JAPANESE SILK WoRMs.-Robert Bunker, of
this city, has received from Japan some eggs of
the Bombyx, Yams Mai, the two Japanese
silk-worms. These eggs were received about
two months ago, were Matched almost immedi-
ately, and the worms are already nearly full
grown and commencing to spin their cOcoons
Of twenty-five eggs received, nineteen were
Matched, and they altogether promise to make
quite considerable amount of silk. The Japan
csc silkworm does not feed on the mulberry but
on common oak leaves which it devours with
great vOracity. 1t is about twice the size of the
common mulberry silkworm, and its cocoon is
of proportionate size. This is the worm which
spins the Japanese silk, which is stronger and
more durable than the common kind, and can
be sold at greatly reduced rates. Mr.. Bunker
thinks il can be afforded as cheapy as linen
The japanese silk bears washing, and will
when 1t becomes as cheap as it should attain
great popularity. The worms are about two
and one-half inches long when fully grown, OF a
pale green color, and are about the size aud
shape Of the common tomato worm. They are
entirely harmless, as are all worms of this class
though squirming in most disgusting
manner when touched. This is because
the moisture of the finger closes their delicate
pores and makes them uncomfortable. Much
handling would speedily make them sick. Silk
growers are accustomed 10 touch them only
with bit of feather. The worm grows very
rapidly after the first week, aud is very vora-
cious, especially after its frequent moultings,
which occur five or six times in its brief life Of
less than three months Many OF these eggs
have been sent to entomologists and amateurs,
and the worms will be largely experimental
with this season. II is Il curious fact that the
eggs will not hatch except in the spring and
carly summer. They will endure any amount
OF cold weather, being uniDiured when the
thermometer had gone down 10 forty degrees
below zero. 1t is hoped that their culture may
be made profitable in this country. As they eat
any kind of oak leaves with avidty these trees
may be made TO produce valuable crop when
found growing wild. The high price of labor is
the only objection TO their introduction here,

them of comforts or advantages that have been
promised and paid for. Is there one in a hun
dred or a thousand of us who will insist upon
his rights or vigorously grumble at
losing them? We hear of such one
now and then, but he is fortunate
if his fellow sufferers do not pronounce him
bore and prefer the certainty of future inflc-
tions to the presentinconvenience of "making a
fuss about it." Police officers also, both in
what they do, and what they allow to be DONE
have been known TO contribute TO the weight of
oppression, at which we might with advantage,
grumble more than we do. They are some
times veXatiously inquisitorial in spying out
and prosecuting technical offences against obso-
lete or generally disregarded laws, and again,
through Incidence, fear or favor, shamefuly
lenient toward real criminals or lax in
enforcing reasonable regulations which
are important to the welfare or com
fort of the citizen. Persistent and systematic
grumbling might possibly help to remedy some
of these evils. There are, moreover, sundry pri-
Vate or semi-public grievances with which al
most every neighborhood is more or less af-
fiicted, through the selfshness or want of
thought of unofficial persons, who make or per-
NIT disagreeable noises, sights or smells to the
annoyance of dwellers or passers near their
premises. Public opinion, expressed in the
form of grumbling or remonstrance, might
be probably used much oftener that it is for the
suppression of these grievances.
In these remarks we must beg 10 be under
stood as discussing algeneral, if you please ma
tional evil and weakness. We protest against
the idea that they have any special local applica-
ton. Hot clerks in this city, it is well known
are models ofcourteous and affable department
our railroad officials are never peremptory or un.
reasonable; our policemen, how can We express
our grateful sense of theiriuniform vigilance i'm
partially and urbanity; our citizens are, with
out exception, unselfsh and scrupulously re-
gardfnl of their neghbors rights and comforts
In Worcester there is no occasion for grumbling,
but the rest of the world is not so fortunate

A HUMANE HoRsE.-A correspondent of the
Christian Union tells the following, which
shows that the horse was humane as well as in
telligent. Some men might well 20 to a horse of
the kind described, and from him learn how to
be generous: A friend Of mine told me story
little while ago which interested me so much
that | want to tell it TO all my little friends
This gentleman owned fine horse, which was
very fond of him, and would come from the pas
ture at the sound of his voice. and follow him
about like dog. Well, at one time the horse
became lame, and was obliged to stay in his sta
bic and not to be used for many weeks, and it
was during this time that Mr.. G. became inter-
ested TO see how much the horse knew and how
kind his sympathies were. An old cat had
made her nest upon the scaffold Just above the
horses Manager, and had laid there her little
family of five kittens, to bring them up under
good tuition, suppose. She and the horse got
on nicely for some days. She jumped down
into his Manager and went off for food and then
came back and leaped up to her kittens again.
But one morning she rolled off into the manger
with her foot bleeding, and badly hurt, so that
she could scarcely crawl; but she managed to
to limp away on her three legs and get her
breakfast, but when she came back she was en-
tirey unable to get up to her kittens, and what
do you think she did? MY friend happened to
be there at the time and saw this done) She
lay down at the horses feet, and mewed and
looked up, and mewed and looked several
times, till at last Pony, seeming to understand
her wants, reached down, took the cat in his
teeth, and tossed her up on the scaffOld to her
kittens, who, doubt not, were glad enough to
see her This MIR. e. told me he saw repeated
morning after morning. Kit would roll off into
the Manager, 90 and get her breakfast, come
back, and be tossed up to her family by the kind
horse, who must have understood cat language
and been willing TO listen to ii.

The RAILROADS OF lNDIA.-The railroads of
India are doing more, it seems to me, for the
conversion Of Hindoos, if not Mohammedans,
than all the missionaries; and If the English
government here would give little bit of pref
erence 10 the Holy Bible over the ShastraS, and
Nedas, and the KoranS (Only a little bit) |
should have some hope that the railroads would
do what the missionariei have, for now two CEN
tuT1es, not done-that is, turn the people from
the error OF their ways The railroad is breaking
down slowly the Hindoo castles The proud, and
lofty, and purebOoded Bramin must now go in
into the same car with the poor, despsed pariah
or not go at ALL The hard-hearted English con-
ductor pushes in, or tumbeS in, pariah
on top of Bramin, and Mohammedans
among them, too. Each wraps up his gar.
ments around him, and preserves himself as
much as possible, from the horrible contamin-
alton; but when once holy Bramn is in the
car with polluted pariah, go he must, or jump
out and die. The railroad now has become here
the great vein of life, the heart as it were of the
geographical anatomy of the country; and
hence, this mixed circulation of all these various
religious sects and bloods in it, is amalgamatng,
slowly, despite religion, caste and creed. And
this is happening in a land, too, where, if even
the shadow of a Christian or q MOhammedan,
parlah, should pass over the food of a Bramin,
he would not eat it, or over his body, he would
feel himself polluted. Railroads are great level
ers everywhere; but railroads in India are level
ing heathenism, and may, by-and-by, bring it
up to Christianity. What cOnquers caste here
equalizes What equalizes heathenlsm here,
strips it of its PRIDE sefishness, exclusiveness,
etc, and thus prepares it for something better
than itself.-Br0OkS' "Seyen Months Run"

THE DANGEROUS Districts" OF LONDON.
Colonel HigginSon, who is now sojourning in
London, was very much disappointed in the
morality of that city; that is, he found it SO
much better than he eXpected-so says Mr.. Com
way. Having always read and heard of the
dangerous districts" of London, where no re-
specially dressed person was safe from affront
at least, if not absolute assault, he, Yankee
like, sought them out and investigated them for
himself He walked alone through "Seven
Dials, " but was unnoticed, although dressed in
irreproachabe black; next he tried st. Giles,
with the corner OF his pccket-handkerchef
temptingly displayed, but he came out with
pockets unpicked, having encountered nothing
more formidable than "some old women peering
at him over rows of dilapdated shoes which
they protested TO sell, and which are generally
supposed to have all been taken by force off the
feet of wayiarers. sAll Of which rather disgust
ed the colonel, But Mr.. Conway, who knows
London better, secs an explanation of his safe
passage through these places, in the military
WHISPERS and independent bearing of the New
Highlander, which deceived the inhabitants into
thinking him disguised policeman.
