FIRE AT SAN FRANCISCO.
The LOSS Estimated at S10O,OO0-AbOut
Half Insured.

At II 30 yesterday morning fire broke out
in the block bounded by Clay, Commercial,
Sansome and Leidersdorff streets, San Fran
CISCO and in a few minutes one of the big
gest fires of the year was raging. The block
is composed If some IF the oldest brick
buildings in the city, and was occupied by
the Call and Bulletin newspaper offices;
Francis Valentine & Co., printers; the Bos-
qui Printing and Engraving Comps ny
Blake, Moffitt & Townes, paper wal ehouse;
E. J. Shattuck & Co., ink IhIn,tarirr
the Commercial Steam Power Contrary and
numerous smaller concerns. Every engine In
the city was called out, AMI it IVES over
two hours before The lire was out.
Fire Marshal Towne estimates the loss at
$4,000, insurance half that amount, hut the
proprietors of the concerns bLrne1 out say
the loss is much iess and will not be over
100000. A large rortion Of the block was
destroyed. The Bulletins Two editorial and
composing rooms ;Ire L complete wreck and
the Calls presses are injured by water,
but the fire will not interfere with the publ
cation Of the papers. All insurance offices
were closed, and a statement Of the insur-
ance could not be obtained.

Cheap Wit.

From Harper's Bazar.
There is class OF people not otherwise
objectionable to whom one feels continual
ly inclined to recommend the study of the
English language. The language they use
verges on slang. but is mostly like the
White Knights pudding" an invention of
their own, which they weakly regard as
humorous Their term for the ocean is al
ways the mill pond or the "briny deep. /"
They never step on land, but on terra
frna." They gaze at the starry frma-
ment' instead of looking at the sky. And
they meet their friends only upon THE
Rialto."
They never ask You to dinner but Ito
grace the festal board" Their home is al
ways their wine and fig tree" and their
children are only their "olive branches"
Such cheap wit is far more tiresome than
slang. Slang is sometimes picturesque. and
may be rebuked as the genuine article when
IL gets too pronounced. The misguided
wretch who invariably calls his clothes
his garb' thinks he is funny. IT you find
him tiresome he thinks you priggish.
For the young lady who thought it vulgar
to go to bed" and only retired" one can
feel pity. Our WEAKNESS for the man who
forever turns in" reaches at last unto dis
gust. He considers the simple terms of the
language beneath him.
