The infamy of radicalism and its deter

The infamy of radicalism and its deter
mination to destroy the constitution, could
not be better illustrated than by its pro-
ceedings in congress on Monday. A
majority of the members of the supreme
court of the United States were appointed by
Mr. Lincoln, and are republicans, but rad
icalism is afraid to trust them, and on Mon
day the house passed a bill making five of
the supreme court judges quorum making
the concurrence of two-thirds of the judges
necessary to declare an act of congress I'M
constitutional and requiring that when any
law is pronounced unconstitutional by dis
trict or county judge, all proceedings under
his decision shall be suspended till his opin-
ion has been reaffrmed by two-thirds of the
full court. The bill passed by vote of lie
to SO. The Chicago Journal, in making
this announcement, shamelessly says, This
will put a stop to the various attempts about
to be made TO test the constitutionality OF
the reconstruction laws" We shall soon
see what the senate will do with this bold
attempt of the rump congress to overturn
the government, establish military despot-
ism, and appoint Grant military dictator.

Crowding on the heels of the bill to make
Grant emperor of the excluded states, comes
the proposition to pass law baking a ma
jority of twothirds of the supreme court nee
esary to decide in any case Involving the
constitutionalls Of an act of congress.
Several cases are now in that court in
which the validity of the military bills will
be brought in question, and the jacobini
fear that the court will decide against them
Five of the eight justices were appointed b,
President Lincoln, and are members of tn
republican party; but this fact does no
quiet the apprehensions of the black-and
tan reconstructionists.
Should congress pass a law of the chara'
ter demanded it is probable that the cour

| Six of the eight justices are CONFIDENT

are rumors that even Chief Justice Caas
will not prove himself so corrupt partisa
as to attempt to sustain them on the bencl
His address to the bar at Raleigh make
such rumors credible, and his late advances
toward conservatives and professions of COZ
servatism tend to confirm them. Jacobs

the Union Pacific Railroad, Eastern divis-
ion, affords opportunities which cannot be
excelled, if equalled, on this continent or in
the world. 1t is along the route of this
great national highway, west of Fort Hayes,
where they abound. To say there are
large herds of them would be to convey
very inadequate conception of their exis.
tence. Millions upon millions of them
browse upon the extensive and beautiful
prairies of Western Kansas and run wild
over the vast domain from south to north
and north to south. AS far as the eye can
reach over the undulating plain they can
be seen.
The American bison is generally larger
than the COWS or oxen of this country, and
heavier, weighing from sixteen hundred to
two thousand pounds. The color of the
hair is a "dun," or brownish-black, except
the long hair, which is tinged with vel
lowish rust color. The head, shoulders and
neck are usually covered with great shaggy
masses of hair, while on other portions Of
the body and legs the hair is rather short
and fine. Along the back it is coarser, and
about half the length of the hair on the
neck. The physiognomy is rather repul-
sive, and indicates ferocity if aroused or
excited. The flesh of the bison is similar
to coarse grained beef, but more tender and
juicy. When the hump is nicely cut in
steaks and properly bfoiied, or when cook
ed in the Indian style, by sewing up the
meat in the hide and baking in an earth
oven underneath the surface of the ground,
it is ranked among the most delicate of
American dishes. The tongue is highly
priced among epicures, and much preferred
to the tongues of cattle. The decided pre-
ference for this portion of the bison has Of
ten resulted in hunters staying them merely
for the tongues Of the animals, and leaving
all other portions for the wolf and the vul-
ture to iced on.
The Indians in Kansas are almost entire
ly dependent upon the bison for their food,
clothing, dwellings and fuel. The hides,
with the hair, furnish the finest "buffalo
robes" while the dressed hides are also q
considerable article ofcommetce, and quite
profitable. 1t is rather astonishing that,
with the present admirable facilities for
reaching all the Eastern cities and trade
centres, some enterprising sou of America
has not devised somo mode of capturing
The bison, and having them transported to
market in the cars of the "Union" or "Em-
pire" lines of fast freight, and thus realize q
magnificent profit out of the operation
There is no portion of the bison but what
is marketable, if in Philadelphia. or New
York. The cost of securing them and the
freight would be comparatively trifing,
when their value is considered. This trade
cannot much longer be postponed. If the
bison can be caught and killed and por-
tons of the meat prepared and sold east at
a satisfactory profit, how much more remu-
nerative to bring them east on the hoof and
dispose of them alive. The man or men
who start this movement will inevitably
reap rich harvest. = Cor. Of Phild. Eren-

.a,, Extraordinary Woman.

An extraordinary female character is now
an inmate of the Hotel-des-Invalides
Lieutenant Madame Burlon entered the
hotel more than fifty years ago and was the
only female soldier ever admitted to receive
its support
Angelique Marie Joseph Duchemin was
born in 1872. Twenty years later found
her upon the most exciting stage the world
has ever known. Louis XVI. was behead-
ed, and Franco republic; Angeiique was
a wife, a mother, citizen, soldier. She
served several years in the various capaci-
ties of corporal, corporal fourier and ser
geant-major. v.... ..t
In the age of twenty seven, in the year
1893, she was admitted to the hotel, not
because she was woman, a widow, q
mother, but by her right and merit as a
wounded soldier. There she received her
support and the usual pay allowed to nom
commissioned officers and in addition to
this, for some time, d salary of eight dollars
as clerk in the magazine of clothing. At
the age of thirty-fve she became the chief
of this department, with salary of six
hundred and fifty dollars per annum. By
her economy she was able to establish her
daughter, and more recently to aid her
grand children aud great grand children.
At the age of seventeen she was wife,
at eighteen mother, at twenty widow.
Her husband fell at ,Ajaccio, in Corsica
Three days after she learned his fate she
took the uniform of his regiment, and de-
manded permission to ayenge his death
Two brothers had fallen in active service,
her father had died on the field of battle
her heart, head and hand burned to send
destruction to the English and the Corsi-
cans. She told the history of the siege of
Calvi. Eleven months they had been
blockaded, seventy-ive days bombarded
but she brought relief to the garrison of the
fort of Gesco, and the Cross Of the Legion of
Honor on her breast is her country's &C.
acknowledgement of her heroic action.
Madame Burlon said she did not mind
wounds in each arm, nor fear the dark, but
set out alone at midnight, evaded the
guards, reused sixty starving women and
led them to the fort, which was reached at
two o'clock in the morning. She gave the
women each half a pound Of rice, which all
considered an excellent bargain. Still
later, at the siege Of Calyi, all the eannoniers
having been killed, the non commissioned
officers were called upon to fill their places
it was thus, while defending a bastion, in
aiming q xteen-pounder, that she was
wounded in the leg by the bursting of a
bomb shell. This last wound disabled her
for service, and entitled her to place in
the Hotel-des- Inyalides. FL --'.' so
October IL, 1928, upon the proposition
of General de Latour Maubourg, Governor
of the Invalides, she received the grade of
second lieutenant. She never threw off the
military uniform, but once, and that for a
moments amusement to her grand chill
dren when she assumed female attire.
But the children, instead, OF being amused,
burst into tears, and begged their grandpa
ma to go back again to her soldiers
