Since electric lights were introduced
in Georgia large gray bugs have become
common. They are called electric bugs.
The other evening John Mclaughlin of
Savannah was sitting by an open win
dow, and one of these bugs about two
inches long flew in and, striking the wall,
fell TO the floor. Mclaughlin picked it
up to throw it out of the window and the
bug sank its claws into his hand. He
said the sensation was as though several
fish hooks were being pulled through the
arm. Immediately his hand began to
swell, and small pmples appeared on his
hand, arm and face within twenty four
hours. For over q week his hand aud
arm were very sore, and at one time the
case looked dangerous.

treated by their husbands more cruelty
than slaves, and doubtless this is the
cause Of the crime.

JOHN JACOB ASTOR.
AS BE Appears Among BIS Less Fortunate
FeLow-Mortals.

No figure is more familiar on Broad
way than that of John Jacob Astor.
Stripped Of his wealth, an ordinary
factor in affairs, his personality would
attract attention. He stands tall, COM
maading IN figure, portly-looking,
rather like prosperous English manu-
facturer than anythiog else. BE walks
with a steady, sturdy, self-possessed
manner, is recognized by hundreds
every day, interchanges courteous rec
ognition with all he knows in a gra-
cious and comradic manDec, covers
ing freely, pleasantly and with an
utter absence OF ceremony or pretense,
and is open in no single direction, that
I ever heard of, to the charge OF purse
pride or self-conceit. The story Of the
Astors is trite and familiar.
There are just SO many lots on Man
haitian Island, and the man who had
pre-science sufficient to understand
that, sooner or later, every lot would be
occupied, and that great physical en-
barrassment would comfort people then
living, and had pluck and courage
enough to indorse his conviction by
his action, was obviously on the high
road to unbounded prosperity. That
man was John Jacob Astor, .sr. He
impressed upon his sons the necessity,
as well as the desirability, Of adhering
to programme once laid down. Hold
ing on with virile tenacity to property
then owned, rarely if ever parting with
any, constantly adding to its area, the
Astors have. by normal growth of pro-
perty values, become the wealthiest
family in the country. AS 60 The ren.
tails Of the Astors, of necessity follow
the rentals Of every other landlord in
the city. A fortunate man is tho pres
ent John Jacob Asto-. Born to an
Inheritance, the hither verge Of which

The Longest Question on Record.

In the case Of Mrs. Myers, on trial at
Morrisville, Madison County, N. Y,
for the murder CT her child, DR.. R. E.
Sutton, of Rome, one Of the Trustees of
the Utica Lunatic, Asylum, testified
that he examined Mrs. Myers January
10, 1888, and found her insane, and that
she had not improved since then. DR..
Mcdonald, superintendent Of the
Asylum for Criminal Insane at Auburn,
corroborated the testimony of DR.. SUIT
ton. The case will consume several
days of next week. Judge Forbes, who
presides at the trial, said that the hypo-
thetical question put by the defense to
the expert witnesses on insanity was
the longest known in the courts Of this
country. 1t covered twenty type-wiit-
ten pages of legal cap.

Tours Truly"
From the Boston Globe. I

The New York World finds, from an
examination of the letters written by
many celebrated women that "sincere-
ly" is the word most commonly pre-
ceding the signature, but ''cordially''
comes in a good second. The letters
examined include those written by Mrs.
Grover Cleveland, Mrs. Levi P. Morton,
Miss Cleveland, Mrs. W. C. Whitney,
Mrs. W. M. Evarts, Mrs. J. G.. Carlisle,
Mrs. F. D. Grant and Mrs. ia. Chan-
Ter (Amelie Rives.) -
''Yours sincerely" "Cordially yours u
"Yours truly" every truly yours" !"
and their equivalents prefxed to the
signiture of a letter are among the
social conventionalities which have
lost whatever meaning they might once
have had. "Yours truly" for example,
was once perhaps meant to conveyj just
what the words literally indicate, viz,
that the writer regarded himself as
truly the slave or property of the per-
son addressed: as who should say, II
am truly yours-your property, to use
as you like" If the phrase was ever
literally used it soon became a mere
extravaganza of words-what in mod
ern slang we should call "gush," and
from that it became what it is now, a
mere meaningless formality, the very
least that politeness requires at the end
of even the most formal business letter.
There are thousand little customs of
daily life and institutions of business
and politics, too, that are as obligatory
as ':Yours truly" or its equivalents,
but from which the light of rational
meaning has long since gone out. We
laugh at the Chinese for continuing the
practice of absurd superstitions which
long ago lost their meaning just be-
cause their ancestors practiced them,
butwe enlightened Americans do much
the same thing. All mankind is a
brotherhood, and we resemble our
brethren across the Pacific in other
things than our high tariff.

posed depositors and trustees to con-
slider the quality and kinds Of invest
ment. # the credit Of the town, State
or city in which the bank was to be es'
tablished were bad, then the public Sc
curities of that neighborhood could not

We may also observe that each OF

This tends again towards good citizen
ship. Banks are made use of by per
sons of every sect, color and condition;
no discrimination can be made; all
alike have common interest and a
common benefit to be secured; in other
words, the savings banks of this section
are but an evidence of the way in which
local sef-government has heen estab-
lished and maintained. Home rule in
the strictest sense finds its best express
sion in the trust reposed in and de-
served by great numbers Of the citizens
of this and other States who have taken
their turn in the management Of saw
ings banks, irrespective of creed or of
politics. I know Of no standard by
which the intelligence and the integri-
ty of a community can be SO surely
measured as by the freedom of the peo-
pie from prejudice against banks and
bankers, and the support which they
give to thesystem OF savings banks.
If banks and bankers are not con-
sidered benefit to the community
which they serve and from whom they
derive their profits, then that commu-
nifty must be ignorant and correspond
