it goes. The Penitentiary authorities ask ed for 870,000.00 to help run the be quest left us by the Republican par ty. We refused to make this appro priation. Don't know bow they will make cot. We have started ihem under a new regime. It is not Decessary to go over the whole list of appropriations. I only mention the most important. Oh yes, I haven't mentioued the most important one of all in the eyes of certain people ami certain newspa pers. 500.00 FOR THE BALL." Yes the legislature did appropri ate ."00.00 for the purposes ol the inauguration, or so much thereof as was necessary. Tney had to fi!e an itearzpd account and it did nut take 8500.00. Those who favored the bill urged it om the ground that we had a farmer for Governor we would be accused of not making the appropiution because tne Governor is a farmer. Captain Kitchen, stat ed on the lioor of the House that if any persou or couuty was disaatis fiod with it to notify hiru and he will refuud the amount they would Lave to pay. The truth is the in auguration wan iu the day lime aud I attended that. The ball was at night, and we did not atteud that. So you see they wee cej'ad rate. For the information of certain P. P. friends, I will state that we vot ed agaiuet the appropriation of 8500 00 as the journals will show wnen published. I didu't do so be cause Carr, was a farmer, but be cause I could aee no reason why a Governor in a Democratic govern ment, could not enter upon his du ties simply by taking the oath, just as members of General Assembly, Judges etc. Notwithstanding we were compelled to make the forgo ing appropriations we reduced ihe tax froai 25 to 22 ceuts on the $100 This is lower thau at any time be" fore. There were certain line ot railroad iu t'te State not subject to taxation by reason of rights under the charter. There has been much agitation over this question. The present legislation settled that, anel now that line of road is subject to taxation. I succeeded iu passing a bill through the senate for the better protection of farmers against the the carelessness of stcck drivers iu allowing stock to run over farms under cultivation along public high ways, but it failed in the House We tried to pass a dog law, but it failed as usual, road law, One of the most important mat. ters before the legislature was to devise some better system of work ing the roads. I am sorry we could not reach a more satisfactory solu tion of this ltnportaat matter. The road congress met. Representative meu from nearly every county in the State were present. We de pended on them giving us some thins elefinite, but the did not. Hundreds of suggestions and pros positions were made in the road Congress and in the legislature. To harmonize and utilize all this was the question. "Woo was sufficient for these things V How I wish ev ery man who thinks he could ar range all the things could have a seat in the legislature for one ses sion. At the 'suggestion ot our Register ot deeds and Board of Commissioners 1 succeeded in hav ing the road law of 18S9 repealed. It related mainly to the opening of new roads, and was a failure. STATE EAN'ES. We thought the crying demand was for more money. Bat just as soou a bills were introduced in the legislature to establish banks, and give us more money, the cry of op position goes up from the wise on financial matters from 'Berheba even unto Dan." V. does lock to me that if congress will repeal that 10 per cent tax, and allow us to have state banks cf issue (properly guarded) as before the war, that the iucrease in the volume of circula tion would be bouud to benefit our people very greatly. Let all the national bank bills, gold or fcilver come that will come, and give us the state bank bill also, then we will surely have more mon ey. The state money would have a tendency to remain at home. The business was doue with this kind of money before the war. State banks don't fail any oftener than National banks. There is trouble now in Nashville Tenn., over the failure of National banks. We passed a bank bill, not a very unsatisfactory one. For want of time to agree on something better it was passed. I confessed that I don't understand the financial sys tem of cur government, I never pro fessed to know. But Mr. Editor, I am thankful that we have hundreds of men all through our country who profess to know all about the intricate4subject. It has been the study of the best statesman of the past, and it has been cotdesed by them to be the biggeat question with which to con tend. It is left for the men ot our day to solve. Not by those whom we have considered us leaders, but by meu among oh, who have been considered of the "rank and tt'le,'' We are to b congratulated that tho greatest question that ever con fronted any government, is about to be solved. We hear a great ileal said about Jefferson and Jack- sou in connection with banks. A greal financial panic followed Jack sou'a administration. I ive an exi tract from the diary of Rey. C. K. Marshall of Mississippi, April 12th 1837. "The hardest time in money matters that we ever experienced, people are cursing Andrew Jackson, the man who a few years ago was receiving their highest mead of praise, is now being abused for the financial straight in which our ooun try is placed.'' So then if we look back we will find that co public man escaped abuse, aud even o'd "Hickory ' was accused of not know, ing how to manage the fiuaucies of the government, when it was not h ilf as largo as it is now. REPEAL OF ALLIANCE CHABTEK. The Progressive farmer, Cauca sian, and other papers are raising a howl over the repeal ot the alliance charter. I want to say that the bill to repeal the charter was fram ed by alliaucemen, and was intro duced in the House, aud passed be fore I ever knew such a measure was contemplated. Even democrats iu r.ho House of Representatives who were riot alliance men, knew nothing of such a bill until it was introduced by Gen. Vance (who ii an allianceman in good standing) and but npon its passage. It pas sed becanse tbe alliance members asked for it, and stated they had a new charter which tbe introduced to take its place, Tbe Senate gave the alliance offi cers a hearing before the committee; aud adopted a substitute or amend ment, which allowed all alliancemen who had money in tbe business fund to withdraw tbe same. There was only three People's party men In the Senate, and they voted for tbe measure. It was sent back to tbe House, and the House concurred in the Senate amendroenr. Now why abuse the democratic party for thin measure when it was an alliance measure and even supported by third party men ? Alliancemen told me tbe Jaw did no effect anybody any Butler, Gra ham, Worth, Barnes & Co., who were receiving salaries. I took no part iu the matter, because I felt it was not my fight. There are a num. ber of cuauces iu the law that are important, in cases ot lynchings, as signments etc., but I must stop and ask pardon for the length of this article. I hope the Enterprise will be rewarded for the gallant fight it made in behalf ol democracy, and for thi3 and all other favors. M. O- Seerrill.
