A NEW IDEA IN BnILDING.-Wire
netting for plastering is being rap
idly introduced to take the place Of
laths. 1t takes less labor to place on
the walls, is more continuous, and
will not burn. Coarse netting, with
onc-inch mesh, and made of strong
wire, is found to answer best. For
ornamental cornicc work it is espcc-
tally valuable for it can be bent into
any desired form. Secured to iron
studding in brick building our
greatest danger on account of fire
wonld be removed. A still further
application of this plan is to make
roundbags of wire, resembling bar
rels, and to coat them inside and out
with cement. When it hardens they
resemble stone barrels. Filled with
sand and sunk in rows and masses,
they make excellent building mate
rial for break waters. Another ex-
tension of the idea has been tried
with success in England. 1t consists
in making iron framed buildings,
covering them with wirehetting, and
spreading concrete on both sides. 1t
is claimed that a house-walls, floors
roofs, doors partitions, and all-has
been built, that is strong, firm, and
absolutely incombustible. Various
applications of wire netting, and
plaster or cement, readily suggest
themselves, and the matter is worthy
of the attention of mechanics and
builders.

AS we intimated two weeks since,
We are not sorry that the proposed
excursion of the Iowa Press Asso-
citation to Niagara Falls is aban-
doned, especially if transportation
for it upon. the railroads was to be
asked as a gratuity. For our part,
we would much prefer that the time
which will be spent in the contem-
plated visit to Chicago could be de-
voted to business meetings and a
thorough discussion of matters Of
interest and Importance to the pros
perity of the profession. At the
same time we cannot help feeling
and express ing our hearty contempt
for the course of those papers that
are just now assailing, with coarse
and unmannerly epithets and allu-
sions, that portions Of the editorial
fraternity of Iowa, who have here
tofore not regarded it inappropri-
ate or indecent to join the annual
excursions of the Association. One,
to read the severely virtuous phillip.
les of these papers, wherein the ia
yorite form of allusion to their brcth-
rem of the quill is couched in such
elegant and gentlemanly terms as
.sdead BEATS and "dead heads,'']
would imagine that the writer's
thereof had never solicited any form
of favor from railroads, and would
scorn to dc so, under any circum-
stance whatever. And yet it will
not be SANDER to say that an excur-
sion through the pocket-books of
these extremely heightened and in
dependent gentlemen, whatever else
it might develope, would, in the ma
jority of cases, prove a rich find
in railroad passes, and other evil
dences of-shall we borrow their re-
fined lang uage and say-"dead beat
ISM" With some of them it is not
a matter of conjecture but of fact,
that wherever, or however distant
their journeys, they never pay rail
road fare, and these favors they So
licit without hope or expectation of
rendering an adequate equivalent.
It is not "dead beatism" in its indi-
yidual aspect that it is SO repugnant
to them; it is only when it manifests
itself collectively, among the "lesser
lights" as one of them supercilously
terms them, that it excites their vir-
tuous scorn and depreciation. We
do not seek to ignore the fact that the
practice of editors and newspaper
proprietors generally, with regard to
asking and receiving favors from r.
RS is not what it should be; though
we do not consider it more heinous
than that of other classes of the COM
munity. But as hypocricy is our pet
aversion, we cannot refrain from
expressing our opinion of those
Pecksniffs OF the fraternity who,
as deep in the mire as their fellows,
nevertheless assume, in the Ian
guage of slang, and with the sniffle
and cant of the self-righteous, to be-
rate the editors of Iowa for their lack
Of dignity and, independence for
soorth; and who, never deigning to
attend the sessions of the Press AS
ISOLATION, yet, with patronizing air,
attempt to dictate its action. Even
were these "unco guild" parties as
immaculate as they assume to be, the
supercilious tone in which they ad-
dress their equals is very much out
of character, and deserving OF re-
buke.

The Coming Raco.

Bulwer's satirical novel bearing
this title described highly devel-
oped race dwelling in the bowels
of the earth and possessing the pow
err of moving through the air at will
and of exerting an influence, at
distance by means ola cyril force"
This tale combined the wonders of
"Peter Wilkins and the Flying Is
landers" with the Darwinian theory
of the progressive development of
man, and was received either as the
production of a lunatic or as satire
upon Darwin, according the DISPOSE
Of the reader. The grave tone of
the story added to the mystery, but
every one conceded that, whatever
might be its object, the design of the
book was uniformly consistent. We
have now, however, another story re-
ported to have been published in a
scientific review giving description
of a family living, in Auvergne
France, the members of which are
slowly developing into birds. a
postmortem examination of one
member showed that the muscles Of
the trunk and upper extremities
were greatly developed, the Shout
der blades and clavicles enormously
large, the breast pigeon shaped, and
the breast bone widened and length
ened. An examination of the
young son of the deceased disclosed
that he was counterpart of his IA
Their, and in addition, possessed in
ternal eyelids and rudimentary
wings consisting of flaps of skin,
forming continuous connection be-
tween the upper portion of the arms
and the back. This APPARENTLY Sc
rious description of bird-man is
too transparent hoax to be believed
by anybody, and yet there may be
persons who will wade through the
lava beds and cross the extinct vol
canic craters Of Auvergne, in order
to- discover this family of pigeon
breasted human beings. Many years
ago, in the same region, there was
discovered the supposed remains of
a human skeleton, who, it was asert-
ed, had lived before the deluge.
But the mass only proved to be a
conglomeration OF volcanic cinders.

not personally responsible for what
was done by his partner, he APP
proved Mr.. Hale's action in the case.
And furthermore that he (Mr. A.

people or notice the matter at all

arrested for obtaining money under

resulted in favor of the defendant,
whether by a verdict of jury or
failure of the prosecution to appear
against him, we are unable to say.
In relation to the nomination for
Lieutenant Governor, Mr.. Adams re-
marked that he cared very little

appears much like his former self.
AS we parted from him we asked
ourselves the question how that boy
and girl dared to commit that hor-
rible crime. The
State of Iowa did more than all
else to kindle the flame Of passion
and revenge, that sped those two
bullets. Iowa has said to the
world that "murder Is not such u
bad crime after all, and if We pun
ish at all, we will deal gently with
the erring Ones" Does any one
suppose that Byron Wright would
be feebly walking about to-day suff-

shots, if hanging in downright ear
