PARIS ScoUNDRELs Two of the pretti-
est actresses in Paris-Mlle. Roze. of the
Lyrique, and Mile. Massin, Of the Gvmnase
have recently been prosecuted i'll a singular
manner. They both received letters from
an unknown admirer, chiefly remarkable for
their ardor ard bad spelling. The last letter
received by Mile. Roze directed her to meet
the writer at half past five O'clock Of GER
tain evening in front of the Church of the
Trinity, as in case of refusal she might
reckon on having her face aprinkled with
sulohuric acid; and, having first informed
the police of her intention, she did as re-
quested. As she approached the place of
a young workman. in blouse
and cloth cap, came up and addressed her
+" All! you have come. are you alone :"
&" Yes" Well, it is not l who wrote, but
my brother. He is there in that hackney
coach" At that moment several policemen
seized the fellow, and proceeding to the car
riage, found it empty. as matter of course.
Mile. Massin's last letter also contained
illusions to sulphuric acid, but the adven-
ture of Mile Roze removed all perplexities
the course she ought to pursue.

BIG FISH Story A Southern gen

We met boy on the street yesterday,
and without the ceremony of asking our
name. he exclaimed, "fou just orter
been down the river a while ago ~
"Why ?" we inquired.
"Because. said the boy, "a niger
was in there swimming and big cattish
come up behind him aud swallowed bo' h
his feet, and went swimming along on
the top of the water with him, and they
came up behind another big fish, and
the niger swallowed his tail, and the
Niger aud the two fish went swimming
about !"
swell, then, wha,?" we asked.
s'Why, after while the niger swal-
lowed bis fish, aud the other fish swal-
lowed the niger, and that's the last l
saw of ,hem"
"Sonny," said We, with feelings of
alarm for the boy, ''you are in fair
way to become editor Of a Southern pa

paper handkerchi-fs are assuredly COM

paper collar manufacture now has been
extended 10 less prominent but more i'm
portrait garments of great strength and

0achin-, giving seams almost as strong
as - woven fabric The inventor has
particularly applied it to the production
of petticoats, which are either printed
on imitation of tue fashionable skirts Of
the day, or stamped out with open work
Of such beauty aud deIicacy as no
amount of labor with scissors and needle
could initiate. The marvel is tina, these
really beautiful productions can be sold
at retail at fifteen cents each. Ini a
lion cre,ounes and chintz tor bed fur
niture are also made. a set costing AT
retail about 81 so. The felt-d material
is so flexible that a curtain may be twis
ted into a rope and shaken out again,
showing as litrle crrasing rs chintz
similarly treated. There are also table
cloths embossed with signs of great
beauty. This feired paper may, in tie
end, have a serious influence on the pro-
duction of the woven fabrics it is intend
ed to di place. Imitation leather, i'm.
permeabl- to WAFER, is likewise made of
it, and produces a cheap and useful
covering for furniture, and even serves
for shoes.
