TRIALS OF THE BALLrr.-Some time
a benevolent lady took IL into her
head to try and improve the position
and habits of ballet girls, and spoke to a
leading actress on the subject. Tho ac-
tress tried to second the kind lady's en-
dsayors, but warned her against the use
Of tracts. She further said that the
girls would never attend te~a-drinkings
if they thought they would be scolded
and lectured. The lady promised, n
tried, during their first visit to her, to
gain their confidence aud to 6nd ont
what their particular troubles and trials
were. At last o girl, speaking for
the rest, confessed that their greatest
trials were Jacobs ladders.h The
pushed lady begged for an explanation,
and then learned that silk sstights'i
were Q very expensive article of dress
among them, and that often, on slight
provocations, the threads gave way and
rsn up the leg, making what is called a
uJscob,s ladder" The lady, expecting
70 hear Of some spiritual trouble, was
rather disguised.

THE PROPOSED IMPRAoHMENT.

At last advices the impeachment
movement was being thoroughly dis
cussed in Washington circles, and was
seemingly gaining ground.
A number Of resolutions concerning
impeachment have already been offered,
each being in turns referred to
Committees, without debate. These
Committees are composed of some
of the ablest members of the House.
The following charges, drawn up by
Representative Newell, Of New Jersey,
cover all charges presented by other
members:
l. For legislating for the Southern
States in the most autocratic manner,
without consulting with the law-mak-
ing power, when be first entered upon
the duties Of his Office.
Q. Assuming powers which Congress
only can exercise, and laying down
laws for whole sections Of the country.
3. Assuming to decide who are, and
who are not, citizens of the United
States, and forbidding loyal men from
the right of suffrage.
4. For authorizing unpardoned rebels
to exercise the same rights.
s. For handing over the rebel States
to disloyal men, and putting loyal men
under their sway.
6. For encouraging rebels who had
fought to destroy the Union, and putting
down loyal men who had fought to pre-
serve it.
I. For appointing men as Governors
Of States whose hands were wet with
the blood of Union soldiers.
s. For letting loose the rebels Of
New Orleans upon q peaceful and legal
assembly ofloyal men.
9. For afterwards shaking the bloody
hands of those murderers in the recep-
ton room of the Presidential mansion,
and complimenting them upon the man
ner in which they had executed his pro-
gramme for wiping loyalty out Of the
South. sa
10. For denouncing Congress as q
usurpation, and descending to stump
oratory, In this and other cities, to de-
liver harangues calculated not only to
excite q breach of the peace, but Q revo-
luton Of the Government itself.
IL. On p~retense of laying the corner
stone of . monument to a deceased
statesman, repeating those harangues
at every point, the only object Of which
was to bring Congress into contempt and
derision.
