Thirty three Feet.
A BASE IMITATION.

The flood" was base imitation. On
Tuesday the river was spoken Of with great
civiIity Of manner, and wss the object OF
deep solicitude to hundreds. Yesterday
concern and respect gave way to ridicule
and general indifference as to whether the
water was rising or not. and citizens who
twenty-four hours before, were sending theii
pianos to places Of safety and piing Their
carpets on the kitchen tables, last evening
laughed the. muddy current to scorn, and
had no end of fun at the expense of those
disgrsced prophets who had distributed
tidings of thirty feet at Pitts
burg" and foretold "forty-fvs feet" at this
point. The man who on Tuesday was loudly
insisting that the food would equal that o
"a" could not be found yesterday, and, il
fact everyone met during the afternoon wa

really thought it would no: 90 over thirty

FUNNY SCENES OF The DAY,

There were plenty Of ludicrous incidents
during the day. A certain young man on
the South Side yesterday afternoon be
thought him that he would see for himself
how fast the water was rising, so he went
down to Wolf s ferry landing, drove mai
in the outside of the float few inches above
the water and then sat down on a spar to
await developments. He sat there over
an hour, and after he had gotten 30 chilly
that he almost shook the small change out
of bis pocket, he found that the water had
made no progress whatever towards the
nail, and he went up town and joyfully
proclaimed that the river had stopped ris.

told a crowd of the boys how he had
worked it, and they guyed him so much
that he went home and kicked himself 1t
was probably this young mans brother
who lost shovel overheard boat going
down the river, and when the captain asked
where it was he said he had lost it over
board but had marked the place on the
stern railing where it had fallen over, 80
when they got back he would be able 70
locate the spot and secure the shovel

Merchants who had devoted consider

their comments on the reports sent out
from Pittsburg during Tuesday. Even as
late as yesterday morning tons upon tons of
merchandise we're hoisted into upper stories
or stacked up on sidewalks, and this property
was still lying shout last night, huge piles
being observable along Fourteenth and
