Mrs. Vyra Clark (iaines, wlio ?lictl ai
Now Orleans Friday nitrlit, 1ms fur many
years; been a prominent figure in society
at Washington and New Orleans. Sluwas
the most famous litigant that over
lived in this country, and in the course
of the fifty years of litigation in which
she was engaged such men as Pnnicl
Webster, Caleb (lushing, Cluis. O'Conor.
Judali P. Henjamin and others of the
ablest lawyers of the ago were employed
in the cases.
The story of Mrs. Gaines's career reads
like a romance, llermotlier was a beautiful
Creole, who, at the age of fourteen,
married a brilliant young Frenchman
named M.de Grange, but, learning that
ho had n wife already livinir. she b?fi bim
and married Daniel Clark, an irifliiciilitil
Irishman, owning largo estates in Louisiana
and much property in Philidelphin.
They were secretly married rn Philadelphia
ahout 1803. hut ho never acknowledged
his wife publicly. Myra was the
second child of this union. She was
horn in New Orleans. Clark persuaded
the mother to give tip the child and
placed it. with a friend in Philadelphia,
who promised faithfully to care for her.
Not long after this Clark waa sent to
Washington as the first Louisiana Delegate
to Congress, and his wife learning
thathc was unfaithful, separated from
him.
With (loinostic trouble came business
disasters which made Clark think lie
would loose all his propovty, and he
therefore conveyed to his friend, the
guardian of Mvra. $700,000 in trust for
the child, and made a will which pave
the rest of his estate to his mother. lie
had previously made a will leaving the
hulk of his property to charitable institutions,
and naming as his executor and
administrator his business partner, who
was also his confidential friend. Recovering
from his losses, and finding himself
still amassing wealth, he made another
will, making his daughter sole heiress of
*11 he posessed. He soon after died
under circumstances which led to ihe belief
that he had been noisoncd.
Clark's first will was recorded by his
partnej the day after his death. The will
leaving his wealth to Myra was never
found, but an aged negro in Clark's service
testified that lie had seen his
partner open his secretary after his
death nnd take from it a sealed document
and burn it. When, some years later.
the partner was told that Myra had
declaired in open court that her father
had made this will and it had been
destroyed bjan interested party, hr oxclaimed
/'Good God ! did she say that ?"
And throwing up bis arms, fell dead from
apoplexy
As a child, Myra was kept in ignorance
and seclusion, ber guardian, it is
Alleged, hoping thereby to obtain complete
control of the $7(K),CXX) which he
held for her. At twenty he selected for
tier a husband who was likely to further
his aims, but she had already fallen in
love with William Whitney, the son of
a wealthy Philadelphia)). When thcrofore,
Whitney spoke to the guardian
About marrying Myra, there was a scene,
from which Myra learned for the first
time that she was not her guardian's
daughter, but nothing was s-iid about
the $700,CXX). As the wife of William
Whitney, Myra hail a luxn;i??us home, a
kind husband and intelligent friends.
From a Southern gentleman she learned
of her rights and of ht-r just title to
firnnorf \r !*""
v<cu men norm millions oi
dollnra. She also learned Hint her
mother still lived, and that her good
name had remained all these years under
A dark cloud. To see her mother and
prove her marriage to her father was
Mrs. Whitney's lirst thought. The beautiful
home was abandoned, and a few
weeks later Mr. and Mrs. Whitney were
Jiving in New Orleans, and had taken
the first plunge into the litigation.
This was about 1K??2,
Hlie was at first successful, but her
husband died of yellow fever, leaving
her with three small children to fight out
the contest. To legal opposition were
added slanders about the character of the
beautiful young widow, and even attempted
assassination. For the sake of
her children and her own name she
pressed her suits with visor. Hut hor
jneans run low.
When she had tiiuilly reached a desperate
strait, and was exposed to insult
and poverty in New Orleans, she was hefriended
hy (Joneral I). 1*. Cainus, the
hereof i*'ort Krie, nnd an old friend of
her father. He was her gallant protector.
and she at length became his wife.
Hh.- thereafter had a respectful hearin g.
'I he suit w?? carried to the United States
Bupreme Court three times on questions
of practice, and At length, by compromise
with one oT the defendants, she
gained a victory in 1818, the United
States Supreme Court declaring thnt a
marriage had taken place, and that Myrn
was entitled to four-fifths of Clark's
estate.
Bnt Mrs. Gaines found that to securo
the property she would have to bring
suits against each of its owners in succession,
Her suit againgt the executors
fetched a hearing in tho Supreme Court
in 1851. The defense was vigorous this
time, and sh<> found herself nonsuited
?t the end of nineteen years, the Court
reversing its former decision as to the
marriage of her mother.
- V'-'
In 1846 hor husband had died, and
now, unaided, she again began suit under
the will which, it was alleged, had
been destroyed by her father's partner
She won at every step up to the United
States Supreme Court, which decided in
her favor in 18(51. The war stopped tin
litigation, bu* at its close she was ready
igain. and in 18t><? hor rijjhts were reafinn<-d
in tin.' United States Supreiin
Court. The property, which include.the
best parts of New Orleans, was thei.

the individual occupants of her property.
The number was great. She pressed
{lie one againgt the city of New Orleans,
ind it was determined, in 1883, that tin
city was indebted to hor in the sum ol
The long light, however,
wore her life out, and oil last Friday
night she died. She was taken ill December,
27, her 78th birthday, with
pneumonia. Three days ago she tnad<
her will, but was too weak to affix hei
name, and signed it with a cross. Hei
son-in-law, J. G. Chrismas of Washing*
ington, was the only relative present.
She is described as a slender lit tit* woman
with hrillinnt eyes and vivacious manners,
ami was at once witty ami eloquent
in conversation.
The funeral of Mrs. Gaines took place
Saturday afternoon from the residence ol
Mrs. L. I,. Davis, No. 150 Thalia street,
in New Orleans. The house of mourning
was thronged with ladies and gentlemen
who had known the deceased lady in
life, conspicuous among them heing
many leading members of the bar headed
by !udge Hillings of the United States
District Court. The Kev. Dr. B. M.

The correspondent says :
"Vance was elected (iovernor in 18G1

letter is said to he now in the hands o(

"'The signs which discourage me

KING'S EVIL
Wu tho nnmo formerly given to Scrofula
becauso of a superstition that It could bo
cured by a king's touch. Tho world Is
wiser now, and knows that
SCROFULA
can only be cured by. a thorough purification
of the blood. If this Is neglected,
the disease perpetuates Its taint through
generation after generation. Among its
earlier syioptomatio developments are
Eczema, Cutaneous Eruptions, Tu- ,
mors, Boils, Carbuncles, Erysipelas,
Purulent Ulcers, Nervous and Pliy
uicni ^onapse, etc. ji nnowcu to continue,
Rheumatism, Scrofulous Catarrh,
Kidney anil Liver Diseases,
Tubercular Consumption, nud vari- .
ous other dangerous or fatal maladies, are
produced by it.

and vitalizes tho blood, restoring
healthful action to the vital organs and
rejuvenating tho entlro system. This great
Regenerative Medicine
Is composed of tho genuine Honduras '
Sarsaparilla, with 5 cllow Dock, ,SVj7lingia,
