Miss Loui.se Ferrcll is the latest ac-
quisition in the pugilistic lino that Ma-
comb. 111., can boast of. Her latest en-
counter waii in tlie postofflce there one
evening recently. The lobby was
jammed full, as usual, and Louise,
followed by an escort of jeering- small
boys, pushed her way into the crowd. A
young man made some slighting- remark
about her new bonnet or her new
^ °rth garment, and Louise promptly
knocked the iusulter down. The
crowd, which contained many women,
shouted and formed a ring. The wo-
inen were not at all averse to witness-
ing a fistie engagement between one of
their sisters and a member of the
stronger sex, and they pressed eagerly
forward to got in a better position.
Ihe battle, like the female pugil-
ist, was sliort and decisive. Two or
three well directed right-handers laid
tho young man low, bleeding
from several wounds on his face.
AVhen the poor chap recovered sufti-
cently he crawled away. A titter
reached Louise's ear. It came from
some one just behind her. She whirled
around and caught another youth in
the act of guying her. A good-sized
fist, followed by the girl's strong arm,
flashed through the air and another
member of the masculine gender fell to
the floor. This hardly satisfied the
muscular young lady's thirst for bright
red gore. A third victim succumbed to
her insatiate fury. The police made
no interference and Louise smilingly
picked up her hat and scattered pieces
of clothing ami walked proudly away.
This is by no means Miss Ferreli's
first battle. She had a row with a man
on the street a few weeks ago and se-
verely pounded him. Last week at the

JOHN L. A PROHIBITIONIST.
Captured by Frauds Murphy, lie Makes
a Temperance .Speech.
Startling news concerning Mr. John
L. Sullivan is gradually reaching the
public. Mr. Sullivan has joined the
lilue Ribbon Brigade," and is making
eloquent speeches on the subject of
prohibition.
Yt hen Mr. Sullivan reached the en-
terprising town of Tacoma, in the State
of Washington, after three weeks of
total abstinence, hi' had a thirst several
times larger than the Pacific Ocean.
At the play Sullivan made a great hit
as an actor and was called before the
curtain three times. .Many of the Ta-
coma peoplo in the audience thought
that he was equal to Booth. His elo-
cution was specially admired, and his
stage business in "knocking out" the
villain in the play was heartily ap-
plauded and warmly approved.
After the play Mr. Sullivan fell in
company with some of the dramatic
critics of Tacoma, and they persuaded
him against his better judgment to
drink a bottle of Tacoma champaign.
This bottle was a mere drop in the
ocean of Mr. Sullivan's thirst. By 4 a.
m. there wasn't a bottle of chain pagne
cused upon the problem being pre-
utcd. And he separated and exam-
ined the several points in a case with
analytical accuracy.
Joseph P. Bradley was a New Yorker
by birth, and was born in 1813. He
was the eldest son of eleven children
and worked on the farm until he
reached the. age of Ifi. He taught a
country school every winter from his
loth to his -1st year. His love of study
attracted the attention of the clergy-
men of his village, Berne, N. V., aiid
he was sent to Itutgers, where he grad-
uated in 183C with high honors as a
mathematician.
He studied law with Arthur Gilford
at Newark, N. J., and was admitted to
the bar. In 1840 he opened an office in
Newark and continued to practice
there until his appointment to the Su-
preme court by President I irant in 1370.
In 1S44 he married Mary, daughter of
Chief Justice Hornblower, of New Jer-
sey, t\v whom he had two sons and two
daughters.
In 18i9 Lafayette college conferred
upon him the decree of LIj.D. One of
his most celebrated cases was the New
Jersey bridge case, which he argued
before the Supreme court in 1800.
Since his appointment to the Supreme
court Justice Bradley liad taken a dis-
tinguished part in all its important
proceedings. His mind was remarka-
bly analytical, his legal luarq^ng so

Carter Harrison, the ex-Mayor of Chi-
cago, who comes to the front so con-
spicuously whenever there is any fresh
trouble in the Anarchist colony in the
Windy City, has a fortune of more than
a million. In spite of his openly avowed
sympathy with the communistic senti-
ments of the Anarchists, Mr. Harrison
•has not yet volunteered to share his
estate with them. He gives them
advice, that is all. When the
time drew near for the execution of
the men convicted of the killing of the
officer in the llaymarket riot the ex-
Mayor grew fearful of a demonstration
in which he would bo forced to take an
uncomfortable prominence, so he
started on a trip around the world.

use? Nobody knows, but something is
known about the evolution of the razor
in a general way.
^ "The first razor was a pair of clam
or mussel shells, with which our sav-
age ancestors pulled out the hairs on
their heads by grasping them as with
pinchers. In the course of time it was
found out that by sharpening the edges
of the shells they could be ground
against one another so as to saw off
the hairs. Two keen,edged flakes of
stone could bo employed for the same
purpose, as Mexican Indians utilize bits
of obsidian.
"As a rule, the straight-haired and
scant-bearded races to. day, like the
North American Indians, pluck out
their beards. The Polynesians get rid
of their superfluous hair w ith chloride
of lime, which they manufacture by
burning coal.
"When the bronze age arrived razors
were made of that material, which has
since been susperseded by tempered
steel. The latest razors are fire and
electricity. Barbers of the most ad-
vanced school nowadays singe tho hair
instead of cutting it, and an electric
needle is used to destroy hairs where
they ought not to grow by being thrust
into the follicles, a slight current kill-

The President wants the Indian
protected, and on Feb. 17, sent to
Congress a message calllngattention
to tho Cliicasaw, and Choctaw
claims, for the payment of which
Congress lias appropriated if2,9!) 1,450
n the Indian approbation bill passed
by the last Congress. This amount
was to be paid these Indians for their
interest in lands lying south of the
( anadian river in the Indian terri-
tory aud now occupied by the Chey-
enne and Arapahoe Indians. Tlio
message says:
"If this section had been submitted
to me as a separate measure, especi-
ally during the closing hours of the
session, I should have disapproved
of it; but as Congress was in Us last
hours, a disapproval of the genoral
Indian appropriation bill, of which
it was a part, would have resulted in
consequences so far reaching and
disastrous that I felt it my duty to
approve the bill. But as the duty
was devolved upon me to advise the
acceptance aud approve conveyances
provided for. I havo felt hound to
look into the matter, and in view of
acts which I shall presently men-
tion, to postpone any executive
action until these facts could be
submitted to Congress," The presi-
dent then says it came to his kuow-
ledge that the Choctaw legislature
had agreed to pay three of that tribd
25 per cent of any appropriation ob-
tained from Congress, and that the
Ohoctaws agreed to pay 10 per cent
of their interest to their agents and
attorneys. It also came to the
knowledge of the President that the
action of the Choctaw council was
corruptly Inlluenced in the matter,
Ihe President does not think Con-
gress should legislate so as to give
atfect to such a contract, aud he is
of the opinion that if this appropri ?
ation is to stand, a provision should
be made for protecting these tribes
against extortion. The protectiive
intervention of Congress is asked in
the matter of the refusal of the Chio-
asaw to admit white men to citizen-
ship.
The question of the title of these
Indians to these lands was then
taken up. The President says the
ands were ceded by terms sufficient-
ly comprehensive to have passed
the full title of the Indians.
The words of the treaty and pro-
ceedings connected with it, the
President thinks points clearly to
the conclusion that the government
commissioners and Indians must
have understood this. The govern-
ment was acquiring something
more than a mere release of rights
Undoubtedly, says the President, it
was the policy of the government
for a time to hold these aud adia-
oent lands as Indian country, but
this is quite different froui the' con-
.litional title which limits a grant
to a particular use and works the re-
investment of full title in the In-
dians when that use oeases. Cer-
tainly, if for an adequate consider-
ation by treaty, the Uinted States
placed upon these lands other In-
dian tribes, it was competent to give
them title to a certain aud agreed
reservation. This being so, compen-
sation for lands not needed for al-
lotment purposes should go to the
occupying tribe.
Recital is then made of the vari-
ous Indian tribes having reserva-
tions in this district, to show that
further appropriations are involved
in the settlement for all theso lands
upon the basis adopted by congress.
The President does not approve of
dealing with this question by piece-
meal. It would bo better he says if
the remnant of title remain-
ing in the Choctaws aud Chicka-
saws to lauds in the leased district,
to have settled the whole matter at
Dnce. The calculations made in ar-
riving at the basis of the appropri-
ation made, no account being take
