A SENSATION ON THIRD sTREET.-This morn
ing Third street was Illuminated by the presence
OF Miss Terrence Clatlin, of the firm of Wood
hull Il Clafin, of New York. brokers, editors,
and feminine progressionists in general. Hay
ing been honored with visit from the lady,
description of her personal attractions will of
course be expected by our readers Well aware
that we cannot do justice to the subject we
hesitate to even make the attempt but with the
memory of Miss Clatlin's sailor hat jauntily
santing down over her eyes, her blue jacket
and other bewitchments of costume-feminine
enough to be elegant and yet sufficiently mas
culine to suggest the progressive woman of the
period, we must endeavor to steady our nerves
for the attempt. Miss Terrence Claain then,
is apparently about twenty-three years
of age, good figure-and sufficient
of her figure is displayed to prove that
nature had done more for her than the artif-
cialities OF the milliner-and features to which
slight departure from the classic world gives a
piquancy that is not without its attraction.
Miss Clafin wears her hair short; her ewes are
dark and penetrating, and she has tongue that
can out talk even that eminent conversatonalist
George Francis Train, who we had always con-
sidered heretofore as the champion talkist.
Miss Clafin's abilities in this line are certainly
something remarkable, and combined with her
personal attractions they make her perfectly
irresstlble.E She has lust returned from trip to
Washington, where she has been per-
suading the President the members of
the Cabinet, the Senator's Representatives, and
the diplomatic corps to aid in certain financial
schemes she has on hand, and to subscribe for
and contribute to WOOdhuU & Cldftns Weeklg
q new journal of literature science, and art.
which the eminent firm of which she is a men,
Der has just started IN New York. Miss Clahin
is her own agent, and she carries with her a tack
hammer and paper of tacks, so it is probable
that by the time this reaches the eyes of our
readers every banking-house and brokers office
on Third street will contain one of her cards.
put up in conspicuous place by the fair hand
of the irrepressible Jennie herself Miss Clahin
makes good report of her mission to Wash
ington, and says that she has secured
the active support of all the
Government officials, from the President down
to the pages at the Capitol, and Grant has even
gone so far as to volunteer a weekly contribu.
tion to the sporting column on the subject of
"Horses and their running qualities" Truth to
say, the number of WOOdbuU and Clafin's
Weekly that lies before us, presents a very at
tractive appearance, and there is decided evil
dence of ability in its editorial management
Miss Claflin says that her sister, Mrs. Woodruff
can talk more in one day than she can in a
week, and to use fgurative expression, it is
evident that these two smart females are whole
team and about half-a-dozen good-sized ponies
over. We wish Terrence luck, aud we hope she
will pick up enough subscribers in Philadelphia
to her paper to start it fairly on prosperous
career,
