How A Doc WAS REBuKED by A PAR
RoT.--A gentleman living near this village,
says the Port Jeryis Union, has n parrot
who knows good deal more than the law
allows. Last summer friend of his whose
name we withhold for obvious reasons, called
at his house one day. A valuable young
dog, II pointer, was with him. The two
gentlemen sat on the porch smoking, and
the parrot, which is very tame, was seated
in an interstice in the trellis about the porch
The dog was lying On the floor at his mas
ter's feet, and finally his attention was called
to the bird, which was looking steadily at
him. The dog sprang up, drew on the par
rot and fastened. There he stood, still as
statue, for full three minutes, when the par
rot, with a contemptuous flirt Of his feath-
ers, screamed at him $50 home, you cussed
fool" The dog dropped tail and ears, wheeled
round and struck u Decline over the fields for
home. Since that time he has refused To
point q bird

And we laughed and kissed each other,

In our siXties-open meadows
Now beguile our wandering feet
Memory's orchards, forests, blossoms,
Fields and skies were ever sweet.
But we best love aster's sapphires
And lobelia's spikes of flame,
While our hearts, like autumn's NAPLES,
Burn md glow, for each the same.

After wadng creeks and muddy bottoms

down to supper of mush and milk. Being
invited to draw up, he sat down alongside
of Sally. The old lady offered him large

take Not making sufficient allowance for
the size Of his hands, he struck the big
milk pitcher. Out went the milk over the
table, and out went Sally from the room

Tie,cs of an Old Settler.
To the Editor of the Globe.

s1 7o'cLocK Tuesday 26th.
I've Just been over to see how the floating
vote looks in the Sixth ward. i encountered
several Old Settlers, such az Tom O'Dell, Ex-
Mayor Bell, Ben Bronson, and Col Uline.
They MI agree with me that the water in 1858
was six feet higher than it is now-within
three feet Of the presentlevel of Bridge street,
which was not then graded 1t was raised to
its present height and graded aflerward by ST.
Paul. The water when six feet hi. her rolled
over the flats with quite u current, and vet no.
body was hurt, ami only some half dozen
houses were turned over. The water might
rise six feet higher than it now is, and there
would be SO littlescurrent in consequences OF
Bridge street acting as breakwater, that there
would be no damage to life and property, if
carpets and furniture were removed from the
lower floors. se1e3 -slaa - 1iea -
There seems to be no cauee, therefore, for
any alarm or panic-espec since the water
In the Minnesota is SAID to be falling, while
there is but slight rise In the Mississippi. /
have been here twenty-sx years, and write
this for the benefit of new corners who have
not seen the floods of The o1len times. When
there are floods everywhere FIVE hundred
houses under water at Council Bluffs, parts of
Carver and Mankato overlooked, and almost
every town on the Minnesota more or less af
fected, it is not to be expected that West ST.
Paul would be the only Ararat.
