DISTRESSING CASUALTY.

A Farmers House Burned and - Chilli Per-
ishes.
distressing fire occurred yesterday about
three miles this side of White Bear, on the new
county road. MIR. Thomas Miner, of White
Bear, was on his way to the city, when he dis
covered the one and a half story frame resi-
dence If farmer named Andrew Blimlot to be
on fire. Hating his team he proceeded to the
house. and called on Blimlot, who was about
200 yards distant, with his wife, loading hay.
MIR. Miner endeavOred to relieve the house of
smoke by breaking in a window, and was
startled when Blimlot came running up shout
ting that the children were in the house.
The father rushed into the burning building
and in few moments emerged with dead
child in his arms. Returning, he brought out
a second child, which was still alive and will
probably recover. The dead child was two and
a half years old and was found upon the bed.
They think it was playing with the fire and
setting itself on fire crawled to the bed and
there died, as the child was badly burned, while
the bed was not on fire at all. The second and
Youngest child was in the further corner of the
room and under table. The children we're not
locked In but were so small they could not open
the door, The father was badly burned about
the head, neck and arms while endeavoring to
save the children, and the mother WAS frantic
with grief. The house entirely destroyed,
and but for Mr.. Miners timely assistance
both of the children would have been entirely
consumed,

In response to the suggestions of the
GLOBE judges Wilkln. Brill and Simons have
united in an order directing the clerk of the
court to deposit the money in his hands in
some respons ible bank in his official name,
and checks for said money must be counter
81 gned by one of the judges. This is very
appropriate and renders it certain that
when the money is once deposited it cannot
be devoted to private use unless both judge
an d clerk are in collision. We are sure that
Clerk Kiefer will thank the GLOBE for re-
ieving him of the respon sibility of caring
for SO much money.

TO-MOrrOw Evening.
The grand carnival masquerade, to be given
tomorrow evening, at the Athenaum, by the

mated in q display of rare costume, tableaux,
etc, heretofore unequaled.
The hall has been deliberately and beautifully
decorated. The music will be furnished by
the Great Western brass and reed band, and
will consist of choice concert and promenade
numbers, supplemented by terpsichorean Sc
lections from Seiberts orchestra. The evening s
entertainment will be inaugurated by grand
ceremonial march, led by their royal
highnesses, Prince and Princess Carnival,
Mr.. Arthur koenig and Miss Emma Faber.

Perhaps Moses made some mistakes.
The science of mathematics was not devel-
oped in his time to such an extent as it is
at present, and hence he may have made an
error in calculating the progeny of the chill
dren of Israel who left the land of Egypt in
Pharaohs time, but such mistakes do not
compare with the mistakes of Noah, who
neglected golden opportunity to make an
end of spiders, mice, rats and cockroaches,
flies, bed bugs and mosquitoes. cats and
dogs, and kindred evils. These mistakes
will long remain blotch on the fair name
of Noah. He was the first man to get glori-
ously drunk, and he was the only man who
had the opportunity to exterminate many OF
the pests that now afllict mankind. He
has twice set bad example, and we feel
impelled to pronounce him more indiscreet
man than Moses

THE MISTAKES OF NOAH.


Col. Bob Ingersoll has for years past been
celebrating what he chooses to call the mis-
takes of Moses. Perhaps, in chronicling
the ievents that preceded his mortal exist
ence, Moses made some mistakes, but
these are only in matters of history. Noah,
however, made far grGver mistakes than
his descendant of character far
different and more farreaching than those of
Moses. If We accept the book of Genesis
as historic truth, we are compelled to the
conclusion that MIR. Noah did not under
stand his business-did not foresee the
consequences of his youthful indiscretion
in making selections of the animals, insects
and reptiles to be preserved to posterity. It
is recorded that he chose pair of all the
beasts of the field, all the fowls of the air,
and it may be presumed, all the insects
and reptiles that now afflict
humanity, and gave them refuge in the
ark during the great rain of forty days and
forty nights that deluged the world, and
when the ark rested upon Mount Ararat he
opened the doors and turned them loose
upon the world.
Perhaps it is unfair, now that Mr.. Noah
is dead and has no opportunity to defend
himself to charge him with want of judg-
ment in the selection of the species that
ought to have been saved from extermlna-
ton. 1t is charitable to presume that he
lacked the experience that We of the present
day have had, and therefore was liable to
err. He was probably never bitten by bed
bugs, nor had he laid awake o'nights fight
ing mosquitoes and got up in the morning
looking and feeling as if he had been out
all night with the boys, leading Mrs. Noah
to the utterance of remarks that
somewhat disturbed their connubial
felicity for time. He had not been
startled from sound sleep at midnight by
the yowlings of Thomas and Tabby cat,
and flung his old shoes and his .bootjack out
of the back window. He never, probably,
walked along back street on dark night
and had three or four ours yelping at his
heels and felt symptoms of hydrophobia
creeping through his veins. Nor did Mr..
Noah, after weeks hard work, seek elysium
for day in rural shades and be awakened
from his dreams by the hiss of e copper
head or the alarm of rattlesnake. He did
not on starting out for social call, find that
his oyercoat was covered with cockroaches
while a small army of feas were playing
hop, skip and jump up and down his spinal
column. 1t is fair to presume that Mr.. Noah
had no such experiences, else he would have
abolished the whole tribe of insects, rodents
CANNES and felines, besides numerous other
plaques that the present flesh is heir to
Charity, therefore, induces US to the belief

The Murray season.

The Murray company closed an engage
ment in st. Paul last night lasting the best
part of three weeks. They have presented
to the public comedy, farce, spectacle and
melodrama. They have placed every play
attempted in manner somewhat foreign to
the st. Paul public-with scenic effects
rarely seen in this latitude. The actors and
the actresses have labored hard and consci-
entieusly to render the characters assigned
to them in an acceptable manner. We
think they Lave done well. Indeed,
there have been few stock
companies in the country for the past
five years that have presented as uniformly
good performances in a dramatic sense as
those given by Mr.. Murray's company, and
none that have mounted them better. We
regret that the st. Paul public has failed to
appreciate them. There may have been de-
partures from conventional rules on occa-
sions, but as a whole the performances have
been such as to call from the best critics the
enconium of 'good.' The performers are
ladies and gentlemen who have earned a
stable place in the profession which they
have assumed, and in their st. Paul engage
meEt they have fully sustained that reputa-

The closing drama, "The Three Guards
men," was presented in manner that calls
only for praise. Miss Garland was royal in
her Interpretation of the role Ann of Aus
tria, and deserved all the
plaudits she received, though
from but meagre audiences. Mr. Bryton
acted his role in manner that could elici:
only praise. Miss Baker had a keen appre-
citation of the character of Constance, and
Mrs. Mexican was all that could be required
in the character of Lady &c Winter. We
are sure the actors did all that could be ex-
pected of them; we regret 10 say that the
public did not do as much.
