Show Miss Tenuie C. Clafliii. The greatest living curiosity in tho city at the present time is MissTennie C. Claffin. Shp created more of a sensation in town, yesterday, than the entrance of a iirst-class circus wUhan extensive sltte-show attachment of fat women, strange birds with variegated plumage, and immense snakes would havedonc; and an open air tight-rope performance would have been completely com-pletely eclipsed. The sister of the would-be soci.il reformer, yietoria Woodhull, was tripping in and out of Hverv oilk-e Unit she coidd discover by intelligent perseverence, and last night, alter doing the heaviest canvassing can-vassing business ever accomplished in this city iji one day, ahe attcndal the theatre, and still a'-te not .ohly to enjoy the performance, but to pleasantly pleas-antly talk WoodhvtU and Chtjlin'a Wcekhj to the numerous gentlemen who sought and made the acquaintance acquaint-ance of the indefatigable woman. If Tannic were a man ye wquld un-hcBiUitinglypronounco un-hcBiUitinglypronounco her a "brick," but, of course, we cannot describe a female by any such vulgar expression; but we trust the lady will not take it as anything but a merited compliment compli-ment whon we say she is decidedly the best talker in petticoats wc ever had the pleasure of listening to. After a few minutes' conversation with her a man would pawn anything ho could borrow and subscribo for the Weekly, In appearance she is pleasautandhas a business air, which, though unusual un-usual in one of her sex, 13 far from being disagreeable. Victoria Woodhull will be here in a few days, when our citizens will doubt-less doubt-less have an opportunity of hearing something of her peculiar social views. |
