June 24, 1865.—A large crowd was attracted to the yard about noon today by the sale of Government steam- ers. Most of the persons who attended the sale were merchants or steamboat men, and they ineluded men from near- ly every seaboard city af the Atlantic Coast. The sale was conducted by Messrs. W. L. Wall & Co., auctioneers. The bide was very spirited and the sale was all over in little more than one_hour. ‘The first vessel offered was the steamboat Baltimore, formerly of the Aquis Creek line. Since the end of the war it has been used by the Gov- ernment as an ordnance boat. Thomas Clyde of Philadelphia bought it for $16,000. It is to be put in service on the line between Washing- ton and Baltimore in conjunction with the steamer Columbia. The Watch, a single-engine pro- peller, was sold to Mr. r of Balti- more for $2,600, and the Teaser, of the same class, which was captured from the Confederates in the first year of the war in the hannock River, went to J. Bigler of New York for $2, ‘The Resolute, a double-engine propeller of about the same size, went :_0 ’l;s.' thard of Richmond, Me., or. ‘The recently purchased Zeta, a single- engined propelier, was sold to Gilbert Vanderwerken of Georgetown for $4,- €50. The Mystic, & propel t 157 feet, went to Thomas P. Moffan and E. G. Comstock for $9,500. The West- ern World, a 179-feet-long propeller, went to H. R. Hazlehurst of Baltimore for $24,500. / ‘Three blockade runners, the Bat, Dumbarton and Lillian, the first a steel- plated vessel and the others iron, were wit 'wn after the first had been run to $565,000. the second to $65,000 and the third to $50,000. The Juniper, a propeller; the Put- nam, Cactus, J. ymour and Coeur de Lion, side wheelers, were on the list to be sold and there were persons in the crowd who had settled upon the amounts they intended to bid for them, but this morning an order came from the Government transferring them to the lighthouse board and consequently they were withdrawn. It is presumed that the three iron steamers not sold will be returned to the Government service, as they are strong and fast vessels. Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. How to treat three windows in one | casing is a problem which often con- fronts the small apartment dweller. Whether to have curtains hanging lh'yht to the sill, one pair to a win- doJ, just a single one to each wiadow or one very wide pair to draw all have to _be seriously ed. In the accompanying illustration is a simple but effective treatment for such a group of windows. At each win- dow is hung a panel curtain, full enough to a generous, so that the three panels fall together like a single curtain, Instead of two 's of draperies, just a length at each end has the overcurtain treat- would call for four more like like drap- waxed A which is arrangement from the glazed chintz draperies of con- ventional design.

GREAT MEN AND WOMEN Sir Richard Redmayne and the Durham Miner's Dream. “TONKS OPENED A LETTER FROM WITH A SADDENING FACE.” In his explorations in South Africa, Richard A. 8. Redmaynhe, the noted British mining expert, a colleague of the distinguished scientist, Sir Oliver Lodge, and several years ago knighted for his achievements, had a peculiar experience. Redmayne had gone into a remote district prospecting for mines, accom- panied only by a working miner from the Durham district of England, & man named Albert Tonks. ‘Week after week passed, during which they diligently pursued their search without any other companion- ship. Sensibly, however, they kept track of the dates on which Sunday fell, and so kept a day of rest which they would enliven with games. game. mayne for an explanation, he replied thltlle‘fl.ldnot“dllpbk.

They were thousands of miles from mf-nd and utterly eut off from any visible means of communication. He ridiculed the ‘whatever Tonks' experience was. The miner did not forsake his con- viction that he had received a true intimation of his mother’s end. In- deed, he seemed to think his e - ence & wholly natural one—an attitude quite in keeping with the traditions of the north of England district from which he came. But he did not argue the matter. He simply requested Red- mayne to make a note of the date. In the middle of November, six weeks later, they were at Magagne, Natal, where, for the first time in a long pe- riod, they received mail. ‘Tonks opened a letter from his wife and read it through with a saddening face. Then he divulged its contents to Redmayne. His wife said that early on a Sunday morning, six weeks before, his mother had died in her sleep. Death had not then been expected, though the woman had been ailing. However, upon falling asleep the night before, she said: “I will never see Albért again.” yne, startled by Tonks' com- munication, could scarcely believe his ears. eral about the miner’s experi- g an o E‘mmn:o:mmrhmm,he to awe. to tell his friends that bad come true.” T will n»")',’: mflh at anything like ) said.

Famous Mistakes That Brought Good I—Xerxes Fell for Themistocles’ Littlée White Lie and Greece , Survived to Produce “the Great Age.” BY L P.
