est good to the greatest number and the
greatest number to be the judge as to
what that is.
We are now about obtaing a city char
ter, and 1t should be made broad enough
to meet the expanding requirements OF
the city for years TO come, for the powers
delegated in q charter are the extreme
limit, and by hese we will be circumscrib-
FED, A municipality can only exercise
delegated powers. Silence with reference
to any power in city charter is prohlbi-
ton of the exercise OF such powers For
instance, the absence Of any provision IN
city charter for levying city tax would
deprive the municipal authorities of the
city OF the power to levy a lax; so that it
is necessary that every present and future
need and exigency, SO far as human fore
sight can grasp, should be provided for.
The matter of finance IS a point that
should be well guarded. Ii there is any
one thing in which people have shown
themselves incapable of self government
When given loose rein they have in
innumerable cases involved themselves in
debt to the extent of insolvency. This
should be provided against by reason
able restriction in tho amount Of indebt-
edness to be incurred and like limit to
the per cent of tax that may be levied in
any one year. Safeguards should be
placed around the city treasury so as to
effectual]y secure 1t from peculatlon and
embezzlement by system of checks upon
the custodians of the city funds. No
honest man would object to this and none
but honest men should have the custody
of the funds. The Alert has no disposl-
tion to dictate in the formation of the
new charter, but it has now come to be a
subject of public discussion and we give
our views upon it,

sense, forming warm covering as pro-

that are used by the gang of petty thieves
and law breakers that infest those dis
tricts. Most of the rascals are half grown
boys who when pursued take to the vacant
lots and greet the officer with shower of
stones If he attempts to follow them
Many policemen have assesses on their

which he placed the silken ring on his right
arm, and then let it slide down on that of
Mr.. Mackaye, who was much astonished to
find it there when the handkerchief was re-
moved from his eyes.
''Did I take my hands away from yours -
asked Mr.. Cumberland.
No." answered Mr.. Mackaye very posi-
lively, and then the company laughed
heartily.
The same trick was tried, with the vari-
alton that one of the doctors present was
to touch Mr.. Mackaye's nose while Mr..
Cumberland rested his hands on those of
his subject. The performer and the doctor
touched the Delsartian disciples nose, and
yet Mr.. Mackaye was as positive as before
that the performers hands had not been
removed. Here DR.. Beard took the floor
He asked Mr.. Cumberland if his la
bors sent his pulse up unusually

DR.. Beard said that Bishops pulse ire

formances, and there had been several
cases of commissions as the result of such
efforts.

A DOG WITH TWO TAILS.
ILeadville (Colo.) Chronicle. !

William McC axthy, who lives few miles
from Soda Springs, received as present
few days ago a dog whose peculiarities are
more marked than those of the ordinary
canine, and which is attracting no little at
tention. The dogs tail is double, both
parts reaching to the spinal column, and
both attached to it by some natural nova
BILE joint. They are entirely disconnected
from each other, and there is no
power of moving both at the same time.
except that of shifting the base from right
to left and vice versa. This does not ap-
pear to be voluntary, but is occasioned by
the feelings of the dog. When the tail on
the right side is in the position of direct
continuity with the backbone the dog has
no power of moving the tail on the left
side or left branch of the tail, whichever it
may be, and when the left side tail is in
the same position there is no power of
motion on the right side. This remarka.
BILE freak of nature is, heightened in its sin
gularity by the sympathy, if such it may
be called, which exists between the sepa-
rate divisions of the dogs tail and TIE
sensations which exist in the brain.
The right side seems to have mo-
nopoly of all feelings of pleasure.
Whenever the animal is pleased the
right side tail is switched on and wags gay
ly in expression of happiness. While in this
condition harsh word from his master or
any thing else which causes him sorrow eff
fects a INST wonderful Transformation.
The right tail is showed aside by the left
side tail, which assumes the commanding
position and at once drops between his
legs.
This odd creature is OF the size and
build of the ordinary pointer dog, but his
hair is longer. His pedigree could not be
learned, but he was born and raised on
Cobb's rancho, near the mouth of Hard
scrabble creek, between Pueblo and Canon.
