An experienced engineer suggests in the y. \.

buildings is one of the causes OF our extensive

A Hood OF putrid narrative has been poured by
Theodore Tllton upon the public ear Ii 1t proves

craven sneak, and Beecher Just little more fool,

known as the mock marriage he celebrated in

ragged husband. He has run a church without a
creed bis pulpit has been but d rostrum for the
delivery of Sensational discourses religious, social
and political; his oratcry has ever outstripped bis
piety and his reputation has been achieved rather
through the irreverent familiarity and jaunty all
with which he handled most sacred things thar
through any good he has done and mere than
through any beniicent example he has set. His
preaching has been as much libel upon relg ion
as has been his life, and he has never been hap
pier than when he startled the conservatism O
communities oy treading upon the rough edges
of profanity or vugarity. His association hal
