STREET SAYINGS.

On dit, that a certain Wabasha street
auctioneer has been following the wife of
another man around secretly for several
weeks past and bangs around the windows
OF their residence until late in the night.
This fact has not become known to the man
and his wife, who are highly respectable
people, vet The auctioneer is a married
man and the father of three children,
which renders his conduct all the more open
to criticism. 1t is further limited that a
company of young men are on to the
auctioneer in large shape, and if he contin
ues his nocturnal prowlings he is liable to
receive dose OF medicine that he won't
relish.

In conversation with Sayings yesterday
an old citizen said that the last damaging
flood that had visited the West side was in
1880, when the damage ran up into the
thousands. Water stood over eight feet
deep all over the flat and invaded the
houses, destroying furniture and carrying
away buildings of small caliber. 1t is
claimed that these floods have covered the
flats about once in fourteen years. ''And
if history repeats ITSELF" said the citizen,
who is West-sider. I'VE will probably get
that levee built just about soon enough to
head off the next invasion Of waters"

A gentleman from Montana yesterday
said that altogether too large stories had
been told of the bravery of the wife of the
Marquis de Mores, in killing the bear. ''It
is true" said he, "'that the lady did kill
bear, but the hunting party, composed of
several gentlemen of well-known ability as
huntsmen, corraled a couple of cubs, and
then stood back while the lady banged
away at them until they were dead"
