Craohlo Description at How the Work le Carried on tn Chicaao. A Chicago special says: At the Union Stock Yards in this city the business of killiog aud preparing meat for market has certainly been reduced to a science, and at no other place 1a slaughtering carried on with snch rapidity and skill. Theordinary methods of ilaughtering cattle and hog, by farmers and small butchers is familiar to every one who knows anything of country or village life. In New England in the olden time when the farmer had a “beef critter” or a few bogi to kill, it wu consid ered ttre best part of a day’s work, even with the neighbors to help. Here it te very different. From the commencement of the day's business until its close an endlers stream of hogs te kept pomfng np an inclined plane to the door of the pack- lug-house where they are wanted. As they enter, men itand lu their midst with ebaioe having spring clasps at their ends. Tlu.ee are sprang upon one of tbe animal's hind legs in a jiffy and belorethe hog knows it a small stationery engine has lifted him in the air and ha ta squealing vigorously. Tbe upper end of the chain ia attached to a pally which runs overhead on an iron railway, and carries the animal along towards the scalding rat. On tbe way he puses tbe sticker, who, with one lunge of a long, sharp knife, ends bis life. Almost Instant ly he 1a droppod from the chein directly Into the •caldfog vat, whirled over a few times, and then lifted by bidden meeh'n- eoy at tbe bottom of the vat op to a mov ing belt, which carries him toward the scraping machine The principle and mechanism ot this machine are almost Identical with that of a corn aheller. Re volving wheels with flexible scrapers are so placed and buoobed as to hit the surface of tbe bog on all sides at the eatne time Ibe animal enters snout first and emeriti as cleanly soraped of bristles u be could be if the work were done slowly by band. He te then attached to another pulley and passed along to a skilled workman, who with three ttokea of the knife, dliem- bowels the animal. A stream of water plays upon him for a few seconds and then an elevated railway carries him oil toward the cooling room. The time of thcwhole process te considsrabiy less than four minutes on an average each day and week and month. The two men who are most skilled and who receive tbe highest wages for their Important bnt disagreeable work are the sticker end else in bowel er. Very rarely do either of these workmen miss i heir aim or stroke. But It requires a cool head aud a steady hand to do the work quickly and well at the same time. A steady procession of twinging hogs, dead cr dying, te kept pus- ing throagh Ibe room from morn till night and no blockada ol freight is allowable. Not a moment te lost, not a particle of atrength wasted. There te no hoary lift- ing of dead circuses from tbe beginning to tha end of tbe process. Machinery takes the place of human labor wherever UUpostibie, and the work of nimble fin gers and eharp knives rapidly complete the job. It te a process which inflicts the leut amount of pain aud suffering upon tbe animal to be ilaughtered. and one which never fallt to Impress the beholder with so enduring sense of utonlshmenL CLEANINO COSTLY FABRICS.

Croat Works Ereote.1 In Indiana by a Vanished Race. Indtscepolia News. The more one Undies the works of Ibe andeat mound builders the more he ie lost in wonder the a race of people eo numer ous and powerful, and appronchlng to near to oivUlsstlou, could to completely havo pused from the esrth that even the period of their existence is the merest conjecture. It te vs if they had existence before the flood,and that the mighty etorm lmd swept them suddenlv from tbe face of the esrth in the midst of their power and glory. It If eo, from whence came that other race in number! and power great enough to wotk this mighty devastation? A visit lo these mnnnds and wailedenclosaresgtvea one new fdeu of the age of this world of ours and a deeper comprehension of what la embraced in the word “Eternity." Near tho town of Wlncheater te found the remslna of a unique and beautifnl work. This te In fact the largest walled luiny scree, id snspe it is a tiorsllelo- grani with curved angle.-. The sides have a length of 1,380 and tne ends ot 1,200 feet. There is an entrance at each end. That •t the western end 1s defended by a half-circle embankment which overlaps the gateway. The wails In some places are still nine feet high. The ditch, so prom inent In all tbe other works, is absent here. In all tbe other works the esrth taken from the ditch made the embank ment, bnt here the vut amount ot mate, rial had to be carried from some other place, thus greatly enlarging tbe labor of construction. And when we remember that the race had no beasts of burden or of traction, we esn appreciate tho labor of carrying earth to erect an embankment nearly a mile in length and from ten to twelve feet high and thirty feet broad at the bate. This earth had to be curled in buketa on the heads or ehontdera ot hu man beings. On the north and east the works ere protected by the blnfle ol White river and Bugsr creek. In tha centre 1s a mound 100 feet In di ameter and ten feet high. This indosnre lire In one of the oldest settled parts of the State, and np to a comparatively ricect period it wu Civered with heavy timber. The eonn'-y fair ground now takes in a greater portion or It, the mound being the favorite reeort ol those who desire to wit ness tbe speeding of horses. This work shows a high order of military skill in Its projectors, and itls lo be regretted that it Is so rapidly being obliterated after having survived eo many centuries. But few rel ict have been found, and they of little Im portance in solving tha hlstorr of this u-yeterious race. In|sll the fortifications examined the strongest points are the north, tbns showing that the enemy looked for wu expected to come from that direction. This and tbe works near An derson are the farthest north of any in the State. Tbe upper portion of the State Is dotted here and there by burial mounds, bnt no fortifications exist. I believe the one at Winch* ater in the most extensive of any in the United States. That these extensive works were atone time defended by a large garrison can hardly be doubted, yet little or no evidence ot such - fact has been found. Around other jorta tho remains of kitchen refuse and bones of animals have been found, but little of such material has ever been dis covered here. 8ome few specimens of pot* tery and urow heads hava boen turned up by tbe plow, and one ortwofinespedmens .1 plpev. Onr present American Indiana are lovers of the pine, and in this they bnt followed the letd of tha Mound Builders, for everywhere in their works have been found pipes, some of them plain, somo rudely carved and some very highly orna mented. This Is the beat work in this State on the line before mentioned, bnt there ue severel other works, the most important of which Is the one known as Fort Axatlen. This fortification has oftener been deecritcd than any of those In the State, yet it te worthy of an other notice. It le situated on a plateau on the east bank ot Wabash river, In SnUl- van county. The plateau Is 170 feet above the level of the river. The river beak 1s of sandstone and very steep. l>n the eest, and alto along the southwestern part ot tha plateau, are deep and precipltonv ravines. This plateau la a natural fortifi cation. Its extreme length is abont 1,200 feet. At tbs northern end It te only abont fifty feet wide, but it etretebee out to tbe width of about 400 feet, when ft gradually narrows again anti), at tbe lontLern end, ft to only about 123 feet wide. The weak places id this naturally strong position have been etrengthened by uttfictal walla. On tha eastern side, end about three hun dred and fifty feet from the southern end tba ravine makes an inden ture of nearly one hundred feet. At this point tea magnificent lining, aud the line (• protected bye double wall. Several othe r springe exist In this ravine, and tha (Uritoo would have been abundantly eup- plied with water. The entrance 1a at tho senthem end, end te ten feet wide, snd the walls are here about thirty feet wide. The entrance fi protected by flanking walla wblcn enteeded Inward about eeventy-five feat. Tbe interior ot the enclosure 1a l.-'.- Md bv depressions or sinls. These de pression! are circular In shape and vary In wldlb from ten to twenfy-five feet. Large trees are now growing in some of these pits. Several have been examined, and at the bottom aahes and bnrnt clay have been found. Tbe supposition Is that tfaeao pits were tha borne* of the garrison, end were constructed in this manner to pro tect them from the enemy. A Urge number of burial mounds btve been found in the neighborhood. It te ev ident that this wee, for a long period ot time, tbe aeatot power. I am led to this conclusion from tbe large number of bnr- tel monnda. These moonda were not raised over the ordinary dead. Except la one or two cases the monads contain but two or three skeletons.
