MILITAHT. THE LADIES’ FIRST UNION ASSOCIATION. This institution has espedal reference to • the or- Shans and widows of soldiers, and to disabled sol lets. Over three hundred families are in oharge of the members of the association, and supplies' of money and coal are given to them every week. The winter Is a pretty severe one, and its pferelng winds are more kesnly felt hy the poorer, classes. The work those ladles who formed the association have taken upon themselves is noble—lt la Christian— and therefore appeals to those feelings of affection that should always exist in the great human family. To assist the widows add the orphans of the brave T'nlon soldiers who hive, fallen npon the battle- Aeld, Should be considered a' religious duty. To neglect them is almost like giving aid and comfort to the arch enemy of mankind. In order to add funds to the treasury, the association have Impro vised an entertainment, to take place at Handel and Haydn Hall on next Monday evening, upon whioh occasion Mr. Enoch H.Supplee will deliver a lec ture on the subject of ‘f The Province of Poetry.” OUR QUOTA.

Appeal of the Female Association of Philadelphia for the relief of the sink and Infirm poor with oloth- object of this association Is to assist those who from sickness, infancy, or old age, are unable to provide for their own wants. The sufferings of this elass should touch the hearts Of the benevolent, as the .scanty increase of wages that these invalids and old people can obtain does not at all correspond to the greatly inoreased cost of the neeessartes of life. The members are required to visit those whose wants they relieve, and during the pastes inter 858 garments were distributed, with out distinction of sect or color. *848.79 or oar funds were expended In tne purchase of goods, and IULIo paid to poor-women for making them np.

SCHOOL FOB MAIMED SOLDIERS. A'large, Interesting,'and Influential meeting of ladies and gentlemen was held, last evening, in the hid Commissioners Hall, Moyamenslng, on Chris tian street, below Tenth,. The subject' which call ed so many people together is one worthy-of the deepest consideration that oould occupy the minds of the young American portion of the people. The project, was first started by the Bev. Mr. Long, army chaplain, who has traveled over Die country, end passed much of his time among the soldlersm damps. Chaß. E. Lexj Esq,, presided at the meet ing, and addresses were delivered by the Bev. Dr. Newton, Bev. Mr. Keever, the Bev. Phillips Brooks, and others. One of the gentlemen handsomely expressed the object-as follows: It Is said a three-strand cord cannot be easily broken, and this institution la bound together by the cord of hu manity, patriotism, ana religion. The object Is to educate maimed soldlerß in various pursuits which nature seems to point out. Tne school, of oonrse, is |n want of funds, and as the object Is most excellent, those of onr citizens who have any revenue to spare Should certainly give attention to this cause. The proceedings last evening were very Interesting; A number of patriotic and saored pieces of muslo were sung by several ladles and gentlemen. SKATING. The skating at all the parks yesterday was excel lent, and was largely taken advantage of. If the present mania for learning to skate continues, In the course of a year those who do not skate will be locked upon as very singular people. No one need lie ashamed to go to onr parks to learn this delight ful, health, invigorating art. There will always be found a large number who have put on skates for the first time,- and all are willing and ready to as sist learners. The experience of “ Brick Pomery” on the subjeot of skating and teaching his “ Miran da ” will probably be found idontioal with the expa yience of many of onr readers. It Is as follows: Our experience In the skating line has reoelved an additional hoist In the way of knowledge. Our Miranda wanted to learn to skate, and, being slight ly inclined to gallantry, of oonrse we could not deny the dear creature. So we proceeded to Jones’ hard ware store and purchased a pair of ladies’ skates: thence, with Miranda clinging lovingly npon the Sleeve of our beat coat, to thr smooth ice where mor tals were gliding around giddily and with great ve locity. Our Miranda seated herself on the cold crystal, and we, feeling humbled, knelt slowly, re verently before her* Then came a nervous time In deed. It is singular what difficulties are connected With the puttingon to a pair of pretty little feet a pair of skates. We lingeringly worked and tagged till finally the deed was accomplished. Miranda Scorning assistance, rose nimbly and sat down Spreadlngly. She gave us to understand that we must not throw her down .in that rude manner. We protested to the contrary, and the dispute soon ended In another trial, Miranda clung to us heavi ly and made so many bows, backward and forward, that we thought , the French dancing master had been around. Miranda finally struck out with one foot, and struck us with a hundred "or two live weight. She wished ns to stop onr fooling and not drag her down so mneh. Of course, we apologized and tried again. After a while Miranda went it alone, end, while making ond grand olrcla, she en thusiastically threw herself Into onr fatherly arms, With so much vehemence that we again threw her lair form on the bosom of the placid water} of course we fell, too, not wishing to be rude. We soon recovered from onr entanglement, and lgg&nm e »S aln - ; «n» with more suooess. headway, in a And again, bat W&galn equal to the occasion, and the “ tooken skin, sore bones, sorer heads, torn habill ments, and a desire to try again some future time, Miranda complained that the reason of her falls was occasioned by loose straps. Certainly we Dahtenod Said streps, took off and put on the slates. reverald them; lt »M such a pretty foot and laid so tempt lngly quiet In m,. . went made rosy cheeks and bright eyes.- This re- Jiaid us for all our hardships and tribulations, and f Miranda did spread out tremendously, and Insist that we were to blame, we forgave her, and that Is more than our “better half >’ has done yet. Young ladlps, who are making a first attempt, may expect to realize a difference between terra firma and terra loa, especially with bright steel run ners attached to their neat little baunorala. No matter how mneh difficulty yen meet; how often you sit gracefully down: on the dear crystal, how provoklnglryour skates will aot, hpw tired and sore you become, you will try again. “Julia Ann skates and I know I can,” so yon go, and with the aid of Ike you soon grow masterof the oooasion, and even scorn the assistance of the genus homo, man.

These-offensive men rode in a car on the Fifth and Sixth-street Passenger Railway to a distance up town {.then entered a car on the down trip on Sixth street. A white man paid their fare. The attention of the superintendent was called to the.faet, and it appear ing that the men were simple the instruments ia the hands of others to bring odium on the effort to allow respectable colored people to ride in the cars, the super intendent had them arrested. Lemuel Braddock. William Thornton, William Bearer, William fl. Knight, John Bevereaux, - Ferdinand Madeira. The magistrate did not know of any law the colored men had violated. They behaved themselves deco rously ;thelr clothing was more offensive than their per sons. . They were questioned by the magistrate as to what induced them to ride in the cars. They said that * Alderman William McMuUin, of the Fourth ward, had employed them to go to Fifth and Brown streets to bring down a box; that he gave them especial instruc tions to ride inside-or the cars; they went to Fifth and Brown streets, but could find nobox; they then went to Sixth and Brown streets, and got into another car to ride down t-a white man was sent to pay their fare.” The colored men Bald they weato-xa«h**-Y*AO TO -«w platform if th*y were to ride at aIL-as they knew they would be offensive to the passengers inside.

AoH-tuthscts THEi POLIOB. NEW TOBE MUBDBBOUB/WEAPON. Several New Xorkdetectfves were in Philadelphia on Sunday and yesterday, and last evening a person supposed to have committed a crime was taken oh to that cHy. -We learned from the officers that recently an English highway robber’s newly-invented instrument of death had made its appearance in Mew York - lII* one of the most daageroua weapons the infernal genius , of a criminal brain has invented. It is called the /sand club, 5 ’ and its use is almost certain to- produce death. It is mace of strong canvas, In the-shape of a dub. about twenty inches long, and from-six to eight inches- In- circumference. This bag or club is filled with closely packed fine sand, and weighs from five to ten pounds, and has great advantages over the ordinary club or bludgeon, brass knuckles or slung snot. It will not rebound after a blow is struck, and it leaves no mark oi braise. When the victim is struck on the top of the head, and there is where the-, sand dub' is directed, he instantly sinks to the 4 pavement without a struggle, the result of concus sion to the brain, and not even 5 a bruise, which any ordinary v blunt instrument makes, is to be disco vered on the scalp of the victim after.the sand club has performed its fearful mission. Afewof these instru ments have already been found in the possession of dee perate characters, and their, use and history confessed to the police. A victim of-one of these sand clubs might he found dead in the . street early in the morning, and no doubt the verdict of a coroner’s jury would be, ‘Hlause of death unknown. ” CBefore Mir.
