Destruction of a United States Steam.
er by Torpedo.

The sloop-ofwar, Housatonic, one of
The new vessels, was recently destroyed
while on the blockade off the Southern
coast The circumstances of the disaster
arc these:
"About s 40 p. NJ, of the 18th ult.,
the officer Of the deck, Acting Master J..
M. Crosby, discovered something in the
water, about 100 yards from the vessel,
moving towards the ship. 1t had the ap-
pearance of plank moving on the water
and came directly towards the ship. The
time when it was first seen till it was
alongside was about two minutes. The
torpedo struck the Housatoaic forward of
her mizzen- mast, on the starboard side,
in line with the magazine. The after
pivot gun being pivoted to port, they were
unable to bring the gun to bear upon the
torpedo. About one minute after she
was close alongside the explosion took
place; the Housdtonic'S stern first kneel-
ing to port as she sunk. Most of the
crew clung to the rigging, and boat was
dispatched 10 the Cdnndnddyuta, which
vessel gallantly came to their assistance
and all were rescued but tho following
named officers and men: Ensign e. G.
Hazeltine, Captains Clerk, G. o. Muzzy,
Qnartermaster John Williams, landslnan
Theodore Parker, second class fireman
Jno. Walsh, who are missing and suppos-
ed to be drowned"
The rapidity with which this torpedo
approached the vessel would seem to in
dcate that it was propelled by some ma
chiuery. Vessels lying at anchor, on
blockade duty, should be protected by
RATS or booms projecting from the side,
having lines rove through the ends all
around the ship. In this way those in.
cendiary machines would be prevented
from doing much mischief. The arrange
ment could be made very simple and yet
effective.

about it, if you'll give me--a quart o
beer day as long as I'm in the mills
you'll save that ten."
Mr.. Peel rather thought he should, and
quickly agreed to the terms.
"You shall have it, Dick, and half a
gallon every Sunday into the bargain"
"Well, then" said Dick, first looking
cautiously around to see that no one was
near" this it be-" and putting his lips
close to Mr.. Peers ear, he whispered /:
"Chalk your bobbins!'
That indeed was the great secret.-
Dick had been in the habit of furtively
chalking his bobbins, which simple con-
trivance had edectually prevented the ad.
herence of the cotton. As the bobbius
were white the chalking had escaped de-
lection.
Mr.. Peel was a sagacious man, and
saw through the affair at a glance. He
at once patented the invention, had
"chalking" machines contrived, and soon
took the lead in the cotton spinning de-
partment. This was the foundation of
his princely fortune. 1t is but right to
add that he had pensioned Dick of hand
somely.
The Grand Haven news. [volume] (Grand Haven, Mich.) 1858-18??, 1864-03-16
THE POOR MANS SECRET.

Every ones knows that old Sir Robert
Peel, father of the late Prime Minister of
England, aud grandfather of the Baronet,
made his money by cotton spinning. In
the early part of his career his business
was not remarkably extensive, but sud-
denly he made tremendous start, and
soon distanced all his rivals. He grew
immensely rich as we all know, but we
do not all know the happy accident to
which he was indebted for his enormous
wealth.
In the early days of the cotton spin
ming machinery, great deal of trouble
used TO be caused by fiaments of cotton
adhering to the bobbins, or tapes which
then formed portions of looms. These
filaments accumulating clogged the
wheels and other parts of machinery, and
rendered it necessary that they should be
cleaned, which involved frequent stop
page and much loss of time.
The great desideralum was to find out
some plan of preventing this clogging by
the cotton, and Sir Robert, or Mr.. Peel as
he was then, spent vast sums in expert
ments. He employed some of the ablest
machinists in the country-among them
James Watt who suggested various cor
rections, but in spite of all they could do
the Inconvenience remained-the cotton
would adhere to the bobbins and the evil
appeared insurmountable.
Of course these delays seriously affect
ed the wages of the operatives, who, on
Saturday, generally came short in proper
tion to the stopages during the previous
days. 1t was noticed, however, that one
man always drew his full pay, his work
was always accomplished--in fact his
loom never had to stop, while every other
in the factory was idle Mr.. Peel was
informed OF this, and knew there must be
secret somewhere. 1t was important
that it should be discovered if possible.
The man was watched, but all to no
purpose; his fellow workmen tried to
"pump" him, but they couldn't; at last
Mr.. Peel sent for the man into his pr-
vate office.
He was rough Lancashire NAHUM
able 10 read or write--little better indeed
than mere animal. He entered the
"presence" pulling bis forelock and shuf-
fling on the ground with his great clum-
sy wooden shoes.
"Dick," said Mr.. Peel, "Ferguson, the
ovor-looker, tells me that your bobbius
are always clean--is that so?"
"Ee's, Master it be-"
"Well, Dick, how do you manage it
have YOU any objections to let mc know 2"
"Why, master Pill, it be sort Sc
cret loike, you see, and if oi told it, 9th
ers'd knows moch as oi," replied Dick,
with cunning grin.
"Of course, Dick, I'd give you some
thing if you'll tell me-and if you can
make all of the looms in the factory work
as smoothly as yours"
"Ev'ry ones them master Pill"
"Well, what shall give youi Name
your price, Dick, and let me have your
secret"
Dick grinned, scratched aud shook his
great head, ard shnffled for few minutes,
while Mr.. Peel anxiously awaited his re.
ply. The cotton lord thought his servant
would probably ask hundred pounds or
so, which he wonld have most willingly
given him. Presently Dick said:
"Well, master Pill, I'll tell 'ee all

MECHANICS ExcLUDED.-At one time
the rich merchants and professional men
of Philadelphia proposed to form them
selves into social circle, from which all
mechanics were TO be excluded. Tho pa
pers were drawn up for this purpose and
presented to DR.. Franklin for his signature.
On examining its contents he remarked
that he could not consent 10 write his
name, inasmuch as by excluding mechan-
les from the circle, they had excluded the
Almighty, who was the greatest mechau-
ic of the universe.

SUIcIDE.-We learn that Milo Rich
ardson, of Coloma, in this county, who
had been sick since the 4th Of July last
and for some timo past unable TO turn
himself in bed, on the night of the 25th
ult., got out of his bed unknown to the
watchers, went into an adjoining room,
took a knife from his sons pocket, went
out and ground the knife on grindstonc,
cut his throat in several places, then went
back from the house and threw himself
into a shallow brook, where he was soon
found, lying on his face in the water, dead.
We have not heard tho result of the in.
