Advance of Civilization In the North.

Advance of Civilization In the North.
The New York Herald, speaking Of
| calls New Years Day in that city
says:
Clubs composed OF twenty or thirty
men, with banners bearing ridiculous
titles, and transported in feed wagons,
drays or trucks of all sizes, and rugged
out in every style of unique embellish-
ment, also paraded in the throng of the
streets These parties, organized for
the purpose Of making calls" on grand
scale, we're very numerous, and secured
the city about in every direction to the
horror of a majority Of the ladies,
who probably concluded from such
sad experience that there could really
be too much of good thing in the
way of New Year calls. Undaunted,
however, by frowns from fair faces,
and hints from sharp tongues, these To-
Gust clouds swept through the city, clear
ing tables of everything edible, evape'
rating allthe liquors and smoking all the
cigars with Unsuitable appetites, leaving
for the gay youths who travelled in pairs
nothing but empty decanters, gaunt
frames of we'll picked fowls, and the un.
faded fro as of the veXed fair ones,
These clubs were in the main composed
of workmen in the same shop, or clerks
in the same store, who, gathering all
their young friends together, made up
party, formed club, under some queer
designation, and procured couple of
trucks, after decorating them with ban
ners and transparencies, bearing appro-
pirate notices, started on grand torag-
ing tour among their acquaintances.
One of these parties, numbering full
forty men, and bearing the appropriate
title of " The Dead Beat Club, calledat
several aristocratic mansions-the resi-
dences of employers of dead beats afore-
said-and to the horror of the ladies,
who did the honors, fairly cleared the
tables before the day was half spent
Devastation followed in their track
throughout the day, and they have the
credit, with similar organizations, of
having created new sensation for the
New Year time
Many of the uptown residences were
closed, however, and their occupants re-
ccived no calls, accepting the card of
visitors, deposited in baskets hung on
the bell-knobs, in lieu of personal con-
gratulations At these places The
Dead Beats and ether clubs contribu-
ted pennies and few stamps instead of
cards, by way of sarcasm, on an imagined
parsimony.
Well, what better could be expected
from an absurd custom that makes bar
keepers of young ladies on New Years
day.

body have been for nearly a year receiv'
ing arms, which were. aud are being,
furnished from the Eastern States by
loyal Governors and other parties. Mr.
Forney, the Secretary Of the Senate, in
his paper here, the Chronicle, declares
that resistance on the part Of the Presi-
dent to the order Of the Senate TO cease
his functions during his trial, would To
tho signal for a million Northern men TO
fly 10 arms, and march to Washington
to sustain Congress. That is the hope
of the Radical leaders, and it is upon
that they mainly rely to operate upon
General Grant and divorce him from the
President. My own opinion is that
General Grant will work to keep the
peace, and that he will sustain the Pres:
ident against any attempted coercion OF
him by Congress. And think the Pres
ident is assured Of that But all that
will not prevent the Radicals going
through with their programme. And
you will find that the presses that have
been deprecating impeachment, will fall
in line, give it their support, and urge
on members to the work. Such is the
history of all such movements.
But when will the impeachment pro-
gramme be carried out2 Not, in my
opinion, to its full extent at this present
session, which is too short for so impor-
tant proceeding. The foundation for
il will be laid, so that the new Congress,
which is to assemble at noon on the 4th
of March, can take the subject up at an
early date, and have the whole summer
before it to work in The Senate is not
Just now strong enough. 1t will receive
several Radical accessions on the 4th Of
March in place of Democrats and Con
servatives who retire.

The Queen of Skates.

They have had a skating carnival in
Philadelphia during the past week, one
of the most attractive features being the
appearance on the ponds of Miss c. A.
Moore, the "Skatorial Queen" as she is
called. The Philadelphia Press gives
the following account Of this interesting
female:
A portion of the park, inclosed with a
portable picket fence, was appropriated
exclusively for Miss Moore. Her ap-
pearance at the park each afternoon
made her "the observed OF all observers"
The ice was crowded with skaters, and
the platforms and other convenient places
at which q sight of the Queen could
be obtained were filled with spectators,
many of the first families of the city
being present In skating circles the
performance and appearance of Miss
Moore formed the topic of general con-
versation. Among those who had seen
her there was a general desire to know
how she was dressed For their edifica-
ton, and for all others who feel an IN
terest in such matters, we may state that
Miss Moore has two skating costumes.
Ore of them consists OF basque and
skirt of purple velvet beaver cloth, trim
med with deep border Of gray and white
squirrel fur, above which are three rows
of silver trimming. She wears hat
made of the same material, trimmed with
fur, to correspond with that of the dress
Her Polish costume consists OF a basque
of blue velvet, and scarlet skirt trimmed
with ermine fur aud gold lace, the entire
dress being spangled with small gold
stars. A hat of red and blue velvet, and
white plume, adorned her head, while
her feet were encased in red kid boots.
Both the costumes are very rich and eie-
CANT a.,
Pray, sir" said q gentleman, do
you know what kind Of skates she uses
Yes, sir; they are the common rock
ers,' made Of the best material her
skates we're manufactured in Boston, and
have no sharp or projecting points to as
sist h-r in maintaining her upright posi-
ton, while she is dancing or performing
her most difficult movements upon her
toes Il SONS to be universally admit
ted that Hiss Moore is the best known
skater in the world
