yeTE FoR THE APPROPRIATIONS.

The time is rapidly approaching Tor
a vote on the ordinance appropriation
sleO, 900 additional in aid Of the coa-
struction of the Roanoke and Southern
railroad, If everybody could realize
what a wonderful etlsct the action Of
the council or this measure has had on
the prosperity OF the city, not man
would hesitate for a moment TO vote
for the proposition when it is submit
ted on the 18th instant.
Roanoke has been growing fast and
steadily for the past three years, bu
at no period of her history befare that
time o. since. have the signs OF IN
creased confidence and prosperity been
as gratifying as they now are. Busi
ness of all kinds is fourishius. People
are coming to the city by thousands,
many with desire 10 cast their lot
with u, and make the Magic City their
home. Late interviews of the TIMES
with leading citizsns. and the suisse
auent action OF the council in submit
ting the 100000 appropriation to 2
vote of the freeholdcrs OF the city, have
assured our own people and the rest o;
the country that the Roanoke and
Southern railroad will be completed
from Winston to Roam oke, and business
men, both at home aud abroad. are
making their preparations for the
future on this basis.
Other cities and towns in Virginia
and the South have their special claims
upon the consideration OF capitalists.
but it goes without saying than on gem
eral merits not one can surpass our
beautiful metropolis OF The mountains.
Here the resident can fad al the ele-
nts that combine 10 make life pleas
7Snt, comfortable aud happy. The sub
stantial, though rapid growth OF The
city shows that its future is assured,
provided the appropriation for the
Roanoke and Southern is voted for.
which means, OF course, the early COM
plstion of the road. The defeat Of this
measure would discourage many who
are now among the most hopeful, aud
would be followed by train of disas-
tsrs which would be most harttul to
the best interests OF the municipality.
This much to DO deplored result, how
ever, can not and will not come to pass.
Our people are too much alive to their
swn interests aud those of the city to
neglect the golden opportunity, and The
appropriation will pass BY practically
a unanimous vote.

The animal was received by Mr.. Elsner
along with lot of others he bought from
a farmer in Westchester county few days
ago.
The bull has two separate and distinct
mouths, and both are used for the purpose
for which mouths were created. The one
in its rightful place is normal in its forma-
ton. The superfuous mouth is located
directly below the natural one 1t is per-
fectly formed, save that its teeth look as if
they had been tossed into the cavity and
grown wherever they happened to strike,
and are not strong enough for the proper
mastication OF food.
The upper mouth the animal uses for
eating, while he drinks with the lower
one. When one is in operation the other
goes through the motions as well, and it is
curious sight to watch him chew his cud
with both mouths working in unison.
Another curious malformation which the
animal exhibits is that his high fore shoul-
der is displaced, the joint being far down
on the leg, thus giving him queer motion
when he walks.
The bull is quiet in the extreme and
seems to enjoy the attention he mas at.
