Raising the Blockade.
\
The raising of the encw blockade
which hs left Omaha without com
munication with the east , except by
the old reliable Wabash line , for the
past week was raised yesterday.
Saturday night two traits came In
over the Rock leland fromDes Moines
and two through trains arrived ever
the C. , B. & Q. Yesterday three
trains came in over the Rock Island
and one over the C. , B. & Q. , the lat
ter btsing two hours lato. A train
was expected over the Northwestern
last night. The Rock Island train
brought in three cars of mail matter.
The west bound train on the U P.
left about 1:30 p. m. with eleven cars ,
an unusuftlly large train for this sea
son of tbe year.
The present blockade is certainly
proving the most distrous yet "exper
ienced by western railroads , and it is
stated that in most places the snow is
packed dev < a very t'ghily &nd will
havo'to bo shoveled out by hand when
an attempt to open I ho track Is
made , and when trains will be run
ning Egaia with the religious regular-
ityk maintained by them in summer ,
is a question not easily answered , and
not even attempted by railroad men.

"Say Boss , are yon a feller as puts
things in the nowspapar ? " asked an
over-grown darkey at the depot yes
terday , of a BEE reporter awaiting the
arrival of the eastern ttain.
"Yes , " replied the uowspiper man , '
I do something of the kind once In a
while , do you know arythlng ? "
"Yes , Iiow muA will you glvo for a
good piece of newtl' *
"Oh that depends , " s-ud the re
porter , " I wouldn't give much for an
ordinary dog fight , nor a common
every day runaway , nor a saloon fight
but if you can divulge anything in the
way of asensation , , an elopement or
suicide , jon will earn enough chewing
tobacco to last yon a month , confer a
lasting favor on mo and relieve a loni
snffe'ring public. " -
"Now white man , " said the darkey
"you am tonchen a pint as am no
ways familiar to me , pid snmfin .
don't know nuffcn about , fo'de Lawd
but whst I do know m mighty extraordinary
traordinary seldom , I cm toll you
and no foolin' . "
"Whatisitl"
" 'Bout catasaeakin' , talklr. ' as me

"What do they say ? "
"Why they jlst go on an' tell o
their trouble and satisfactions ; 'bou

"But hold on , Andrew Johnston ,
what do they say ] "
"Why ain't I a tellin * you as fast as
ever the Lawd'll let me1' ?
Yes , bet if you want this put in. the
paper yon -n ill have to tell it wcrd for
word , " eaid the reporter , producing
book and pencil. .
"Well , I was settin' out on de poacl
one cbnon , kind o' restin' and listen'n
to.do crickets and de bull frogs , ant
watchin1 de moon as it wn whizzen
frough de clouds , and was thinkin' o
going to bed , as it WF ? gottin' Hto
when all of a sudden two Tom cat
tumbled over de fence and commencec
sknlkin * round da back yard. Findin
they couldn'C get into no meanness n
way , they squatted dowa and com
mencsd relatin' their speriences
One was a Dutch cat an * t'other was
Irish , full blood. "
"How in the world did you fim
that out ] " Inquired the man of th
Fiber. "You musthave * been dream
ing. "
"White man , don't'fool yourself on
dat , dis coon has read a mighty heap
ono ob dem cats , de Dutchman , want-
ted to raise an Atoiy au _ ' go an' clein
out co Jchn Balls in short order. He
said dat de Boers had been 'buacl
long enough and dat suthcn mast be
done , and the Irish cat jes * held out
his band to do Dutch rit and said ,
'Shake , pard , I'm wid ye dar , lets
jino Paruell and make a clean weeo
of 'em. ' But dat are attempt at hand-
shaken caused a mighty big rumpus ,
I kin tell you. "
"How ? "
"Why , do Dutch cit , which had
been specious , sorter , all along ,
thought the Irish cat was aimln * a lick
at him , and jumped back in a second
and says , 'Now eeo heab , pard , don't
come none of your Irish tricks on dis
chile ; I's been roun' heah tco long.
I hain't ; 'scaped all de boot jacks in
Omaha , an' shot gnus , an" dogs , an *
mop-sticks , an" old women , and fell
down chimneys an' durnod nigh got
roaatod , to come here and bo 'posed
on by you , you low-brod , dirty , stink-
Jn' egg-suckeu son of an cr aa grind
er. Got yourself in fightm" conditicn ,
I'm coin' to tack'l you right away. ' "
Then you'd ought to seen that Irish
cat ; ho raised the hair en his back ,
cpit on his hands and slapped his
sides with his tail , faUer'n ten men
conld count , and said , "Now , you
onery cuss , you'd bettor make ar
rangements for quiltin * this mortal
clay and meotin' the ruler of the uni-
vara , and 'pint somebody to write
your funeral poetry , for there won't
ba enough left of you to make a spot
of grease after I'm through with you ;
I'm goin" to lick yon , you infernal
two faced , caterwaulon , uneducated ,
backolidiii' hypocrite taka that ! "
And ( hen he made a jump at the
Dutch cat , his oyca fliahen flames of
fire as long as your arm. But the
Dutch cat wasu't aleopeu , for ho made
a jump into the air and cjmo down
right sqnare oa top of the Irish cat's
back , makou the fur fly , and then
they rolled over nnd the Irish cat got
on top , and then they pot so mixed
with ono another that they looked
like they was alHn ono and I couldent
tell nothon about it Then they quit
talken in English and took to swoaren
in gennino cat Latin. I guess they
can express their feelens better in tha"
language than in any other. They
used the same words ( hat they do
when two of 'em are tied by the tail
and hung on a close lino.
"How did it end ? " asked the re
porter.
"Well , " replied the darkoy , picking
up the stub of a cigar , "they kept
geten wns and wus 'till I couldn't
stand it any longer , so I reached for
a crooked stick ot steve wood end fell
out of the clnir and when I got up
and looked around the dnrncd cats
had jumped the fence and skipped ;
got any loose chasge about you j"
The reporter cave him a bogus qnar-

FLOYD'S FKIEND3 ,
The Gallant Colonel Surpris
ed in His Own Strong
hold.
He Surrenders at Discretion.
The number of men In Omaha who
are not personally acquainted with the
genial face and handsome figure of
Col. E. B. Floyd , who ia the Chief
Aid de Camp of Mr. M. A. McNa
mara , is , wo venture to say very
small.
Col. Floyd Is from December 31st
to January 1st , that is to say from
ono years end to tbe other , always to
bo found at his post tha simo court
eous , gentlemanly , obliging person
age. Nothing ever ruffles tha seren
ity of his temper , and ho serves every
man as though he vero a prince ,
though ho be anything but the gentle
man in his conduct. We believe
the colonel has the unlimited confi-
denc-3 and esteem of every man who
has the pleasure of his acquaintance ,
and thus it happened that as the days-
rolled around with their varying sun-
ehino and storm the 4th of March
brought the colonel the forty-fourth
anniversary of his birth , his friends
cast about them for a suitable way o :
ezpresiing their esteem and leaving
with him & pleasant souvenir of the
day.
gJFriday about six o'clock abou'
sixty f gentlemen had assembled a
Mr. McNamara's , and , the Colonel
being in entire inncconco of any plo
agaic.st him , was called out in front o
the visitors by Mr. J. J. Neligh , who
with a few complimentary prefatory
remarks , said that it being a well-
known fact that ho had gallantly
served his country in the late civi
war as colonel of the 19th Now York
infantry , his friends hid detorminac
to present him with a rniuoatuie
sword as an emblem of tha mlght'er
weapon which he had so bravily
wielded on many a blocdy battle
field in .defense of tbe stars am
stripes. Mr. Neligh then handet
him a tin toy sword , costing abou
twenty-five cents. The colonel ac
cepted the gift , thinking a good joke
had been played upon htm , and tha
was all there was to the affair.
At this moment , however , Col. E
F. Smytho stopped to the front and
in nn excellent manner alluded to the
colonel's high place in the esteem o
his friends and to tha hope they al
had that he might sco many happy re
turns of the auspicious occasion
after which he closed by saying : "Col
Floyd , you are now surrounded by a
number of ycur friends , and in the
bosom of each ono there beats a warm
heart , and in each heart there glistens
a spark beaming forth with the friend
ship they bear you , and it is as brigh
and as brilliant as this little token
which I now present yon. "
He thereupon handed the Colone
a beautiful solitaire diamond ring ,
whosa glittering facets were reflected
in the teir-drops that dimmed the
eyes of the surprised recipient who
could only hud strength to offer the
usual recognition of courtesy. He sur
rendered unconditionally and even to
day is so proud of his gem of a pres
ent that he can only show it to those
who ask concerning the affair.
The ring cost nearly § 200 and was
purchased of Messrd. Edholm &
Erickson , by a number of friends in
cluding ; our most prominent citizens
and excluding many who regret that
the entire gift was not their own ex
pression of regard for an elegant gen
tleman.
