The best course then is to let each Of

The impression has very generally pre-
vailed that Bonner Lake was very deep
in places. Reports We're published that
the lake had been sounded three years
ago to the depth of loo feet without
finding bottom. Curiosity. and desire
to know more about the lake, and set a
mooted question at rest, prompted a
number of our citizens to raise a sub
seription aud obtain the necessary appa-
ratus to ascertain TO q certainty the
depth OF the lake at various points
through its entire length. The sound
ings were taken Yesterday under the
management of DR.. CUrless. Sixteen
different soundings We're taken III all.
The initia! point, from whence opera
tons We're commenced, was tree rear
the shore of the east end OF the lake,
and but a short distance from the Sitha
ice binding. The following is the re-
suit of the measurements taken. pro-
ceeding from the initial point above
mentioned:

Brx WANTS. name comes up now for

BEN WADE's name comes up now ior
Chief Justice. Sturdy old Ben is en-
titled to any honors his country has 20

OF the Presidents intended nomination
of him comes from . 10 less doubtful!

=. S.-We were mistaken when We
made the foregoing allusion TO the Hon
Ben Wade. The gentleman who has re-

his selection for this high position the
following telegranls are nj hand:

4 SUBSTITUTE FOR LATEs.-Wire net
ting for plastering it is said, is being
introduced, by builders in the East and
Ill Europe. to take the place OF laths. It
takes less labor to place on the walls, is
more continuous and Will not burn.
Coarse netting with one inch mesh. and
made of strong wire, is found to answer
best. For ornamental cornice work it is
especially valuable, as it can be bent III
to any desired form. Secured to iron
studding in brick building, our greatest
danger Oh account of fire would be re-
moved 4 still further application of
this plan is to make round bags of wire
resembling barrels, and TO coat them i'll
SIDE and out with cement. When ii
hardens they resemble stone barrels
Filled with sand and sunk in rows and
masses they make excellent material for
breakwaters. Another extension of the
idea has been tried with success in Eng
land. 1t consists in making iron framed
buildings, covering them with wire net
ting, 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 ap-
plications of the use of wire netting, and
plaster or cement, readily suggest them
selves, and the matter is worthy of the
attention of the mechanics and builders.

How To MAKE MUSTARD PLASTER
The ordinary way is to mix the mustard
with water, temperinS it with little
flour, but such plaster as that makes is
simply abominable. Before it is half
done its work it begins to blister the pa
rient, and leaves him finally with pain
full spot, after having produced far less
effect in beneficial way than was in
tended. Now a mustard plaster should
never make a blister at all. When you
make mustard plaster, then, use no
water whatever, but mix the mustard
with the white of an egg, and the result
will be plaster which will draw per-
fectly, but will not produce blister
even upon the skin of an infant.

WOODEN SHOES are highly recommen-
ded by the agricultural societies and
Governments of Europe, and it is shown
that many diseases resulting in i'm
paired constitutions and even in the
loss of life have resulted from wearing
leather shoes in wet weather. A practi-
cal workman from France has been
called recently to Germany to superin-
tend their manufacture. They are
light and easy to wear, and provided
with a small cushion within the upper
side to obviate any pressure on that part
of the foot. They are of neat, pleasant
appearance. blackened or vanished,
large enough TO accommodate comforta-

straps. Their prices range from twenty
four to thirty-six cents. and very few

Returns to its Slander.

The extremity to which the ring is
posed than by the return of the E'r-
press to the BERN ARD falsehood. The
man, BERNARD, who, it may be well
to remark, owns one hundred or more
shares in the Water Company, and
consequently fears the appointment
of Board of Water Commissioners,
as the law directs, permits himself to
be made to say in the interview out of
which the little organ manufactured
it's entire stock in trade so far in the
campaign, that he did not own GER
tain piece of land at given time, yet
the papers in the case show that he
had sold or given the lot to Bishop
AMAT before the time stated and that
he sold it to another party after the
date mentioned. These facts place
him in position which renders any
and all statements he may make on
this or any other matter valueless in
the estimation of all honorable men;
while the card of Colonel SMITH, the
attorney of Mr.. DEs AUTELs in the
case of DES AUTELS VS.. AMAT, sh ows
that neither the city nor Mr.. BEAUDRY
were in the slightest degree concerned
in the final disposition of the lot. Still
the Erpress is able to find nothing to
urge against Mr.. BEAUDRY except the
story Of this man BERNARD, in which
he convicts himself of an act that
ought to be investigated by the Grand
Jury. The pertinacity with which
the little organ sticks to its nailed
down and branded falsehood is evil
dence of two facts: First, that it
would libel tho angel GAPprEI if an
directed and the libel furnished by the
ring; and, second, that being unable
to find another BERNARD and lacking
the ability to invent another slander,
it labors assiduously to earn the price
of its infamy by setting up day by
day its dead and putrid slander and
crying out to every passer-by, "See
our little bantling; don't you think
we can make it live if we keep up a
steady application of lie ?"

A Remarkable Masonic Incident.

The first Masonic funeral that ever
took place in California occurred in
1S49, and was performed over a broth
er found dead in the bay of San Fran
cisco. An account of the ceremonies
states that on the body of the deceased
was found silver mark of q Mason,
upon which were engraved the initials
of his name. A little further investi-
CATION revealed to the beholder the
most Singular exhibition of Masonic
emblems that was ever drawn by the
ingenuity of man upon the human
skin. There is nothing in the history
of traditions of F'reemasonry equal to
it. Beautifully dotted on his left arm
in red and blue ink which time could
not efface, appeared all the emblems
of the entire apprenticeship There
was the Holy Bible, square and COM
pass, twenty four inch gauge and
common gavel. There was also the
Masonic pavement, representing the
ground floor of Solomon's Temple, the
indented tessel which surrounds it and
the blazing star in the center. On his
right arm, artistically executed in the
same indelible fluid, were the en-
blems pertaining to the Fellowcraft's
degree, viz-the square, the level and
the plumb. There were also the five
columns representing the five orders
of architecture - the Tuscan, Doric,
Ionic, Corinthian and Composite. In
removing the garments from his body,
the trowel presented itself, with all
the other tools of operative masonry.
Over his heart was the pot of incense;
on other parts OF his body were the
beehive, the book of constitutions,
guarded by the Tyler's sword, pointing
to naked heart; the All-Seeing Eye,
the anchor and the ark, the hour glass,
the scythe, the forty-second problem
of Euclid, the sun, moon, stars and
comets; the three steps which are en-
blematic OF youth, manhood and age.
Admirably executed was the weeping
virgin, reclining upon broken col
umn, upon which lay the book of con-
stitutions. In her right hand she held
the pot of incense, the Mason's en-
blem of a pure heart, and in her left
sprig of acacia, the emblem of the
Immortality of the soul. Immediately
beneath her stood winged Time with
his scythe by his side with which he
cuts the brittle thread of life and the
hour-glass at his feet, which is ever
reminding us that life is whitening
away. The withered and attenuated
fingers of the destroyer were placed
amid the long and flowing ringlets of
the disconsolate mourner. Thus were
striking emblems of mortality and
Immortality blended in one pictorial
representation. 1t was q spectacle
such as Masons never saw before and
in all probability such as the frater-
nifty will never witness again. The
deceased brothers name was never
known.
