Nor TwEED's CONFESSION. The reported
confession of Tweed which was published by
the New York World few mornings since,
turns out to be the work of a clever Bohemian
named Don Cardan o Brian Bryant who also
wrote the Tweed romance which was published
in Harper's Weekly. He is relative of some
of the parties mixed up with the Tweed trans
action in some of its stages, and probably
knows as much of the secrets of the ring as
any man entirely outside of it. He has made
use OF all the current rumors and what facts
he was able to obtain from one source and
another and exercising his judgment as to
other matters, has succeeded in writing up
story which has had sufficient of truth in it to
make quite number of gentlemen anxious.
That Tweed bad anything to do with the story
is now generally discredted in New York A
large number of the men whose names were
connected by the Tweed romances with the
ring transactions have made emphatic denials.
Among this number is Recorder Hackett 1t
was asserted that the painting and library fur
nlture OF his house was paid for by the city in
connection with the ring contracts The
Recorder in card denies that such is the case,
and says that the only furniture he has in his
possession which belongs to the city is the
office furniture which the law provides he shall
have as Recorder, has held for years and will
turn over to his successor in Office

as day of Public Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer,
and recommend to the people of the State, the
observance of it in manner beftting the designa-
ton it bears, and in the spirit with which the custom
that ordains it was instituted.
The season when nature begins her new year, and
gives visible promise re-clothing the earth with the
beauty of her verdure and preparing the fruits and
harvest Of her constant bounty is most suggestive of
the renewal of hope, aspiration, and endavor in
the minds and hearts of men.
Let us obey the impulse of the opening year, and,
bowling in humility before Him who rules alike the
forces of Nature, and our human ways, form and
confirm every good purpose for the conduct of our
lives, and crave Gods blessing upon U.S. our State
and Country.

RELIGIOUS disputes have invaded the In
dian Empire, and the Hindoos and the Ma
hometans are now at loggerheads about the
celebration of one of their feasts. tone OF
the solemn festivals in honor OF certain god
dess, the Hindoos have habit of dis
guising themselves in different ways, COM
memorative of certain neurological or legend
ary events. This year the Mahometans adopt
ed the same practice, but the innovation was
taken as an insult by the H:ndoos who
thought that their religious rites were being
travestied. They fancied that the Mahometap MS
were adopting their costumes in mockery o.
their religion. The English authorities in
terfered to prevent the innovation, but the
Mahometans revolted, and petitioned for the
right to make such changes in their religious
rites as were deemed to be in accordance with
the progress Of the age.

The "Two Orphans" has been so singular
ly unlucky since its translation into Euglsh,
that it would be interesting to know its pre-
vlors history, to see if a similar streak of ill
fortune went through its representations in
France. Hardly had it appeared on Ameri-
can boards when it gave rise to long and ex-
pensive law suit. 1t was being played in
Brooklyn at the great theater fire, and dur
ing its representation in Washington there
was serious panic. In Buff alo, week before
last, the Academy of Music took fire while
the "Two Orphans" was on the stage, and in
st. Louis the catastrophe and marvellous es'
cape of the leading lady need no recapitula-
tlon.

Wade HamptOn's Course.

The course which Wade Hampton has TAX
en- in South Carolina is such as to justify the
suspicious entertained by those who stoutly
supported Chamberlain and to awaken dis
trust in the minds of those who so readily
accepted his assurances. His attempt to
eject the Republican state officers and put
in their places the Democratic candidates
has much the appearance of bad faith. These
officers, with two exceptions, had majorities
by the same count, that on the face of the
returns, which gave Hampton his majority
and which was recognized by the supreme
court. 1t is true their election is contested
but that question is now before the courts
and until a decision is rendered against them
they are to be considered in rightful possess
ion. They have prina fdcie right at
least, and their contestants have not even
that yet. But no attention has been paid by
Hampton to the fact that the Republicans
are the legal holders of the Offices until the
Democratic claimants acquire a valid title.
He has called upon them to deliver up their
trusts. His first demand was accompanied
by threat to eject them in event Of refusal.
Subsequent consideration has induced him to
withdraw the threat, but he has, pending the
controversy in the courts, sealed up the
rooms they have occupied, and denied them
access. His second thought is better than
the first, but his action cannot escape the
imputation of bad faith.
The Republican titles fhay be successfully
impugned, though it is not easy to see how.
But pending the controversy the duties Of the
offices must be discharged by somebody.
Some one for example must act as state treas
urer. Cardozo has 2OS majority by the same
count from which Hampton derives his title.
Yet Cardozo is not permitted to act as treas
urer. and his Democratic opponent, commits
stoned by Hampton, is dischargng the duties
of the position. Cardozo's title may be in
doubt, but his contestant has as yet no title
at all, no shadow of right to act as treasurer.
The course Hampton has pursued is to be
deeply regretted. 1t goes far to confirm the
distrust which has been entertained of him
by many, and to arouse the suspicion of those
who had confidence that he would be true to
his pledges. The President certainly has rea-
son to complain that the trust he reposed in
Hampton has been violated, and that his
confidence in the professions made by the
Southern leaders has been shamefully abused.

AN amusing wedding incident recently oc-
Cured at Stoke Church, England. The Rev.
J. Hector de Courcelles officiated, and when
he asked for the ring it was missing. The
bridegroom declared that.the bride had it;
the bride said to the contrary. The service
was stopped; both turned out their pockets
And meanwhile the bridegroom rated tn e
bride somewhat soundly for her alleged care
lessness, while the bride persisted that she
had given the ring previously to the bride
groom, and that he must have lost it. Mr.
De Courcelles had no ring On, nor had any
one in:the church, and bride and bridegroom
departed to the church porch-the one
grumblng and:the other scolding-to look for
the missing link. At length it struck the
clerk that a small ring attached to his watch
guard, on which hung locket, might be de.
tached and lent for the occasion. 1t was very
small, but it just went on the orthodox finger
and the clergyman therefore returned to the
altar, and the two were made man and wife.
Directly they were married, however, the
railing began again, and continued un-
til the ring was found in the bowl of a pipe
that was in the mans pocket.

THE NOVEMBER MErEoRIo ExHrnt
TIoN.-Just about this time there 10 due
the full and brilliant November meteoriC
showers, which annually encounter The
earth. They constitute a separate and
distinct phenomenon, and are entirely
distinct from the luminous displays that
give life and motion in the calm realms Of
night in the month Of August. The No.
yember meteors are always looked for
with the greatest interest. Up TO ten
years ago many astronomers found con-
siderable difficulty, or failed altogether,
in forming an estimate Of the cirCum.
stances under which they became Wis.
ible to US. II was observed that
the lines Of all the ineteors, II
traced back, converged in one quarter Of
the heavens, and this point accompanied
the shooting starS in their apparent mo.
ton westward, instead OF moving with
the earth toward the east. The source
from whence The meteors came was thus
shown to be independent Of the carth's
rotation and exterior to our atmosphere.
Some uncertainty naturally rests upon
the dates and durations Of meteoric
showers, but they have rarely failed to
put in nm appearance in some quarter Of
the earth ut this time.
