The scientific world, and especially that por
tion of it who have made the study of mealMuo
and surgery their profession, cannot fall to be
intensely interested in tbe fact which bs re
cently come to our knowledge, of the determi
nation of Chang and Eug, the Siamese twlnB,
to submit to a aurgloal operation for the pur
pose of dissevering the wonderful link that has
so lone bound them together. Home forty
years ago these twins were introduced to the
notice oi ine oivnizea worm, naving oeen
brought to England from 81am in the year 1827
or 1828. by Captain Bunker, at present living lu
New York, and for a series of years they were
exhibited to the public at all the preat centresof
civilization. Having visueu America, they de
termined to make this land their home. They
bought a valuable tract of land in North Caro
lina, married two sisters, and settled down in the
ordinary routine of a farmer's dally life. Each
of them Is now the father of nine children. The
reason for their determination, at this late day,
to ct 11 In the art of snrgery to produce an entire
physical separation, is, that having reached
such an advanced age (fifty-nine years), they are
fearful that one may osoome me subjeot ofdis
ease, wnicn may prove iaiai to ootn. rue laie
resting question arises, What are the pioUa
buttles or a successful operation being per
formed? It will be remembered in pursuing
these inquiries that thetwiosare held together
oy quite a massive link or thoroughly
normal and perfectly vitalized integu
ment, some ten or twelve Inches in circum
ference, situated near the vital organs, aud in
eltse pioximlty to the huart and lungs; aud the
connection is so intimate that each seems to be
thoroughly an orgenlr.ed portion of the other.
as much so as any of tho ordinary members of
a naturally eor.'.suluteu human body. Senait
tion, nervous impression, nieutal phenomena,
morbid, physical, and nervo-menlsl condition-;,
all show a most perfect psychical unity in this
wonderful dual physical existence. The ques
tion In regard to the result of an operation is no
new one, but soon after thetr first appearance
in London and Paris it excited tbe minds of the
foremost intellects in the suiylcal world. If we
rememberrlgbtly, the " I wins" were exhiblle I
before tlta Academy of Physicians and Surgeons
In Purls at that time lor the purpose ot ascer
taining their opinion In regard to the proba
bilities of a successful operation. The disagree
ment in regard thereto we believe led to the
abandonment of the project. Has the science
of surgery so rapidly advanced thnt to-day
successful results cru be promised when there
whs so much doubt a score or two of years Hijo?
We understand they contemplate vkdtlniz Paris
for tbe purpose of haviug the operation per
formed. N. V, Tribune.

In the exercise or this power the Legislature have
dug canals, built bridges aud railroads, aud paid for
tbem by money raited by loans and taxation. This
power is Indlspu, able, and upon Its constitutionality
depends our laige (State debt. Tbe Legislature oould
undoubtedly bnlld thin bridge, over a navigable river,
at Sou Hi street and pay tor It by moneys proceeding
from loans or taxes, aud In doing It they might em
ploy commissioners to erect it This must be con

east and west banks of tbe fc'chuylklll, upon which
Philadelphia Is built.

two growing portions ot tbe city, and forming a part
of a continuous highway frmu ibe Delaware toihe

an area of cue hundred 11 nf tinny square miles, and
eight hundred thousand souls and the question Is.
raiiiioi theistate place tue cost of this great public
Improvement upon a locality and a population

adm t of arguuieut, lor tbe mere statement otitis
sufficient.
But we are not wanting in direct authority npon
this point, in Thomas vn. Leland. 24 Wendell, 85, It
was held tbat an act of Ibe Legislature Imposing a
tax upon a local dlsirlct ot tbe slate, In reference to a
putiiic lmnrovemeut, Midi as a caual, Is valid aud con
stitutional, notwithstanding that previous to the
passage or such act a uumoer of Individuals of such
district bad entered Into a boud 10 the elate, by which
they bound tin mselvea to nay the whole expense of
the Improvement, la answer tj some obnctlous,
Mr. Justice Coweu says: "But the argu-nent
proves quite too nnicli. it would go to cut ofT '
eutlrely many acknowledged powers of taxation;
sufli as that which rinfes money to relieve tbe
poor, or tstAb'ljh and keep on toot common
schools, to build bridges or work the highway,
it coufounds two distinct legislative powers: a
Blmple power of laxai Imu with Die power of taking
private iroperty for putilla use. Tne former acts
upon cinaiunltles, aud may be exerted in favor of
a" y object which the Le. Mature shall deem for the
public benefit. A tax to build a lunatic asylum may
tie mentioned as one ins ani'e. I' the power to Im
pose sii' h a tax were lo be re. ted on th ground of
Individual pecuniary benefits to eaoh one who snoutd
be railed on to tomrlhulx. It Is (pipe obvious that It
vontd not be maintaluod for a moment. Yet who
won id doubt that such might be imposed on a local
community, a counu or even a town T I admit tbat
this power of taxation may be abused? but Its exer
cise cannot be Judlclous'y restrained so long as ids
referrabie to H e taxing power."
