After -a brisk chase of some distan~e, tbe gentleman on horseback overtook the wonderful creature,-when she halted, and he found ber to be a mediai sized, middle aged, well formed woman, with, long, dark hair, and clea,. 'blue eyes. She *vas in a state of Undity *save a girdle of rey mosa about her kins.

Thie gentleman fol foed, and after goiing souse dis tnce, came upon her bomne.

The Celebrated Gaines Case. The final decision of the suit of Mrs. Gaines'against the city of New Orleans, by the Supreme Court, terminates one of the most extraordinary eses of litigation in the whole history of civiljurispru dence. It is remarkable says the Philadelphia B6ening Bulletin,) in an able revier of the case,) for the curiosity of the case itself; for the large amount ofproperty which it involvs; and fbr the wonderful .display of enduring pertinacity with which the plaintiff has de voted her life'-to: 'the prosecution of what has loug been held to be a .hopeless cause. Seven times has Mrs. Gaines ples4ed her case before the Supreme :curt, sometimes -ith partial skieess, -sometimes with none, -antil, at last, after forty years .6f; incessant litiga tion, she has^'won the day, and establishes her-c4im to a large por tion of the city :of New Orleans, valued, very m4eetly, at $5,000, 000. This fight :bas been- fought by Mrs. Gaines single-handed. Shi has literally-gone through fire and. flood, as -she has traveled over the cotntry, always intent upon t,he one git business of her lifeI With a huodaney of tempera ment that knew.no abatement, with an abidi faith in the"justice of her cause avd- of its ultimate saccess; withYeo'iends and very limited means; Vith life slipping away under the ,ong delays and slow pr6cesses&fj6e law, this tru ly" remarkable "man has pert severid. until se -bas eonquered fortune. A brief otlin Ethis singular. 'asewl b A intere'tin6g t" dur readers: In 1794, Zulinie nee* Car. tiere, a beautiind Creole -of New Orleans; mafried one- Jerome des Granges, in New Orleans. In 1802 or 1803, Daniel Clark,a prominent citizen. of N ew Orleans; became attached-to Madame des Granges, and, about the same time, it is al leged that it was discovered that dAea Granges had a wife. living& i1i France, and that, the seeond mar riage thuf proving void, .Daniel Clark privately married the lady in P.biladelphia. Of thbis na,rriage the present plaintiff claims to have been born in Philadelphia, in 1802 or 1803. :Her mother and herself were committed to the care of her ftiher's frienand partner, -Mr. Daniel W. Coxe, of this-city.. She afierwdrd'hecame an inmate of the family of Colonel SamuelB.Davis, and was known among her school fellows,- some of wborn still reniem ber her, as Myra Davis. When she grew up, it became known to her that her true name was Clark, and she has established the exis tence ofa.will of Daniet Clai-k's, acknowledging her as his legiti mate daughter. Yet her-own mo ther. who, during Clarlk'slifre, mar ried M. Gardette, a well kno.wrn eitizen of Philadelphia,-was. never summoned as a witness byi Mirs. Gaines. anid her father, . Daniel lark, during hia wife's life, ad dressed Miss Caton, of Baltimore, who, however, did not accept his advances. Myra Clark married Mr. Win. Wallace Whitney, of New York. by whom she had'two childr-en, a son, and daughter, still living. After Mr' Whitney's death, she married Gen. Edmund Pendleton Gaines, who died in 1849. One child, the issue of her second mar riage, died in infancy. Daniel Clark owned large tracts of grovnd- within the limits of'New Orleans, whiilr have beedme im mensely valuable. ,More than a thQusand sjiits have been instituted by Mrs. Satiier to recover. these propertgess ipori whieb many of th&finestimiprovenments no-wstands Thpdecision of the Supreine Court only- applies, directly, to three suits, butite roling wilr cover the - TMii aB0S& eUen of si.gU lar intrieacy,'rnd has turned, as will be seen by the above brief statement, upon the question of the legitimacy of Mrs. Gaines. It is but fair to say that even now, after nearly forty years of liti gation, three of' the ablest mem bers of the Supreme Court; Grier, Swayne and Miller, dissent from the conclusions.of the Court. Mark Twain's Turkish Lunch. I never want another one. The cooking apparatus was in the lit te luncheon room near the bazaar, and it was all open to the street. The cook was dirty, and so was the table, and it had no cloth on it. The fellow took a mass of sausage meat and coited it round a wire and laid it on a c-arcoal fire tc cook. When it was done he' laid it aside, and a dog walked sadly up and nipped it. He sm-elt it first, and probably recognized the remains of a friend. The cook took it away from him and. laid, it before us. Brown said, "I pass, He playa euchre sometimes; and we all -passed in return. Then the cook baked 'a broad, flat wheaten cake, greased it well with the sat sage, and started to bring it to us. It. dropped in the dirt, and be pick, ed it up and polished it on theseat of his breeches*and laid it before -us. Brown said, "I pass." We all passed and- ealled a new deal. He put some eggs 'in a frying-pan and stood pensively prying slabs of meat from between his teeth with a fork. Then he used 'the fork to tWrn the eggs with, and brought them along. Brown said, &-I pass," All followed suit. We did not know what to do, and so we.ordered a new. ration of 4au k isae.JbThe ook thyk-ouIhis 'wirei .ppo'inted a proper amount of sau sage meat, spit on his hands and fell to work. This time, tvith one accord, we all passed out. We paid and left. That is all I know of Turkish lunches. A Turkish lunch is good, no doubt, but it has its weak points.
