To free black silk from dust, noth is better then rubbing with a black woolen glove.

Gregor and Mr. Dickson were ing side by side and drawing them Mrs Padelford on a sled. W hen about a mile from shore the CouDt broke through the ice at a point where tho Potomac is sixty feet deep. Almost instantly the ice cracked again and Dr. Dickson disap peaied, leaving Mrs. Padelford float ing alone on a cake of ice. Mr. Po ters, who was not far away, witness ed what had occurred and hastened to the rescue. Observing that Mrs, Peters was temporarily safe on the floating ice cake,he attempted to as sist bis two friends who were in the water, but the ice gave way again, and he, also, was precipitated into the river. At this point, Mrs. Ord way, who was watching the party from the shore, fainted. The patrol at the Navy Yard also saw wliat had happened and hurried a number of sailors off to tho rescue. They went first to the three who were in the water, but the gentle men refused to receive assistance until Mrs. Padelford had been res cued from the floating cake of ice. So thin was the coating of the Poto mac, that it was with the greatest difficulty the rope to the sled was secured, and it was some minutes be fore the solitary tenant of the ice cake was safely lauded. Attention was then directed to Mr. Peters, Dr. Dickson and the Count, who were partially benumbed by their long stay iu the water. They were rescued with difficulty live of the blue jackets themselves getting iold baths through the breaking of the treacherous surface.
