INDIAN WoMEN.-A writer in the
Choctaw Nation, speaking OF their wild
ows, say SIN almost every case old wild
ows would underrate their ages many
who were between fifty and seventy, sta.
ting themselves to be fifteen or twenty.
In few instances they ran TO the oppo.
site extreme. One insisted that she was
two hundred, one six hundred, and anoth
er navely declared SIZE was one thousand.
Another said che waa as old as people ey-
er got, but many who were fifty declared
they were ten, and quite an old squaw
swore she was only onei Che. nj. ola,
or the well dressed beautiful coqueue,
who had buried two husbands, insisted
she was but seven. But the most anus
ing instance Of this delusion occurred in
the case OF Ho-ye-uhbee and his wife Wah-
to-ma. He was about so years old, but
swore he was eight hundred she was sew
enty, but would not admit that she was
more than fifteen.

Simon Et1ggs, the Shifty Man.
liz JoHNsoNsJ. HOOPER, ESQ.

We set the following good 'uh from that spicy
journal, the New York Spirit Of the Times
FIN the .sSpirit of-the Times" Of the
llih inst we gave the first Of series Of
sketches Of one Captain Snggs, late cap
tain Of the Tallapoosa Volunteers, from
1.-THE Fast Alabamian." II will be recol-
lected that Simon, then boy, was caught
by his father--s;a hard-shell Baptist
preacher in the act Of playing "old
sledee'' with negro boy, named Bill, for
which the old man, with 9 handful Of
hickory sticks, threatened TO take the bark
of Of both Of them, and marched them of
10 the Mulberry''--the scene Of all for
NAL punishment administered during work
hours IN The field. 1t is at 'sthe Mulber-
ry'' that he present sketch opens.
It must moi be supposed that, during The
walk to the place Of punishment, Simon's
mind was either inactive, or engaged in
suggesting the grimaces and eontortions
wherewith he was pantomimically ex-
pressing his irrevcrent sentiments towards
his father. Far from it. The movements
of his limbs and features were the more
workings Of habit-the self-grinding o.
the corporeaI macMne--for which his rea-
soning half was only remotely responsible
For while Simon's person was thus, on it
Town account, 'ssmaking game" Of old Jed.

foegipg, were dasllipg, springing, bound

Although | knew that this company

confidence in their loyalty and integrity ;

THE RIFLEMAN'S EXCURSION

We acknowledge that our statement looks rath-
er awkward, from the error which occurred in
the date of the organization of the Corps-we in
tended to say :" l772" instead of " 1892" But
the latter it seems was correct. We give the re-
marks of our friendly correspondent, as the best
correction we can make, and hope the COMPANY
will have full boat and pleasant time this af-
ternoon. They deserve the public countenance.
Nh. Editor: II noticed in an editorial of yours
of Monday, sentence which must ask an ex-
PLANTATION. You say, sir, that the Rifle Company
of this place was organized in l792-was ia &C
tive service during the whole of the Revolution
airy War, and distinguished itself at the Battle
OF Yorktown. Now, sir, | am at loss to know
how Company formed in 1892 could have done
service In war which closed ten years prior to
the formation of the same. | must presume YOU
have been mistaken in the information you have
received The Company was at York Town on
the 10Th October, 1924. when Lafayette was
there--had the Post of Honor, (the right of the
whole lne) and was highly complimented by
the Commanding General (the late lamented
Gen. Roht. b. Taylor) on that occasion
The Company. sir, have made up an Excur
sion simply to relieve itself of the debt which it
has unfortunately incurred for the benefit of the
public generally. The visit to Old Point at that
time will amply repay the cost to see the troops
actively engaged in preparation for embarkaton
to Texas, Go which place they have very re-
Gently been ordered to hear the delightful strains
OF Music from the celebrated Band there, (per
haps for the last time, as they may, in all proba
bity. embark with the troops,) and enjoy the
benefit Of Bathing, which all will admit is very
comfortable in these dog days.
