Al Least in the Eye Of the Law.

At an early hour this morning con-
siderable stir was created in various
circles upon the announcement that
ex-Judge james A. Anderson, for
merly public administrator, had ar
rived from CovingtOn, in Upton
county, and that he came under no
legal restraint, or escorted
by his attorneys, Colonel w, L. Duff,
General Luke E. Wright, Colonel
CAN'T, and 7. w. Brown. Upon in
quiry, it was ascertained that Of the
ten Indictments transferred from the
criminal court here to the Upton
county court, one was nolle pressed
and nine were quashed, under the
law as enacted by the legislature of
1875 governing such cases. Judge
Anderson is now a free man, and can
rest quietly in the bosom of his
family.

Eyerybody,s DarTine.


A startling case of domestic infelic-
ity among the colOred sisters was I'M
folded in the police court this morn
ing.
Jane Fields and Carrie Reed were
before the court charged with being
d~isorderly, and using abusive Ian
guage. An attorney, called for con-
venience, the Zone Armed Confeder-
ate Fiddler" was counsel for the pros
ecution, and one designated for the
same reason, as Little Noses" for
the defense.
Jane Fields, whose garb and COM
plsxion were both in deepest mourn.
ing, who displayed wonderful taste
and ingenuity in the arrangement of
her back hair, gave her head a defiant
toss, and bridling up her under
mandible, awaited the action of the
court.
Carrie Reed, maroon colored, aleek,
sauey and with a jaunty hat arranged
on the back of her head and hanging
by a single thread, swayed herself
gracefully backward and forward, al
lowing the toe of a dainty number
eight slipper to peep saucily ftom un-
der her skirts with every motion.
Mrs. Higgins, the prosecutor,
Cqueezed her delicate frame
into a space some five feet square, and
planting her feet firmly on a square
yard of plank, nodded her head to her
lawyer, who twisted his mustache
into a fiercer point and embedded it
under his eye, to get his courage up
to the sticking point. The opposite
attorney stroked his mustache with
one ringed hand, and, Ticking a fly
from the end of his nose with the
other, called in the first witness.
Witness wasa woman, and wenton to
state that the occurrence had taken
place in south Memphis, and gave it
in detail.
One armed, etc.-"You did not see
the disturbance that took place at
Fields house"
Witness.-"No, sir"
One armed, etc.-"You don't visit
Mrs. Higgins"
Witness.-"No, sir" cause the
shoe fits on my foot. The
s-gs-m-pet has got my
husband |"
Prosecutor then testified that de-
PENDANT had met her on the street and
pointed her out as there goes the
woman that got my husband, upon
