A GERMAN WOMAN WHIPS TWO DaAr-
MEN.--An amusing incident happened
yesterday, in that part Of our city known
as Texas. A poor German washer-wom-
an had been 1t seems greatly annoyed by
two draymen, who would right Or wrong,
lake water from her cistern to give to
their horses. The cistern was low, and
the poor woman after demonstrating some
time without effect, determined to resort
Ttq moge roreible arguments. 6lle placed
her children and a couple of tubsfull of
dirty clothes that were in soak, about the
eistern, and then seated herself on the
lid. 10
Soon afterwards the draymen entered
the yard, each carrying a couple Of large
buckets. Setting down their buckets,
they took hold Of the cistern lid, and
carried it and the washerwoman on il, to
the other end of the yard, where they
deposited their load, and going to the
oistern tumbled over the children and be-
gan to draw the water. The blood Of the
Teutonio feminine waxed warm She
rolled up her sleeves, and declaring-"I
bees a besser man as you" she rushed
forward and grappled with one of the
draymen, who struggled to release her
hold, but so violent was The assault that
she backed him TO the tubs of dirty
clothes, and still holding on his neck With
one hand, she with the other grasped a
handful of the soaking garments, whose
odor was anything but pleasant, and be-
gan to thrash him over the head and face
with them,
He struggled, but as one handful was
threshed dry. she grasped another, and
hammered away as if for life. By great
effort tho drayma broke loose, but the
feminine combatant grasped his conrad
and began to lash him also with the wet
clothes, After vain struggle, the two
draymen got fyee, and dashed out, of the
yard in such haste that they left their
buckets behind. The victorious heorine
