In the Court Of Divorce, yesterday, the solicitor
General appeared for Mr. Quincy, NJ. p. for King
Iyni who sought dissolution Of his marriage, on the
ground Of his wife's adultery with William Taylor her
hoffman. The lady, Mrs. Mary Jane Quincy, was
The daughter of Mr.. Richard Hamburg Quincy, and
was cousin TO her husband. The marriage took place
Ia the year 1876 with tie full consent and appreciation
ofboth families The age OF Mr.. Quincy at that time
was about %, aud the respondent about ten years
younger. There were two children Of the marriage
stin living. Both Of Mrs. Gumey's parents were
dead; and at the decease Of her mother In 1917 she
became entitled to very considerable fortune in her
ewn right and for her life. The parties had q
country house called Tatton Hall, near Norwich,
and a house in Remington Gardens, ~here Mr. Cur
ney, whose parliamentary duties necessarily required
bis attendance in town. resided during the session.
The correspondent, William Taylor had been foot
man 10 the employ Of the petitioner He was the son
Of small farmer in Norfolk and for his station had
received q fair education. Down 10 the month Of
November, 1859, Mr. and Ers. Quincy had lived very
happily together; but certain matters then came to the
knowledge Of the petitioner, which caused him to dis
miss TAYLOR. On the 18th Of December the family
arrived in town from Tatton and the following day
il was found that Mrs. Quincy had eloped, leaving
behiud the follow ing note:

assert her right rs the legitimate child and
consequent hciress to the whole property.
That she met with opposition and obsta-
clcs of all sorts may we'll be imagined, but
she battled for her mothers honor. and
eyinced the most commendable spirit and
resolution, In spite Of the most fearful odds.
Her husband died but she remarked, and In
% doing enlisted powerful auxiliary in tho
person of Gen. Gaines, who believed in her
Legitimacy, and aided her with all his might
Il would be wearysome merely to index the
various legal struggles, the attempted social
ostracisms, the trcacheries, the sorrows, the
hopes and fears experienced by Mrs. Gaines
in this work of q lifetime. She sued in nu-
merous courts, with varied success until her
fortune was gone, her friends convinced OF
the uselcssness of further trial, and all but
her own indomitable spirit aed. She still
struggled on, and as o last resort brought
the case with oil its amplitude and its laby-
rinths OF legal technicalties to the Supreme
Court Of the land. There, after o long and
patient hearing, she has obtained her vic
tory. The Court has unanimously decided
that Myn Clark Gaines is tho only legiti-
mate child of Daniel Clark, and that, as
such, she is entitled to all the property left
by him. Nor are the years and energies OF
the courageous woman.to far spent to pre-
vent her enjoyment Of her vast wealth. Mrs.
Gaines, though now in her iifty.fith year.

ofwhat old people delight in calling ladies

and possesses On abundant flow Of animal
spirits, which have buoyed her up for over
thirty years under circumstances Of an un-
usually trying nature.
Mr.. Justice Wayne, in closing the decision
Of the Court seems to have placed peculiar
and significant emphasis on the words, that
the Supreme Court would see that the pro-
visions of the decisions were carried into
efIect-a statement Of more than ordinary
importance, when We reflect that probably

AMERICAN ANTiQUirIB.-Fromu unanswer-
able facts aud statistics IL is evident that
the great valleys Of the Ohio and Mississippi
were once the abode Of mighty nation
civilized and refined, warlike and brave
descendants OF mighty nations, who settled
in the country long before the appearance OF
our Savior ON the earth. Near Lexington
In Kentucky, are the remains Of an ancient
Catacomb, formed In the solid rock OF lime
stone. This curiosity was discovered In the
year l776. by the early settlers Of that coun-
try. The mouth of the cavern was carefully
concealed with stones, which, on being re-
moved, opened into cave OF immense mag
nitude. The sides Iof this spacious apart.
ment were found, upon examination, to DO
CIT into inches or compartments, occupied
by figures representing men. BY further
investigation these figures were discovered
to be mummies-persons preserved by the
art of embalming-and exhibited state OF
perfection equal to that known ut this time
among the Egyptians; and you will bear In
mind that this art was practised by that
people three thousand four hundred and sew
enty.fye years previous to this discovery in
Kentucky. The catacomb was capable OF
holding two thousand subjects.
Again, there Is found on the Ohio, near
twenty miles below Wabash river, another
remarkable work Of antiquity. Ii Is a largo
cave, with smooth perpendicular walls and
level floor. The walls were covered with
hieroglyphic figures, cut in solid stone, aud
are well executed. Among them are repre-
sentations unknown to the present gcnera.

osities on the Ohio, and Is connected withs
dark, dismal cavern, nearly the same size,
which il located directly above IL, and which
isaccessible through chimney like sparture.
When we view the ancient mounds and
tumuli of tho West wo are lost In wonder,

Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and some OF
them are found to be filed with Thousands Of
