THE San Francisco News Letter de-
scribes the newest discovery in natural
history, being an insect which has been
Christened without consulting the
scientist-or, as the News Letter calls
them, the "bug sharps"-a "man bug"
The description is as follows: "The
creature has a body of a dark green
color, notified with yellow or orange-col-
ored spots. This is about five inches
long by two and half broad, of a beetle
shape, and terminating at the head in a
pair of red and very vicious looking ewes
and two horny mandibles of like color
and decidedly snappish appearance.
1t has no appearance of wings. It's most
peculiar feature, however, is a single pair
of spidery legs attached to the lower end
of it's body. These are about twelve or
fourteen inches in length and singularly
resemble those of man in regard to the
number of joints and the fact that it
stands bolt upright on them The crea-
ture stands some foot and half high,
walks with long, crane-like stride, and
is like nothing 30 much as an immense
June bug on stills. Its only known food
is mice, and these, when introduced into
the large bird-cage that confines it, it
seizes with a sudden dash of its foot or
claw and dispatches voraciously." 1t
was found on the island of Iwiwau, some
sixty miles south of Steinberger's do

ReOrganizlng the United States Army.

The committee on military affairs of
the United States house agreed upon a
bill to TeOrganize the army, it being
Representative Banning's bill, with some
amendments, and ordered it to be re-
ported faverably to the house. 1t does
not reduce the present effective force of
the army, but reduces the number of in
fantry regiments from twenty-five to
twenty, ard the cavalry from ten to eight
thus reducing the number of infantry
officers fiftv-fve and of cavalry officers
fifteen, and increases the size of the COM
panies and regiments. It does away with
the regimental organization of the artil-
Ierv, reducing the field officers of artillery
seventeen. 1t consOiidates the quarter
master and cOmmissaTy departments into
one, designated as the department of sup
plies, making a large reduction of officers
1t provides for a board to examine Off
GERS and for the discharge of all worthless
and inefficient officers, and for an exam
iDatiOn of the condition of retired officers
All officers who lose their places under
the bill are placed upon a list of super
numeraTies, and are permitted to resign
with one years pay for each eight years
Of service. or remain in service to per
form such duty as they may be assigned to-.
It provides for the education of non
commissioned officers and soldiers by the
commissioned officers, and for the promo
tion of non commissioned officers to com
missiOned officers. 1t abOlishes the Office
Of Judge advocate, fixes the pay OF first
sergeants at $40 per month, makes the
headquarters of the general of the army
at Washington in time of peace, and pro-
vides that he may act as secretary OF war

II provides that suffers and post
traders shall be frs: elected by a council
of the administration, approved by the
department commander and the general

general officers, and requires the general
of the army to report reforms to Congress
annually, and to look to economy IN all
branches of the army. The bill is ap
proved by the testimony of many of the
officers of the army. 1t Is a reduction o
about two hundred officers, and proposes
reforms which, if adopted, will, Wash.

greatly to the efficiency of the army.

in a district IN Ayres, where the reading
OF a sermon is regarded as the greatest
fault of which the minister can be guilty.

STFrxBERGERs Disastrous FALL
The fall Of Stcinbcrger ought to be
warning to future adventures who may
dream of usurping a cannibal throne.
Thev must understand that leanness Is
the indispensable condition of safety.
II is generally known that not single
missionary has been eaten since Banting
published his famous instructions how
10 become thin. Had SteinbcTg0T
rrasped the meaning of this fact, and
kent himself down 10 the missionary
standard of weight, he would not have
tempted the samoan appetite, and he
might still be a de Jacto monarch.
Eternal emaciation Is tie price of power
among the cannibals, and the fate of
Steinberger, who slowly fattened 10 his
fall, shows that the tenderest feelings Of
the irman stomach can not be- SAFELY
outraged and dcied.

FiwIsII F'TTLATION OF THE UNITED
STATEs.-A Jewish paper published in
London says that Of the six million Jews
in the world. a quarter Of million are
to be sound in the United States. We
have no accurate figures Of recent date
to confirm or correct this estimate, a.
our decennial census returns give no dis
tinctive enumeration of Jews; but we
Judge from a number of facts before uE,
that the estimate of the London Jewish
paper il far too low Rabbi Gottheil,
who is well informed, and careful in his
language, says that the Jewish PoPuia--
tion of this city alone j. over 10000 and
the Jews are 10 bc counted by many
thousands in all our large cities IncIud-
ing New Orleans, San Francisco, Chica-
90. St. Louis and Cincinnati. There has
been a large immigration of Jews to the
United States from various countries OF
Europe during the last twenty years
and the prosperity they have enjoyed
has enlarged the current IN this direction
from wear to yPar.-Nc,r IoTE sun.

TIMELY TOPICS.

DIR. PRIME admits that comparatively
small proportion of clergymen's sons
become preachers, but Indignantly de-
MES the assertion that ministers sons
are the worst in the parish" q One prod
igal," he says, from the pastors own
fold makes more talk than ninety-and-
nine apostates from the rest of the
church."
IT is highly probable that the widow
of Alexander T. Stewart will be annoyed
and prosecuted beyond measure by beg
gars of various degrees, even now that
Judge Hilton is employed to assist her
in disbursing it. If she had retained the
whole she could not, during her life, give
away more than the merest fraction of
the interest Of her vast fortune If she
knew on whom to bestOw it, and Occu-
pied all her time in making small dona-
tiOns, she. could not give it all away
during her lifetime. Supposing her to be
worth $4,000, 900, and to disburse only
the interest, she could get rid of $4,000
a day, or 81 900 every working hour. In
other words, she could perpetually give
away SIG a minute for ten hours of every
working day and never touch the prin-
Cipal! If resolved to transfer to others
the entire fortune, it would take her a
ear if she counted out $3.50 a second.
