hogs continue dull at the West. The Louisville
Courier says the market there is at a stand, with
prospect of prices being established for some time
to come. The crop of corn is immense, and the far
mers can fatten their hogs at comparatively little ex

convert large proportion of their pork into bacon
which will not reach the market much earlier than
spring. The last contracts were at ST 61 cents,
but buyers now refuse to contract at even cents

Mrs. MYRA CLARK GA1NEs.-This lady deserves to
rank among the foremost Of gifted and extraordinary
women Of this or other times If hope that no re-
verse can dampen faith that holds fast to its convic
ton though all around may fail, courage that mounts
higher with opposition, and dares the more the
mightier the foe will that triumphanty encounters
mans WILL and intellect that matches mans intel
lect, united with warm, generous and magnani
nous heart and true womanliness of character
these constitute heroic woman, then is Mrs. Myrt
Clark Gaines heroine in much more than the con
ventional sense in which the term is employed by
romancists and novelists Her history surpasses ro
mance-it is stranger than fiction.
Mrs. Gaines is now in this city, experimenting IL
person the procurement of important evidence to b
produced in her case before the United States Dis
trct Court, sitting in New Orleans next month
The evidence is said to embrace and startling
discoveries in the records pertaining to the Will o
Daniel Clark and the relations between him ant
Richard Rolf, and to be such to inspire the ut
most confidence on the part of Mrs. Gaines in th
positive and definite success Of her cause. Such
result, after twenty five years Of wonderful perse
vereance and heroic struggle, would seem to vndi
cate the exstance Of just God who will not forsak
those who, convinced of the justice of their cause
trust in him and refuse to despair-N. o. Delta
