THE GREAT GAINES CAsE.-It will delight
many of Our rcaders-all indeed who have been
acquaintcd,w with the merits of this case, which for
the long period of fourteen years has been in the
courts-to lerrn that tie Supreme Court ofthe T.
nited States yesterday afternoon decided it on
ALL FONTS in 5dror Of Mrs Games The suit
has been among the most important and interest
ing ever befoIe the American Courts. The costs
of the litigation on the part of Mrs. Gaines alone
cannot have Lecn less than eighty to ninety thous-
and dollars, but the result involves many millions.
The history of Mrs Gaines, as we gather it
from the record of the case prepaed for the use
Of the Supreme Court is full of the most roman
tic and various incident. She is woman of re-
markable abilities, decision, and generosity, and
of manners singularly frank and engaging. Per-
haps no woman in the country has more or war
mer friends, und If she has any enemies she owes
it entirely to the remarkable position she has so
long occupied as n defrauded and injured heiress
of one of the largest estates on the Continent
held bya numerous and powerful confederacy,
whose hopes of triumph were based upon her
supposed fIendlcssness and poverty.
The veteran Gen. Z. p Gaines is the second
husband of Mrs. Gaines, whose first husband was
a son of the Gen. Whitney of Binghamton, in this
State. Gen. Gaines and his family have recently
resided in this city, which they Will continue to
make their home. Tribune

CAN THE DEAD WIN AT CARDS "A very
curious law case came recently before
German Court, arising from the following
circumstance A gentleman sat at faro
table in the town of keothen Saxony, play
ing with the usual attention and silence
Several plays were made, land the card which
the gentleman continued unspariDgly to put
forward, won repeatedly. The gold push
ed towards the winner by the croup,er, how
ever, was not drawn in by him, and after
several more accumulaiions bad made the
pile inconveniently large, the Keeper OF the
bank rather angrIy requested the fortunate
man TO take in his money. With his eyes
fixed on his card, the player took no notice
of the request.
"Draw in your gold!" was again Uttered
By several round the table.
No answer.
"Monsieur! you incommode the other
playersm said the croupier.
The same mofi0bless silence.
person sitting next to the offender, took
hold Of his hand. II was stone cold. The
winner was dead
As the body was being removed, the crou-
pier drew back the money he had showed
towards the dead player, alleging that the
game, based upon reciprocal agreement,
could not exist between the dead and the
living The heirs Of the defuuct presented
themselves the day after, and claimed the
money, declaring that the winner had regu-
larly commenced and continded the game.
The question was carried before the trlbu-
nal of Keolheu, and will probably depend
upon the evidence az to the point Of time
when The player ceased TO live.
