4 A VIGOROUS fEMAIE--An old woman,
sentenced to the Cincinnati workhouse as
vagrant, had been placed In charge OF an
officer to be taken out of the city to that
institution. She contrived to evade the
custody of the officer, but after taking two
or three glasses of whisky, was again Sc
cured. The officer then undertook to take
her out in a wagon, and put her on the
seat, between himself and the driver. The
trio thus proceeded along Central av. OF
sudden, the woman knocked the driver
out of the vehicle with one hand, and, turn
ing, upset the officer into the bottom OF
the wagon with the other. Then, climbing
out of the wagon, she seated herself on the
back of the horse, gave a fierce YELL
striking the animal with her hands and
feet, so that he was frightened into extra
ordinary sped. The amused and astonish-
ed spectators on the avenue were only de-
prived of their enjoyment when, at length,
the officer succeeded in seizing the hines,
aud brought the horse to, SO sudden halt
that the rider went headforemost over the
animals ears. The driver, coming up, as
sisted the officer to pick up the woman.
and both the men recovered their compIa-
cency on finding her much quieDed by her

Two MEN IN LIFE AND DEATH UNITED,-
At No. 13 Colgate street. Jersey City, re-
sided De11fds Tuohy a tinsmifh. Three
or four doors around the; corner from
Tuohy's in Seventh street, resided his cou-
sin, John Wallace. also q tinsmith. The
men worked together, and were constant
companions. One would not feel comfor-
table at an excursion or picnic without the
other. On Tuesday they took ramole
through the city, had some drinks and re-
turned to their homes in the evening.
About fifteen minutes past nine o'clock,
Tuchy was sitting on a chair, about
to take his supper, when he fell to the
ground and died In few moments. Some
of the inmates of the house ran around the
corner to call in Wallace, and on entering
his housefound confusion reigning there,
Wallace had Just tumbled of his chair in q
similar manner, and death ensued in two
minutes. Both men were apparently in
good health up to the hour of their depar.
ture from this world. Whether they had
swallowed any liquid that was poisonous
during the day is question for the Coron.
er's -jdry. Coroner Burns ordered post.
mortem examinations to be made, and the
results are awaited with much interest.
Tuohy was thirty -four years of age, and
leaves a wife and four children. Wallace
also leaves q wife, and he had just COM
pleted his thirty fourth year. This fatality
is SO remarkable that 10 opinions can be
formed till the inquest takes place ?, =

PAPER CLOTHING AND ARTICLES OF
UsE.-The japanese paper handkerchiefs
are assuredly coming, if a contemporary
be right. The paper collar manufacture
now has been extended to less prominent
but more important garments of great
strength and iexibility, which can be sew
ed with machine, giving seams almost as
strong as woven fabric. The invention
has particularly applied it to the produc-
ton ofpetticoats, which are either printed
in imitation of the fashionable skirts of the
day, or stamped out with open work of
such beauty and delicacy as no amount of
labor with scissors and needle could imi-
tate. The marvel is that these really beau
tiful productions can be sold at retail at
fifteen cents each. Imitation cretonnes
and chintz for bed furniture are also made,
set costing at retail about $3.50. The
felted material is SO flexible that q curtain
may betwisted into a rope and shaken out
again, showing as little creasing as chintz
similarly treated. There are tablecloths en-
bossed with signs of great beauty. This
telted paper may in the end have serious
influence on the production of the woven
fabrics it is intended to displace. Imita-
ton leather, impcrmeable to water, is like
wise made of it, and produces a cheap and
useful covering for furniture and even
serves for shoes.
