TO THE EDITOR. SIR, —Kindly inform me as to the meaning of an asterisk * after a paragraph in your newspaper. —I am, etc. INQUISITIVE. [According to Webster an asterisk among other things is “used .in printing .... to supply an omission.” We remember hearing of the same question being orally asked a Yankee editor, and all the consolation the questioner got when he complained to a friend of the mauling he received from the infuriated editor was, “ you were an ass-ter-isk-it.” — Ed. W.P.]
