THAT TAmmlNY SOCIETY INJUNCTION.

Tue Question Raised to the Right OF
Judge Barnard To Grant the Injunction.
Alter repeated pOstp0nements the matter OF the
temporary Injunction against the Tammany Society,
granted by Judge Barnard upon the application OF
Jonn Scott reached yesterday the stage OF q pre-
liminary nearing before Judge Barrett, at Supreme
Court Chambers. The nature OF this Injunction Is
well known, 1t having been called forth through
the Sachems OF the Tammany Society passing o
resolution prohibiting the asey elected members OF
the Democratic General Committee from holding
meetings IN the Tammany building. A similar
prohibition, 1t will be remembered. was sought to
be enforced against the Young Democracy In which
case, however, the injunction did not hold. The
present matter came up on an order to show cause
why the injunction should be continued.
Mr.. ]. VanderpO0l insisted that there was fatal
objection to the Injunction as granted by Judge
Barnard-the fact that he was cOrporator OF TAM
many society and therefore party in interest.
He read an affidavit to this effect or Mr.. Douglass

wholly void the Injunction and tnat any argument
In the matter was useless.
Mr. Devlin protested against any such conclu.

Columbian Order. Its corporate title, he urged was
a charitable society, and that for this reason the
objection raised against Judge Barnard was invalid.
He enlarged at considerable length on this point
which Mr. Devlln read, and then proceeded to show;
that Judge, Barnard had no pecuniary interest in
the Tammany Society.

The Judge stated that 1t was clear in his own
mind that II Judge Barnard was an incorporation he
was incompetent TO grant the injunction.
Mr. Devlin said he would get certificate from
Judge Barnard on the subject, and asked till next
Monday to produce the certificate.
Mr. Vanderpool replied that he had notified the
opposing counsel that he would bring up this pre-
llminary objection, and that the counsel ought to
have prepared himself TO meet It, Further than this

Kisses and Kissing.

Long before poets sung, or bards
Joined voice to melody, when the world
was young, although men and manners
were Of the old school, we have every
reason to suppose that kissing was us

in the universally of kissing rests upon

under the sun, and human nature now
has not maternity improved or deterio.

years ago. Men still love, admire, re.
spect aud esteem. Women yet enter.
tain similar sentiments aud emotions.
The kiss in the abstract is thought TO
be simple 10 its nature; but, 10 fact, il
is exceeding complex. Experience has
taught US that kisses are not localized.
Like currents in current.pie, they too
are scattered to suit the within Of ever
devotoe. The lips, though generally
associated with the idea OF kissing, are
not the sole recipients. The forehead
cheeks and hand, all come 10 for share
Of the honor. Aud each one has 10 the
right peculiar value and significance Of
its own. There exists in this matter a
certain osculosophy which is undreamed
OF ia the philosophy of many.

There is another modification of this
kiss when you rase your own hand to
your mouth aud kiss it. This kiss has
history above all others. Men used
to salute the heavenly bodies by kissing
the hands. A passage in Job illustrates
this. lu Greece and Rome, the custom

A Little Boy Lost in the Forest.

A week ago the mercury stood at zero,

sprung up, and the air was filed with
snow'f fakes making it very cold. A Ger.
man citizen, named Hooprich, started 10

saw the direction he took, and after he had
gone some time slipped out OF the gate and
followed. The father returned at noon,
not having seen the child He was missed ,
but supposed to be at some neighbor' s
house, aud was not hunted for until towards
night. He could not be found, and the

renewed. just before noon the little fell
