Hunter Adj0urns His Court In Disgust at
the Libeileus Articles Against Him.
MEMPHIS, March 49, 1868.
Judge Hunter, OF the Criminal Court, has ad-
journed that tribunal as he alleges In consequence
of the pressure OF lbelous articles which rendered
1t impossible for the Judgment OF the court to be
enforced, and that one offender who had been
committed was Illegally discharged In COMPANY
with other desperate men who had sought to take
his life; therefore, the court stands adjourned until
such distractions to its administration OF justice are
removed. The press here ridicue his action and
assertions, especially his charge that the release OF
the editor OF the Avalanche by Judge Waldron under
writ OF habeas corpus was illegal.

become q relish for the gourmand;
cheese, once the shePAerd's only
food, is now an entremet after many
courses; fruit, once the only food of
the early denIzens OF. the world, Is
now the mere browning pleasure Of a
dinner. Fruit requires DO human
cooking; the great stationary fire has
cooked it to a turn. 1t has been bast-
ed with the dews, the soft, halmy
lSummer rain has been its sauce Its
flavor has been mixed by the minis
tering spirits of garden and orchard;
its color and shape are of a lasting
fashion; it contains essences
discovered, and wines as yet I'M
dreamed of; it is older than outlet,
and anterior to ~fricandeau; its seed
blew to US from Eden, or fell to US
from the a~maranthine gardens. Tur-
tie soup is sublime, and there are
ragouts which exercise a moral,
and psychological influence over
the world; but they are earthly,
their component parts are known;
there is not the mystery about them
that appertains to fruit. Really, to
enjoy fruit, one should pick his W
and eat it in appropriate scenery, un-
der the tree from which it is gathered,
or beside the bush wherein it has
grown. The pear reached down from
the plant bough, where it has long
swung like a golden weight for Nam
mons scales, tastes as much better
than the same fruit cut by a silver
knife, at a formal dessert, as a damsel
does; than its humble rustic cousin,
the sloe; the strawberry has its finest
fragrance only when discovered un-
der It's own triple leaves. When is
the raspberry } delicious as when
plucked from the struggling canes?
The apple should be twisted from its
fostering twig; the grape bunch nip
ped from the ragged brown branch
bound to the greenhouse rOOf.-AU
