A disastrous shipwreck occurred ofl Sandy Hook on Tuesday night, by which tb" purkat-ahip I***i!.-YYiihU running L° - tween Liverpool and this city, was ..nearly lost, with all her valuable cargo of m«rchandiso and precionli freight of human beings. 7 i The story of the digaatar, as gleaned from a passenger at Castle < larden last night, was, briefly staled, as follows: Tire The Isw Wcbb. Capt. .1. C. Stowell, left Liverpool on the morning ol the 13th September, with A vAhiaMe assorted cargo and 324 passengers, most ol.whnm were Irish, and a few German. The early part of the voyage was agreeable, fine weather and fair breezes being enjoyed, and there was pvery prospect of a speedy! succutsful trip. Alter a few days howdver, a fierce storm arose, with the most vibleift head winds, and vary heavy seas, and this uniortunntei statu of things continued t/iroughopt the passage. , , _ Toward the end of the first week the Captain, while on deck superintending management of the vessel, was struck upon tho head by one of tho heavy blocks which foil from the rigging, and was instantly killed. This proved an unfortunate event for the passengers, ns the death of the mnsbfr of the ship d'-moralized the crew, and left the control of the vessel, at a most perilous juncture, wholly without responsible direction. The first male, of course, snCceeded the deceased Captain in command, but ho did not seem to have the same amount, of influence with the crew as his predeqvssor. and matters were all at loose ends. The crew djd mn«h as they pleased, but to their credit it is said that each man did all that he conld for the safety of the vessel and the welfare of those on Ixiard. » ' " I —_—.... I The storm continued with slmost unabated filry throughout the voyage, and many were the hairbreadth escapes from a fearful doom. When the Banks of Newfoundland had been almost reached, the ship was found to be in a sinking condition, and fears were entertained that she conld not reach port in safety. The first mate demurred to run into but the crew demurred, and led by the second mate, peremptorily refused to obey orders, the leader of the fitutinous liody -presenting a pistol to the head of his superior and threatening to blow his brains out unless he clniuged orders. Directions wens necordiugly modified, and the . vessel was Si. ere,l for this port. The ship was filling rapidly, and it was necessary to employ the entire*]!* Hunger company in turns to work the pumps, and this was done day and night. To add to the misfortunes of the situation, tho supply of provisions and Water gave out, and starvation stared the company in the face. Fortunately, an bound vessel was passed, which furnished a small stock of provisions and water, and thus replenished, h<>|>e Itogan to dawn upon sight’ d ou Tuesday night, but a terrible storm ] ire vailed, and again did hope vanish, as utter destruction seemed inevitable. The saili: had all been blown from the masta, tho anchors lost, and the ship became entirely unmanagable, in which condition she was stranded between the Outer middle channel and the beach, off Sandy Hook. Portions of the cargo were thrown overboard in order to lighten tho vessel, and the pnmps were still vigorously worked. By- these almost superhuman exertions the ship wan so far saved, and yesterday morning the inmates were rescued from their perilous situation by the steamer Philip, belonging to the New York Submarine Co. While on the way to Sandy Hook, at about 7 o’clock in the mbrniug, Captain Chas. Hazzard, oi the Philip, descried the disabled vessel, from which the most urgent appeals for help were being signaled by the passengers and crew. When reached the vessel was louud to have eight fyet of water in her hold, and was thumping very heavily on the sea was tremendous,"tanking a complete breach over her. Gapt. Hazzard Bueeeedefl, at great risk, in getting n hawser to the ship, and with the ussistnnce of the steam tug Yankee, Capt. Heunesy.towed her into shoal water, inside Sandy Hook. If it had not been fofl Capt. Hazzard’s timely assistance, the ship must have gone to pieces on the beach and a great many lives would have been lost; and to him too much credit cannot be

given -for-hitr •geueroiis’Tianng: The passengers were all transferred on board the Yankee, and brought up to the city at about (> o'clock last evening, and landed at Castle Garden. Cupt. Waters, agent of the Submarine Company, has three powerful steam pumps on Iward the ship, and is in nopes that, after discharging more of the cjirgo, lie can pump out the water and bring her to the city. Superintendent Kennedy, of the -Metropolitan Police, sent- Officer--Daniels’ down, who rendered very efficient aid in transferring the passengers, who were completely demoralized They hud worked at the pumps for thirty days and nights, and were greatly exhausted, having had but littlp sleep, and only one and a half biscuits each since lost Sunday. Five of the passengers actually died of hunger, and were buried in the ocean. The Captain’s body was imperfectly embalmed, placed ' iu a rough piuebox, aud removed from the vessel last evening to No. 107 South street, whence it will be token to the dead-house to await the action of the authorities. The passengers when landed presented a wretched appearance, and when they sat down to the bounteous- feast-prepared for them by,the Castle Garden officials, they ate voraciously, and afterward retired to comfortable beds for tha first time iu many nights. All that could be done was done to make the condition of the unfortunate creatures comfortable, and many were the expressions of gratitude that were poured i I’ortli by the rescued. j Tjho Isaac Webb is one of the well- I known A I packet ships of the Black Ball Line, owned by C.

Isfcsobial, Earth «< of which immense deposits exist in Maryland; Virginia and elsewhere;) is now many purposes, in the arts, in addition to its furbishing an interesting field of investigation to the microscopist and naturalist. Sculptors’ models, made of the usual cldy, mixed with this earth, do not crack or spring either in drying or baking. Added to sealing-wax, it prevents the too rapid dropping when molted, and does not affect the color. The substances usually employed for tho purpose, gypsum and barytes, are open to many objections that de not apply to .this earth. It is used to great advantage jn polishing metals, aud is an excellent article for cleaning glans, either windows or mirrors. For this latter purpose it is mixed with water and smeared over the surface, and afterwards rubbed off with a piece of chamois leather. It is said to be superior to all other substances as a moulding sand, taking the finest and most delicate impressions. United with nitroglycerine, it forms the new blasting powder, dynamite, soinueh safer in use than the’liquid explosive. !.• 1 A gekeleman of Maduon relates the following incident: “Going home he observed in his yard a cat, with heal, tail and hair erect, every.nerve trembling with excitement, looking intently at a hen which was sitting in the grass, its head also erect, looking at the cat. The latter approached cautiously, and slowly, toward the hen. Wheu alteut three feet from the chicken, and, about, to spring upon it, the gentleman pished to the rescue and drove away the ekt.

Agricultural.

FARM, HARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. Ta vino Cattlh Ya»dh-However excellent our blaek prairie noil may be for producing crop*, it. ia certain that it ia a very poor material for cattle yorda. Jt jß,noft,' porona and yielding, The rain that falls upon it BaiurateH it with water like a sponge. The feet of tho poor animals tramp iuta tliia their own offal, while their urine is added to the ulrertdy miry muss. Tbtit feet are constantly wet, and the cold sn received extends to their whole bodies. No hnman being can be comfortable with cnntiniiftl.wnt fiat, nor is it possible long to remain in a perfect atatc of health under inch circumstances; and tho same is true, though not perhaps to the same, e^tilit, with cattle. , A few years ago it was found that the horses on the Ni.w York city liotso-rail-ronds suffered greatly from pneumonia, lung complaints, rheumatism, and diseases of the hoof. An inquiry into the matter brought out the fact that their feet were in water for a considerable portion of th<r tinii. they ‘•Swe’yiu the road. This water , was in some Macs produced by melting snow by means of salt; it being found cheaper "to remove the snow from the track in this manner than by the use of the shov 1. A similar course produces much sickness amitrig farm stock; and there can be no donbt that one greet reason yhy so many cattle get through the winter badly, is owing to the l*et that they are rendered veiy uncomfortable from having no suitable ’ place on which to sumd in tho yard, It requires much more food to keep stock in even tolerable condition, in sack a vaxd. than would be required to keep thorn in good order in a suitable yard. It is believed that there would bo enough saved in hay aud grain in two years, in tho majority of cases, to thoroughly jiave a yard, and to put it in a condition to last a life time. We are well aware that there is a great scarci tv of paving material in most parts of the Weal; still, there arc few places where some substance suitable for the purpose cannot be obtained. t Flat stones laid on a smooth and somewhat elevated surfiice, will answer the purpose nicely. Bricks laid in mortar are also good. A plank flooring in many localities is not expensive, and is only open to the objection of bftjng slippery in wet weather. - Any of tlusie surfaces can be easily cleaned off, and cattle can stand ou them with comfort to themselves ,aud profit to Akeir owners. It.jjj.BULnecessary thattho entire "yard"be so covered, but there should bo Sidlicient standing room to accommodate, all the stock. There would be an advantage in having t\V>-or more places in the yard so covered that young cuttle driven from one place can take reluge on the other. It would ba well to have snch a flooring under one of the open sheds which should bo in every yard, and one. where it would be exposed to the constant sunshine. . Doubtless the Nicolson pavement would bo tho very best covering for farm yards; but as it is expeusive, and patented withal, it is perhaps not practical to nite it. If laid, it will be best to iirrange it so as to form aii undulating surface, like several, street tracks placed side by side. This would afford good drainage; aud it* is found that cuttle prefer such :i surface to Ole which is on a level. Piairie Parmer. Culttoe of Flowkbs. —“S. W.” writes to the N. Y r . Timi s toiiehing the cnltnie of flowers, thus: “I read con amore. yonr essay on floriculture. David Thom is used to say that it pained him to look upon house plants struggling for dear life against their wouldbe friends. It once did me good to hear him dilate on the matchless beauty of the great pond-lilly,' only to be found in full perfection when grown up from vegetable remains in stagnant water. He looked •upon it as one of Nature’s fairest and purest floral perfections, that no artificial culture could hope to attain. How often do we see house plants languishing in pots, stuck out in Irout of an ambitious mansion as • a ‘rare show,’ wheu they look worse to the true lover of Flora than did tho standing flower that struggled so hard to live in Picoli’s prison yard. AVe have a gorgeous bed of verbenas in variegated bloom when everything else is ‘sere mid yellow,'in our never-ending drought. Leaf mould, such as we get from the great deciduous leaf deposit in our northern swamps, is indispensable to the perfect bloom of flowers. Our calcareous clay is rich in coloring matter, particularly iron in. a peroxide state, but I take it that do flower in a pot can put on the fine fresh tints that it acquires in the well-treated-berder. An ngapablhus makes a fine show in full bloom in a large pot, at a distance; but it will nos boar close examination, and no wonder, as the sides of the largest pot will be found matted on the inside with tlie-fine roots of the plant, struggling for more earth.” i. .

To make Sausage.—A good sausage grinder is almost as essential to a well ordered kitchen as a coffee mill. Tho propoi tion of tot meat to lean will depend ’ "somewhat ou the taste of different people, but there should iii all cases, be a sufficient amount of fat in them to supply what is needed iu cooking. If the pork you design for sausage contains too little lean, you i can supply tho dettcioncy by adding beef, which is less expensive, aud which forms with the jiork a mixture whicli is preferred by many to pork uloue. The most difficult part of sausage making is the seasoning. Many housewives have no rule about it, but add some salt, and pepper, aud sage; cook a sample; find it not seasoned highly enough, and try it over again; finally, from too little seasoning, the maker manages to get in too much, for having tasted for some time the substances used, theirflavor is not so distinct as at first. An excellent proportion is to add to 100 pounds Of chopped meat, tvxj and a half pounds of salt, ten ounces of black pepper, and eight ounces of well : dried sage leaves. It is preferable to buy : the whole pepper corns, and to grind them i at home, as ground pepper is often aduli terated, and always loses its strength after being ground. Sage also often deteriorates by exposure to the air and moisture; but if it is in good condition, the above proportion will be most acceptable to the majority of tastes. | It is true that there are some persons who prefer other herbs besides sage, such as summer savory and thyme, and there are a few who relish spices of various kinds; but where sausages are to be made to suit the tastes of several persons, we must be careful not to add any substapco that will offend the taste of any one. All the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed together, stuffed in skins or bags made of cotton cloth, or placed in shallow earthern dishes. Their flavor is better after they have been made some days, than it is immediately after they are made. An Item for Tree Gbowebs. —Charles Downing says he witnessed a remarkable change produced on the body of a pear tree by means of wrapping it in straw. The tree was a Brown Beurre, grafted about 7 feet high, upon a stock which for years had not grown as rapidly as a graft usually does, and presented a decMed bulge or swelling at the junction of the graft. This smaller portion was incased in straw about two inches thick, and at the end of two seasons it was found on removing the straw that the heretofore smaller stem had become the full size of the graft above, presenting but slight indication of the .past union between graft. This ia an item of interest, and many treegrowers who have .frees with contracted stems, evidence of some natural leant of affinity with the graft, may find it a hiht for practical use. We have ourselves practiced wrapping jho stem of Morello cherries when worked at a height of two ‘or three feet, with the free growing or sweet varieties, with moss, and thus kept them swelling regularly with the growth ot the graft for yeafs, says a grower.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY. I have'said lit Ho in those letters of domestic yr social life. W<* are so engrossed with public affairs, and so much given to minding other people's business, that we forget that house-life and its comforts oi- diseomfints are the joy or banc ol onr existence. Science and art have contributed much to lighten domestic duties, and machinery now performs much of the domestic labor foinu'ily..ik>ne by hand Tbciic ia scaiusoly a branch <rf household service that has not called sonic new invention i r improved machine to its aid, and wu knit and sow by machinery, and wash and iron, as well an cook, by steam. All these modurfi appliances, by which one does the work of many, lend to relieve woman from excessive and urotracted toil, and give her leisure to improve her mind and tit her for equal companionship with man. And no invention lias done more to accomplish so desirable a result than that of SEWING machines. The number of which, manufactured and in constant use, is almost incredible. There is a great variety of these machine;*, ench with some peculiarity, and it is not a little noteworthy that equally intelligent aud skiilfui operators prefer different machines. The chief obstacle to their coming into universal use is their high price. And competition and new inventions will soon remove this difficulty. A ladv recently madchiquiryoTtheFar'lHefs T Ciub7of New York, whether there wits any sewing; machine made and in the maiketi capable of doing tho work wliich tho Standard machines do, which are sold at a moderate price. There have been many machines whose inventors have claimed forthem those two requisites—cheapness and ability to do all kinds of family sowing- but most of them have mjlodto stanu tho test of a thorough trial, 'ikiere is no good reason why the Standard machines should not be cheap, save in the gomlnf-their-owners. But as long as they are protected by patent aud combine together they can command an exorbitant price for them. Of course, the public will welcome the advent of any new machine, of moderate price, that will do as good work as the high priced machines. -THE WILSON SEWING MACHINE CO., For whom E. Smith A Co. are General Agents at 143 La Hallo street, Chicago, claim for the Wilson Sewing Machine these advantages; . It is simple, perfect, and can be operated easily, eVdii by a child. It makes the celebrated lock-stitch alike on both sides, and will not rip nor ravel. It will stitch, hem, fell, tuck, bind, braid eord, gather, aud sew the finest and heaviest fabrics, and ia especially adapted to all family sewing aud tailoring. It is warrantKd, aud will be kept in good repair three years free of cost. I have tried this machine in my own family, and scon it operate clsifwhere, and it fully meets tneso claims. As it is sold at about two-thirds the price qf other machines, it is within the reach of all.

AMUSEMENTS. The clergy keep up the fight every Sunday on Popular Amusements; the orthodox oii one side and the liberal bn the other. The secular and literary press advocate the legitimate drama and opera, and tlie religious press condemn tho whole catalogue. The result of this discussion is, that the places of amusement are filled to overflowing. the scats all being taken at Wood’s and ‘McVicker’s a day or two in advance.

Hard Money in Nev’ada. —The Virginia (Nevada) Enterprise has the following: c ‘ Parties from White Pine tell it ns a fact that in tho towns iu that region lumps of silver ore are used as a circulating medium, and are found to answer very well in the absence of a sufficiency of coin. Even at the gaming tables ore goes. The kind of ore used is the pure chloride which is so rich as to be quite malleable. 4 miner with a saek of this kind of currency under his arm marches up to the faro table, taken out a chunk and plants it upon a card, calling its value as he puts it down. For instance', tho chnnk is supposed to bo worth five dollars: the miner; as he puts down his lump, says: .Five dollarr.' The faro man picks up the piece, looks'at it, and, ifsatisfled, says; ‘Five dollars goes;’ then wins thp lump and throws it into a gunny sack standing behind him." Fire-Damp.—A new ievention, by M. Delannier. of Paris, for destroying fire-damp in mines, han been laide before the French Academy of Sciences. It consist of copper conductor, broken at intervals, but joined' by very fine gold wire soldered to the copper; the gold wire being surrounded by flowers of sulphur, which ignite easily. By passing strong currents of electncty through the copper wire, the gold wirfi becomes redhot, and thus ignites the sulphur, which burns any noxious gases which may be present. It will,' of course, be understood that the electric current as made to pass through the apparatus before the descent of the miners into the mine. The Academy of Sciences have reported very favorable oil M. Delaunior’s invention. —Tetanus, cdtnmonly hailed lock-jaw> has been successfully treated by repeated applications of chloroform to the spine. T ■

The Fastest Ocean Steamer in the World.

Tho Brooklyn Union of Friday morning baa the following; “On Monday J, noon, steam Was got up on the United States qefe# steamship Neshaininy, for the purpose of testing the powerful machinery with Which has recently been fitted. Tho ship lies moored off the wharf adjoining thejilry dock in the'navy yard of thw c it y “ and has been an objegt of no little curiosity and interest since. Th<{ Neshamiuy forma ons of tho five gjg. ter ships ordered to be built during tielato war. The depredations of tho Alabama, th o Florida and other privateers, their extraordinary speed, which enabled Mr. Raphael Semines aud hjs brother corsairs to laugh at the vary fleetest of their pursuers, as well iui the blockadmunningfoatsof the nimblest fleet of craft that oversailed from the Clyde or the Mersqy, bothered Uncle Sun somewhat, and the construction of five ships, in which speed should lie the chief result aimed at, was determined upon. There are, besides tho Nesliaminy, the Wanpanoag, Ainonoosuc, Mtubwasca and I’ompanoosue. Nashamiuy is piero rd for sixteen eleveninch gnus, will carry a pivot on the forecastle,' is of six thousand horse imwer, and can make seventeen knots—tventy-one miles? or, at ti pinch, twenty-two miles an hour. This is two knots an hour faster than the fastest ocean steamer afloat. If calk d into active service she will bo barque rigged; but after tho present contract trial of the machinery is over, it is the intention to lay the vessel up.in ordinary, “The designs for tho Neshaminy win made at Washington, under the direction pf Mr. Lenthul, chief construction. She is of about three thousand two hundred tons. Mr. B. F. Isherwood, Chief of tho Bureau of Steam Engineering designed the machinery, which was made by John Boach A, Son, of the Etna Works, New York. She has two engines a one hundred-inch cylinder, with -our feet stroke, the screw revolving twice as fast us the eniuk-sliaft, There are eight main boilers and lour super-heat-ers. Tho services of ten engineers and hbout a hundred and sixty coal passers and firemen would be required if the vessel should ever bo put in commission. “The totid length is 335 feet 160 feet of which is occupied with the engines; width over all, 15 feet, and depth of hold, 22 feet. .Under full steam, tho vessel will require 120 i to 110 tons of coal daily. At the close of' the trail the engines were reported us working its near perfection as it seems possible tu attain.

How Mosaics are Made.

A traveler, writing from tho Continent, says: The mosaics seem to absorb the moat time and money in tho least space, unless it lie the gold decorations. We saw a tabla last week less tliaft six feet in diameter, said to have cost two hundred thousand dollars, requiring the labor of a large number of men for fifteen years. On entering the hull where this kind of work is done, I could not doubt these enormous figures. Suppose, for instance; a thousand of tho hardest and most expensive stones which will take on a high polish, to bo cut into pieces three-eighths of an inch thick, i’heso pieces are cut the other way into small jiieces like shoe pegs, and whore the shading from one color to another is sudiKnTThcse pegs must not be larger than a needle. Now the artist cuts and puts in those little pieces elected according to their color, so as to give the coloring wanted by the workmen ns distinct as though painted. Those pieces or jiegs must be fitted so, closely that lines of separation will not show, and set upon end, side by side, like type. They claim that ten thousand shades. of color aro nccesaary; and in order to do. this kind of work a man must be skilled in., colors and shades as a painter, in order to. place the colors properly; then be the. most careful in order to place the pieces, and then he must have patience enough to work on tho cheapest and coarsest pictures one year, and upon a line one from ten to twenty years.—Scientific American.
