The moon in her relations to terrestrial things
and persons has rather a doubtful reputation.
Her light and her influence on the tides are in
her favor, but she has been charged in the pop
ular belief of most countries with some serious
failings. The poets have generally been her
friends, and have paid her great many hand
some compliments, but even among them she is
the proverbial type of fickleness. Popular
superstitions attribute TO her a variety of
malign influences upon sublunary affairs
Farmers, not very many years ago, felt obliged
to consult her in regard to most of their opera
tons, lest, if they were begun at the wrong
time, she should cause their fences to sink into
the ground and decay, their crops to fail, and
their pork to shrink in the pot. The word luna
tic is perpetual memorial of the fact that she
was once considered the cause of mental diseases,
and their manifestations were formerly sup
posed, even by learned physicians, to be gov
erned by the moons phases. The psalmist
promises to the righteous, among other bless
ings, that the moon shall not smite him by
night, and the belief is prevalent in many coun-
tries, and is not unknown in this, that the beams
of the moon falling upon the face of a sleeper
cause insanity or blindness.
There are old and very generally exploded
superstitions, but physician in Oswego, New
York, makes a new charge against the moon.
He says that fish exposed to the light of the full
moon while drying become poisonous. He had
observed this phenomenon frequently in Scot
land and elsewhere, and had known numerous
instances of illness caused by eating such fish.
The sickness of family in Oswego, with
symptoms of violent poison, after eating cured
salmon trout, ELECTED this important informa-
ton from the doctor, who, on being called to
their relief pronounced their illness to be due
to the use of "moonstruck fish"

Some little time ago a few friends of the too
famous Mr.. William NJ. Tweed proposed to erect
a statue to commemorate his civic virtues
These virtues are remarkable, but they can be
very briefly enumerated. Mr.. Tweed, affection
ately styled by his admirers the "Boss," ten
years ago was an unknown man, ignorant as
he still is, without money, friends, or position.
He abandoned chair making, his former occupa-
ton, for politics, and is now the supreme ruler
of the city, and almost of the state, of New
York. is worth untold millions, has "palatial
residence" and a sumptuous stable where he
drinks punch on Sunday with his favored friends,
and can make the fortune of any man in the
city, at the expense of the taxpayers of course,
as he has made the fortunes of a great many
already. Such a man as this of course could
have spontaneous testimonial of the gratitude
and admiration of all his fellow citizens who
want offices or jobs, whenever he signifed his
desire for it, Such testimonials have generally
taken the form of costly services of silver or
gold plate, or other splendors of a similar kind.
but these had become common, almost vulgar.
Mr.. Tweed and his principal adherents had ex-
changed such gifts with each other until they
were thoroughly supplied statue, erected in
some conspicuous spot of the city which he
rules, would be a distinction worthy even of
Boss Tweeds ambition.
The project Of erecting statue was set on foot
by some of his closest political friends. 1t was
to cost thirty thousand dollars, and the public
were invited to contribute. The public, or that
large part of it that is dependent on Mr..
Tweed's bounty, was not backward, and the
needed amount would have been quickly raised,
But there are a few people in New York who
neither love nor fear this civic magnate, and
some OF the circulars soliciting subscriptions
came to their hands. They raised such storm
OF indignant ridicule that even Tweed, who is
not over sensitive, was abashed, and reluctantly
concluded that the scheme must be abandoned.
With admirable assurance he protested to have
then heard of it for the first time, although il
has been talked about for weeks, and the an.
parent originators of the movement were not
only his political followers, but his most
confidential friends. Mr.. Tweed bears his
disappointment like a man; to read his
letter, one could almost imagine him really de-
serving of the honor which he dislaims. The
self denial is greater in his case than it might
be in another, for he knows that only during
his life, while he could reward its authors,
could the idea of raising statue in his honor
be entertained. He insists that the movement
be at once stopped, because Statues are not
erected to living men, but to those who have
ended their careers" But he adds: 'There are
exceptional instances, in which important deeds
nave been thus commemorated." Taking adj
vantage Of this exception, why should not Mr..
Tweed have his statue2 He is certainly an ex.
eeptional phenomenon, and we hope win long
remain a singular, or, at least, rare specimen
of his kind.
