The destruction caused by the fire Of Londoa,A
D. 1866, during which some 1920 houses etc.,
were burned down in very many cases obGterating
all the boundary marks requisite to determine the
extent of land and even the very sites occupied by
buildings, previous to this terrible visitation.-
When the rubbish was removed and the land clear
ed, the disputes and entangled claims of those
whose houses had been destroyed both as to the po-
sition and extent Of their property, promised not
only interminable occupation to the courts of law,
but made the far more serious evil of delaying the
rebuilding Of the city, until these disputes were
settled, inevitable. Impelled by the necessity of
coming to more speedy settlement Of their res
pectiye claims than could be hoped for from legal
process, it was determined that the claims and
interests Of all persons concerned should be refer
ed:to the judgment and decision Of two of the
most experienced land surveyors of that day-men
who had been thoroughly acquainted with London
previously to the fire and in order to escape from
the numerous and vast evils which mere de-
lay must occasion, that the decision of these two
arbitrators should be final and binding. The sur
veyor appointed to determine the rights of the
various claimants were Mr.. Nook and Mr. Crook
who, by the justice of their decisions gave gener-
al satisfaction to the interested parties, and by
their speedy determination of the different claims
permitted the rebuilding of the city to proceed
Without the least delay. Hence arose the saying
above quoted usually applied to the extrication o.
persons or things from difficulty The above anf
ecdote was told the other evening by an old citizen
upward of eighty, by no means of an imaginative
temperative. and QueSes.

Condemned unheard, misunderstood
They glide along the valley,
Few know. the good they door would
Around whom angels rally.

How still they move! the noisy world
Goes round as if without them,
From fortunes wheel they're often whirleC
With scarce thread about them.
The suffering few.
Some drag diseases length ming chain,
Some chafe with vain endeavor, r
And some live down lifelong pain,
Triumphant late-foreyer.

WOMAN IN ADVERSELY. Woman should be
more trusted and confded in as wives, mothers and
sisters. They have quick perception of right and
wrong, and, without always knowing why, read the
present and the future, read characters and acts,
designs and probabilities, where men sees no letter
or sign What else do we mean by the old adage
"mother wit, save that woman has quicker per-
ception and reader invention than man? How
often, when man abandons the helm in despair,
woman seizes it, and carries the home-ship through
the storm! Man often flies from home and ami-
ly, TO avoid impending poverty or ruin. Woman
seldom if ever forsook home thus. Woman never
evaded mere temporal calamity by suicide or de-
sertion. The proud banker, rather than 1--we to see
his poverty gazetted, may blow out his brains and
leave wife and childrento to want protectorless Low
ing woman would have counselled him to accept
poverty and live tochersh his family, and retrieve
his fortunes. Woman should be counseled and
con6ded in. It is the beauty and glory of her ma
ture, that it instnctive grasps at and cngs to the
truth and right Reason, man greatest faculty,
takes time to hesitate before it decides; but womans
instinct never hestates in its decision and is scarce
ly ever wrong where it has even chances with rea-
son. Woman feels where man thinks, acts where
he deliberatesy hopes where he despairs, and tri-
umphs where he falls

T. d. GILLESPIE, ESQ,

For sometime past, agent Of the Southern E1-
press Company at this point has been assigned to
the agency at Charleston, s. @. While We rejoice
at this enlargement of his sphere of duty, (which,
by the way, evinces the appreciation in which his
services are held by the Company he serves;) we
regret that his mented promotion depiyes Char
lotte of 80 good citizen and exemplary gentleman.
Mr. GiIlespieserved during the early part of the
war, as Ieutenantin Company B, Hornets Nest
Rhes) 1st Bethel Regiment, under our gallant D.
II. Hill, and retiring from the army, entered the
service of the Express Company here, and has
served faithfully and, we believe, acceptaby up to
the transfer which we now chronicle
The esteem and confidence fthe citizens Of this,
his native place, engendered BY his probity, moral
ity and suavty are paaaporta which he carres With
him to the cordial hospitality of the -Charlesto-
mans We commend him especially to the people
Of Charleston as an inde6igahle Express man, a
polished gentleman and genial companion, moth
ing doubling but that his personal presence, has
ere this inspired in his new location that respect
which isdue to high standard of character.
The Southern Express Company have, however,
a few more left Of the same sort here, IN the
persons of Superintendent Bates, Assistant Super
intendant Courtney, and those two twheel-horses'
familiarly called, Miles Pegsm and Billie Hill
With such supports and suxiiaries it Is no wonder
that the Southern Express Company meets With
such favor from the public maintains its gigantic
proportions and presents 80 bold front to every
kind of opposition. = Charlotte 1m,es.

CHAPTER III.
ELINOR WESTVELT.


Chloe judged rightly in supposing that Einol
would be glad to meet one who had recently seen
her lover Without an instant's delay she hurried
down stairs, and with flushed cheeks presented her
self to the peddler, who regarded her with evident
but perfectly respectful admiration.
"Good morning Jehoachim," said she holding
out her hand. II hope your trade is a lucrative
one"
'It amt always easy to keep money after you've
got it., returned Jock. "Ony yesterday was
stopped by couple of British lubbers, who would
have taken my pack from me if they had dared
But this kept 'em off.
He brandshed, as he spoke, stout knotty stick
which, to judge from its appearance, must have con-
stituted very powerful weapon when welded by
the vigorous arm of the peddler, who, though by
no means stout in his physique, possessed large
share of muscular strength
"Chloe said you had seen Captain Henry Peter
son lately" commenced Einor with hesitation
II hope he is well. y
He is well and hearty, Miss Westvelt, and have
no doubt he would like to be in my shoes at thi
moment.

to the peddlers nsinuation, which nevertheless sht
hoped was true, Einor said, looking down at thu
peddler's pack,

want p
"a capital assortment, Miss Westvelt; Away
carry the best I've got needles, pins thread, silk
thimbles, scissors -
'Let me look at your thimbles said Elinor, in
terrupting him.
Jock threw open the pack with alacrity, and dis
played greater variety and quantity of articles
than one would suppose could have been included
in such narrow space.
''There," said he, displaying his assortment o
thimbles, "them are ginewine silver, and no mis-
take. They came straight from London in the las
ship that came over. They're just the pretties
that ever were seen in the colonies.
"Yes, they look very well, Jock, but I suppos
