INTERESTING CAsE.-The case Of d. II.
Evans VS.. J. Z. Richardson, aside from
its rather curious history, has displayed
from time to time some equally curious
novelties in practice. 1t is suit seek
ing the sale, under trust deed, of the
Imperial Billiard Hall, on Main
street. This sale was enjoined in the
Chancery Court, and the injunction suit
gave rise to q prosecution of the defend
ant, Richardson, for perjury, which has
not been disposed of This prosecution
again gave rise to another suit, instituted
by Richardson against Evans, for mali
cious prosecution, claiming damage in
the sum of five thousand dollars. The
injunction was subsequently dissolved,
and the sale ordered to take place yes
terday, the requisite notice having been
given. Thus the case stood with the
sale impending, when, supersedeas
from the Supreme Court, now in session
at Nashville, ordering the suspension OF
all process and interlocutory orders OF
Court until the final hearing was served
upon the parties complainant-and the
sale stopped. This order from the Su
preme Court was procured under sec
tons 1898 and 1884 of the Code, and is
the first instance of the kind, as we are
informed, which has occurred for fifteen
wears past in the practice Of our courts

Ana virtuous and well read they seem to be,
But, yet dear Eva, scarcely worthy thee.
Thy neat attire unmarried by founce or frill,
Thy light brown hair anoat Mt thy wild will,
Thy sculptured lip, brow neither low nor high,
That beauteous gem, thy calm and clear blue eye,
Tell us full well how fair, how pure thou art,
But do not tell us who shall win thy heart.
Safe at my hands this offering thou may'st take,
For though thy presence does my senses wake,
And oft the matchless beauty of thy charms
Inc freezing current in my bosom warns,
Old time my folly does full well betray,
And sprlnkles through my hair the tell tale grey.
And yet would not that 1t eer could be,
Charms such as thine could have no charms for

In full blown beauty mid thy bridal band.
With trembling JOY see thee give thy hand;
But do not see what happy man shall sip
The honey from thy chaste and pouting lip
No fopling, am sure, shall taste such bliss

NEGRO SUPERsTITION.-The Baton

"A grand order seems to have been
issued from the great Fetish of the Woo

work well. AS these Voodoo conjurors
are spreading their 'conjure balls in

the first conjuror caught should be dealt
with according to law.
