MTB A CLARK Q Alt-23. Th!s pluckiest of litigants, and a decided ornament In many respects to her race and sex, died at New Orleans at 10 o'clock Friday night. She always managed her own lawsuit?, and possessed a wonderful amount of grit and perseverance, tact and superior ability. She was eighty years of age, having been born In New Orleans in 1&Q5. Her father, Daniel Clark, was an Irishman. He was bom in Sllgo, and emigrated ta New Orleans, where he inherited some property, and acted as United States Consul there when Louisiana was a territory. He afterwards represented the territory in the United States Congress. He died in New Orleans, August 1G, 1313, and his estate was disposed ol under the provisions of a will, which gave the property to his mother, Mary Clark, who had followed him to Apierica, and was living at Germantown, Vs. His budness partners, Half and Clew, werei the executors. Clark was reported a bachelor, but was known to have had a liaison with a young French woman during the absence of her reputed husband in Europe. Two daughters were born of this connection, one in Philadelphia in April, 1S02, the other, Myra, in New Orleans. The latter was taken to the house of Colonel Davis, a friend of Clark's, nursed by a Mrs. Harper, and in 1312 went with Davis' family to reside in Philadelphia, where she passed by the name of Myra Davis. In 1S30 Davis, being then in the Legislature, sent home for certain papers, and Myra in searching for them discovered so aae letters which partially revealed the circumstances of her birth. InlSS2she married W. W. Whitney, of New York, who in following np the discovery, received from Davis an old Istter which gave an account of a will made by Daniel Clarke in 1S13. jnst before his death, giving all his estate to Myra, and acknowledging her as his legitimate daughter. Whitney and hiswL'e went to Matanzss, Cuba, saw the writer of the letter, and after collecting other evidence instituted suit to recover the estate, which included some of the most valuable property in New Orleans. On the trial of one of those causes, Mrs. Harper testified that four weeks before his death, Clark showed her the will he had just made in favcrof Myra, permitting her to read it from beginning to end, and acknowledging the child's legitimacy. Damn Dolsfontaine testified that Clark told him the contents of the will and acknowledged the child. On this and other similar evidence the lost or destroyed will was received by the Supreme Court of Louisiana as the last will of David Clark. By the law of Louisiana a testator can not make devises to his Illegitimate offspring. It was proved by two sisters of Myra's mother that Clark privately married her in 1803, a Catholic priest officiating, she having previously learned that Des Granges, her supposed husband, had a prior wife living, and was therefore not legally her husband. Clark's contemplated acknowledgment of the marriage was said to have been frustrated by suspicions of her fidelity, and deserted by him she contracted a third marriage. In another suit, another United States Supreme Court decided that the fact of the marriage and the legitimacy was established. Mr?. Whitney survived her husband and married General Gaines, and survived him also. In 133 the filed a suit In the United States Supreme Court to recover valuable real estate then in possession of ths city of New Orleans, and a decision in her favor was rendered in the December term, 1SC7. This substantially concluded one of the most celebrated cases ever tried. The value ef the property claimed was estimated in 1S61 at $35,000,000, of which Mrs. Gaines had, npto 137 1, obtained possession of $'3,060,000, and numerous actions for ejectment weie still in progress. OUR GAME AND FISH LAWä. The Journal says, truly enough, that "our game and fish laws need to be enforced," and adds that they are "as dead as the laws for the regulation of the liquor traffic." Without stopping to inquire how dead the latter laws may be, we may suggest that the game laws are by no means wholly or generally disobeyed, and even the fish laws, much less regarded than their companion statutes, have been so far respected in "some sections as to effect a considerable addition to the population of our streams. Still they have not accomplished one tithe of what they should and could with due enforcement. If no seining or trapping or bomb-killing had been practiced since the last amendment of these laws, some half-doz9n years ago, it is demonstrable, mathematically, that there would have been in White Elver alone a supply of bass and other excellent marketable fish, sufficient to feed every family in Indiana three days in a week, at half the cost of batcher's meat. So we need a better enforcement of the fish laws, nst only because they are law and it is a duty to enforce them, but because they will serve more 'effectively than any charitable organization, or any practicable amount of benevolent . contributions, the necessities of the poor and the unemployed. They will give us cheaper meat than any ether agency whatever, and do it sooner. The came laws are better enforced, or at least more effectively obeyed, than the fiih laws. Part cf this favorable result Is no doubt due to the fact that, shooting can't be manazed as secretly as ssininp. TLe hunter can be discovered when he can't bs teen, but the law'es3 fiaaeru.an can't, though the latter often carts little for the advantages. General T. A. Morris, who has done more, probably, than any man in the State except Alex. Lanier, of Madison, to establish our present system of game and fiih protection, says that ssinlng has been carried so far at Turxey Lake that the fish ere nearly all pone. More than 100 beats v ere uen at ois time there ths pi5i

summer, eeinicg in defiance of the law. The dicregarchef the game law Is far las opan and general than the fish laws, as before suggested, and the 1 ffect is seen in a very fair animal supply of quails and prairie chickens. The former, It ii slid, are decidedly more numerous than they were before the game laws were parsed.

INSTANT REMEDY FOR POISONING. As this !s an impartant mstter we give It prominence. The following is declared to be a cur for poison of whatever kind taken into the stomach: A heaping teaspoonfal of common eait; the tame of ground mustard, etirred rapidly in a teacup of water, warm or cold, and twallcwed instantly. It is scarcely down bf lore it begins to come up, bringing with it the lereidning contents of the etomach; and lest any remnant of the poison remain, let the white of an egg, or a teacup of strong coffee, be swallowed as soon &i the stomach is quiet. The same treatment is also recommended where a person hss fallen into convulsions from an overloaded stomach. Theme seems to be a good deal of repressed excitement among the more Protestant ministers of the Protestant Episcopal Church about ths act of Assistant Bishop Potter, of New York, in publicly receiving young Mr. Huntington's vows of poverty, celibacy and obedience, aud admitting him to fi socalled Order of the Holy Croai. It is annourced that ho will soon mike a public statement with reference o the matter. PBESIDXXT-2LECT CtEVKLAND WÜ1 be 61pected to open the inauguration ball. Yet it is said he does not know how to dance. But certainly he has seen enough people dancing attendance on him to learn very easily. 1 Heavy Decline. The prices of. provisions have declined remarkably since 1870. The American Grocer gives the quotations year by jear since that time. The decline la very great. The Grocer Bays: A glance at the comparative prices of leading articles of food for the past fifteen yer3 evidently supporU the theory that we have arrived ct an era cf permanent low prices. The decline has bten continuous throughout the period mentioned, necessitating a readjustment in the economy of every-day affairs. Prices have, daring the period under review, several times fallen to a point regarded as below the coat ot production. Still, through the agency of new iuventions. Improved methods of cultivation, cheaper labor, reduced rates of transportation, lower rates of interest and other causes, producers and manufacturers have been enabled to reduce first cost. If prices dropped below cost, instead of quarreling with the times, e Horts were directed to bring the cost below the current market price. The enormous increose in the production of beet root sugar and glucose, and the introduction of the centrifugal machine in the refining of the raw material, have been-the chief factors in forcing the remarkable decline in sugar. On December 23 fair refining Cuban sugar was 4c, the lowest quotation sine 18515t, when for four years it was, at the same date, 4K. 4K. I. 4 y.c respect! velv. In 1813 it soldatSc; 1819, 4?Xc; 1850, 4?c In 1870 it cost over 4s per pound to refine sugar, while at present it is done at or below a cost of Kc per pound. The American Grocer quotes, in several tables, the prices of the leading articles of provisions during the past fifteen years. We make the following extracts:

force cf the best known colored citlien? of our country, including eucb. men as Hons. Frederick Douglass, B. K. Bruce, Bev. B. F. Tanner, Judge M. W. Gitta, and thirty-four others.

Indianapolis, Jan. 10, u MIKA CLAICK GAI.XES. Death or the Famooi lIelre(i-FIer Family History aud Ficht for Fortune. x l.w Orixass I--. Jan. 10. Myra Clark Gaines, the heroloe of tbe celebrated Gaines case, died Lcre at ten minutes alter 10 o'clock last night, at t r e rtsider.ee of ber eoa-in-law. Mrs, Gaines was ihe daughter ol Daniel Clark, the first Representative in Cong!es ol L ulsiaaa, and the richest man iu the Stdte at the lima of his death, Mrs. Giines na net informed of her parentapo until she was a grown ttcn&n. As 60on as she knew t'.ls she be;an her cmo for ths recovery of her lather's property. This case is iro aolv the rnoit cxte:j2cd and complice ted Uti?t:on o reco'd U was commenced fully half a century Hso, Ei.d he been turun aner seven times o?cn before the finprene Court of the state four times, and Le'ore the Supreme Court of the United States twice, and is before that body to-dy. Almost every prominent lawyer from Daniel Webster and ChRrles O'Connor down has been employed in it. and fortunes have been eipended in carryins It on. Wr.cn Mrs. Gaines was married to General Edmund Fcndleton Gaines, who goined such a great reputation during tbe war of 1612, his immense fortune of f5C,ce0 was eipended in court charges and lawyers' fees. Mrs. Gaines obtained innumerable judgments, but every cent of money she got tveut to the lawyers. As for the defendants in the case, all were ruined by tae mott protracted litigation ever known, except the city of New Orleans. Two vearsaco Mrs. Gains obtained jadgment in the United States Court here against the city for a rum exceeding S2.5C0.CU0. This case is now on appeal to the United States Supreme Court. The entire litieation has cost not lees than S2.cOO.QOO in court charges and other legal expenses. ir. Gaines always managed ber own caso with great pluck and wisdom, and won her points by her extraordinary pertinacity. 8he often appeared before tbe bar herself and pleaded her cause. It It penerally believed that with her death the case will fall through and 60tae compromise be accepted by her heirs. Mrs. Gaines was a woman of hi?h qualities and of strong Intellect and great generosity. She was nn enthusiast about her cose, and counted on accomplishing some great feat with the money she would get from it. A Mystery Unraveled. Detective Mintzhauser and Chief of Police Williamson, of Chester, says a Philadelphia telegram to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, have just succeeded in unraveling a revolting murder, which at first threatened to bailie the shrewdest detectives. Oa the 29th cf October the body of an Italian laborer, battered and pounded into a mass of bruises, was found in a clump of woods on Stover's farm, near Linwood, on the Baltimore end Ohio Boad. The head was a shapeless rcesf, and owing to this fact it was impossible to recognize the dead man. The moneybelt had teen cut. The case was inquired into as far as pcraible, and a verdict reu lered by the Coroner's jury of "found dead." Everything found on tbe body was carefully kept, 8nd photographs of the body and clothes were taken and freely distributed among the foremen of the numerous railroad gans at work in the neighborhood. Finally the foreman of one of tbe gangs sent word t the Chief of Police that he thought he recognized the body as that of one of two laborers whom he had under him, and that bath of them had die appeared very strangely. He thought the body was that cf Ninisute Campl. lie was closely examined by the ollicers, and his story was substantially as follows: Campl was a hard-working man, and lived in a cabin with Guiseppe Davius. The latter did no work whatever aud was always poor. He lived oJT hia companion, who treated bitn like a brother and never complained of his laziness. Ia explanation cf the affection existing between the two it was said thut they had passed their childhood days on neighboring farms near Naples. They bad come over on the same vessel, and had spent all their days together since their arrival in this conn try. The llicer took to this clew at once and ran it out. A piece of chain found on the body corresponded with a pieco of chain found in the trunk of tb.3 dead rxtm. By a passport found among his eflfcts his native city and also that of his ccrcpanioa wa3 learned. The Italiaa Consul in this city was then taken into the confidence of the officials. He corresponded with the Italian authorities, and found that Davius had arrived in Italy. In the meantime it was found that Davius had gone to New York, and there had purchased a ticket for his native country, When waiting in that city h VdfcLai a new vinVt niia lecmed to have plenty of mosey, hil9 a short time before he had been utterly penrli!&s3. 11 sailed ceveral days after and arrived in his hör on December 5, and at that time ha I $100 in his possession. He proceeded at once to the old homestead and told the relatives cf Campi that after arriving in America he had seen nothing of him. Steps will be taken at onco by tho Delaware County authorities to secure the arrest and extradition of the murderer. llnslaoss Marriage. rXew York World.1 The decision of Justice Brown, of the Sipreme Court, one of the ablest jurists in the State, that a wife may contract a co-partnership with her own husband, as if she were a femme sole, for the purpose of carrying on a trade or business, and that contracts made by stich a Cm are enforcible against the wsfe'a estate, has been looked for with some anxiety by lawyers. It is a decision ouite abreast of the practical tendency of the moment, and It shows with almost startling clearness how far this whole matter of the reflation of the sexes is getting away from the old time ssntiment and beautiful euper.'tition which mad man and wife "oue Üesh." Statutes and legal decisions are he outcome of social conditions, asd the adjudication of women's rights and obligations in the business world only brings n faca to face with the fact that woman is actively in tbe business world, and nothing in the evolution of modem society is so indicative of the utilitarian drift of our time as this. Those matters which our fathers relegated to tbe exclusive domain of affection are row regulated by statute: the relationship of man and wile, which nndr th common law was lost in the husband's identitv, i3 now a matter of contract, specification, agreement and personal rights.It does not yet appear tbat this practical Improvement in matrimonial methods hs reduced the rate of disagreement or lessened the lists of divorces, and it is ju?t possible, after all, thit the union of the sexes upon which tbe framework of society rests must -Itself rest on something more than a bctinesa arrargement P.sllway Bestaurant-Keepsr "Siy, Mike, wbat is tbe matter with this knif?"
