Thaekeray on Tennyson.

a letter to Mrs. Proctor. Thackerav,
it will be remembered, knew Ten

written in good natured parody Of
Tennyson's prize poem. "Alfred

digests them like a great poetical

Their Extinction.
Sir Ray Lancaster writes of the
enormous number of living crea-
lures which man has destroyed since
he first appeared on earth: Gwen
IN prehistoric times it is probable
that man by hunting the NAM
moth-the great hairy elephant
assisted in its extinction if he did
not actually bring it about. At a
remote prehistoric period the horses
OF various kinds which aboanded in
North and South America rapidly
and suddenly became extinct. It
has been suggested, with some show
OF probability, that a previously un.
known epidemic disease, due to a
parasitic organism-such as those
which we now see ravaging the
herds of South Africa-founG its
way to the American continent. And
it is quite possible that this was

Senate May Add More Money
To The Rivers And
HafbOrS Bill.

The indications are that Maryland s
interests in the rivers and harbors bill
will not only be protected, but that
they will be given even greater con
sideration by the Senate than by the
House, where the bill originated. There
are now pending before the Senate
Committee on Commerce a number of
amendments which will increase the
total Of MaryIand's appropriation by
about $50, 900 The improvements for
which increased appropriations are
now being asked are Of the Rockhall,
Queenstown. Claiborne, and Cambridge
harbcrs. The House allowed $50, 900 for
this work. but Senator Smith has now
asked that it be made $50, 900 instead.
Then, again. the improvement of the
northwest fork OF Nanticoke river at
fredericksburg provided for by the House
at cost of $40, 100 is now asked for
with an additional $1,000 appropriation.
Two minor amendments are also pend
ing. One of these provides for the re-
moval Of the bar at the mouth Of
Slaughter creek and the other for the
deepening of Manchester harbor. The
bill will be reported to the Senate the
latter part Of this week or the first Of
next.
