The .Weekly Star, HOW HULL SPLIT, HIS TIGHTS. ; ; An Old Story orthe Fight Between tbe Constitution and the Guerriere. r From the New York World. . v ! - The late Ogden Hoffman, who was a midshipman with him, used to tell an odd story of the engagement be tween "Old Ironsides" &nd the Guer riere. lie said that as the ships drew near to each other an officer came in haste to Hull to ask for orders to fire.; "Not yet," was the quiet re sponse. As they came- still - nearer and the British vessel poured in her fire, the First Lieutenant of the Con stitution came on the poop and beg ged permission to return the broad side, saying that the men could not be restrained much longer. .".Not yet," was the reply. . Still nearer the British ship came, and the American nnsoners wno were in tne cock- pit of " " the - jGuerriere afterwards said . that . they, began to . be lieve that their own countrymen were afraid to measure their strength with the enemy, and this thought gave them more pain than the wounds which some of them werev suffering from. In a moment ' the tiuerriere gallantly came forward, showing her j burnished sides, " and as the swell carried her close to the very muzzles of "Old Ironsides," Captain Hull, who was then quite fat and dressed in full tights, bent himself twice to the deck) and, Iwith every muscle and vein ; throbbing with excitement, shouted out: 'New, boys pour it in to them." That broadside settled their opponents, and when the smoke cleared away; their commander's tights were to be seen split from waistband to ; heel. Hull, nothing disconcerted, gave orders with per fect coolness, and only changed his tights when the British commander's sword was given np. - r ' - "' Wild Horses In Australia. . j; From the Colonies and.India. : i Horses which . escaping now and then from the paddocks of" colonists on the edge of the settled districts of Australia, have made themselves at home in the freedom and. abundant pastures ot tnei interior, nave muiti- piiea to sucn .an extern, uiab uoiwuu- i standing, the numbers captured! or shot every year, it is estimated : that there are something- like 100,000 of them in the two most populous1: poP onies Victoria l. and New South' Wales or roaminsr the plains im mediately contiguous to their borders, To Europeans the proposal to have a I -. . . , v- lav's horse-shooting sounds mex- tressiblv barbarous; but the Aus- iralian farmers, near - the interior re gard the troops of wild horses which av often be L seen trespassmo- on heir inclosed lands as vermin.

Tlfo s Sbout 23 years old, . ' v-1 : r.r - From a Cotton Spinner. Editor of the Star: ! have been very much interested lately in read ing your various' articles i on cotton spinning and manufacturing in the Southern States, and fully endorse all your remarks. It is a good and safe investment for capitalists and other parties of smaller means to in vest their money ' in cotton 'mills, if they are "well arranged" and "effi ciently managed;" but the great mis take of many mills in the South is in having superintendents who have no "practical . knowledge"; of the busi ness, hence the reason why so many pay such very small dividends and some of them none at alL. . A cotton mill to be successful should be "man aged" not merelyurperintended- by a "thorough practical man," who is thoroughly acquainted with all the details -in each , department, or how can he know when anything ls goin' wrong, which sometimes happens? Of the relative advantages of water or steam as a motive power much may be said for both. Water power is an advantage if there is an "abun- dant and constant" supply of water, and it the mill is located near-a rail- way depot; the disadvantage of it is tne want ot uniform speed. iJrom steam power one regular and uniform speed can be obtained if the engine is properly constructed, . and any practical man knows the advantage ot regular speed. If steam power is used the engine should be worked on the "compound principle," and it and the boiler f should have all the appli ances that are to be had for reducing the consumption of fuel to a mini mum. Nothing so' surprises1 me than to see high pressure engines used, be cause the consumption of fuel, is so much greater than with one working high and low pressure. In all the mills I have seen in the South there is a great waste of; "floor space" ; for the quantity of machinery in the mill, thereby causing a' greater out lay, than; is - necessary in build4 ing yi the mill. - There is also a great want of proper management of the machinery, which prevents "econo- mizing labor" to the fullest extents l would not advise any one to build a mm mi win noia less iaau o,uuy spindles' and 160 looms ; and a mill of that capacity could- be erected and filled with machinery - with All the latest improvements for about $120,- 000, and 5 if properly "managed should pay ; handsome dividends. Small mills, with 500 to 1,500 spin- dies, are very undesirable; they can-? - . i - i- - : T ' : - not oe worjteu. as auvanxageousiy as a moderate size milL If agreeable! to you, I shall be glad-to refer to this. matter again in another letter. .
