conform to it. to demand her address,
and having obtained it TO proceed to her
house, and when there to warn her rela
tives of the improperly Of her conduct
The women, however, would have been
unworthy Of their sex and their country
if they had not proved themselves to be
more than match for the police. The
detectives now complain than when they
have accosted cul prit and have obtained
an address from her, they have almost
invariably found, on visiting the house
named by her, that she had given them a
false address, and that nothing but de-
rision and eontumely awaited them. 1t
is now announced that in the future the
police will follow every culprit to her
house and then and there demand speech
Of her lord and master. This new born
anxiety for impervious wells, shape
less cloaks and impossible slippers is to
me inexplicable ; but suppose the au-
thorities are Of opinion that if the women
show their faces to their friends the men
may show their backs to the foes. Let
us hope that their anticipations may be
realized, and that in proportion as the
charms of Fatima and Ayesha are con-
cealed, the terrors of Salim and Solyman
may be repressed. Another order has
been issued, which is levelled against the
Christians, and which forbids the en-
ployment of women in the cafes, wine
shops and beer houses. | own that en-

There lies in the Stone River, near
Church Flat, four stone anchors, which
are supposed to have been cast there when
the British first landed on Carolina soil.
These four stone anchors are square, and
weigh about 500 pounds each. An
iron is run through the stone and rivet-
ed at the bottom, and at the top
are fastened iron rings for the pur-
pose of making them fast to a vessel. On
the stones are cut the coat of arms Of
Great Britain. These four stones are
separated from each other not more than
twenty five feet. a gentleman from this
city came across them the other day, and
made an effort to raise one, but without
effect, as it was too deeply imbedded in
the mud.

A very remarkable escape occurred
yesterday to a little nephew Of Edward
+. Powers, boot and shoe dealer. The
child, who is five years old, was missing
at 2 o'clock, when looked for at dinner
time, but, after calling, the family ate
dinner, and the child not appearing, be-
came alarmed and instituted search
through the neighborhood. His hat was
found in the yard under some large ma
pie trees. Nothing could be heard Of
him until about 3 o'clock, when a girl
discovered him up in one of the limbs Of
the maple trees forty feet from the
ground, asleep. The girl called him,
but he did not awake, and the situation
being discovered, his aunt prevented any
noise being made until two boys climbed
the tree and awoke him, and he was got
down safely. 1t cannot be ascertained
how long the child had been there,
but a continuous search was made from
l o'clock to 3 =. NJ.

Three years passed away. William
Parr had stepped into the place left va
cant by the death of senior clerk, his
salary had been raised, and he had NOV
ed into better lodgings. Perhaps if he
had sought to renew his intimacy with
the Derrys, he might not have been re-
pulsed, but he was now a sadder and
wiser man. The sense of loss had never
entirely left him; nor had he as vet
found any one who could be what Fanny
had been. No tidings of her had ever
come to her old lover; in the days of
their intercourse she had been silent
about her uncle Fenwick, and William
had not even heard his name.
One day it happened that William
Parr was despatched to London to trans
act some business for his employer. 1t
was winter, but the weather was clear
and sunshiny, and when he arrived at
the great metropolitan station il wanted
an hour to noon. Among the members
waiting on the platform, one figure at
tracted Williams eye at once; it was
that of a lady, richly dressed in vel
vet and sable, who was evidently looking
out eagerly for some one In the train.
As she caught glimpse of the face she
was watching for, her own frightened
and flushed in way that William well
remembered. just so had she greeted
him, when he had been won't to pay his
evening visits to the little house in George
