TIlE HUASb AR.

D)eaoription of the Chief Vessel of the Peru-

vian Navy, 0aptured the OtherDay by the Chilians.

4 IN. Y. Herald.lThe Huascar was built by Messrs. Lloyd,

o the Clyde, in 1865, for Peru. She is 180 feetlons, 35 feet beam, 1100 tons burden, draws 16feet of water, and her average rate of speedlI 13 knots. She has quarters for 1000 men,but ordinarily carries only 300. Her bulwarksare of three-eighths iron, arranged so as to beremoved in action, leaving her deck only fourlett above water. She has two iron masts,withwire rigging, and has two heavy ironbraces extending from the sides of the deckto the foretop, but those are intended to beremoved in an engagement so as to be out ofthe way of the guns in the turret. The hullis ten inches of teak and seven inches of ironplating. The turret consists of eleven inchesof teak and eight and a half inches of iron,and is six feet high above the deck,although the floor In the interior islower than that outside, affording plenty ofroom for working the guns. There are two-800-pounder Armstrong rifled guns in the tur-ret,_and two 40-pounder guns of the same

aanufacturein open battery upon deck. Theturret is worked by hand, sixteen men beingrequired for that purpose. The two 300-pounders are divided by an iron partition andrequire six men each. The only objectionsthat present themselves are the forecastleand poop deck which prevent firing forwardor astern, the heavy, iron masts and the com-plicated machinery used in working the guns.The latter is entirely different from theAmerican system, and is not only so complexas to bewilder any one who undertakes tounderstand it, but is very liable to disar-rangement in the excitement of action. Thereis a complete labyrinth of chains, cogwheels,cranks, shafts and ropes, with the use ofwhich nothing but long practice can familiar-Ie one. Her officers have always spoken inhigh terms of her seagoing qualities, withthe exception that she ships a good deal ofwater. She is in one or two respects inferiorto the best American iron-clads. She has alarge surface of hull exposed; her guns aredeprived of a clean sweep in consequence ofher maeets; her turrets are not very easilyhandled, and her rifled Armstrongs have lesseffect than American smooth-bores of thesame calibre.

FIRST IRON-CLAD FIGHT ON THE PACIFIO.The Huascar first distinguished herself by

capturing two Spalnish vessels during Peru'swar with Spain in 1866, and afterward took..art in the defeat of the fleet at Callao. Shewas concerned in most .f the revolutionary

nmovements of Peru that occurred during thet ten years. In May, 1877, she was seized

by the followers of Pierola, the rebel, and wasforthwith declared a pirate by the Peruviangovernment. The British men-of-war Shahand Amethyst were mainly instrumental inTeducing her to allegiance. Her encounterwith these vessels was the first that hadtaken place between iron-clads in the Pacific.

-Before meeting the Shah the Huascar hadto encounter the iron-clad frigate Indepen--dineta, corvette Union and gunboat Pilco-:nayo. The fight continued for an hour anda half at rifle range; then, darkness coming--o the Huascar thought lt advisable to de-Miaapn. At Iloilo on the evening of the twen-ly-ninth firing was heard far out at sea, and

y1 afterward the Huasecar was seenata mg in toward shore. Night fell and

ihip disappeared. All manner of conjeo-e p'eiite foied, but no reason could be

given for the firing, save that the ebel shiphad come into ~dllslon with the ihah andAmethyst1 who were on the lookout for her onacaoult of depredations committed by heron the royal mail steamers and her seizureof coal from a British merchant ship at Plea-gus. This proved to be correct. Next morn-ing three of Pierola's adherents put off In abiroat for the Ilndrpndencla, saying that theyhad mett the Engllih ships the night before,and hadl been esurrmoned to surrender in thename of the Queen. The Shah had thenopened fire on the iluasoar, anl the fire wtasreturnedl as well as the limlter l crew on hoardcould work the goUns. Directly she ran ashore,and the English vessels did not pursuo lherA Into I'Pruvian water. This was the Llret navalbattle in 'Peruvian revolutionary history.

The ullascar left Arioe on the twentioth ofA ug•usi., boiund south on one rof her audaciousvoyages along the (Jiliruan conest, and calleda few diays after at Antofagasta, wherl twowooden Chlilllan corvettee wrestatlioned, but,for some reason noIt given, did not attackthern. The story was curre'nt that the 1 Ras-car had a now torpedo of English Iranufac-ture on hboard, with an operative brought outSexreissly to handle te tl danigerous weapon.SWhen the, two vessels of the nmllly were d(ie-erledl ltear Admihral (rar tihought It rIas aigood opportunity totry tile torpedo, althoulghhis orrand was 4o make thi e xrlerli t ongreater game, oon uin of thie Chllaln Irtin-

a b.Cotton Factories In the Fields.

[Atlanta Constltutlon.lThe cormmunirttton which we recently pub-

llshod from Mr. D. U. Sloan, of Norcross, inregard to the cotton factory at Westmuinister,SH.O., has attracted considerable attention notonly at the South, but all through the North,and many persons have vialted the mill,whose testimony Intduces us to believe that thepeople of the South now have the opportu-nity to take a long step forward in the diroc-tion of that prosperity, which must springfrom diversilled Industry. Among those whohave recently visited the South Carolinafactory is Capt. C. F. Akers, of LJaGrange,and in an article printed in the lieporterof that place ho confirms every statemeuntof the correspondent of the Omntliltuion.The machinery of the mill is simple andlcheap, and by setting it up In the neighbor-hoodsd throughout the cotton belt the value ofthe staple can tie increee.d nearly 1(1) percent, particularly when we take Into consill-eration the amount of money saved on bag-ging, ties, packing, weighnlug, storing andshipping. The factory now in operation atWestminister, of which we shall speak moreat length in another article, spins the cottondirect from the seed by means of a machineknown Ih the Clement attachment, and isrun by seven women and a boy. Its capacityis between four and live hundred pounds ofseed cotton per day, and the yarns manufnc-tured sell in .Now York at an average of 16',;cents. The cotton is taken from the gin andbrush on a card and comes out In a roll, andNew York dealers say threads made by thisprocess class a great deal higher than threadsmade from compress d cotton. Not a par-ticle of lint is left on the seed, as in the ordi-nary gins. We are inclined to believe thatthis method of preparing the staple for mar-ket solves the problem for the South. Itenables the planters of each neighborhood tcadd the industry of manufacturing to, thebusiness of cotton raising, and at P. pre"tthat will more than justify the small invest-ment to be made, and within the course ofthe nevt year or two, if we do not mistakethe purpose and enterprlFir of our people,there will be at least onV. hundred of thesefactories In operation Ir. Georgia. Whereverthere is a grist mill, p.aning mill or saw mill,a yarn factory can be added without an in-crease of power, and at a very little increaseof cost.

It is not t cnerally known that SecretarySchurz canme very near being caught withThornburgh in the Milk river corral. Hewanted to go to the Ute reservation andagency to quiet the quarrelsome braves, andmade partial arrangements to go, but turnedaside into Indian Territory in order to keep aprior promise.

A well-dressed little child, lost by somenegligent nursemaid, was the centre of a sym-pathetic crowd of gentlemen. Questionspoured in upon the child from all sides, butwith no effect. At last a gentlemen asked:"Where were you going to, my little dear ?""N use," blubbered the infant, "sod I'se to goto heben."

Mr. John Kelly is going to take the stumpagainst Robinson and make speeches all overNew York State. He will be accompanied byCongressman Cox and some other campaignorators, who will do all they can to secure theelection of Senator Conkling's man.

Douglas, who arrived in Baltimore fromSouth Carolina tie other day, reports thatRedmond, the notorious moonshiner, is nowfirmly intrenched in the mountains of Swaincounty, with a band of twenty-five or thirtydesperate followers.

The Japanese government has in its serviceeighty Englishmen, thirty-one Americans,thirty Frenchmen, eighteen Germans, sevenDutchmen, four Italians, three Swiss, threeChinese, two Austrians, two Portuguese andone Russian, making 181 foreigners.

The London Economisl has been compilinga statement of the amount of gold and slivernow lying In various banks in Europe and thetreasury at Washington. The grand total Iamounts to $1,400,000,000, probably the Elargest aggregate over before collected in thisvisible shape, and the amount goes on in-creasing without check. The quantity ofgold and silver in circulation all over theworld is a matter of the merest guesswork;but even taking the highest of those guesses tin recent discussions of the subject in France,this enormous mass which lies now locked up t!.L a few bank vaults constitutes one-tenth ofthe circulating medium of the-world.

A remarkably large proportion of membersof the Prussian Parliament are reported to beunwilling to accept re-election to their seats.I'he National Liberals particularly seem tofind something disagreeable in the parliamen-tary atmosphere, and fully one-fourth of themare said to have announced their intention towithdraw. A similar tendency is shown alsoby independent members of the Conservativeparty.
