''Blaine has outlined an American policy

The Columbia street.raiiroad.

TO The Edit0r Of The Ereaiaq Critic.
Your notice Of the Columbia street-railroai
Is timely. The way IN which the road is man
aged is a nuisance. The ears are run at such
long intervals that unless one happens 10 hi
one he had better walk. When they do come
along they are, nine times out OF ten, SO
crowded That you have 10 stand up and be
Iammed andscrowdedand be compelled 10 pass
up fares and get change and act as conductor
The travel ON this road would Justify one-thirt
more cars run at greater rate OF speed-and
especially better and more cleanly cars. L
that were done people who now walk would
then ride, and the revenues OF the road w0ulC
be increased more than enough to meet the IN
creased expense. The public deserves thi
much at their hands

THE river front improvement is ques-
tion of grave Importance that demands and
should receive immediate attention. Sur
veys and reports have been made by emi-
nent engineers, but as each e. c. differs from
every other e. e., it cannot be said that
these surveys and reports throw much
light upon the subject matter. In fact,
THE CRITIC has not much faith in c. G.,
hut it has a great reliance in common sense.
If good, plain common sense can be brought
to bear on the various reports of the emil
nent engineers and the non-practicaI be
eliminated therefrom, while the experience
of other cities, similarly situated, is used to
protect us from errors committed, a plan
may be found by which the river front can
be reclaimed from its present condition as a
death.dealing morass, and made to assist
in the adornment and Identification of the
city it is now helping to destroy.

SENATOR INGALLS, evidently committed
an objectionable sin in failing to consult
the EreniRg star before he ventured to ex-
press an opinion as TO the Congressional
Library building. What the star don't
know about a library building could easily
be put in all out DOORS, and what it
does know would find ample space in the
eye ola midget without injuring it, The
star will probably know before the subject
is concluded.

The RAPID AND decisive progress of the
kindred measures for the reconstruction of
the Navy and the resurrection of our mer-
chant marine through the preliminary
stages Of legislation, has aroused the atten-
tion of the British Government. At re-
cent session Of the House of Commons the
Parliamentary spokesman for the Ad-
miralty, Mr.. Treyelyan, saw fit to adrhonish
his hearers that The maritime supremacy
Of Britain is not to be challenged by France
alone in the future, for the President of the
United states has asked Congress for a
. liberal grant uherewith to lay the founda-
tions Of new nd formidable navy" Aud
one of the nautical periodicals of London
sounds a corresponding alarm as regards
the merchant marine, by saying that

On THE DAY OF Mr. Conkliug's nomina-
tion to be Associate Justice we ventured
the following prediction
We do not imagine that the ex-sena.or's
confirmation is in doubt. There may be
twelve Senators who will vote against him;
some on personal grounds and others from
public motives, but we do not believe the OPP
POSITION can amount TO more.
According to the most trustworthy infor-
nation that can be obtained, twelve Sena-
tors voted against Mr.. Conkling in the
Executive session. We have seen sew
eral lists representing the guesses of
various newspaper correspondents, but
there is reason to believe that all of them
are, more or less, incorrect. But that the
number of those voting No was twelve
there seems TO be no doubt.
1t may be worth while to adj that we
predicted in the same article that Mr..
Conkling would not accept the place, and
for this view we gave the following reasons:
If he accepts, the act must infalllbly be
viewed as mis- own confession that his political
career is at an end so utterly closed and ter
minated that he is now,s by way of asylum
forced 10 accept Il place at the foot of the same
Bench, whose Chief seat he declined ten years
ago; and 30 hopeless that he must needs re-
ceive these last kind offices OF political sepul
ture at the hands Of creature Of his own for
mer power
1t IS doubtful whether, In the average public
estimation, Mr. Conkling could command even
fragment OF the respect he once enjoyed
after accepting any gift whatsoever at Arthur's
hands. But II there Is any gift that he could
accept and retain the least shadow OF consist
eDcy with the main current Of his naughty
career, IL Is that place ON the bench and the
best that can be said Of that is that TO him II Ii
simply an honorable grave!
We see no reason for modifying aay o
these views now. True, some of Mr.. Conk
lings more enthusiastic admirers insist tba
he could don the judicial robes without for
feiting a particle of his consequence il
politics, and they point to instances, recen
and remote, of men descending from tn
bench to minge anew in the turmoil G
party. But we do not recall any instanc
of this kind where the circumstances weI
coincident with those of the case undo
discussion. Mr.. Conkling let his admire
say what they may, goes to the Bench
he goes at alias a crippled veteran
political defeat to an asylum, not as
trained jurist reaching the summit of b
career. At all events, such is the view IL
average public takes of the matter, and 1
man can prevail against the view of ii
average public. So, with the highest r
spect for Mr.. Conkling's integrity, and Il
warmest admiration for his capacity, v
still insist that his acceptance of the pla
TO which he has just been confirmed mu
be the end Of him Tor all dime in polite
life

As some interest must naturally

As some interest must naturally
attach to creatures which are I'M
doubtedly amongst the first which

pause little in order to give some
idea of the habits and economy of
some few of them.

wacke, and few subsequent ages,
yet long extinct in all its various
species, and hardly represented by
any existing animal; the only one
approaching to it being what is call
ed the scrolls. The trilobite was a
tue Crustacean, covered with shelly
plates, terminating behind in fex-
ible extremity, and furnished with a
head-piece composed Of large plates,
and fitted with eyes of a very com
plicated structure. 1t is supposed to
have made it's way through the
water by means of soft paddles,
which have not been preserved OF
its various organs, the most inter
esting is the eye, of which several
specimens have been obtained in q
very perfect state. This organ ac-
cording to Fossil! ANTAGONISTS, is
formed of 400 spherical lenses in
separated compartments, on the sur
face of CorWea projecting conically

usual place at the bottom of the
waters, could see everything around.
AS there are two eyes, one of the
sides of each would have been use
less as it could only look across to
meet the vision of the other, but on
the inner side there are no lenses,
that nothing, according to a prin-
clple observable in nature, may
be thrown away. Philosophers have
remarked with delighted surprise
the evidence afforded by the eye of
the trllobite, that the air and light
were generally the same, in the early
ages of the earth, rs now, and that
the sea must have been rs pure.
Regarding light itself, we learn
from the resemblance of these most
ancient organizations to existing
eyes, that the mutual relations Of
light to the eye, and of the eye to
light, were the same at the time
when Crustaceans, endowed with
the faculty of vision were placed at
the bottom Of the primeval seas, as
at the present moment.
A particular description will be
given In our next short essay, of the
Crinoida and Cephalopods, which
reached their zenith in abundance
of individuals and species, during
the subsequent age, aud afterwards,
like the trIlobites, became extinct in
all their various species.

Early G. Geological Ages.


EdHorS Irt1%7e'-i'eNertlng to
our chronological table, 1t IS to he
observed that the two hrst ages,
those OF the Gnelss and Mlca-SghlSt
systems, present us with no facts
beyond whatw we have alrearN stated;
namely, the vast eXpanSe OF lie seas,
and the prevalence OF q temperature
far higher than any now known to
exist upon the surface OF the earth.
We have no memorials OF any plants
or animals having existed IN these
ages. Perhaps the globe was not
yet tit to be a theater OF HE; or 1t
MAY be that some humble forms OF
both the vegetable and animal king
doms existed, but have from various
causes LET; no remains to testify the
fact. However this may be, 1t Is
not until the next age, that OF the
Clay-Slate system, that we have any
certain memorials OF organization
and life. We then find traces OF a
few species Of such animals as still
iuhabit our seas; such as corals, and
molluscs, commonly called shcll-tsh,
but all Of which have long ceased to
exist as species No traces of land
animals Of any kind, are now dis
covered, nor for several ages after;
and We may hence presume that the
sea was the first field Of life upon
our globe
