Ious Escapes.

New YORK, June l5.-The steamer The
Queen reports that en- June 18th, three
hundred miles east Of Sandy Hook, during
dense fog, she came into collision with
the steamer Anchoris, from New York
for Glasgow. Both vessels were very
seriously damaged, and for while il
it was thought that both vessels would 90
down. The Queens bow was stove in
badly.
The Queen TOOK of all the passengers oi
the Anchoria, one hundred and eighty in

Anchoria, striking her inst lorewGfd OF
the bridge on the starboard side. The

rooms OF the Anch0ria, In which three
young ladies' were; their escape was mir
aculous. There was great excitement on
board both vessels, but no one vas rjnred.
Two Compartments OF the Anchoria were
filled with water, and as there was now
every prospect ot the ship sinking, it was
determined 10 transfer the passengers to
Tho Queen.
The seA was very calm, and the trans
for was accomplished in sstety. The
passengers state that the crew OF the An.
c1oria became denoralized, and three OF
them Ieaped aboard the Qneen before the
vessels parted. The passengers had to
assist in launching the Anchoria's boats,
and the sailors were the first 10 jump into

He's most extraordinary man in that way" This was more than the greenhorn could swallow, so he took the bet. The wag took a large pin from his waistcoat, and leaning forward droyeit up to the head into the sergeant's leg.

SILK-W0RM CULTURE.
A Pennsylvania Womap's Success fin Rais.
 ing the Worms. phflada1ph,a prcux


 About 60,000 silk-worms are at work on the farm of Frank Graf, in Birming- ham, Delaware county, Penn, and right lively, too, some of them being almost done, and straw-colored cocoons are piling up thick and fast. The worms are being supervised by Miss Martha Hamilton, living at MT. Grafi7s, and she fatters herself that for her first attempt she is doing remarkably we'll She bought the eggs, and after they had matched, at which time they are as fine as hair and have to be lifted about with camel's hair brush, immediately proceeded 10 feed them mulberry leaves. Their growth IS very rapid. ,.and 1T six weeks time they-are- -ful size, heIng nearly three inches long. TheyrarcA perfectly rayenous ill their appetite, and it is no small job to find enough food for them, and the country miles around was secured in search of mulberry trees, which, as is we'll known, are not nViner ous in that vicinity. When the whole mass would begin their feast on l the leaves the noise made by them sydnded like rain falling on the roof.
 While feeding, the worm is ot light green color and is soft as velyet to the touch. Along the body are. TIne small breathing holes. The insectss as might be imagined from their eatinag powers, have strong serrated jaws, which soon eat through leaf. Some of, the worms have escaped from their mistress and gotten up on the roof of the barn, and are there spinning away at their cocoons. The silk while in the worm is a gum exuded in two strands. These unite and form one thread of silk. The worm in starting its cocoon first makes an outer covering of floss silk, within which they spin the silk, bending the head and body up and down the crossing to every side, entirely surrounding the body, as protection against the wind and cold Thus in making a covering for itself this insect makes the covering for thousands of gayly-attired women of all ages and every cline. The cocoon made, the worm passes into a chrysalis state and comes forth a moth fly to lay eggs and then die. Thus does the race continue.
 The silk.grower, however, if he wants the eggs, allows the worm to go throuh all these stages; but if he wants the silk he "chokes" the worm while in the chrysalis state, for if it is allowed to eat it's way out the thread of the silk is broken and valueless. The cbrysalis is .'choked," or otherwise killed, by heating it over a fire or throwing it in'o boiling water. The labor attending this, silk industry is not a light one. no whether there is ans BasN' "--

PERILOuS NAVIGATION. ,
Trip of the Dory ,1ittIe Western Across
 st the Atlantic. s g8aa

t the Atlantic. 8Hag4
 New York Herald.
 A dispatch justreeeived from the fer ald correspondent at the Scilly Islands reports that the dory Little Western, with the two adventurous mariners forming her crew, had passed tbere. The expedition of the Little Western, nov virtually accomplished, is one of the most remarkable voyages of modern times. She is the smallest craft that ever attempted to cross the Atlantic. Her tripproves that it is not alor the large steamships and sailing vessels that dare brave the dangers of midocean. The Little Western, manned by George P. Thomas and Frederick Norman, sailed from Gloucester, Mass, on June F. She was first spoken on June 30 in. lati- tude A, longitude 47. by the steamer Bulgarian. The captain offered to take the two men of, but they declined.
 The Little Western was next spoken on July 10, by the Bremen steamer Neckar. The chief officer of the Neckar, in speaking of the incident said: We met the Little Western right slap in midocean. 1t was on the afternoon of July 10, shortly after noon, that we sighted a a.tiny speck on the horizon. It was bright, clear day, but . stiff breeze had started the sea in lively style, so that even the Necllar heaved about like sick porpose. You can imagine how difficult it was to get, through our tele- scopes, glimpse of the little black atom which danced in the distance. At first it was thought that some vessel had run into an iceberg and left her crew afloat. tC Ixr to pick up the wrecked men, and all the passengers crowded to the rall, eager to see what they anticipated would be a dozen or more starving sailors. In a few minutes the dark spot proved to be a white one, and then we made out a small boat, with mainsail and jib set, scudding along at spanking rate, As we approached the tiny craft the crew and passengers were thunderstruck. 1t was the strangest sight ever saw. Just think of running across q vessel no big ger than one of our lifeboats steering on her course as though merely cruising in New York harbor. When we got near enough l saw. two men on board, The boat was a large dory, decked over trimly, and they were seated in the | hatchway, not seeming to have noticed our presence. When the captain yelled out to them the two voyaCers looked up | in apparent surprise, and one of them cried out, Look out there; in another mlnute we'll run you downp This raised a laugh among the passengers who gave three cheers for the two men who answered the usual nautical inqui. ries, This is the ship Little Western | sailed from East Gloucester, Mass, or June 10. We are bound for England anu don't you forget it. The strangers faces were weather-beaten and bronzed but they seemed quite happy. They said that the voyage was a pleasant on' and their boat was storm-proof. Befor' we left them the occupants of the durt refused to take any provisions, sayini that they were well stocked. As tn the two vessels kept together the differ ence in size, added to the independen demeanor of the men, made the scent humorous.
