A TRICK WORTH Two.-A few days
since, prominent merchant of this city,
who had in handling some goods besmeared
his hands with something very like SCOT,
encountered a friend belonging to the
Metropolitan Police. Extending both hands
in greeting, he grasped the policeman's
digits cordially, but to the horror of the
officer, both the reciprocating hands, on
being Withdrawn from the merchants grasp,
were as black az if washed in Tyrian dye.
The Metropolitan took the joke in good
grace, however, but promised to "be even"
should opportunity ever offer. A day or
two later, the two met on the corner OF
Church and Cherry streets. The man of
business had just been chatting to some
highly esteemed lady acquaintance preVl-
GUS TO getting ready TO leave town, when
the policeman upon whom he had per-
petrated so cruel joke, came hurriedly up,
and laying hand on the shoulder of the
merchant, fercely calculated, "You are my
prisoner, sir! Come" And with that the
merchant was marched off down Cherry
street, the ladies looking on in unspeaka-
BILE astoniahment, and he begging the Of
6cer 20 release him for the sake of his
reputation, if nothing else. The arrest Of
so prominent man drew the attention of
many on the street who knew him, and the
poor fellow was almost distracted at the
thought of the effect il wonld have. At
last the officer relented, and set him at
liberty, remarking with leer as he did so,
that he Thought they were even now"
The merchant, acknowledging "the corn"
fastened back to explain the joke to his
lady acquaintance, who fortunately were
not far from where the sham arrest had
been made. The next time the parties met,
they took a drink at the expense of the
prisoner.

"a ANAN A0AANDA AAAt y AAANAAArs
QufraeeeEs order from Receiver Innes
Hickman Cut on, and che Nash
willie and Northwestern Railroad
Suspended Beyond Union city.
One of the most outrageous orders ever
issued by a petty officer, came from the
Office Of the Nashville and Northwestern
railroad yesterday. The order was sent ont
by Receiver Innes, and suspends the run.
ming Of ali trains beyond Union City, the
border town that marks the Tenaessee and
Kentucky State line, and at which the
Mobile and Ohio railroad forms junction
with the Northwestern road. This cuts off
the Kentackians from two Of the most i'm
portant ihoroughfares in all Tennessee. and
is simply done 10 a mean spirit Of revenge
for the action taken by the city OF Hickman
IN bling an application for an Injunction TO
prevent the issuance Of the State bonds 10
the bogus and irresponsible directory in
whose hands the road has been placed.
The order cuts of eighteen miles of road,
which had been graded before the portion
OF the road traversing West Tennessee was
built, aud to the completion Of which the
city Of Hickman subscribed fifty thousand
dollars.
The feeling aroused by the Wholesale
usurPation already in vogue is intense, and
1t Is even doubtful that Gov. BrownloW,
notwithstanding his aspirations for the
Vice Presidency of the United States and
the necessity of pulling every Radical
string to that end, will longer sustain the
new directory. 1t is asserted that he will
not order the issuance of a single dollar in
bonds until the courts act, and the only
crumb of comfort which the new concern
has to pick at is their confident belief that
Judge Trigg at Knoxville. has no jurisdic-
ton and cannot grant the injunction asked
for by the Kentuckians.

The Secretary of the Treasury has an
nounced that the three per cent. certificates
are redeemable in greenbacks. The Secre-
tary will disburse the balance, 1000, 900,
of three per cent. certificates in payment of
compound interest notes which mature next
month. This movement of the Treasury
Department will not have a very important
bearing Oh the future course of the money
market, as it will place a; the disposal of
the banks S24, 000 900 in active legal money,
in exchange for S24,OOO,OOO of compound
interest notes which have also ceased to be
available for active circulation as money.
The amount of compound interest notes
which mature the 18th Of next month, is
about S46,000,O0O, which, with accrued in
terest, will aggregate abont $55,OO0,O00 to
be paid in three per cent. certificates, or in
currency, as the Treasurer may elect, at
current prices.

THE VULTUREs OF THE LAw.--One day
of the Christmas holidays, two young men
at Trenton tied to the tail of a NANCY cur a
pack of lighted fre-crackers, and the af-
frighted animal tearing through the town
with the exploding peppers dangling from
his abbreviated narrative, scared four
horses attached to a wagon which was being
loaded with -four. The horses immedi-
ately set of on their own account, and
the driver, in attempting to stop them, was
thrown out and sustained fracture of the
leg. One of the horses was killed, the
three others were more or less injured and
the wagon and contents were demolished.
The owner of the wagon brought suit
against the young men for $4,000 damages.
The driver also brought suit, and the de-
PENDANTS then induced the complain
ants to agree to withdraw the suits, by
paying all damages and doctor bills, but
the attorneys for the compliments now re-
fuse to withdraw the suits, demanding their
per centage of the damages which jury
would doubtless award. The point in
yolVed is, whether lawyer can continue
suit contrary to the wishes of his cliant
simply to secure the full fee which he
would lose by the dismissal Of the case

terrible Struggle Between n Husband
and Wife-She slabs Him Five Times
and Nearly Sewers HIS Arm.

terrible Struggle Between n Husband
and Wife-She slabs Him Five Times
and Nearly sewers His Arm
About one o'clock Sunday morning, an
affair of painfully tragic nature occurred
in little house on west Broad street, The
home Of a carpenter in the employ of the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad, named
Quint McWright. At the hour mentioned,
his ~ife was sitting zap, awaiting his re-
turn, and when he came in he was no crazy
with liquor az to be unable TO realize his
surroundings He ordered her to get him
something 10 eat, and in obedience TO his
mandate she took a candle and went into
the kitchen. Following her, as she was
stopping over the stove, he commenced
beating and choking her numerically. In
attempting TO rise, she seized hold of table,
and her hand accidentally comingin contact
with large carving knife, she at cRce
seized il and began a vigorous defense,
slashing the sharp blade into his left arm,
cutting through the muscle TO the bone,
and nearly seYering the limb. Following
mp the advantage thus gained, the little
woman-for little woman she was, weigh
ing only ninety-6ve pounds-thrust The
knife into his back four times, cutting az
many frightful gashes, and completely
soldering him.
He left the house, and yesterday morn
ing his wounds were dressed at Captain
Bridges barber shop on Church street,
near the depot, by DIR. j. III. Oney, who
pronounced them serious, and thought am
putation of the mangled arm might
become necessity. He was subse-
quenty arrested by officer Skies,
Of the Metropolitan Police, and
at police headquarters was released on his
own recognizance, having trumped up a
story that he had been set upon by party
Of negroes, whom he alleged had waylaid
him on his route home.
Yesterday morning he failed to make his
appearance, and it is believed he has fed
the city. His wife asserts that what she
did was purely in self-defense, and she has
not been arrested. Moonlight is a large
man, weighing two hundred and fifteen
pounds, and would doubtless have killed
his wife had she not resorted to desperate
measures.

A FEATURE OF NASHVILLE HOTELS -
Oae Of the peculiar features of Nashville

hotels, and there seems 70 be no means Of
getting nd of them. LoaieEs Of any sort
are detessable, and lazy negroes are by no
