MRS GEN. GAINES, AUNT.

The death Of Nine Sophie Despau, nee
CarrieTe, at Biloxi at the advanced age of
10 wears, has added another feature of In
terest 10 what the United States Supreme
Court has decided TO be the most remark
able suit ever brought TO trial in this coun-
try. Mime. Despair was born in 1857, when
Louisiana was held by France, of an old
Provincial family. and her name will long
be remembered in connection with that Of
her sister, Zulime Carriere. 1t was while
under Nine. Bespaus care that Zulime,
ghen, thirteen years OF age f1796), and al
ready celebrated in this city for he beauty,
was married TO Des Grange, French no.
Blenan, who soon after subsided into
bar-keeper or syrup-maker Some years
after, Des Grange proved TO have been al.
ready married, and about the same time
an attachment sprung up between her and
Daniel Clark the Congressman, the land
Speculation, aud foremost business man of
his time The attachment resulted in
+, marriage, according to Nine Sophia, Despair
and another sister, and, according TO all,
in-the birth Of Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines.
Nine. Despau, in her evidence in the
Gaines case, testified that she was present
whenthe marriage ceremony was performed
in iladelphia-present with a third
sister. ,anditw upon their evidence that
the alleged ceremony rested, for the priest
who officiated subsequently went to Ireland,
r the church was burned down and the re-
cords destroyed. What added still more
10 she complication Of the case was that
Zulime Carriere Des Grange Clark was
subsequently united TO DIR. Gardette, and
this during the lifetime Of Clark.
As Mrs. Gaines legitimacy depended
upon the validity of Clarb's marriage, the
strain Of the whole case turned upon the
evidence Of Nine. Despair. To test her ve-
raclty the evidence of some thirty-6ve or
forty witnesses was taken, who had known
her while residing in this city, in Biloxi,
Havana, Florida and Spanish America.
But the answers were in her favor and in
the Interpretation given of the bewiIdering
facts Of this case by the last decision of the
Supreme Court, her statements were taken
as correct, and an estate now valued at Sl5,-
600 600 was adjudicated to her niece, Mrs.
Gaines; adiudicated fifty years after the
making of the will, thirty after the COM
mencement Of the suit, after six appeals 10
the Supreme Court, and when the original
suit had been divided into five hundred
separate actions against subsequent pos
SCISSORS of Clark's estate. 1
Nine. Despair, though living for more
than a century, and though involved three
fourths of that period in the troubles of her
sister, did not, after all, live to see the ter
mination of the spit gld, save $4,000
worth of the contested estate yielded by Mr..
