BOSS TWEED,
Boss (Uweed’s original confession has |
| been published at last. It occupies nine een columns of the Herald, and describes minutely how the tax-payers of New York were robbed of millions of dollars. Tweed
ferred various pieces of property to parties,
and also destroyed nearly all his memor- anda of accounts, bank books, stocks and other evidences of the ring transactions. These were burned in Tweed’s office by himself, assisted by his son and others, A few papers, it the time unaccessible, were the only ones preserved, ‘Tweed gives aschedule of real estate purchased by him since 1875, which coat $4,473_000, and realized but $1.237.470 in December, 1872» This (weed’s’ son Richard, to enable him to qualify as the formers bondsman, Since that time it has been sold. Comparatively a small amount has been received by Tweed. ‘Tweed says his personal property never exceeded his floating obligations He lost $600,000 in the Metropotitin Hotel: has paid $200.40 tu counsel, be sides $120,000 for trial expenses. The list of cheques annexed is very long, including many prominent names. l'weeds sup plementary statemeni gives his connection with the Erie Railway Company. Fisk ana
tion funds when requested. [weed says John Dutcher, formerly 4 Senator, pad him to espouse the side of the New Ycrk Central Railway, and authorized him to purchase the votes of Nenators. weed coolly narrates his transactions with the politicians, how he bought up Republican: and Democrats alike, iavishing hundreds of thousands of dollars on corrupt legislators, and securing the passage of whatever measures he desired. ‘The New York papers already crowded with denials from persons named by Tweed as implicated in the frauds.
SUPERSTITIONS IN REGARD TO THE MOON.
Uhe Tyrolese cure freckles by washing them with water in which the moon shines. In the Harz Mountains and Silesia, the re« medy for goitres is to turn one’s face to the increasing moon three evenings ruan-~ ning, then take a stone, silently touch the swelling with it. and throw it over the left shou'der. Meir quotes a Swabian charm for toothache. When the ¢rescent moon reappears for the first time the suf- ferer must gaza steadfastly and repeat thrice: “‘I see the moon with two points; my teeth shall neither shoot nor ache un- ti! | see the moon with three points.” Crabs caught during fali moon, and then burned alive and ground to powder, cure hydrophobia. (f course, the moon neces« | sarily assists at all dgeds af soroery, such }as casting magic bullets, the manufacture ‘(ofadivining rod and the like. The fol. ; lowing receipt for avenging one’s self on One’s enemies is given by Kuhn in West-
phalia; * When the new moon falls on a | Tuesday, go out before daybreak toa stale ; Selected beforeband, turn to the eaet and say, ‘Stick, | grasp thee in the name of |the Trinity.’ Take thy knife and say, |‘ Stick, J cut thee in the name of Trinity.
