From tho Union Of T~hursday.l
Yesterday complaint was made at
the station-house by Mrs. Stott, re-
siding on Second street, between X
and L, against a woman who proclaims
herself a Gypsy fortune teller-"The
seventh child Of the seventh genera
ton" According to the complaint,
the fortune-teller called at Mrs. Stott's
residence yesterday forenoon, accom-
panied by another woman, and, repre-
senting herself to have remarkable
powers, offered to tell Mrs. Stott's for
tune. The latter laughed at the pro-
posal, but her younger sister, for the
sake Of amusement, concluded to have
her future revealed, and accompanied
the Gypsy to another apartment tor tho
purpose. The price to be paid was
originally fixed at so cents, but after
wards increased to 81, which tho wo-
man received. After telling some
nonsense, the Gypsy requested the girl
to take or her ring, and hold 1t In her
palm, wishing meanwhile for what
ever she might desire. This done, she
took the ring, saying that she would
keep It two or three days, consult the
planets, and charm 1t, so that the wish
should be obtained. The girl demurred
to this proposition, and told Mrs. s.,
who demanded that the ring be re-
turned. The Glpsy refused unless she
was given IS in Its stead then reduced
her demand to 81 and then to So. Mrs.
Stott continued firm, stating that the
fortune teller and her friend should
not leave the house until the ring had
been produced. One Of the women as
saulted her, but she kept her from do
ing injury, and blew q whistle for n
policeman. This frightened the Gypsy
into giving up the ring, and she was
allowed to 20, but before doing so she
applied to the inmates Of the house the
foulest epithets. The prophecies has
been arrested for violating city ordi-
nance No. 1G9, relative to tho using OF
bad language.

If that child had been climbing up

right, but he wasn't. He was a nice
clean little child and wanted to wipe
his face, and got hanged. Cleanliness
was the cause Of his death. He wasan

fleet that he Is a cherub now, and keeps
his feathers clean without running any

Friday night two men, well-known
In sporting circles, had q dispute about
the game named after tho hard. hearted
Egyptian who refused to let tho israe-
lites 60 to tho Promised Land. Ono
OF the mon struck the other In the face
with his fist producing a sensation In
the mind of tho smitten man, who, to
get over on his burly antagonist, took
up a stove hearth and struck him
across the nose and face, cutting open
the $ and cheek, making n cash to
the bone, and about five inches long,
thereby building a head on his man with
celerity-a head that will stay by him
some time. Friends .interfered after
tho fight was all over and conducted
the injured party to his cabin. DR..
Bishop was called In and sewed up the
wounds. The party feels jubilant and
happy, to know he has had II genu-

THE SNOW BLOCKADE.

Again, for a week, We have failed 70
receive any Eastern mall over the
Union Pacific Railroad, owing to the
continued snow blockade on that road
and the present prospect Is that 1t will
BIO a week or two longer before an
Eastern mail gets through. That oad
is practically closed, and has been all
the Winter thus far, there being no
certainty Of passengers or anything
else getting through at any time since
the first blockade. Locomotives, malls
and passengers have floundered about
among the wrecks Of trains and huge
deep snow fields, and occasionally a
train, after much tribulation, has
struggled through. The snow fences
have proved very poordefenees against
snow drifts ; In fact, by many are con-
sidered only dotriment, as actually
creating drifts, instead Of preventing
them. The only practical use they
have been was by the beleaguered pas
sengers In burning them for tirewood.
Previous Winters have shown very
conclusiyely that the road was liable
to DO blockaded even during an ordi-
nary snow storm. and past experience
should have induced better prepara-
tlons against q Winter like this. The
snow line upon that road to be sure Is
very much longer than upon the Cen
trail Pacific, yet had equal energy been
displayed, some better way ~ofkeeping
the road open would have been found.
1t Is an established fact, also, that the
rolling stock, and appliances to re-
move or prevent snow blockades, are
all Inferior to those of the Central Pa
ciHc. and that company has not done
Its part In keeping the great highway
open. This Is very dlscouraging to the
traffic and commerce Of tho world
seeking this trans-continental route,
and leads irresistibly to the conclusion
that some other road must be speedily
constructed and adopted which shall
be devoid Of the wintry blockades and
disabilities now so detrimentally char
acterizing the Union Pacific.
