The case of Joseph I. Curry, the
leader Of band cfreligious enthusiasts,
who was recently arrested near Augusta,
Georgia, for immoral practices, is one
which would really seem to lead to the
belief that lunacy is contagious. He
was formally preacher in good stand
ing among the denomination known as
cscond Adventists, and had some repu-
tation for scholarship. About eight
years ago be vas seiged With fever
which resulted in q permanent deFange'

sessed OF the idea that be was the
prophet Elijah, snd found in Springfield,
Massachusetts, a congregation Orasy

abroad in search Of proselytes, and
succeeded in gaining them in Boston,
Philadelphia, Maine and some Of the
syestorn States. Finally he bought q
tract oi isal in Georgia and settled
there with some OF his fslloYers, the
colony numbering ai one time siEiy

1t was this disregard of the marriage

fire the feeling against Mansard roofs was 30
intense, that our streets would present an
endless and monotonous succession of plain
fat roofs, which would, in the words Of the
New York Tribune, "sQuat like toads along
our thoroughfares." But the fear was un-
founded. Architects and builders have learn
ed that Mansard roof can be constructed in
As safe and fire proof manner as any other.
In the permits to build in the burned district
issued up to this time, about one-third are for
structures with Mansard roofs, and in the
last few days the proportion is increasing.
| 1t is thought by many of the best architects
| and builders that gypsum will take the place
of brick arches in the construction of fire.
proof buildings, the gypsum where laid in
arches having no thrust, az It Forms one solid
mass or slab. 1t also has the advantage Of
being much lighter than brick.
Just after the fire there was much talk
about the best kind of building material. For
time granite fell into disrepute, and marble
was proclaimed the builders favorite. As far
as could be found out, the only reason for this
was that the front Of marble building on
Washington street.-the one occupied by
Macullar, Williams & Parker,-stoOd intact.
But this was on the verge Of the fire and the
front was not exposed to the flames. This
was the only marble building that stood.
Within the limits of the district everything
crumbled alike before the fury Of the flames.
Marble, granite, sandstone, brick and iron all
yielded. And taking Washington street as q
criterion, granite stood the test as well as
marble, for the front of the Transcript build
ing was better preserved than that of Macul-
lar, Williams & Parker's. But for a while
all yielded to the popular cry, and none were
so poor to do granite reverence. But with the
sober second thought, builders are seeing that
the construction and not the material is at
fault; that if buildings are put up with pitch
pine cornices, dormers and skylights, and
tarred roofs, whatever material is used for the
walls they will be sure to go when there 10 q

REBUILDING IN BOSTON,

From an account in the Boston Advertiser
ofthe work of rebuilding in that city we take
the following:
walk through the burned district in tbs,s
spring days will show surprising amount Of
progress already made. The streets are
thronged with teams bringing building mate.
rial, and are lined with piles of lumber. stone
e. and brick; crowds of laborers are cleaninu
and sorting the bricks from the great niles al
debris which still cucumber many Of the eel
lars. Enough of the tall and jagged ruins are
still left to give faint idea OF what the dis
trict was for few weeks after the fire. But
these are fast disappearing, and the new wall
rising are hiding them from sight. Some o
the new buildings are already we'll advanced
towards completion, and in many places wher,
may be seen the signs telling the present b
cations of the burnt-Out firms, We also sec
new signs to the effect that as soon as these
premises are completed the firms will again
occupy stores on the old sites.
In taking \ walk over the burned district
one 10 surprised at the massive and substan-
tial character of the buildings in progress.
With such buildings as are to be erected it
will be next to impossible for another great
IRE to sweep the territory, and in combining a
IRE to the building where it originates. The
new buildings will have beauty and elegance
combined with q thoroughness of construc-
uon, which will substantiate Best0ns claim
OF possessing the finest architecture Of any
american city. The rebuilt portion will sur

A NEW PARTY

1t has been currently reported that Gov
ernor Hendricks of Indiana made trip
to Washington and spent several days
there in an effort to organize a new oppo-
sition party. He represented, it appears,
that he had the support in his plan of sew
eral western journals that took leading
part in the Cincinnati and Baltimore COM
bination. His project was, to abandon
the democratic organization, come out
with new name, cover up the ass in q
lions skin, and invite all the discontinued
into the ranks.
If reports are to be believed, however.
the Governor made but little progress in
his scheme. The democratic Senators
rebelled at the idea Of giving up the name
Of democrats. They think there is some.
thing in a name after all, and that merely
changing names will not make the party
smell any sweeter than at present. They
fear the ears Of the ass will stick out and
betray the animal, though they cover il
with tawny hide and call it lion. The
little game which they played last year,
had as one Of its features a pretended
sinking of the democratic organization
behind the liberal republican name and
party. but it was not q success There
fore there is no encouragement, judging
by the past, to try that trick again. If
they are going to die again, the democrats
must make 1t real thing and not the
counterfeit, which is what they never in.
tended to do and probablynever will dc
ut the bidding Of Hendricks or any othe,
of their leaders.
Mr.. Hendricks was also told that he wa.
rather too early in the field with his plan.
for organizing the opposition, and advised
to wait awhile. Sagacious observers tole
him that although there was some noise
and pother there were no signs of coming
change to warrant any steps in anticipa-
ton Of them. Some men in the republic
can party had lost popular favor but the
party itself stands firm and united. Thus
ended Governor Hendricks attempt to
form new party.
