Mr. Jackson explained his position on
the cemetery question. He is not in favor
of a promiscuous mixture of the bodies
even after death. Jackson thought that a
fence between trie dead would be sufficient;
but Aston was of the idea that it would be
dangerous to have them so close together,
and was in favor of having more ground
hfityvepn them.
‘ ;The! report of the committee on taxation
was then read. It was amended to make
the tax on fire insurance $10 instead of
$100.

Tom Aston is indignant that the butch-

of contributing to the sustenance of the

Any subscribers that are not getting

A party of St. Louis excursionists, com -
prising leading business men, have entered
Texas; occupying two sBeepers and a din-
ing car. They will visit the principal
cities, and take a look at the country gen-
erally along the lines of railroad. The citi-
zens of Fort Worth would extend a cordial
welcome to the party if they should in-
clude our city in .the grand round. Mot to
see Fort Worth would be ;r neglect of pri-
vileges for which the- excursionists could
not forgive themselves nor expect to be
forgiven. - • ’ k .V ' - v '
lightening rod men is to be $25, and not
$100, as first intended.
The clause fixing a tax on sewing ma-
chine agents was amended so as to read
$25 instead of $50.
Life insurance agents must pay accord-
ing to the amendment affecting them—$10
instead of $75. - •
• -One-fourth of one per cent, was decided
on as the proper amount to assess the peo-
pie for public buildings.
After making these amendments, the
ordinance was adopted as a whole.
Certain citizens interested, petition his
honor tlie mayor and the city council to
bridge a ravine at the west end of Belknap
street. They aver that the street is now
impassable. Their prayer was referred to
the committee on streets and alleys, who
will no doubt give them all the relief in
their power.
The mayor suggested that some one. offi-
cer should have the power to contract for
the improvement of the streets or the fill-
ing of a mud hole when he deems it neces-
sary, to the extent of twenry-tive dollars
without waiting for the action of the coun-
cil. They delegated to the mayor the
right of expending, in the aggregate, that
amount without special actiou on their
part.
An ordinance was then adopted provid-
ing for the payment of tlie old debt. It
■was the old ordinance which created a spe-
cial fund for the payment of salaries re-
modeled. In tlie ordinance, as amended,
the scrip already issued for salaries is pro-
vided for, and will be paid out of the fund
to be created by the amended law.
Incorporated in the amendments was a
clause repealing section 3 of the old ordi-
nance, Which instructed the city secretary
bow to draw money out of that fund.
Alderman Evans moved that the mayor,
city attorney and Alderman Jackson, con-
stitute a committee tq revise the city ordi-
nances. Carried.
Mr. Jackson asked permission to have
an order tor repairing the ravine on East
Weatherford street placed on the calendar
of Business. Granted.
'cbuncil then remitted balance of penalty
of three prisoners, Olay, Nanson and Cle-
ments, and they then; empowered the
mayor to remit penalties at his discretion.
Council then adjourned till Tuesday
next, at seven' o'clock in the evening.
A Wonderful ITeak of Nature.
Our estimable fellow-citizen, Mr. Z.E.B,
Nash, told us yesterday of a natural curi-
osity which he had at his house. It was a
two-headed cat of the Thomas variety.
Wednesday there was born a litter of kit-
tens, and Thursday morning Mr. Nash,
wishing to surprise his little daughter,
went to the hiding place of the old cat,
and, taking the kittens, started for the
house. Hearing a faint mew he returned,
and found, off to one side, in a corner ot
the old cat’s bed, the little feline which in-
spires, by its variation from the fashion-
able style of cats, this article.
From the neck back it is as perfect a cat
as ever straddled baek-vard fences and
made uery.b.qs-gentlemen lose their temper
and boots. Had it dived—and if we are to
stay her^the gods be thanked, it didn’t—it
would have been able t.o- get its pick ot
places in the Thqpias (Theodore) orchestra,
Being able to Sfng two notes at once, no
manager of back-yard concerts would have
been so niggardly as to refuse,it a double
salary. But, going forward from the neck,
the bicephalous nature of this creature was
at once seen. After the two ears
properly located and perfect in all their
proportions, the head began to widen till
two distinct faces met the astonished gaze
of the student; of eat nature. These were
as perfect as the face of any cat. Four
eyes, two noses and two mouths, with two
chins and chin whiskers, tipped off this
curiosity. Looking at it from the side it
seemed an ordinary cat, with its head
slightly turned, as if it “smelt a rat.” Had
it ‘ lived, it would have undoubtedly
risen in the feline world. It would
have been two-faced on all occasions, and
have been able by this fact alone, to have
prostrated “ the best laid - plans of mice”
and its rivals.'■ But it’s gone and we ain’t
sorry, for its.'sihging- ability was what
bothered us. As a solo singer of duets, it
would Have 'undoubtedly been asuccees.
It would sung them so-low that not
more than' four hundred boots a night
wouM'have been hurled at it.

don’t want to quarrel with you ; so. to

Col. Bartow is displeased with the gov-

nal class. He is of the opinion, and right-

laws, our state can be cleared of this class
of people. We have not only to deal with
the criminals who rightly belong to us,
but we are overrun by hordes of thieves
and murderers from the older states. Tlie
colonel says hunt them down and bring
them to justice. Something must be done
or the excellent class ot emigrants ^com-
ing to Texas will turn their attention to
states where the law is more faithfully exe-
cuted.
