GREAT FIRE IN ST. PAUL.
Aucrbach. Finch, Culbertson l. Co.'S Great
Wholesale Dry Goods House DESTROYED,

About O'Clock on the afternoon of Sunday
March Z, an alarm of fire was given, which
proved to be in the fourth story floor of the
fine four story structure on the corner of
fourth and Jackson streets, in St. Paul. The
building was occupied by the extensive dry
goods merchants, ,Auerbach, Finch, Cult ertson
& Co. The fire department promptly respond
ed but seemed to be unable to control the
flames. large portion of the immense stock
Of goods was hastily removed, large quanti-
ty was of course more or less damaged by fire
or water The great building burned for hours
After night fall the scene was tcrrifcialy
grand. Thousands Of people were on the
streets. The fremen fought the flames for 12
consecutive hours. at $50 Monday morning,
tho fire was dcrcely raging still. The fire was
confined to the building. At 3 a. m. Monday
the great walls were standing entire. The
stock Of goods on hand in the store amounted
to $4,000, on which was an insurance
of $4s2,O0o. It is thought the loss
above insurance will not fall below
a quarter of million dollars. The
building was the property of Commo.

brother Captain P. 8. Davidson, of La Crosse

Some Thingsits Hard to Understand:

Some Thingsit's Hard to Understand:
Why an endless procession of drinkers
! from public dlppcr, will, without any
exception, drink close to the handle.
Why half the human race was not born
without hearing, and the other half with
out speech. Then the takers might talk
on in uninterrupted flow, and tho hearers
exercise their especial gift without their
present pur;ercy to speak.
Why people will go into society to get
bored when they can get bored just as
we'll at home.
Why the young lady who will eagerly
chew clearinghouse mincc pic, will
checrfully cschcw boarding house meat.
Why mans stomach will be SO ever
lastingly squeamish at home, and ut the
eating house display faith like grain
of mustard seed.
Why a woman will make excuses for
her bread when she knows it is the best
she ever made, and she knows her COM
pany knows it.
Why young gentleman swears so
m UGH louder and more copiously when
strange young ladies are within carshot
or, IN other words.
Why tho desire to make fool of one s
self springs cternally in the human breast.
Why we are so much angricr against
him who shows us our error than HIM
who leads us therein.
Why everybody is so prompt to an
s*cr, 'How do you do?' when you ask
tnat inevitable question. And
Why you seem to be perfectly satls-
fed with the information contained in
this echo.
Why ones picty strengthens when his
health wcakens.
Why people will get married when
courtship is so sweet.
Why man who claims to have found
marriage delusion will again embrace
that delusion upon the first convenient
opportunity.
Why cold weather comes during the
season when it is least agreeable.
Why is it SO much easier to be polite
to people whom we shall probably never
see again than to those whose good op,n-
ion we have every reason to cultivate.
Why boys should run after the girls
when there is a whole houscful at home.
Why Jane finds Sarah's hateful broth
or SO attractive, and why the hateful
brother of Jane finds favor with Sarah.
Why & man should court the good
opinion of another, when he can never
hope to secure his own sclf-rcspcct.
Why is it SO much easier to close a
door in summer than winter, considering
that exercise is generally considered dis
tasteful in warm weather and pleasant in
cold.
Why one feels bad when appearing in
company in shabby garb, knowing we'll
that ones shabbiness gives more pleas
urs to others than ones rich clothing.

NARY'S GOAT,

Mary had William goat,
And he was black as Jet;
He followed Mary round all day,
And liked her? you just bet!
He went with her to school one day;
The teacher kicked hin: out;
It made the children grin, you know,
To have that goat about.
But though old Whack'em kicked him out,
Yet still he fingered near;
He waited just outside the door
Till Whack'em did appear.
Then William ran to meet that man
He ran his level best;
And met him just behind, you know
Down just below his vest.
Old Whack'c1n turned sommersault:
The goat stood on his iiead,
And Mary laughed herself so sick
She had TO 20 to bed.

There may be people in this world
who do know what goober is, but
there are none who have not heard of
the luscious md seductive peanut. The
peanut and the goober are one and the
same. There are seven counties in
Virginia that make a specially of grow
ing the peanut. The crop year begins
Oct. l, and ends the following Septem-
Der. In 1879 tho peanut crop
amounted to 100000 bushels. They sell
down in Ole Virginia for 81 b-shel,
which makes a pretty good item when
rolled up together. The modus oper-
andi by which the nuts are separated,
cleaned and classed is somewhat as fol-
lows: The third story Of tho building
contains thousands of bushels of peas
in bags. First, there is a large cylin-
der, in which all the nuts are placed, in
order that the dust and dirt may be
shaken off of them. They pass from
this cylinder into tho brushes, where
every nut receives fifteen feet of a
brushing before it becomes free. Then
they pass through sluice-way to the
floor below where they are dropped on
oA CASsACso OC4p, nOOuV WV GAu q AOAA
feet in width, and passing along at the
rate of four miles an hour. On each
side of the belt stand eight colored
girls, and, as the nuts fall from the
sluice on the belt, the girls, with quick
motion of the hand, pick out all the
poor-looking nuts, and by the time the
belt reaches tho end two-thirds of the
nuts are picked of, allowing only the
finest to pass the crucible. Those that
do pass drop through another sluice and
empty into bags on the floor below.
When the bag is filed it is taken away
by hand, sewed up and branded, with
the figure of rooster prominent on its
sides. The peas caught up by the girls
are thrown to one eide, placed in bags
and carried into another room, where
they are again picked over.

cost $4,000. The building was heated by
steam throughout and supplied with steam
elevators. 1t was rented to Auerbach, Finch,
Culbertson s. Co., for term OF ten years at
1850 per annum. The insurance ON the
building was $4,000, having been increased
$4,000 last November. If the walls remain
