The Scientific American mentions the
decline in the price of copper as likely to
lead to the increased use of that metal in
building. At present the material for a
copper roof costs, Mt the outset, only
about twice as much as tin, and as the
latter must be repaired AMI painted about
once in three years, and in fifteen or
twenty years must be renewed altogeth-
or, the copper, which never needs paint
ing, and is practically indestructible, is
much the cheaper material in the end.
There are in Boston many copper roofs,
put on about forty years ago, which show
no signs of determination; and the metal
is still much employed in that city for
cornices, cutters and rain-water pipes,
as well as for covering bay windows, and
in many other ways, in place of galvan-
lied iron, which is much inferior in
beauty aud durability, and not very much
cheaper. The copper has the additional
advantage of needing no paint, 30 that
the delicate lines of artistic work are in
no danger of being filed up, and the
metal increases rather than diminishes in
beauty by the slow formation of a blue
ish.green platina over it. For Hastings,
as well as other portions of roof, copper
is much superior to zinc or. tin, and with
the aid of a certain amount, Of lead, the
most difficult problems in roofing can be
successfully and permanently solved.

Pcck's Bad Boy Outdone.
Carson Appeal.

Carson Appeal.
Carson has developed a bad boy, who
is worse if anything than Peck's bad boy,
who is counted on as one of the worst
boys of his age in the whole United
States, His name is Johnny McGinnis,
and he lives on King street. 1t appears
that a few days ago Mrs. McGinnis
started to give her seven.year-old daugh.
terra bath. When she disrobed her by the
bath she was Mortified at discovering that
the young lady was covered all
over with the crocodiles, fish, rare ami
mails and Egyptian ibexes, painted on in
lasting colors: She said that her brother
Johnny had painted her to get her a
chance to 60 way with the circus. The
neighbors were called in, and their low
opinion of the boy was u~nbounded. The
elder McGinnis sailed out after the YEN
turesome lad and found him in John
sons barn, where he was decorating q
young lad whom he had inveigled away
from his parents. When the elder Nc
Ginnis ceased parleying with the younger
McGinnis the trunk strap he brought into
the barn had seen its best days. The
young lad made the following explana-
ton of the affair:
"Ye see, dads been pretty hard up

COUNCIL BLUFFS.
ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.
PAYING BACK BACK PAY,
The City Fathers Wisely Conclude
That They Ought Not to Vote
Themselves n Salary.

The public has not forgotten the action
Of the city council, taken about a month
ago., voting themselves back pay, nor has
The Bee allowed the public to forget it.
The resolution adopted by the council
was All evident. violation Of all law, it
being to the effect that each alderman
shall receive S25 a month for services as
chairman of committees, and hat this
should date back to April LIST. Alder
man James drew hls 500. Alderman
also took u warrant for a 500, but when
public protest was made against the ac.
ton he promptly returned it. The other
aldermen did not take theirs, and there
the ma ter has rested until Monday night
when the resolution was rescinded by a
unanimous vote.
Aldermen Eicher and McMahon who
were act present when the original no
tlce granting the pay was adopted, OK
cused themselves from voting for its re-
scinding. The council made a very neat
little Excuse for voting themselves the
amount, as will be seen by reading the
resolutions:
n WHEREAS, A resolution was passed at
a meeting of the council on the 9th day
OF July, 1883, allowing q compensation
of S25 per month TOR chairmen of com-
mittees. The intention of u majority of
the council in passing said resolution was
to test the legality of such allowance, the
same having become q usage in other
cities acting under our charter, and for
the purpose of limiting such allowance to
$25 per month. if found to be legal. No
steps having been taken to %enjoin the ac-
ton to test the question, therefore be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
council that such allowance is illegal and
contrary t" the statute, and be it further
Resolved, That the resolution passed
on the 9Th day of July, 1888, giving an
allowance of $50 per month to each
chairman of u committee, be and is
hereby recinded,
1t is now a matter of curiosity as to
whether Alderman James will pay back
the 500 which, under this resolution,
he has Drawn from the treasury. He
hau not paid it back up to last evening.
