I have a dear old friend—a genuine “lady of the old school,” who has a hobby, It is the precocity of the present age. “Pray, madanie, how old were you when you were marred?” 1 asked her one day. She hesitated, and the blood rose a little in her delicate old face. “Just sixteen,” she responded. After a while it all leaked out. Most of the girls of her day were married at six teen and seventeen, often at fifteen. All of her sisters were married before they were twenty. Then, after a little diplom acy, she gave some particulars of the way they did fifty years ago. Hygiene was not invented then; even the name was not known. The wonder is how any of the children survived to he women, and how any of the women survived at all. Nobody but men wore flannel; my old friend told me that the young ladies couldn’t, posi tively couldn’t. “Why not?” “Because they wore low-necked frocks all the year round. In winter they wore capeB to cover their bare shoulders. Of course, they were not strictly decollete, *■“* .l. *■ - - tdie chest i exposed they are now, but elaborately tucked. Our j trocks were generally made out. and were the simplest part of our wardrobes, instead I ol the artistically moulded creations they are now. They were nothing usually but six or seven or eight breadths of material stitched up and hemmed, and a waist with no particular fit. There was no such thing as fitting a sleeve in, and the modiste or muntuu-maKer, ns we called her, used the same sleeve patterns for all of her customers. If it was too long a plait was taken at the inner seam of the sleeve to shorten it. Our best dresses were made with open flowing sleeves, and with these undersleeves were worn. If a girl had a pretty arm, though, she generally left off undersleeves altogether.” “Gay doings thore wore in those good old days,” I said. “Now tell me frankly, would you let your granddaughter go low necked and short-sleeved all the winter, wear low. thin shoes, linen underwear and no flannel, sleep on a feather bed In an unventilated bedroom, be ashamed to eat a hearty meal or to walk briskly. Bpend her time bending over fancy needlework, and get married at sixteen as they did in the good old times?” “N—o—o,” reluctantly answered this truthful, dear old soul. Sydney. All In Onv Huy. at.

Special Correspondence Enquirer-Sun. Huron, D. T., August 31.—I left Colum bus August 12 to join a party in Rockford, 111., who had arrangedfor a prairie chicken hunt in the territory of Dakota. Our party, composed of one member each from the church, the army aud the bur, arrived in the territory at a point near this place on the 17th inst., armed and equipped for the onslaught on a species of game entirely new to your correspondent, und, inasmuoh as I enjoyed the letters of M., T. and J., while they were laway on their summer vaca tions, I will assume that there are some who would like to hear something from what may be, to them, as it wus to me, a terra incognito.

Bare-armed and bare necked, too, except in the coldest weather, when they had a thin merino sacque put on them.” “Poor babies,” said I. “The general idea seemed to be to expose the neck and arms as much as possible, under the most ad verse circumstances. Wasn’t there a good deal of rheumatism in the good old time?” “I am afraid I must say yes,” replied my old friend, doubtfully. “All middle-aged people, it seems to me, had the rheuma tism then. And they don’t seem to me now,” continued the dear old lady, “to have made any change in their clothing according to variations in the weather. No dress waists for summer were lined. The line between summer and winter clothes was rigidly drawn. In May, ladles put away all their thick dresses, and wore nothing but the thinnest muslins and cam brics until autumn. Of course, we had cold snaps, but we managed to shiver through them in our airy garments. If I had gone and put on a thick frock, as niy daughter does when the thermometer gets down to 60, I would have been thought crazy. Besides, they were all packed away. ladies’ outdoor attire. “The one thing which they wore with out regard to its seasonableness was a bon net.

The territorial law , here does not allow them to be shot be fore the loth of August, hence our desire ' to be on the ground as soon after the loth, as possible. In appearance they much re- ' semble our common quail, except that the j mottling is lighter in color, and the necks arc longer in proportion to the size of the body; iu fact, while flying across you, they much resemble a mallard duck iu the air. the head goes so far to the front; blit flying straight to the front they fly and re semble,a quail on a larger scale. One peculi arity we noticed the very first day was that the old cocks would go off to themselves, sometimes being found alone, and some times in company with one or two other disconsolate heads of families. We could not account for this unless it was that these selfish old fellows had gone off to take a summer vacation' and could not af ford to take the old hen and the chicks. We found the birds in covies of from five up to thirty. We found very few with as many as the latter number, and most of them had about TEN TO TWELVE. Although we were in latitude about 45”, aud with Canada as our next door neigh bor, still it was so hot for the first few days after our arrival that we could not hunt, and neither could our dogs, in the middle of the day. But early in the morning, late in the afternoon and at night it was delightful, and so at first we confined our hunting to a few hours early and late each day; but as the twilight lasts so much longer than with us we got some of our best shooting after sun-down; to illustrate. I killed a prairie chicken fly ing, single bird, at 8:90 o’clock p. m. on the night of August 19. We left the train nine miles from this place, at Cavoor, and were met by Mr. Gee. Kelsey, a genial, estimable gentleman, who owns the best Dakota farm we saw and the most com fortable house. He took us and our traps In a two-horse wagon and started for home, six miles out in the prairie. On the way out we put out our dogs and soon found a covey or birds, and your corres pondent killed his first shot, it being also the first live prairie chicken he had evpr seen. OUR OUTFIT for each day’s hunt was as follows: One two-horse wagon, with bottom covered with straw, and fitted with spring seats, jug of cold tea for the hunters and a jug of water and pan for the dogs, for it is absolutely impossible to hunt in this almost waterless region without hav ing water ou hand for the dogs, and even then they seem to suffer a great deal, so much so that one fresh dog is kept in the wagon, while the other is being hunted. Equally impossible is it for one not accus tomed to the water to drink the solution of alkali which they have here aud call water; and unless a hunter provides him self with beer or cold tea. he too will suffer, and even then there is an imperceptible alkali dust which settles on the lips and keeps them parched and dry all the time. WE HUNTED THE PRAIRIE around our first stopping place for about a week and killed enough game to keep a family of a dozen or more in fresh game; besides having some to send to our host’s neighbors. Then we moved to a point south, in another county, to a friend of our armv friend. Before reaching this place the weather turned cool, so we could hunt all day. and here we found birds in plenty and had much fine shooting, and when you remember that one bird will nl- most riiake a meal for two, you can readily understand that we killed more than we could destroy. But in conclusion will simply say that our party killed one hundred chickens al together. The army and the church tied; and for the honor'of the Columbus Gun Club, I will add that their representative killed twenty more than either of them.

WONDERFUL ULCERS. Atlanta, Ga., June 5,1386. In 1878 there came on my hand what was thought to be a carbuncle, which ran its course several months, broke and finally healed. The next spring knots, or knodes, came on my arms, which were thought to be rheumatic, and I took gallons of medicine from the best physicians in Cuthbert, Ga., where I then resided. About this time my left limb below the knee commenced swelling at a fearful rate, and finally came to a head and broke. Both arms were sore, and I could hardly bear my weight standing, and hardly know how I uiauuged to live’through it all. About this time we moved from Cuthbert to Atlanta I began to despair of ever getting well; the sore on my limb was a regular eating ulcer, now about three inches in length, two inches in width, seeming to be down to the bone and discharging about a cupful of pus <mutter’ per day, my arms still running, my sleep dis turbed. and I sometimes thought I would lose my reason.

It is simple in construction, and so well illustrated by the cut, that scarcely a word is mteded by way of explanation. Being simply an Iron Nerew and Yut substituted for wood, the wood work of its construction, and the manner of operating it, are suhstai stantially the sumo as in the old style of wooden plantation screw, but the tiniht rs required are not so heavy or long. Most planters of experience prefer the wooden screw to any of the more modern Cotton Presses in use, hut the difficulty and uncertainty of controlling labor and mechanical skill in the season of the year most convenient to the planter for their erec-. tion, usually renders it a matter of economy, as well as necessity, with him, to buy some kind of Press that requires but little mechanical skill to put it in operation. N«rcw," is a. sort of compromise bet ween the old style of wooden screw and the nuxlcrn Cotton Press, combining the principal advantages of the farmer with the convenience and economy of the latter. It can bo operated with greater facility than the wooden screw, and the rapidity of its performance, like that, of the wooden screw, or any other press, depends upon its management—as on the old style screws some planters would pack ten bales, and others thirty or thirty-five bales per day. Any ordinary mechanic who can make a good plantation gate, or common plow stock, can do the wood work. Within the last eleven years we have made und sold n great many of these screws, and have yet to hear of the first one that has not given entire satisfaction.
