The Rope Hdh dfthe L. s. Nary Yard
in Charleston, is said to be the most per-
feet establishment of the kind in the world.
1t is 1900 feet long, with granite walls,
slate roof, ard iron window shutters. The
work is done by an enormous steam en-
CINE, BY which the hatchel,ing, dressing,
spinning, and almost every other operation
in making rope or cable, is done. About
one hundred Of the spinning, hatchelingand
dressing machines, are in one room, in opc-
ration by steam. BY the spinning of hemp
in machine, a more even ;hrcad and con
sequently more perfect rigging and cables
are formed. Al this Rope Walk, we I'M

James Clark and Dir. Locock, the princl-

Peace plenty and Joy,
And every year girl boy.
