Saving the Train..The usual crowd of autunin liars were gathered together in the store, occupying all the grocery seats.the on- ly gross receipts that the proprietor took no pride in.when a little, blear-eyed, weazenI'uoed individual sneaked in by the back door, and slunk into a dark corner. 'That's him,"said the ungrammatical bum- , mer with a green patch over his eye. j "Who is it ?" aske<l several at once. "Why, the chap who saved a train from being wrecked," was the reply. "Come, tell us about it," they demanded, as the small man crouched in the darkness, as if unwilling that his heroic deed should l>e brought out under the glare of the blazing kerosene lamp. After much persuasion he began : "It was just such a night as this.bright and clear.and 1 was going home down tl»e track, when, right before me, across the rails, lay a great beam. There it was. Tale and ghastly as a lifelees body, and light as it apl>eared, I had not the power to move it. A sudden rumble and roar told me that the night express was thundering down and soon would voooli tho fot-il annf. Vpflivr unr? nearfir it approached till, just as the cow-catcher was about lifting me, I sprang aside, placed myself between the obstruction and the track, and the train flew on unharmed.'' The silence was so dense for a moment that one might have heard a dew drop. Presently somebody said: What did you do with the beam ?'' T didn't touch it," lie replied ; "but it touched me." "Well," persisted the questioner, "if you couldn't lift it, and didn't touch it, how in the dickens did the train get over it ?" "Why, don't you see ?" said the sad-faced man, as he arose from his seat and sidled toward the door. "The obstruction was a moonl»eam, and I jumped so that the shadow of my body took its place, and." Pang ! flew a ham against the door ; and if it had struck the l>ody of the retreating hero there would have been a much bigger greasesjK)t frescoed on the panel. The Scandal That Drew..The venerable clergyman arose slowly in the pulpit, and, glancing around on the thinly scattered congregation, said in an emphatic tone, in which there was more sorrow than anger: "My l>eloved brethren, 1 am in hopes that there will be more present next Sabbath, and T .!11 MAirnnl <1 cno n /I o 1 UICI1 I Will I1UVC UUUiVSlUll iu lcvcai u ovauuui which has long oppressed my heart. It concerns the members or this church very deeply, and 110 one who has a regard for eternal hai>piness should be absent." When the benediction was pronounced the handful of people disjiersed, but how much good a few can scatter! The next Sunday the sacred edifice was packed. There was, indeed, hardly breathing room when the white haired sage once more lifted his head above the pul. pit cushions, and a silence as of death fell upon the expectant throng. lie stood a moment looking upon the unwonted scene, and then his voic^ in silvery cadences broke the hush of the anticipation. "Dear friends" he said, "the scandal I have to reveal is this.you will gather in this place in crowds to hear mischevious gossip, but will not listen to the inspired word. Now my children, I offer my resignation. I am going to Europe for six months and shall pay my own expenses." Hut 110 one of the vast multitude took the lesson to himseif; he applied it to his neighbor..Drummer. ...... Ought to be Aukestei» for Procrastinating..There is an old negro in Austin who claims to have studied "flossify outen a book." Yesterday he went into the Justice Court and said : "Jedge, kin I git a 'dictliient writ agin dat wufiless nigger, Pete V" "What's he been doing ?" "He's a procrastimator. lie's been a procrastimatin'." "Procrastinating ? There's no law against that." Inw S/\n Tlnr* Ulliut 'fl aIU law ogiii piuviaoKiuiaviuu » x/v*» ?»m»»» m «le law fin ? Ain't procrastimation de thief of time ?" "Certainly, I believe it has been so stated." "Well, den ain't Pete a thief ?" "Yes, you might so construe it, but you cannot convict a man for stealing time." "No, but when we hab got de proof on him fur stealin' time, we hab de circumstantial ebidence agin him fur stealin' money, fur don't 'llossify say dat time am money ? Got yer dar, .ledge.'" And the old man went out chuckling to himself: "Got him dar. Got de Jedge dis timesuah yer afoot high.".Texas Sifthujs. ' » Wasn't Him..Ata Thursday evening prayer-meeting, held in a small town in Connecticut, last Spring, a deacon felt it his duty to rise and remark : ; "Brethren, there are hypocrites among us. A member of this church, who is in trade, cheated me out of a whole half yard in measur- ing off a calico dress the other day. I A brother, who was in trade, at that moment rose up to go out. Several people looked at i him in a manner to convince him that he was regarded as the guilty party, and he felt him- self forced to halt and observe : "My friends, I am not going because I am guilty, but because I remember to have left the bam doors oi>en and the oat bin unlocked. If Deacon Jones has been cheated on calico that lets me out. I keep hardware and gro- ceries, and if he hasn't weighed that keg of nails he bought of me on Monday, he doesn't liit within forty rods of my business 1" 4 ^ £ , A Claim on his Fkiendship.."I understand," said a Texan to an Arkansaw man, "that you shot Bill Blukins." "Yes." "Well, continued the Texan. "Bill was a friend of mine, and I'll have to avenge his death. Are you armed ?" "You say that Bill was your friend ?" "Yes, the warmest I ever had, and I'm going to give it to you right here," and he drew a pistol. "Hold on," exclaimed the Arkansaw man. "Bill was a friend of mine, too, and more than that he was my brother-in-law." "Oh ! well, then," said the Texan, returning his pistol, "I guess you had a right to shoot him. I didn't know that you had any claim on his friendship." gg" They are talking at the wedding breakfast about the outrageous conduct of the bridegroom, who, with his bride, had just driven off. He had positively lighted a cigalas soon as the carriage left the door. The first bridesmaid was very indignant. "When I am m;u-ried," she said, "if my husband does that I shall knock the cigar out of his mouth," and turning to the handsome best man at whom she was setting her cap, she naively .1_--i lLTXTi. i. _i i.i T> : iUSKfU : HUill M1UU1U JUU UU lliril, OU IXt-yi- mil?" I should not be there, Miss M'Arthur," was the quiet but pointed rejoinder. A Legislative Joke..Some of 'em are like Cousin John Thrasher's man who told him he wanted to be doorkeeper, but cousin John had promised to vote for another fellow, and so to get rid of him he says : "Why, Jim, did you ever keep a door?" "No," says he. "Did you ever study a book on keeping a door ?" "I never did," says lie. "Well, did you ever attend lectures in Augusta or any where on how to keep a door ?" Of course not," says he. "Well, my dear sir, you had letter go back home and prepare yourself by j the next session and I'll vote for you." Two countrymen came to a lawyer to consult abdut bringing a joint suit against a neighbor. The first granger began to tell the lawyer the cause of the trouble, embellishing it rather liberally. "Don't tell him any lies, Dill," interrupted the other. "It is his business to put in the lies. You will get him con- fused if you go to mixing your lies with his." *-« « $yr "Please tell me what the time is?" asked a little boy of an apothecary, who was much j' troubled by such inquiry. 1 "Why, I told you the time but a moment' ago," snapped the apothecary. j; "Yes, sir," said the boy ; "but this is for another man." j' AST Very kind drug clerk to a little girl : "Now be sure to tell your papa to take this medicine according to the directions on the bottle ; an overdose might affect his brain."

CONFEDERATE BLOCKADE RUNNING. "I never expect to see such flush times again in my life," said the captain of a successful blockade runner, in shaking of Nassau. "Money was almost as plenty as dirt. I have seen a man toss up a $20 gold piece on 'head or tail,' and it would be followed by a score of the yellow boys in less than five seconds. There were times when the bank vaults would not hold all the gold, and the coins were dumped down by the bushel and guarded by soldiers. Men wagered, gambled, drank and seemed crazy to get rid of their money. 1 once saw two captains put up $500 each on the length of a certain porch. Again I saw a wager of $50 a side as to how many would be at the dinner table of a certain hotel. The Confederates were paying the English big prices for goods, but multiplying the figures by five, seven and ten as soon as the goods were landed at Charleston. Ten dollars in- vested in quinine in Nassau would bring from $400 to $900 in Charleston. A pair of $1 boots would bring from $14 to $10. A $2 hat woukl bring $8, and so on all through. Every sue- cessful captain might have made a fortune in a year, but I do not believe that five out of the whole lot had one thousand dollars on hand when the war closed. It was come easy go easy." THE MARGARET AND JESSIE. The name of this steamer will be found as having run the blockade of two or three ports, although she belonged to Charleston. She was an iron-built steamer, double engines and cost $100,000 in gold. Iler carrying capacity was 800 bales of cotton, and she could make the trip from Charleston to Nassau, in forty-four hours. She was one of the most successful runners of the war and paid her owners ten times over. One night in May, 181K1, having a very valuable cargo of arms and ammunition sadly needed by the Confederacy, she laid a straight course for Charleston." There were five Federal blockaders off the bar and the night was fine. The steamer ran straight in for the lleet, and as soon as her character was known every blockader opened fire. It was estimated that 150 shots were fired, some from a distance of less than 200 feet, and yet, strange to sav. the steamer crot into nort without hav- ing a man wounded. She was struck in live or six places, but with no serious results. On the 11th of November, of the same year, the Margaret and Jessie attempted the same old dodge at Wilmington. She was here beset by three blockaders, shot through both wheels and hit in a dozen other spots, but managed to turn about and get to sea and lead live Federal vessels a chase of twenty hours before she surrendered. It is doubtful if she would have been taken then, but for the fact that three or four lady passengers aboard raised such a rumpus when the Federals began tiring from their bow guns that the captain was quite unnerved and barkened to their pleading to surrender. THE "HATTIE." The steamer Hattie was the last runner in or out of Charleston. She was a small vessel, Clyde-built furnished with powerful engines, and she made more trips than any other vessel engaged in the business. I asked men in Charleston who knew all about her to estimate the value of the cargoes taken out and brought in by this one vessel, and their figures were $50,000,000. On several occasions she brought as much munitions of war as the Confederacy was in pressing need of, and at least three battles were brought 011 by the munitions for which the Confederates waited, and which she landed safely in their hands. Plot after plot was formed at Nassau to get hold of Ilattie, but none of them were successful. She slipped in and out like a phantom, taking the most desperate risks and being attended by a spirit of good luck quite extraordinary. HER LAST ENTRANCE. The last entrance of the Ilattie into Charleston occured one night in February, 18(55. The Confederacy was then on its last legs, and the Federal fleet off Charleston numbered eighteen or twenty sail. It was a starlight night and Hattie crept forward among the fleet. She had been freshly painted a blue white, lier fires made no smoke and not a light was permitted to shine on board. With her engines moving slowly, she let the wind drive her forward. There were eight or ten vessels outside the bar, and as many within. Those outside were successfully passed without an alarm being raised. The Ilattie ran within 300 feet of two blockaders without her presence being detected. To the naked eye of the look-outs she must have seemed a haze or mist moving slowly along. The little steamer was quietly approaching the inner line of blockaders when a sudden fire was opened 011 her from a gun-boat not 200 feet distant, and the air was at the same time filled with rockets to announce the runner's presence. At that time the Federals had the whole of Morris Island, and Fort Sumter had l>eeu so battered to pieces that monitors took up their stations almost within pistol shot of it. As soon as the Ilattie was discovered she was given all steam and headed straight for the channel. She ran a terrible gauntlet of shot and shell for ten minutes, but escaped untouched. Then came the real peril. Just below Sumter in the narrowest part of the channel, the Ilattie encountered two large loads of men stationed there 011 picket. Iler extraordinary speed saved her from being boarded, but the volleys fired after her wounded two or three men and cut three lingers otf the hand of the pilot resting on the spokes of the wheel. Two hundred yards ahead lay a monitor, and she at once oi>ened fire and kept her guns going as long as the Ilattie had could be seen, but not a missle struck. It was wonderful, too, considering that the steamer ran so close that she could hear the orders given 011 the monitor. GETTING OUT. Charleston was being bombarded, many of the business houses closed, and could see that the end was drawing near. The Ilattie was in as much danger lyinj? at the wharf as she would be outside, andacartro was made up for her as quickly as possible and she was made ready for her last trip. .lust before dark the sentinels on Fort Sumter counted twentysix Federal blockaders oil Charleston harbor, and yet the Ilattie cooly made her preparations to run out. Just before midnight, with a starlight night and a smooth sea, the lucky little craft picked her way through all that ileet without being hailed or a gun fired, and she was lying at Nassau when the news of Lee's surrender was received. NAVAL lUtAO. Every now and then after the blockade was fairly organized, this or that Federal Admi-1 ral was wont to boast ol" the number of captures he had made and his success in shutting up the port. While some captures were made there never was a time from the first to the last that any port was so carefully watched that blockade-running was not carried on as a regular business. Stonewall Jackson and other Confederates captured from the Federal armies in the first two years of the war enough material to completely equip 75,000 men, and up to the spring of 1SG4 not a battle was fought in Virginia in which Federal ammunition was not used' against Federals. Add to these facts the Confederacy with its best ordinance, best muskets, best ammunition and nearly all its uniforms, and that, too, in spite of blockades, and we begin to see how it was possible for the South to hold out in the manner it did..lhtroit Free Press. ! (gg" The government buildings and grounds in the District of Columbia are assessed at a valuation of 880,75'l,0l:». This is in all prob-1 ability much below their real value, as near- ly an assessments are made at a reduced valuation. The private real estate in the city of Washington is assessed at upwards of $05,-! 000,000. Between the public and private ac-j cumulations of property in the capital city, the total for less than a hundred years of^ ex- istence makes a creditable showing. It must-j be borne in mind that this growth has been entirely dependent upon the government in-; terest," as Washington was neither a great nor a manufacturing center. $3T As if it were not enough for England to furnish forts for the defense of Egypt and counsel for Arabi, the latest word is that England is to furnish counsel for the Egyptian government in its trial of the rebel leaders, and Barrister Graspian is to proceed to Cairo at once for that puri>ose. It will be English against English in the trial of the rebels, which not only means that England is master in Egypt, but also that the slave is to be fleeced worse than ever. I AUCTION SALES.

totowuis §«partraettt.Saving the Train..The usual crowd of

autunin liars were gathered together in thestore, occupying all the grocery seats.the on-

ly gross receipts that the proprietor took no

pride in.when a little, blear-eyed, weazenI'uoedindividual sneaked in by the back door,and slunk into a dark corner.

'That's him,"said the ungrammatical bum- ,

mer with a green patch over his eye. j"Who is it ?" aske<l several at once."Why, the chap who saved a train from beingwrecked," was the reply."Come, tell us about it," they demanded,

as the small man crouched in the darkness, asif unwilling that his heroic deed should l>ebrought out under the glare of the blazingkerosene lamp.After much persuasion he began :"It was just such a night as this.bright

and clear.and 1 was going home down tl»etrack, when, right before me, across the rails,lay a great beam. There it was. Tale andghastly as a lifelees body, and light as it apl>eared,I had not the power to move it. Asudden rumble and roar told me that the nightexpress was thundering down and soon wouldvoooli tho fot-il annf. Vpflivr unr? nearfir itapproached till, just as the cow-catcher wasabout lifting me, I sprang aside, placed myselfbetween the obstruction and the track,and the train flew on unharmed.''The silence was so dense for a moment that

one might have heard a dew drop. Presentlysomebody said:

What did you do with the beam ?''T didn't touch it," lie replied ; "but it

touched me.""Well," persisted the questioner, "if you

couldn't lift it, and didn't touch it, how inthe dickens did the train get over it ?""Why, don't you see ?" said the sad-faced

man, as he arose from his seat and sidled towardthe door. "The obstruction was a moonl»eam,and I jumped so that the shadow of mybody took its place, and."Pang ! flew a ham against the door ; and if

it had struck the l>ody of the retreating herothere would have been a much bigger greasesjK)tfrescoed on the panel.The Scandal That Drew..The venerableclergyman arose slowly in the pulpit, and,

glancing around on the thinly scattered congregation,said in an emphatic tone, in whichthere was more sorrow than anger:"My l>eloved brethren, 1 am in hopes that

there will be more present next Sabbath, andT .!11MAirnnl <1 cnon /I o 1

which has long oppressed my heart. It concernsthe members or this church very deeply,and 110 one who has a regard for eternal hai>pinessshould be absent."When the benediction was pronounced the

handful of people disjiersed, but how muchgood a few can scatter! The next Sunday thesacred edifice was packed. There was, indeed,hardly breathing room when the white hairedsage once more lifted his head above the pul.pit cushions, and a silence as of death fellupon the expectant throng. lie stood a momentlooking upon the unwonted scene, andthen his voic^ in silvery cadences broke thehush of the anticipation."Dear friends" he said, "the scandal I have

to reveal is this.you will gather in this placein crowds to hear mischevious gossip, but willnot listen to the inspired word. Now mychildren, I offer my resignation. I am goingto Europe for six months and shall pay myown expenses."Hut 110 one of the vast multitude took the

lesson to himseif; he applied it to his neighbor..Drummer.......

Ought to be Aukestei» for Procrastinating..Thereis an old negro in Austinwho claims to have studied "flossify outena book." Yesterday he went into the JusticeCourt and said : "Jedge, kin I git a 'dictliientwrit agin dat wufiless nigger, Pete V""What's he been doing ?""He's a procrastimator. lie's been a procrastimatin'.""Procrastinating ?

cannot convict a man for stealing time.""No, but when we hab got de proof on him

Wasn't Him..Ata Thursday evening prayer-meeting,held in a small town in Connecticut,last Spring, a deacon felt it his duty torise and remark : ;

"Brethren, there are hypocrites among us.A member of this church, who is in trade,cheated me out ofa whole half yard in measur-

ing off a calico dress the other day. IA brother, who was in trade, at that moment

rose up to go out. Several people looked at i

him in a manner to convince him that he was

regarded as the guilty party, and he felt him-self forced to halt and observe :

"My friends, I am not going because I amguilty, but because I remember to have leftthe bam doors oi>en and the oat bin unlocked.If Deacon Jones has been cheated on calicothat lets me out. I keep hardware and gro-ceries, and if he hasn't weighed that keg ofnails he bought of me on Monday, he doesn'tliit within forty rods of my business 1"

A Claim on his Fkiendship.."I understand,"said a Texan to an Arkansaw man,"that you shot Bill Blukins.""Yes.""Well, continued the Texan. "Bill was a

friend of mine, and I'll have to avenge hisdeath. Are you armed ?""You say that Bill was your friend ?""Yes, the warmest I ever had, and I'm goingto give it to you right here," and he drew

a pistol."Hold on," exclaimed the Arkansaw man.

"Bill was a friend of mine, too, and morethan that he was my brother-in-law.""Oh ! well, then," said the Texan, returning

his pistol, "I guess you had a right to shoothim. I didn't know that you had any claimon his friendship."gg" They are talking at the wedding breakfastabout the outrageous conduct of the

bridegroom, who, with his bride, had justdriven off. He had positively lighted a cigalassoon as the carriage left the door. Thefirst bridesmaid was very indignant. "WhenI am m;u-ried," she said, "if my husband doesthat I shall knock the cigar out of his mouth,"and turning to the handsome best man atwhom she was setting her cap, she naively.1_--i lLTXTi. i. _i i.i T> :iUSKfU : HUill M1UU1U JUU UU lliril, OU IXt-yi-mil?" I should not be there, Miss M'Arthur,"was the quiet but pointed rejoinder.A Legislative Joke..Some of 'em are

like Cousin John Thrasher's man who toldhim he wanted to be doorkeeper, but cousinJohn had promised to vote for another fellow,and so to get rid of him he says : "Why, Jim,did you ever keep a door?" "No," says he."Did you ever study a book on keeping a

door ?" "I never did," says lie. "Well,did you ever attend lectures in Augusta or

any where on how to keep a door ?" Of course

not," says he. "Well, my dear sir, you hadletter go back home and prepare yourself by jthe next session and I'll vote for you."

Two countrymen came to a lawyer toconsult abdut bringing a joint suit against a

neighbor. The first granger began to tell thelawyer the cause of the trouble, embellishingit rather liberally. "Don't tell him any lies,Dill," interrupted the other. "It is his businessto put in the lies. You will get him con-fused if you go to mixing your lies with his."

gJisfeUaneoMS |tcatfitt(j.CONFEDERATE BLOCKADE RUNNING."I never expect to see such flush times again

in my life," said the captain of a successfulblockade runner, in shaking of Nassau."Money was almost as plenty as dirt. I haveseen a man toss up a $20 gold piece on 'heador tail,' and it would be followed by a score ofthe yellow boys in less than five seconds.There were times when the bank vaults wouldnot hold all the gold, and the coins were

dumped down by the bushel and guarded bysoldiers. Men wagered, gambled, drank andseemed crazy to get rid of their money. 1once saw two captains put up $500 each on thelength of a certain porch. Again I saw a

wager of $50 a side as to how many would beat the dinner table of a certain hotel. TheConfederates were paying the English bigprices for goods, but multiplying the figuresby five, seven and ten as soon as the goodswere landed at Charleston. Ten dollars in-vested in quinine in Nassau would bring from$400 to $900 in Charleston. A pair of $1 bootswould bring from $14 to $10. A $2 hat wouklbring $8, and so on all through. Every sue-

cessful captain might have made a fortune ina year, but I do not believe that five out ofthe whole lot had one thousand dollars onhand when the war closed. It was come easygo easy."

THE MARGARET AND JESSIE.

The name of this steamer will be found ashaving run the blockade of two or three ports,although she belonged to Charleston. She wasan iron-built steamer, double engines and cost$100,000 in gold. Iler carrying capacity was800 bales of cotton, and she could make thetrip from Charleston to Nassau, in forty-fourhours. She was one of the most successfulrunners of the war and paid her owners tentimes over. One night in May, 181K1, having a

very valuable cargo of arms and ammunitionsadly needed by the Confederacy, she laid a

straight course for Charleston." There werefive Federal blockaders off the bar and thenight was fine. The steamer ran straight infor the lleet, and as soon as her character wasknown every blockader opened fire. It wasestimated that 150 shots were fired, some froma distance of less than 200 feet, and yet, strangeto sav. the steamer crot into nort without hav-ing a man wounded. She was struck in liveor six places, but with no serious results.On the 11th of November, of the same year,

the Margaret and Jessie attempted the sameold dodge at Wilmington. She was here besetby three blockaders, shot through bothwheels and hit in a dozen other spots, butmanaged to turn about and get to sea and leadlive Federal vessels a chase of twenty hoursbefore she surrendered. It is doubtful if shewould have been taken then, but for the factthat three or four lady passengers aboardraised such a rumpus when the Federals begantiring from their bow guns that the captainwas quite unnerved and barkened to theirpleading to surrender.

THE "HATTIE."The steamer Hattie was the last runner in

or out of Charleston. She was a small vessel,Clyde-built furnished with powerful engines,and she made more trips than any other vesselengaged in the business. I asked men inCharleston who knew all about her to estimatethe value of the cargoes taken out andbrought in by this one vessel, and their figureswere $50,000,000. On several occasionsshe brought as much munitions of war as theConfederacy was in pressing need of, and atleast three battles were brought 011 by the munitionsfor which the Confederates waited,and which she landed safely in their hands.Plot after plot was formed at Nassau to gethold of Ilattie, but none of them were successful.She slipped in and out like a phantom,taking the most desperate risks and beingattended by a spirit of good luck quite extraordinary.

HER LAST ENTRANCE.The last entrance of the Ilattie into Charlestonoccured one night in February, 18(55.

The Confederacy was then on its last legs,and the Federal fleet off Charleston numberedeighteen or twenty sail. It was a starlightnight and Hattie crept forward among thefleet. She had been freshly painted a bluewhite, lier fires made no smoke and not a

light was permitted to shine on board. Withher engines moving slowly, she let the winddrive her forward. There were eight or tenvessels outside the bar, and as many within.Those outside were successfully passed withoutan alarm being raised. The Ilattie ranwithin 300 feet of two blockaders without herpresence being detected. To the naked eyeof the look-outs she must have seemed a hazeor mist moving slowly along.The little steamer was quietly approaching

the inner line of blockaders when a suddenfire was opened 011 her from a gun-boat not200 feet distant, and the air was at the sametime filled with rockets to announce the runner'spresence. At that time the Federalshad the whole of Morris Island, and FortSumter had l>eeu so battered to pieces thatmonitors took up their stations almost withinpistol shot of it. As soon as the Ilattie wasdiscovered she was given all steam and headedstraight for the channel. She ran a terriblegauntlet of shot and shell for ten minutes,but escaped untouched. Then came the realperil. Just below Sumter in the narrowestpart of the channel, the Ilattie encounteredtwo large loads of men stationed there 011

picket. Iler extraordinary speed saved herfrom being boarded, but the volleys fired afterher wounded two or three men and cut threelingers otf the hand of the pilot resting on thespokes of the wheel.Two hundred yards ahead lay a monitor,

and she at once oi>ened fire and kept her gunsgoing as long as the Ilattie had could be seen,but not a missle struck. It was wonderful,too, considering that the steamer ran so closethat she could hear the orders given 011 themonitor.

GETTING OUT.Charleston was being bombarded, many of

the business houses closed, and could see thatthe end was drawing near. The Ilattie wasin as much danger lyinj? at the wharf as shewould be outside, andacartro was made up forher as quickly as possible and she was madeready for her last trip. .lust before dark thesentinels on Fort Sumter counted twentysixFederal blockaders oil Charleston harbor,and yet the Ilattie cooly made her preparationsto run out. Just before midnight, with a

starlight night and a smooth sea, the luckylittle craft picked her way through all thatileet without being hailed or a gun fired, andshe was lying at Nassau when the news ofLee's surrender was received.

NAVAL lUtAO.

Every now and then after the blockade wasfairly organized, this or that Federal Admi-1ral was wont to boast ol" the number ofcaptures he had made and his success inshutting up the port. While some captureswere made there never was a time from thefirst to the last that any port was so carefullywatched that blockade-running was notcarried on as a regular business. StonewallJackson and other Confederates capturedfrom the Federal armies in the first two yearsof the war enough material to completelyequip 75,000 men, and up to the spring of1SG4 not a battle was fought in Virginia inwhich Federal ammunition was not used'against Federals. Add to these facts theConfederacy with its best ordinance, best muskets,best ammunition and nearly all its uniforms,and that, too, in spite of blockades, andwe begin to see how it was possible for theSouth to hold out in the manner it did..lhtroitFree Press. !

(gg" The government buildings and groundsin the District of Columbia are assessed at avaluation of 880,75'l,0l:». This is in all prob-1ability much below their real value, as near-ly an assessments are made at a reduced valuation.The private real estate in the city ofWashington is assessed at upwards of $05,-!000,000. Between the public and private ac-jcumulations of property in the capital city,the total for less than a hundred years of^ ex-istence makes a creditable showing. It must-jbe borne in mind that this growth has beenentirely dependent upon the government in-;terest," as Washington was neither a greatnor a manufacturing center.

$3T As if it were not enough for England tofurnish forts for the defense of Egypt andcounsel for Arabi, the latest word is that Englandis to furnish counsel for the Egyptiangovernment in its trial of the rebel leaders,and Barrister Graspian is to proceed to Cairoat once for that puri>ose. It will be Englishagainst English in the trial of the rebels,which not only means that England is masterin Egypt, but also that the slave is to be fleecedworse than ever. I
