New YORE, Jan. 4.—There is a marked differ- ence of opinion in various social circles as to ‘whether New-Year’s Day was celebrated more or less than usual. Some ladies say they never received 50 many calls; some that they never received sofew. The temperance folk arc cer- tain there was never so little offercd in the way of wines and liquors; the convivialists reply that there was never so much. To strike the happy medium has been the fortune of few speculators, critics, or inquirers. Nor did the city press lend any assistance. Half the papers said it was a big day; half said it was extremely dull. On one point, happily. there was no dis- pute. The storm was a fact,—an apparent, larze, disagrecable, defying fact. The evening calls were 8 wet. failure; and the saddest young men in the country were those who sat down In the snow at divers times and in divers places after the duties of the day were done. THE CALLS OF OTHER DAYS. ‘There is a well-founded claim that the custom »f making New-Year's calls, now so general throughout the United States, originated among lhe Dutch settlers of New York, in the good old Hays of Diedrich Knickerbocker. To the stran- gerin New Amsterdam 200 years ago, every door was thrown open once a year. A high breach of rtiquette was laid to the charge of the caller who omitted any acquaintance, and on New- Year’s the petty quarrcls of the past might be settled and a new treaty of friendship be ar- ranged. According to the historian, the parlor Hloor was, in those days, carpeted with sand, in which the portly matrons and their blooming daughters drew fanciful ficures and devices ‘which showed bo*h taste and ekill, but which ielded long before crisp evening to the wear of many shoes. The chairswere high and straight- backed, ornamented with brass nails; in one <orner ‘stood the caken chest, filled with housghold linen, the muke and pride of the la- dies; the great fire-place with its blazing logs and brass-mounted andirons lent warmth and light alike; and the round tea-table, with its huge secd-cake, its substantial rounds of beef, its punch and wines, completed a pictureof wel- come. WASHINGTON’S CELEBRATION. President Washington opencd the year 1790 4n New York with a reception of the most in- teresting character. It was held in the Franklin House, at the hcad of Cherry street, and was Mrs. Washington’s first levee. That lady stood by the Generat's side recciving callers, and friendly conversation followed. Tea, coffee, plain and plum cake were handed round after all were seated. When the clock struck 9, Mrs. Washington sald emilingly, *The General slways retires at 9, and I usually precede Lim.” This, of course, closed the pleasaut evening. With recard to the day and its ob- gervance, Gen. Washington remarked: “The ‘highly-favored situation of New York will, in the process of vears, attraet numerous emi- grants, who will_ gradually change its ancient customs and manners; but, whatever changes take place, uever forzet the cordial, cheerful observance of New-Year’s Day.” Nor such been forgotten. There have been hard times, times of panic, times of war, times of wild ex- citement: but in all times Kew-Year’s Day nas held its own well in this city, despite the ciforts of extravagance and fashion. AT CENTRAL PARE. While the visits at private houses were proba- Bbly Jessnumerous than formerly, the visits to Cébtral Park were vastly increased in number. The skating was exccllent, and it is estimated that 30,000 people were on kates during the morning. Here and there was enacted a scene Tecalling Mr. Winkle's experience on the ice, but grace andskill carried the day by a large majority. In addition tothis sight, the park was alive with the jingle of bells. Every cut- ter and sleigh which conld be gotten hold of for love or mouey was in use. The liverymen put, their prices p to mect the occasion, and put them so high, os one of their victims remark- ed, that they haven’t been able to get them down since. THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW. | The storm was well worth a paragraph. It attracted more attention than sny other fea- ture of the day. It made tho streets well-nigh impassable over night,and furnished employ- ment to thousands of hungry men and boys next morning. It kept several hundred people away from home, rendered the horsc-cars sub- Ject to the severest disciptine for irregularities, ‘held many a belated carrigee fast in some side strect, and caused many a belated traveler the extreme of fatigue. There has been no equal to this storm in many years. The streets in the upper section are piled high with snow, which will only too soon be converted into a dreadful Imixtare, ruinous to health and temper. Down- Yown the work of carting the snow to the river ‘Thas gone on rapidly and with good effect; but the crossings invite one to wade ankle-deep through a sandy slush, and pedestrianism is any- thing but a comfort and delight. The most at- ive display of goods just now is found to be ‘that of arctics and rubber boots. & THE CASTELLANI COLLECTION. ‘The Metropolitan Museum, not content with baving secured the complete Cesnola collection, ‘has fixed the eye of desire on portions, at least, of the admirable collection of Signor Castellani. ‘The entire collection is soon to be placed on ex- bibition at the Museum, and it is expected by this method to so arouse the antiquarians and ‘weslthy that little of the entire collection will be allowed to leave the city. The admission fees are to be set apart to buy the majolica por- tion. The general interest in this exhibition is mot lessened by the fact that in London it created one of the two principal artistic sensa- tions of the year: while the other sensation was the result of the display of the lately-purchased Cesnola antiquities. AN ACTOR’S WISH FULFILLED. Claude Burroughs, the actor, who played his 1ast role as victim in the Brooklyn fire, was pos- sessed of some $3,000 worth of personal prop- erty, besides. a pleasant home in Westchester County, in which he had placed his parents. ‘This fact reminds me of a chapter—in his life which has not been in print, and which explains ‘the stories set afioat regarding his engagement, the broken-hearted fiancee, etc. Mr. Burroughs ‘was, some time previously, engaged to the charming daughter of a lady living on West Tenth street. He at last came to theconclusion which many young men reach, that he could not . afford to marry. He frankly talked the matter over with the young lady, to whom hewas warmly attached, and she agreed with him. Yet they remained the firmest fricnds, and hevisited her as before, though the engagement was broken off. When the company to which Mr. Burroughs belonged was obliged to go to Brook- Isn, he often expressed to.the young lady his aversien to “going to Siberia,” as the play- people called it. Tuesday, the day of the fire so fatal to him, he wrote her & note, in which he expressed a wish that the old theatre would burn up. The papers of Wednes- day morning brought the young lady néws that his wish had been fulfliled. ~It was not then supposed, however, that any lives had been lost. She at:once replied, recafling to the actor his wish, and sent the answer by messenger to the hotel where he had been boarding. She then entered ona round of shopping. ‘The clerk at the hotel, knowing Mr. Burroughs’ fate, re- turned the mes: to the sender’s house. She heard nothing on the street about the loss of life, and at noon entcred a restaurant to lunch, While there Lester Wallack entered with Mr. Montague. Seeing her, and knowing ‘her inti- mate relations with Mr. Burroughs, they offered her words of condolence. A single question was answered, and the lady swooned. She reached home to find there her note, and to have the loss of alover, in whose interes: she had sacrificed her hopes, made certain. People who hunt for special coincidences in everythiug have good op- portunity in this wish so speedily satistied. MILK AND WATER. It isseldom questioned that New York con- sumers get more water along with their milk than they bargain for. Yetthe recent crusade against the milk-dealers reminds one forcibly ot the spasmodic movements Dr. Rauch was wont to make during bis sanitary superintendency in Chicago. The victim is carefully selected, trapped, and brought to trial with a flourish and flare dramatic enough 1o suit the vengeful taste of those who have suspected the “cream.” Conriction or acquittal follows, and that is the end of it. The consumers feel that justice has been meted out, and the dealers go right on, using precisely the same quantity of water to the gallonas before. In the present instauce the solitary defendant was Daniel Schrumpl. The lactometer indicated that Daniel’s milk was thin. To offsct this an assault was made on the accuracy of the lactometers in general, and of this lactometer in particuiar. Experts in milk-test- ing were gathered from near and 1ot so near. The Board of Health was handled without gloves by the counsel for the milkmen, and the milkmen were handled in the same way by the counsel for the Board of Health. Morcover, there was so long and bitter a contest between the inspectors who claimed to be experts and experts who were not inspectors, that for atime Daniel Schmmgf was of no more account in the matter than if he had been some other milk- man. But at last the Judge sent the jury out, and at the end of an hour an officer brought them in again with a brief message which inter- ested both Schrumpf and _the other milkmen. The message was ** Guilty,” and the Judge gave sentence of ten days’ imprisonment and $250 fine. Schrumpf went to jail, the other milkmen to a convention. They raised money to pay the fine, instructed counscl to appeal the casc, re- ticved themselves as to the Board of Health lac-* tometer, and went back to their milk-cans and water-troughs. From all which consumégs hope good will come—good milk. E TEMPERATE, BUT NOT TRUSTED. The suspicion that money collected for vari- ous good objects never reaches those objects is not fresh. The method adopted, however, by certain temperance people to prevent waste of funds in that cause certainly is fresh. There has been a scries of temperance-meetings at Steinway Hall, extending a good way back in time. The custom of passing the ecollection- boxes at these mectings obtained from the first. In that way it was hoped to get a goodly sum to aid in prosecuting the war upon rum-scllers and in reclaiming rum-drinkers. As may well be imagined, it created no smalt excitement in Steinway Hail when the President of the Ameri- can Temperance Union openly charged that the collectors were in tho habit of stealing from the boxes. It scems that in pass- ing from the auditorium to the plat- form the collectors iwent through a rear room. Accordging to Mr. Gibbs, the President afore- said, they made use of the moment in this con- cealed place by seizing all the bills and larger coins, and depositing these in their own pockets. This_method had the double advantage of pre- venting the squandering of the money by the Temperance Union and repaving the collectors for the arduous task of passing the boxes. It was not favorablv regarded, nevertheless, by Mr. Gibbs,and will probably be discontinued on saccount of his prejudices. That such a charge could be eomade; that the collectors could be men considered mot only respectable and temperate but pious; and that nothing should be done about it save the passinz of the ‘boxes by new partics, is & state of things pecul- far to a great city. THE HOME OF CHANGE. A chapter of changes might well be written vegurding the Hippodrome. A circus,a beer- garden, a tabernacle, a trotting-ground,—all these has it been within the memory of a young- ster. Barnum, and Gilmore, and Mooy, and; worse than all, trottfng marcs and kicking mules, have succeeded each otber at this huge hybrid institution. The trotting has been more popular than Gilmore’s glorious music was, though not more popular than Gilmore's frothy beerwiis. Anexciting incident occurred theother night, when one of Bergh's officers stopped a trot. The reason given was, that one of the horses had a broken shoe, and was being injured oy the race. The betting men charged that the officer bad been brought in by parties who saw they were to lose, and who succeeded in having the bets declared ‘“off” in this semi-official way. There was a fine ficld for a_fizht, but, as is usually the case, too many Metropolitan Po- lice were hanging about to offer any encourage- meant to that pastime. ~ MAKING UP AN AUDIENCE. ‘The managers of Booth’s Theatre are resolved that *‘ Dan’l Druce™ shall be scen whether or no. -They have invented a plan to manufacture professional audiences. For instance, invita- tions are ent to 1,200 doctors, with tickets good for a certain night. After that the lawyers will have their turn; angd after the lawyers the min- isters. Nor is there reason to think that the dergymen’s night will be lighter in attendance than the others. The success of this course can- not be too confidently counted upon. The 1,200 doctors will doubtless conclude that once is enough; the lawyers are 2 non-tommittal body in such matters, and not to be affected foror against; the clergy might possibly, some of them, take the opportunity to investigate an abomination, and then ‘prumh stroug sermons ainst the tendencies of the place. Altogether, there is enough risk about ‘the experiment to make it palatable to an ambitious management. MR. TALMAGE'S LECTURES. As an offset, perhaps, to to the movement of Messrs. Jarrett & Palmer, dr. Talmage an- nounces a course of Sunday-morning lectures to professional men. He will: begin with actors, and then tell what the model newspaper-man ought to do and be. He is not expected, how- ever, to hold up as a shining exemplar his coa- Dection, and more particularly his disconnection, ‘with the Ckristian at Work. The Tabernacle, by the way, is In desperate circumstances financial- 1y. The announcement is not infrequently made that the Tabernacle is frec from debf. The truth remains, nevertheless, that men are laboring with might and main to prevent the selling out of the sensational institution. . G. BUSINESS. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. New YORE, Jan. 3.—1It is already evident that the new year witnesses a much better feeling in the business community than was apparent when the old year closed its eyes. Itisa good thing for business to come to a halt for a few days at thelclose of the year, 50 that business men may, like school-boys at the end of the quarter, review the work they have done. By this means they ascertain just what portion of their grumbling and complaining resulted from ex- isting facts or was the result of imagination. “Hard times” is a cry easily learned, and may be repeated unceasingly by any well-trained parrot. It is a fact that the review of the year ‘which has been going on for the past few weeks in every counting-room has imparted a better feeling to business men. They find, as a rule, that 1876 show ;at least a small balaace on the right side of the ledger, and that is all any man is entitled to. ‘There have been no immense fortunes accumulated by a few at the expense of many, but the multitude bas made a living, and the mujorltg saved up something. A question one hearson all sides, in cars, ferry- boats, and on the streets, when acquaintances meet, is, * Well, how did the year use you?"” The almost invariable answer is, * Fairly— not.hlngm brag of, but we pulled through “all right.” When one reflects that the hard “times have resulted from a want of confidence among business men, and that comparatively few have put forth any energy or enterprise in order” to increasc or even to liold their business,—but on the contrary, have retrenched in every possible direction, till retrenchment became much like suicide,—it is very much to say that they HAVE HELD THEIR OWN. If, with the expenditure of so little enterprisc as was displayed during the past year, 4 paying business has been done, what may we not sc- complish this year under a full head of steam? The indications now arc that better times are closc at band. Very many firms that I have beard of, in making their arrangements for the new yeur, are preparing to put forth more per- sistent efforts to obtain business this year than they did last. Three months ago there was quite a revival in trade, and everybody felt happy, con- fident that the improvement had come to_stay. ‘Then came the electiontrouble with all its hopes aud fears, unsettliug everything for the time being and throwing a cloud upon business pros- pects. But this is but a passing cloud, and will soou be dissipated by the inauguration of Presi- dent Hayes. - All the elements” which tended to create a business revival three or four months ago still cxist in the conntry, dormant it is true, but ready to spring forth as soon as the political clouds shall have passed uwnr A month ago everybody was blue, disappointed, dissatisfied, and apprehensive; to-day there is an ablding confidence that wisdom Will prevail in settlin the disputed Presidential issue, and that any se- rious disturbance is entirely out of the question. Partisanship has been entirely Iaid aside by all . outside of the rings of office-lolders and office- scekers, and the universal demand is for the in- auguration of a President whose right to -the scat will defy contest, whether that President be Hayes or Tilden. This is the sentiment of the business men of New York—if Tilden is cn- titled to the place, give it to him; if Hayes, glve it to him. But whichever one gets it may rely upon’ it that there is to be no disturbance in consequence,—three mouths of. busi- business siagnation already in conscquence of the clection is all thé country cares for. Let the assurance once go forth that the Presiden- tial trouble is_settled with as much honesty as can be evolved from the situation, and business men stand ready to s’griug forth with energy to avail themselves of the evidences of returning prosperity which were visible on all hands last foll. - Already men begin to sce thatthe wild partisanship “which ran riot throughout the campairn has dicd out, and that the threats of violence then so frecly made were wild and vis- ionary. Common sensc has returned, and those who fecently were so clamorous for war would be the first to denounce anything that looks like a disturbance of the peace. . TILDEN'S STATE OF MIND. MIr. Tilden—we call him ex-Governor now—is reported to be in & very disturbed state of mind at prescut. He staked eyersthing upon the Presidential issue,—ambition, fortune, and rep- utation,—and the prospeet of losing the prize is said to be seriously affecting his mind. This was his last opportunity, and if he fails in securing the Presidency now he " knows that he never can. get it. He had firmly made up his mind to win atallhaz- ard: he played with the boldness bred of des- eration, and he feels keenly the fact that he no longer dletates to his own party. The cmer- gency which has come upon the country rises supirior to personal ambition, and wiser heads than that of S. J. Tilden are now dictating the policy of the Democratic party. is voice was for war, but_theirs is more moderate, more yielding, more_ in the interests of the country than of Mr. Tilden. He is reported to be morbidly scnsitive to the slight put upon him by the leaders of his party in thus ignoring him and his personal claims. "He thinks, or pre- tends to, that he was clected by the people, and that if he is counted out it will be through the treachery or cowardice of his friends. en- tleman who is in the habit of calling at the Gov- ernor’s house oceasionally told me yesterday that he is wonderfully changed within the past few weeks. The day after the election he was receiving the congratulations of his friends on his success, and had no doubt of it, taking to himself the credit of a personal victory. Then came doubt aud uncertainty, and to- day, when the chances are against, he is_ hagrard, irritable, and over- whelmed by the ' possibility that he is doomed to disappointment. Iam informed that e sleeps little at night, so pertinaciously does this doubt and suspense harass him. Some of his friends_express the belief that he will lose his reason if the issue goes azainst him, and one of them said he would not. survive a week if Gov. Hayes should be inaugurated. OI course, there are exaggerated statements in circulation regarding Mr. Tilden, and one must take them allwith & grain of allowance,—as, for instance, the one that he is becoming habitnally intem- erate. That bieis a drinking man is well kuown, ut that he is much worse now than he has ever been, i3 a matter of doubt. Yet stories gain circulation to the effect that he is frequently taken home at night helpicssiy intoxicated. _As T have never scen himin such condition, I do not vouch for it, but give it as rumor, worthy of some attention because of its frequent repeti- tion. Certainly, if_his mind is excited as much s is generally believed by the prospect of his being defented, he is not likely to improve_his condition by theuscof alcoholicstimulants. Four Fears azo the country lost abetter and a strong- er man than he through disappointment in the Presidential canvass, without the aid of any oth- er poison. 1f Horace tirceley could not with- stand the one, Mr. Tilden cun hardly be expect- ed to survive defeat ana bad whisky in conjunc- tion. A HARD WINTER FOE THE POOR. Andsoit has been, very hard, indeed, for thechar- itably disposed persons in the city have sadly di- ninished, not only in numbers, but in the amount of their zifts. But itis not this so much which has made this winter especially hard,—it is the unusually large number of per- sons out of employment who are forced to de- pend upon charity. I said there was over 100,- 000 such persons in New York alone, in addition to the usual numbar. A gentleman connected with one of our charitable institutions, whose business 1t is to seck the poor and afflicted, informs mie that there arc more than twice that number, and that these are literally on the brink of starvation,—that is to say, they never have a full meal, and subsistentirely upon charity, or what they can find in the streets. Children live upon cold victuals begged from door to door, or the refuse of the marbaze barrels. But there are none 0 good to the poor as the poor them- selves. They help one another more than they are helped by the rich. A person who knows what it is to be hungry will never see another starving while he has a crust to share with him. Many touching storics are told in the station houses and police courts of the goodness shown to each other by persons whose almost daily lot it is to be hungry and cold. It is doubtless a fortunate thing or the country that the majority of these people who are so excessively poor are forcign born. Their experience in the Ol Couutry taught them to bear with patience the evils they encounter here. Americans never could stand it. They would rebel, create riots, steal, and " rob, beforc - they would submit to such abject poverty. and such positive suffering. But the condition of even the poor in this country is so much bet- ter than it is in the countries Trom which they have come that it does not affect them so sc- riously as it does us. Italy has of latc years been contributing largely to our pauper popu- lation, and, there is probably no country in the world where the depths of poverty have been so thoroughly sounced as in Italy. The poverty the Ttaliaus encounter here, so long as it falls short of ubso&ute starvation, is far better than the condition they knew at home. The same may be said of the Irish. TOE AVERAGE DEGREE OF POVERTY existing among them in this country is nothing compared to the poverty of the same classes at ‘home. Such food as they receive here would be luxury to those they have left behind them. 1t is the national improvidence of the Irish that makes them so poverty-stricken here in the winter. It s from the Irish mainly that comes up the cry of starvation every winter, and, as a matter of fact, it is usually warranied by the existing facts. But if they had the foresight and economy of the Germans, the Italians, or the despised Chinese, the ecarnings of the spring, summer, and fall would carry them comfortably through the winter. But the Irish are proverbially free-handed, and if they earn o dollar t y arc not satisfied till they have spent it. As arule they are ready enough to work, but they are more “cager to spend. The Italians and Chinese will work quite s readily, for less wages, if necessary, but they always keep the heel of their weathar-eye open for that L r:n‘ni' day” which we are tanght to look out for. They will content themselves with poor farc even'in the season of their prosperity in order that they may strike an averaze subsist- ence toroughout the year. The Irish, on the contrary, will live up to their earnings when they have work, and go with empty stomachs when they baye none. But, as the Irish pre- dominate nhere, and are continually on the in- crease, poverty becomes more apparent in our midst year by year, Speaking of the IRISH PREDOMINATING, reminds me of a remark I overheard one make yesterday. Two of them were shoveling snow, when one of them, straightening up to relieve thecrook in his back, said, ¢ Well, Pat, my boy, this New York is a foine city, ain’t it?" ¢ Sure it is,” says Pat, “ a moighty fine city.” Well,” says the other, “don’t yon think ould Ircland ought to be proud of us boysas has captured it? New York belongs to the Irish as much as Dublin does, and it’s we boys that have captured it.” It wass homely truthhe spoke, which is being forced in upon us poor na- tives hour by hour to our cost. Here in this city, the ;richest iu the land, the property-own- ers have ‘no voice in matters of tazation, be- cause they are outvoted by the imported non- property-holding classes. Our City Govern- ment is run by the Irish in the interests of the Irish. An American citizen, native-born, has few rights which they are bound to respect. If one wishes to satisfy himself as to the character- or Dationality of our ralers, e has but to spend an hour at the public oflices in the City-Hall, or about the saloons in the vicinity, where the “zoverning classes ™ are in the habit of taking their beverage. - Whether we arc ever to recover from this invasion and usurpation is a problem for the future tosolve. Ido not know that we are proportionately any worse off than other largelcities, but it is a growing evil throughout the courtry: It is the concentration of the poor and irresponsible classes in the largze cities. - Can any one explain why it is that labor- ing men insist upon congrezating in the larze cities, at all times overcrowded with laborers, and where there is the least possible chdnce for them to carna living? If a couple of hundred thousand of them could be persuzded to take Mr. Greeley’s advice and *“go West,” it would be of mutual advantage to both theeity and the country. DurToN. —— RETROSPECTION.

DESNOYERS. ——— A Good Boy. Detroit Free Press. He was standing at the corner of Campau and Jeflerson avenues when a policemancame along, and pointing to a box at his feet this good boy said: “ The farmer who lost that off his sleigh will feel awful bad. I S’Pusc you'll take it ‘to the station, won’t you?” “You are an honest hoy,” replicd the officer. “Some boys would have lugged that box off home. Yes, I’ll take it to the station.” It was a stout box, weighing over eighty pounds, and when the officer sat it down in_the station-house all his bones ached. Some said it was butter, and some said cheese, and £0 it was opened. The contents were cobble-stones. The officer ran all the way back. and he spent hours looking for the good boy, but without any luck. The g. b. knew his busitiess. MOTTLED GERMAN SCAP. BU [E BEST. Y THE BEST.
