Rumple. The finaas Connscticnt Bin Laws: Is one of the most fatal scourges which afflict mankind. It is often inherited, bat may be the result of improper vacci- nation, mercurial poison, nncleanliness, and various other causes. Chronic Sores, Ulcers, Abscesses, Cancerous. Humors, and, in some cases, Emaciation and Consumption, result from a scrofulous condi- tion of the blood.

This disease can be cured by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I inherited a scrofulous condition of the blood, which caused a derangement of my whole system. After taking less than four bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla I am Entirely Cured and, for the past year, have not found it necessary to use any medicine whatever. I am now in better health, and stronger, than eyer O. A.

Willard, 213- Tremont Boston, Mass. I was troubled with Scrofulous Sores for five years; but, after using a few bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, the sores healed, and I have now good health. Elizabeth Warnock, Hi Appleton street, Lowell. Mass. -1 Some months ago I was troubled with Scrofulous Sores on my leg.

The limb was badly swollen and inflamed, and the sores discharged large quantities of offen--sive matter. Every remedy failed until I used Ayer's Sarsaparilla. By taking three bottles of this medicine the sores have been healed, and my health is restored. I am grateful for the good it has done me. Mrs.

It has a beautiful spire upon it, in which a bell is to be hung. The whole reflects credit upon the taste of the architect, and the buil ding committees It is furnished with a Cabinet organ and a neat communion service.

From the day of its dedication, morning and even ing services, with afternoon Sab bath school and- Wednesday night Praver or Praise meetinsrs have been held. I The two hundred or more of summer boarders gathered there, with a number of the citizens, furnish good and attentive congregations, Indeed this appears to be a very promising field oi labor. Few of the churches of Watauga county have preaching oftener than once a month. the mass of the people are Baptists, with some Methodists Lutherans, Episcopalians and German Reform ed, and here and there an isolated Presbyterian. One good old Baptist lady told roe that some of the people did not like for the Presbyterians to come there, but for her part she believed "that there was good and bad in all She had heard our preaching and liked it very well.

After talking with her about our blessed Savior's death for us, and the need of repentance, faith, and holy living, in order to salvation, her heart melted, and she said, "yes, that was just what she believed." They who are taught by the Spirit of God learn the same lesson all over the world. This chapel having been built and paid for, we must signalize the new era, by new, persistent and self denying efforts to hold fast what we have gained, and add thereto yearly. But I must not olose this letter without mentioning various POINTS OF INTEREST around Blowing Rock; Visitors re always making excursions to points near'or remote. Even the feeblest "boarder" will go, of an evening to "Fairview," or "Grandview" and look upon the vast prospect down in and beyond The Globe. Quite a number seem to think that the sun cannot sink properly over the peaks of the help him by gazing from "Sunset Rock." Still others walk three miles to get a look into the Watauga Valley, from "Raven's Rock." Others repair of an evening to "Boyden's Hill," a mile distant to get a grand prospect to the four points of the comp8s.

And juat beyond "Boy-den's Hill" the Rowan man will find a neighborhood of Rowan people settled "all aile, as they say Klnttzes, Holtshousers, Trexlers, Lentzes, with Rev. Mr. Ingle among them. I asked one of them why a Rowan man wanted to live where he-could raise no wheat, no sweet potatoes, little corn, and few. oats.

0, he said, we can raise rye, and 1 Irish potatoes, cabbage1 and grass in abundance. But the chief object was health; he had not needed a doctor in his family for five years, and 'did not have a chance to attend a funeral for two years after he moved to Watauga. But if "Boyden's Hill" is not high enough, the visitor goes to Greene's Hill, and looks over the interminable vista of the Wilkes conn ty mountains. If not satisfied yet he climbs the heights of Flat and gets a still broader view. And If not satisfied yet, he goes 12 miles off, and spends a night on the top of the "Grandfather," 5877 feet above sea level.

Thongh I should have been glad to have made the acquaintance of Mrs. Calloway, and her hospice on the side of the mountain, I confess that my courage led me 'no higher than the modest "Flat But not "only are their mountains Jiere, but heautiful water TfallsJ springs, -glen, and odd nooks2nd corners everywhere. Visitors go to Valle Crucis Falls, twelve miles distant, and the Watauga 'Falls, eight miles distant. I contented myself with the nearer and more accessible GlenBurnie Falls, a half mile distant. Here the little head-stream, of John's River elides over a rock, 45, feet high, and shaped dike '1 the quarter 'segment of a "circle.

The stream drvides into a half dozen runlets, and slides, and gleams in the sunlight. "I slip, I slide I gleam, I glide, To. join the nyer," says Tennyson in his brook," And so says this sliding cataract, as the waters tilash by day. and by night, the' whole year round.

After writing the above title the thought occured to the writer that it would be impossible to make the substance of this letter correspond to the freshness ani breeziness of the title. But when we remember that the winds and the waters that staft from that elevated region lose some twenty degrees of their' coolness before they reach this region we need not be surprised if thoughts also should lose some of their crisp-ness in their progress down the country.

So we must risk the contrast." "BLOWING ROCK" is the name of a bona fide Rock, and also of a general region, a health resort, and a Post Office. The "Rock" is shelving cliff, on the summit of the; Blue Ridge, four thousand and ninety feet kbove sea level, overlooking the uppr basin of the John's River Valley. This basin ties' hundreds of feet 1 am afraid to guess how many below the mountain ridge, and for some reason or others is called "The Globe," perhaps be-T caujse it resembles the concave side! of i hollow-globe. The winds that! swep over the Grandfather mount- am, some twelve, mues west, -aip down into this concave of the Globe, and as they the rocky ledge, are turned upward, and burst over it in a cooling breeze. Visitors throw papers, handkerchiefs, and sometimes summer hats, over the ledge, and the breeze, especially in the late evening, whirls them" back over their heads.

It would hewev-er, be well to test its strength before tossing a valuable hat over the precipice I From Blowing Rock the ledge runs about two miles westward on the north side of the Globe and the turnpike runs near the brink, furnishing a vast prospect to the south, east, and mountain peakB in great numbers, such as the Table Rock, Hawk's Bill, Grandfather, and in the dim distance, the lofty Black Mountain range. At the end: of this ledge of twb miles the traveler turns off to the north, and descending a-bo'ut one hundred and forty feet in half a mile, reaches Blowing Rock Post office, where the Watauga Hotel, Morm's, Estes, and Stewart's Boardiag Houses are, i he is still on the Blue Ridge, and is very much mystified to find that the waters on the east run into New River, Great Kanawha, and the Mississippi, while those on the west side, run into John's River, the Catawba and the Atlantic Ocean. The mystery is explained by this fact, that the BLUE RIDGE. instead of being a straight, continu ous ridge, as it appears at the distance of fifty miles, is a "Sierra," as the Spanish call such a range, that is, a gigantic saw, with its teeth very large and set very wide anart, lf this huee saw were.turn- downward; and palled back ffcT forth for few times, it -would a 1 A.

It WSJ not A. TiMAndier in La Nature. After seeing the streets, the most interesting visits to make in the city are to the stock yards or cattle markets and the abattoirs annexed to them.

A few figures will give a real idea of this immense market. In the different pens of which it is composed, there is room for 20,000 beeves, 100,000 hogs, and 22,000 sheep. There are special compart ments, besides, c-ipable of holding 500 horses. To form the sides "of these wooden pens, it took" 29,520 feet of joists and boards, The total area occupied is one square mile. Each pen is separated by avenues designed for the traffic of the public and the owners of the cattle.

Nu merous inclined planes are raised on all sidesin order to allow of the easy descent of the animals from the cars to the pens, or to give them access to the abattoirs where they are to be killed. The animals are brought by rail from Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and other States. The spectacle offered by this host of nearly 150,000 animals, bellowing and lowing in all keys, and the mov ing about of the people, who seem lost in the numerous detours formed by the sides of the pens, is one that can be found only in a city of the united States. It cost I $3,000,000 to erect the 8 took yards buildings, and new ad ditions are being made to them every day. It takes 300 watchmen to look after this truly prodigious establish ment.

Of the abattoirs, the most extensive is that of Armour Co. The size of. this establishment cau scarcely be realized at first. Built entirely of wood, and doubtless gradually, no one has ever thought of making a general plan of it. All has been constructed in haste, and according to the needs of the mo ment.

It is a true labyrinth of sheds and enormous halls that communicate in various, ways by passages, staircases, elevators and suspension bridges, over which pass the workmen and over which runs the railway. Without a guide, one could never find his way in these immense structures. Mr. Cudahy, the superintendent, was good enough to give me the necessary permission, and havo me accompanied by a young employe into every recess of his wonderfuLestablishinent. It would have been impossible to be more agreeable and obliging to a stranger than he was.

t)n entering the abattoirs, one goes first to visit the hall where the nogs are slaughtered. The animals, one by one, enter the compartments shown in Fig. 1, through passageways made of planks. One man seizes them by the hind legs, and fastens to one of the latter a hook attached to a chain, and another man standing in the gallery above draws the chain and hog toward him. The animal is thus suspended by one leg, and utters frightful cries.

His companions answer with genuine howls, but the business proceeds none the less rapidly. The chain from which the victim is suspended rolls along a horizontal rail through the iutermediura of a pulley. The hog thus slides into the bauds of a butcher, who, almost naked, and covered with blood, plunges a large knife into his throat. The blood flows in a long stream, and the animal no longer cries, but one sees the last convulsions of his agony. The butcher, with a slight motion, then slides the slaughtered nog along the rail and seizes another and so on.

He can kill about seven a minute, or five hundred an hour. One cannot gaze upon this scene of butchery without a certain of horror. The cries of the animals and the 'streams of blood make one experience a sensation of disgust and an undefinable uncomfortable-hess. Yet, when I returned the next day to sketch at leisure, I was 1 surprised to find: that this feeling had already diminished, he butcher came to talk with me during a resting Bpell, and I was astonished to see tnis man, sun covered wiin the blood of his victims, and with scarcely any clothing on, had a genteel, and mild face. He 'reservedly asked me a few questions, and when he found my sketches were for a French scientific journal, he spoke to me absolutely as would have done a well-informed and intelligent gentleman.

His assistants appeared to be like him they surrounded vine, and asked for some details concern-, ing the abattoirs of Paris, and then concerning our great city These American workmen are decidedly not like ours. their education is superior, and they made me forget that I was in blood' and in the midst of unfortunate victims. The hogs, with- cut throats, and suspended aa I have just described, afterward under a wooden compartment and enter a trough of boiling water (Fig. 2.) Here, men provided with -long pikes submit them to a preliminary i washing. 1 A sort of curved grating of the width, of the I trough next receives each animal, and, making a 'half-revolution, deposits it upon a marble slab.

Tne nog is now again nooked to a chain, 'which carries him to the ma- chine for scraping bis skin (Fig. 3. -Here, wheels placed in every direc- jtlon Bcrape and scratch the animal's hide until all the bristles are remov ed. After this operation, the abso After undergoing these different operations, the hog is hung again by one foot and run along a rail to a hall where his head is cut off, and the entrails, tripe, etc, are removed. These parts of the animal's body are carried to rooms set apart for pork-butcher's meat.

Next, the hog is washed for a third time, and is finally carried into an enormous, hall, whero he is suspended from the ceiling. In this vast depot there is room for 10,000 animals. The hogs are finally placed in refrigerators, where they remain for two or three day 8 without corrupting, being under the action of a constant tem perature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. The hogs are next taken from the refrigerators in order to be cut up by the butchers. The work dome by these men is interesting, and in the hall in which they operate wonderful activity reigns.

These men cut the animal up into parts with unequal-ed skill and celerity. Other work men carry the cut meat to the different parts of the establishment where it is to be prepared for sale the hams to immense smokehouses, other meat 8 to the cellars where thev are to be salted, and others to a place where they are to be cooked and packed in tin cans. My guide afterward took me into all the different shops of the estab lishment. 1 thus saw the pork-butcher's hall, wherein' steam ma chines were hashing meat for the manufacture of 'sausages. The daily production of this sausage meat is 52,000 pounds.

Farther along are manufactured the packages into which lard is put. Here thirty young people were sewing bags, and their duty was so pressing that they scarcely had time to see me pass. They make 8,000 packages per day. Then came the shops where the casks are made for packing salt meats. Then there are the kitchens, which are admirable for their cleanness.

Here the pots are full of beef, mutton and pork, which is afterward canned. Small, revolving, ingenious and delicate machines close the cans and do thehermetical soldering that permits of the preservation of the meat indefinitely after the expulsion of the air. In the rooms, toowhere the cans are Sainted and varnished, the women ave to work with activity, and they finish from 35,000 to 40,000 per day. The beeves do not have their throats cut as do the hogs and Sheep. From the provisional pen in which they are placed they are made to walk one by one through a narrow plank passageway.

A trap opens, and the animal, goaded by a man standing on a stage outside, enters a compartment in which there is room for but himself. A skillfifl marksman, standing upon a stage, aims at the forehead, between the eyes, and with the muzzle pretty close. The animal drops down dead; a second trap is opened, and the victim is dragged to the butchery. From 800 to 900 beeves are killed thus during the day. As for sheep, only about two hundred per day are slaughtered, and these undergo the same treatment as the hogs.

Annexed to the establishment there are large structures wherein the skins of these animals are dressed. In these remarkable- abattoirs men are employed in summer, and 4,500 in winter and more than a hundred horses are constantly at work in the various departments. Armour establishment occupies an area of twenty-four acres. In addition to the large shipments of preserved meats that are daily made to the States of the Union, meat is sold at retail in a store on the ground floor, organized for the convenience of the inhabitants of the city, who come hither to make their purchases. The establishment sells more than 600,000 hams per year, in ad- idition to the canned meats.

From the information that I received, it would appear that the Chicago abattoirs, collectively, export more than 2,500,000 per annum. Tka firetsss of Witmgi. To the Editor of The Lenoir Topic: On a recent visit to my uncle, Adam Greene, who lives at the mouth of Beaverdam creek in Wa-; tauga county, I made some inquiries as to family history, -and from him and his wife I gathered a largo amount of information, interesting to me, and perhaps some facts may be of interest to a large number, of the readers of The Topic I think there are more people of the name Greene who read The Topic than of any other name. All the Greenes of Watauga, and many in Caldwell, Wilkes, and counties west of are descended from three brothers who, about 1785 came to what is now vv atauga, then Wilkes, from what was then Rowan, now Davidson. a These brothers were Richard, Jeremy! and John; them came their two Joanna and Sarah.

Richard Gree'ne raised eight children, and five of his children raised twelve apiece and a third eleven. His sons Jeremy and Richard moved to Tennessee! His son John, nick-named "Moccasin John Greene," was a man of remarkable physical strength, and some wonderful stories are related of him.
