 The Labrador duck is one of the many sea ducks which during their southern migrations furnish considera- ble sport to gunners along the coasts. These ducks range southward in win ter to the coasts of New Jersey and Chesapeake Bay. The Labrador duck seems never to have been very com mon, and many of them died during the winter of 1876 and 1877, and aI- though their numbers have since in creased they have never attained their former abundance.
 The great aux, the largest member of the auk family distinguished not only by its size, but also by being the only bird In the northern hemisphere incapable of flying, was confined to the north Atlantic, ranging from Green land to Virginia, It has been com pletely exterminated, and its more rap i'd extinction seems to have been due to the fact that it was very gregarious in it's habits and had only few large breeding places. Had the bird bred in small colonies scattered along it's terri tory, the scientists think that it would have been in existence to-day. Just when the great aux ceased to exist in America is unknown, for there wera few naturalists on this side the water when it was being done to death. Few birds have received more attention than has the great auk since 1t became extinct. and it has been the subject of many papers, both popular and scenti- fic, while it's remains bring extrayagant prices whenever chance brings them into the market. The last skeleton brought $600, the last skin $650, and an egg brought $1,250 and was then resold for $1 800.
 Every one knows of the frightfully rapid extinction of the American bison or buffalo in this country. This, ac- cording to American scientists, is the saddest of all cases of the extinction of species. The wild buffalo is practically gone forever, and in a few more years, as Professor Hornaday, the superinten~ dent of the National Geological Park, has said, when the whitened bones of the last bleaching skeleton shall have been picked up and shipped east for commercial uses, nothing will remain  along the water courses, a few muse um specimens, and regret for his fate The area once inhabited by the Ameri- can bison extended almost from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast The ani- mals were gradually shot off in the eastern and middle sections of the Uni ted States, Canada and Mexico, and in 1870 they were divided in two herds, which ranged through parts of Kansas, Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico, Da- kota, Montana, Wyoming and the north of the Dominion. In 1880 the herds were still further diminished: they occupied only parts of Wyoming, Montana, Dakota and Colorado, to- gether with a small breeding ground to the north in Canada The greatest slaughters were in 1870 and 1873, and from 1880 to 1888, at which time the herd was reduced to a small number in the Yellowstone Park, another small herd in Montana, and a third small herd to the north In the Dominion of Canada New York Sun

I happened to be one Of party of six
dining the other night ut an up town
restaurant. Most of us were strangers to
each other, having met only in the aft
ernoon in the course of business. There
were banker, "a politician, lawyer, q
theatrical manager and something else,
l donot yet know what, in the company.
The something else made himself ex-
ceedingly agreeable. He was, in fact,
the life Of the party. He was politeness
itself, and his wit and epigrams were
fetching. After dinner he rather sud
denly and mysteriously dropped out Of
sight and was missed.
"Who was the gentleman" I asked
OF the theatrical manager.
I'm sure don't know" he replied.
II thought he was friend of yours"
mo, never saw him before. sup
posed he was q friend of yours, said
Then I put the same question to each of
the others and found that the man was
unknown to any of the party. He had
simply invited himself to dine with us,
behaved like a jolly good fellow and
disappeared at the right moment The
only thing we have against him is that
he forgot to pay his bill-New York

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-Richard Croker,
the ex-chief of Tammany Hall, was given
q dinner at the Hotel Savoy The event
was unique in the history of Tammany
politics, for never before has the organiza.
ton seen the voluntary retirement Of its
leader and never before, it is safe to say,
have SO many Tammany braves con-
tributcd to a dinner. the cost Of which
was $40 a plate. The feature of the dinner
was the presentation of q loving cup to
Croker by his successor, John c. Sheehan,
on behalf of the Tammany leaders.
This loving cup stands thirteen and a
half inches high, will hold two gallons
and weighs 2l0 ounces. 1t is composed Of
solid silver. Etched round the body Of
the cup is an ornamental Indian belt or
