it It was easy enough to discover that
tlio custom nnU)datoA the recollection of
tlio oldest inhabitant, and as in tlio olden
days thero woro no society rejiortera, no
historians of tlio drawing room, tlio
early history of tho Wlilto llouso Now
Years must, no doubt, remain forovor
in 8OU10 mystery. As good mi author
ity as can bo found on this point
Bays tlio flrst New Year's reception
at tho Whito Houso was given by
Madison in 1810, Madison having caught
tlio ide(i from tho customs of tho eltto of
UoW York, among whom ho mingled
wlillo tho seat of government was nt that
city. Washington Irving confirms this
-ijy describing his, call nt tho execu
tive mansion New Year's, 1811, ho saying
of Mrs. Madison in bis lively way: "A
flno, portly, buxom damo sho is, who has
a smllo and a pleasant word for every
body. Her sisters, Mrs. Cutts and Mrs.
"Washington, aro llko tlio Merry Wives of
Windsor; but us to Jemmy Madison, aht
poor Jemmy I ho Is but a withered lltUo
Apple-John." It is certain that tho Now
Year's reception was continued by Mon
roe throughout his administration, which
good authorities liavo declared to mark
tho period of tho most highly cultured
and most distlngulsod society tn Wash
ington. But those wero not publio re
ceptions, Thoy woro moroly for tho
Sntry, and invitations wero issued. In
1824 tho first publio rccoption was held,
. and in tho old National Intelligencer of
noxt morning was published congratula
tions to tho publio on Its good behavior.
Probably tlio custom of making Now
Year calls grow out of tho affairs at tlio
Whito House. Tho first privato houso in
Washington thrown open for tho recep
tion ,of visitors ou Now Year's was tho
Taylor iiuuibJou, which still standa,
now occupied by Senator Don Cameron.
That was in 1830, and hero tho members
of tho diplomatic corps had a habit of
presenting themsolves after their formal
call on tho president, all arrayed in court
dresses and accompanied by their secre
taries and attaches, which wcro fully as
numerous, in tlioso days as In this, though
I doubt if as many of tlio diplomatic
"cube" wero sons or othor relatives of
tho ministers and ambassadors as wo find
at tho present time. While Dolly Madi
son still lived in that famous old houso
just around tho corner from Don Came
ron's mansion, tho diplomatic corps and
other society leadora used to pay hor tho
bandsomo compliment of proceeding In
a body from tho Whito Houso to her
parlors to wish her many returns of tho'
day. An old lady who remombors Mrs.
Madison qulto well tells mo that favorito
of all White Houso favorites was a good
dial su'ehn vldiaaxr m Mrs. Logan a
woman of plenty of heart and slnccf ity
all frankness and tcrtaerndss, and y$
with' Iota of tact and nTsplendld memory
for faces and names. This old lady also
remembers that forty years ago it was
tho custom of tho society ladies to mako
of tho Now Year's reception at tho Whito
House an occasion for tlio display of
their new gowns and bonnets and othor
winter finery, just as Eastor Sunday Is
now tho recognised occasion for tho dis
play of spring bonnets.
As ono looks at tho well dressed and
troll bred crowds of peoplo oven tho
humblest mombcrs of tho groat publio
looking well and acting well at tho
modern Now Year's rccoption, ho is
led to tho thought that our soci
ety is growing better in form and
substance, notwithstanding tho criticisms
of somo moralists and would bo reform
ers. I fancy that in manners tho pooplo
who mako up tho throngs nt tho capital
aro now much of an improvement on
thoso of Jackson's time. At any rnto, it
would bo almost impossible now to dupli
cate a 5oeno which living eyo .witnesses
vouch for as having been enacted at tho
"Whito Houso when Old Hickory first
camo to power. So great was tho curiosi
ty of tho pooplo to soo tho now prcsldont
that thoy climbed on tho flno damask
covered chairs In tliQ cast room with
their boota all covered, with tho rod clay
of Maryland and Virginia. On tlio samo
New Year's day the frieuds and admirers
of Jackson dnnk several barrels of
Wbtte House punch, aad made tho his
terk haUs ring with their shouts of glee.
On nuothor occasion thoy nto up n whole
oheoso which a Now York dairyman hail
sont tho prcsldont, nnd which ho had or
dered cut Into pound pieces for tho en
tertainment of his callers. Not only did
tho crowd gorgo Itoolf with cheese, but
it trampled what it didn't cat into tho
carpets of tho cast room, filling tlio
mansion with a cheeso factory flavor.
which did not como out of it, 'tis said,
for soveral weeks.
Sixty yearn ago Christmas was oven
more of a holiday at tho national capital
than It ts now. Almost every houso in
Washington, whether occupied by rich
or poor, set up is big punch howl, and it
was much easier to got drunk than to stay
sober, and fully as resectable. At that
timo "Danlol Webster punch," so called,
was tho groat favorito, and was ovory
whoro nerved from antique silver punch
bowls. Nearly all publio men wero
drinking men then, and from Christmas
till after Now Year's It was impoHsiblo
to get n quorum of sober men in tho
houso of representatives. Now, I verily
bollovo, n largo majority of tho members
of that body do not drink nt nil, oven on
Christmas, lot nlono getting their states
men's skins so full that thoy could not
lit upright in tholr chairs, A half cen
tury ago tho holidays woro celebrated in
Washington In a rollicking, rosy fashion.
Hands of young colored men pnraUcd tho
streets singing mid shouting, and in tho
great ilroplaoos, whoso chlmnoyHouo may
ttlll see by tho dozen in tho older parts of
tho town, burned tho huge Yulo logs. I
am constrained to think that tho peoplo
havo been growing in sobriety and re
finement over since tho days of Jackson.
Certainly an incident llko that of tho
cheeso would now bo Impossible That
such nu incident occurred in Jnokson's
day was not so mtioh tho fault of Jack
son as of tho icoplQ.
Without doubt tho society of tho cap
ital was deteriorated by tho war and by
tho conditions which grow out of that
tremendous demoralizing agency. Ono
of tho phases of tlio "gilded era" of tlio
war mid tho flush times immediately
following was tho desire of everybody to
got Into society. Pretty much every
body did manage to get In. Camp fol
lowers, sutlers, army contractors, tho
numerous persons who had grown sud
denly rich by lucky speculations or by
tho rlso of values, each nnd sovoral want
ed to shino in tho social firmament.
Many of theso shoddy magnates spent
monoy lavishly, nnd it was in that era
that Washington broko away from tho
simple means of dissipation which had
boon BauoUoncd uynho bon vivauts of
nearly a century. Plain, good whisky
would never do for thoso nowly rich per
sons and their sycophant, nor was tlio
mutton mid fish nnd oysters which Clay
mid Webster and Jackson liad feasted on
sufficiently luxurious for tholr tastes, It
was then that tlio ohampagno and terra
pin season set In, and, as a result, chain
pagno and terrapin havo been tho gas
tronomic models of swelldom over since
As for tho terrapin, (hat has becomo, in
f net, a fad. It is liked simply because it
Is expensive. If tho Uttlo turtlo cost a
nlokol Instead of f3 apiece no ono could
bo found to tako a mouthful of 'lilm.
Terrapin is an acquired taste, nnd though
it was served at many n Now Year lun
cheon yesterday, as it will before spring
bo served at countless dinners in this city
of dining, not ono man in ten who par
takes of It and protends to llko It really
does liko it,
Tho war nnd reconstruction era gavo
us that shoddy sort of aristocracy which
depended so much on tho cost of enter
tainments, of houses mid equipages.
Mrs. Hayes helped society to get away
from the ovil influences of that era, not
bo much by her temporanco resolutions
as by tho admlrablo examplo which sho
set in othor ways. Year by year bIiico
her day tho society of tho capital has
been growing better, and in this city,
whoro almost overybody forty or fifty
years ago was mora or less Intoxicated
on Now Year's day, a drunken man was
yesterday an object of curiosity on tho
streets.
In ono important particular tho official
society of tho capital has not been much
changed in liulf a century. It is still as
cosy to get into society hero official bo
cloty, mind you as it Is to got into a
political or marching club during a pres
idential campaign. All you need Is tho
regalia and to havo your nauio printed
on a packago of calling cards. As a mat
ter of fact, tho official society of Wash
ington is a species of political campaign
ing. Iu order to keep in tho good graces
of tho publio tho wives of cabinet minis
ters and other members of the govern
ment throw open their doors. No ono is
denied admittance, no ono is treated as
less than equal. Every precaution is
taken against offending even tho hum-

As I saw tho president and tho ladles of

BpccliU Oorrmpondcnco.
Nhw Yohk, Jan. 2. The plumbers of
tho apartment houso districts havo
yielded tho palm to tho furniture mov
ers, I would rather bo a ftirnituro
mover, with a lieu ou tho patronago of
nny two west sldo strocts between Fifty
third nnd Sixty-fourth, than proprietor
of n summer resort hotel. It Is tho sur
est and safest cash business in tlio world.
I havo seen ono of theso modern pluto
crats paid $3 twlco iu two months for
moving $-1 worth of furniture ono block
and seven pairs of stairs. That Is, tho
furnlturo would not soli for 1 after tho
second moving. And every day in tlio
year this mover is busy from morning
till night nt tho samo rates. His big
covered vans outnumber two to ono on
any day in tho week all tho milk
and grocery wagons that frequent the
uoighlorhood. It is.safo to say that thero
nro families In at least threoof tho streets
In tho territory named who havo the full
bcnoflt of their household effect a less
than nine-tenths of the timo, for thoy
movo regularly onco a month, and at tho
lowest ostlmato tho tearing up, tho mov
ing and tho bringing of order out of
chaos again consumes four days mid as
many nights. Tlio subject Is tho more
bewildering In that tlio closest Inquiry
falls to discover tho ghost of n reason
why theso families should movo nt nil.
Thero is Jones, for instance. During
tho last year Jones nnd his family havo
dovoted ono-tenrh of their timo to
vibrating between Sixty-second nnd
Sixty-third streets. If Jones kept n
diary which, between tho tearing up
and laying down of carpets, ho has not
timo to do It would read liko tills:
Jan. 01. Moved ono block from third
floor four room apartment to fifth iloor
six room fiat. Bought now; carpets and
parlor sot. Smashed pier glass bad

Fob. 28. Moved back to four room
apartment. Gavo away carpet smash

March 01. Moved nround tho corner
to eight room flat whoro Mrs. J. can
keep two lodgers who will pay all tho
rent and Installments on now furniture.
Then fell down stairs with woshtub full
of china aud charged extra for samo
colds still growing worso thank good

six room flaj. Lodgers swindjcjrs fur

getting very shafJby rheumatism
1 II This is tlio last timol
Etc., etc., with variations throughout
tho remaining months of tho year.
But tho strangest, most inoxplicablo
featuro of tho problem is that tho mov
ers aro not satisfied. I thought it would
bo a meritorious net, ono to bo proud of
in after years, to probo through this
dissatisfaction, impale tho griovanco
and hold it up to publio sympathy. To
tills end, I devoted an cntlro day to
viowing tho subject from tho standpoint
of Muggins & Sou, who Movo Household
Goods witli Infelligonco and Care.
Muggins & Son havo two vans. Mug
gins drives ono mid Son drives tho other.
At Bunriso Muggins set out, with Ids
helper, to movo tho Jenkinses back into
tho Slocums' Sixty-second street flat,
while nt tho samo hour Son .uid his
holpcr started forth to movo tho Slocums
back into tho Jenkinses' Sixty-third
Btrcot flat. Muggins & Son wcro in n
lively mood, and having each taken an
inaugural sip from two small, dark col
ored bottles kopt under tho horso blank
ets on tho van Beats, thoy separated jovi
ally, with tho remark and responso:
"Now, Jack, hero goes for tho regular
monthly strugglo with tho Jenkinses' ox
tension tnblo."
"All right, pop, and hero goes for tho
regular monthly wrestlo with tho Slo
cums' rattan baby.crib hoop lal"
Tho fortunes of Muggins and tho Jen
kinses' extension tablo wero varied and
impressive. Tho six legs of that cele
brated pleco of furnlturo had not grown
a hair's breadth shorter during tho last
thirty days, and tho lynx oyed landlady
was on hand as usual to boo that no paint
was knocked off tho door jambs.
"Bo careful nnd not scratch tho top,"
sold Mrs. Jenkins.
"Look outl Don't break tho legs,"
yelled Mr. Jenkins.
"Stop! Stopl You'ro marring tho
paintr screamed tho landlady.
Muggins sat down on tho carpet and
scratched his head. Tho door of tlio pf l
vato hall was an Inch and a half nar
rower than tho other doors, and thero
Muggins, his helper and tlio tablo Btuck.
"If I kriow how tho blasted thing camo
in," said Muggins, "I'd got it out if it
took a leg."
"Not a tablo log," said Mrs. Jenkins,
warningly.
"No," said Muggins; "ono of mlno or
Poto's. Anything thot will como in
through a door will go out through tho
samo door. But how did tho Infernal
thing got in? That's tho question."
"You ought to know," said Jenkins,
"You brought it in yourself a month ago
for three dollars, and now you'ro charg
ing mo four to tako it out. It will pay
you to keep a note of such cases for fu
ture reference."
"Stupid!" ojioulatcd Mrs. Jenkins.
"By your ow confession you nro tlio
man it would pay to keep bucIi notes."
Thoy stood tho tablo on Its side. Thoy
stood it ou its end. Thoy pulled it out
to its full length and got ono pair of legs
through. But tho middle pair stuck fast
and tho others poked themselves through
tho kitchen door and hooked on to tho
jamb with a grip of death. After half
on hour of general perspiration nnd pro
fanity, tho table's protect against being
moved weakened enough to eilablo Mug
gins to break its grip on tho kitchen door
post
"Now, Pete," said Muggins to his help
er, "shut her up."
Pete shut her up with such good will
that two of Jenkins' flngcrsaro In mourn
ing for tho other threo to this day.
But still tlioso middlo legs stuck,
"Ahl" said Muggins, "I've mi Idea,
Wo took tho door o(T Its hinges."
This was no easy task, for tlio hinges
wero rusty. When at last tho door camo
r(T, I'eto had a black ovo nnd thero wns
no nail on Muggins' left thumb. Still
tlio tnblo stuck. Suddenly Mrs. Jenkins
had an inspiration.
"Why, how stupid," sho said; "why
don't you tako off the castors?"
"Hoopla!" said Muggins, excitedly,
forgetting to nursa his nalllcss thumb:
"w'y that's tho way wo got her In!"
"You had better remember it," re
marked Jenkins in tlio bitter tones of a
smashed fingered man whoso wifo is
nllllcted with tho moving mania; "you
had bettor remember It, for we'll bo
moving back hero this timo next
month."
Meantlmo iiow fared It with Jack nnd
tho Slocums' rattan baby crib? Words
found in tho dictionary nro not cut by
tho smno pattern ns tlioso used by tho ju
nior member of Muggins & Son in rclnt
Ing tho various incidents of that mem
orable occasion. It should first bo un
derstood that rattan baby cribs weio not
Invented for tho use of infants who live
in flats. But thoy nover wear out, and
it is lmposslblo to smash them; and It is
n curious fact that when tho family that
has "soon hotter days comes down to flat
oxlstenco (how singularly happy is tho
eplthotI)tho rattan baby's crib invariably
comes down also. Such wcro tho ante
cedents of tho Slocums and their rattan
crib. This crib had, llko wlno, whisky
or n violin, impiovcd vastly with ago.
When it was now it Is possiblo
that n leg might, with pntienco and
great muscular exertion, havo been
twisted off. But at tho timo of tho
Slocums' last moving nothing short of a
meat ax or a buzz saw would havo mado
tho slightest impression ou it. Tlio crib
bottom, top, sides, ends, legs aud braces
had been constructed by Its mis
chioviously Ingenious inventor out of ono'
pleco of rattan, which ho wound In and
out, tucked through tho loops, wovo Into
watertight meshes, finally doing with its
last end what ho did nt tho beginning
with Its first end, secreted It beyond nil
Iioik) of discovery without sujicrnntural
aid. If ono of tlioso ends could havo
been found a leg might havo been un
raveled and tho Slocums and their regu
lar monthly mover spared a great deal of
troublo; but as tho crib existed, and
doubtless exists to this day, It is safer
from harm than tho contents of a chilled
steel Bafo with tho combination forgot
ten. Twlco tho Slocums' rattan crib had
fallen off tho front end of Muggins' van
nnd been run over by two wheels of
tho ponderous vehicle. Muggins had
breathed easicrjintil ho found that tho
crib, far from being injured, was more
elastic and tenacious of its perennial
symmetry than ovor.
As ho expected, Jack found tho Slo
cums' rattan crib two sizes too big for
every door in tho flat Ho suspended
his exertions looking to tlio twisting off
of tho crib's right hind leg, and wiped
iho perspiration from his brow.
"If I know how tho darned thing got
In hero," ho Bald, "I'd"
"I don't bco why you shouldn't," inter
rupted Slocum, consulting a memoran
dum book mid reading therefrom: "Sept
00 moved by Muggins & Son four dol
lars samo old difficulty with tho rattan
crib."
"Oh, yes, I remember now," said Jack
to his helper, "wo took all tho doors off."
Thoy took all tho doors off.
Tho rattan crib seemed to havo ex
panded another inch out of puro malico.
Muggins arrived with tho first load of
tho Jenkinses' effects, including tho ox
tension tablo, nnd still tho rattan crib
showed no signs of yielding. Muggins
& Son wero losing monoy.
"Why don't you knock off a pair of
her infernal legs?" said tho senior part
ner, wrathfully.
"Try it, pop," replied tho junior part
ner; "after you'vo tried it for a couplo
of hours you will bo a good deal sadder
aud wiser than you aro now."
Nevertheless Muggins tried it, and tho
heartless Slocums stood by and jeered.
Finally, in desperation, Muggins bor
rowed all tho clothes linos iu the build
ing, tied them together, and lowered tho
Slocums' rattan baby crib out of tho
front parlor window. Ho took a mover's
delight in lotting tho crib fall tho last
four stories, but it wasn't injured in tho
least
When Muggins & Son met for lunch,
tho Jenkins mid Slocum jobs being fin
ished, thoy wcro not nearly as blltho aud
gay as thoy had been in tho morning.
Tho two small, dark colored bottles kopt
under tho horso blankets In tho van scats
woroompty. So scorned tho future to
Muggins & Son, as ono put a fresh rag
on his thumb aud tho other examined a
too on which a truukf ul of books had
fallen.
"S'poso you got somo more orders?"
said Muggins to tho junior partnor.
"Yea, pop. Tho nigginses at 0 o'clock,
Fifth-ninth to Sixth-first.
"How much?" demanded Muggins,
with a quaver of surpriso in his voice
"Four and a half, pop. It's a Why,
pop, you don't say"
Muggins had received tho intelligence
that tho Higgiusea wero to bo moved for
$1.00 with such evidences of despair as
could havo but ono meaning.
"I do say, my son, that you'ro gottin'
to bo a bigger ass every day of your llfo.
Didn't wo movo tho Higglnsea two
months ago? And didn't thoy havo ono
extension tablo and two rattun baby
cribs?"
Still thoro aro a great many pooplo in
apartmont houso districts who aro of tho
opinion that it is much more profitable
mid pleasant to movo than to bo moved.
