Mrs. Gaines.

Here is q pleasant sketch OF the cele-
brated Mrs. Myra Gaines, written from
New Orleans to Western paReg;
Since we came to New Orleans, on
going into the parlor one evening | saw
a group of ladies and gentlemen, in the
midst of which Ras small woman with
sharp cut features, holding the attention
Of those about her in sprightly ana AM
mated conversation. She was remark
able looking woman. "Who is that little
woman talking there? Don't you
know herr That is Mrs Gaines She
was talking about her celeDfaied claim,
one wing of which, involving property
in this city 10 the amount of $50 900 Oo0,
had been decided against her. She said,
II have been called upon to-day by
numerous friends who desired to ex-
press their sympathy; but, deer me, l
don't want any sympathy" And then
she broke out in q clear, ringing laugh:
why, ] have been fighting for thirty
four years foF ny rights; above a
hundred lawyers have beep employed
against me; of these, seven haVs pom-
mitted suicide, and several Others drank
themselves TO death Ny Heavenly
Father has spared me, and kept me in
good health, and here ] am, atsixty-four,
as iovous as when in ny teens. And
then she broke out again into that lnde-
seribable laugh, hearty and joyful. fheE
she went into a discussion of courts, o.

MARRYING AN ACTRESS.
A British Mother Appeased and a
Yankee Mother Raving.
St. Louis Republiean's 3 New YOrk Letter.l

St. Louis Republican, & New York letter.
Speaking of British theatrical affairs
leads to scandalous bit of news Just in
from the province las play actors term
all the geography outside Of New York;.
A pretty English actress, attached to a
travelling company, while in one of the
Eastern cities took the heart of rich
young scion of rich old family quite by
storm. A very charming acquaintance
ensued. The company left one town for
another, and the enamored young man
pursued. ..l
The Young actress like all English
actresses) is accompanied by a black
alpaca mother. There came time a
few weeks ago, when that mother wept
and walled and gnashed such teeth as
the roast beef of old England and the
perennial doughnut of New England had
left her; and she refused to be comforted,
since Ger hoffspring 'ad been deluded by
a willainous h American"
The daughter saw her lover and pro
posed that, just to make mother comfort
able, there should be sham marriage,
and it would make things so nice, and
Horace could go to New York with them.
Horace assented, A young man in the
company of rival manager would, being
unknown to mamma, personate the min
| lister. JaE
Sunday following mamma, feeling still
very unhappy, sat bolstered on the sofa.
An intimate friend of the pretty actress
was discussing with Horace the coming
sham ceremony and the effect it would
have on the stern mother, when enters
to them mademoiselle herself, the land
lords son and the strange member of
Mr.. Us company. In trice the pair
stood up-Horace gave the officiating
minister an irreverent wink-the cere-
mony was over with. The gentleman took
out note book and made a memorandum
of the names of the high contracting par
ties, and Horace noticed how fine the
thing was carried out; for the book bore
the name of the Rev. DR.. Steele, First
Presbyterian Church, on its cover. But
when the giddy youth followed out Of
the room and slapped the sham minister
on the back, and invited the "old fellow
to come and crack bottle for doing the
thing so vel" he received well de-
served rebuke that opened his eyes so
wide that it is doubtful if he has shut
them since. For the minister was a
minister, and Horace is a married man,
and the British mother is appeased But
there is Yankee mother going up and
down the land who VOWS vengeance on
the party who have thus taken in her in
nocent son,

The diamond Fieids Of Africa.

From the Richmond Dispatch.l
The discoveries of diamonds and rubies
and garnets, along the valleys of the
Orange and Vaal rivers, in Africa, in
crease in richness and wonderment. ID.
Williams, the Dean of Graham's Town,
writes second letter to the London
Times on the subject. His former com
munication, which was regarded with
doubt, he now declares is more than veri-
fed by the facts. The diamond field has
expanded with good results six miles
from the river and the hunters have dug
thirty feet beneath the surface with good
remuneration for their labor. ID. Viii
liams says that he has never known a
sober man tired of the labor and the re-
ward in the ifeld, and many become rich
He speaks of an old man who had lost
his property and become very poor, who,
in spite of his advanced age, entered the
fields, and after a brief period Of labor
returned home with twenty thousand
dollars worth of diamonds. as
There are about fifteen thousand labo-
rers in the field. OF course there is
great disappointment with many, but the
very presence of so large a number
proves the attractions to be great. II is
to be regretted that so few African i'm
migrants are among the number. The
opportunity ia good for a return of
strong representation of the race in this
country TO the land of their progenitors.
If Africa is ever to be civilized, it is
probable that it viii be through the ne
gro who has been ciyilised in this coun-
try, emigrating to that continent and
imparting among the inhabitants the in
telligenee and arts he has acquired
here. This was the hope Of the
American Colonization Society. Thus
far that hope has been deferred, and
of late has been but poorly encouraged.
The discoveries Of mineral wealth in
Africa ought to start the current Of emf
grafton from this countryto that; but we
have not heard even>of an inquiry about
it among the colored people here. Africa
tempts them in many ways, and holds up
the dazzling diamonds which nature has
scattered over the land; but Il seems to
be all in vain. Possibly there may be
some movement yet in the way Of coloni-
zation to enlighten Africa, but the signs
are dull and despondent enough The
eolored people had rather Gght here Cor
iunattaiuable equality than 70 pick up
diamonds in Africa. .. .... II. -.

Singing to Death.

/ The following affecting incident oc-
Cured in Lexington, KY, while the
Strakosch Company was in that city.
The story is told by an eyewitness "On
Sunday last, as the venerable Chief JUS
tice Robertson, stricken by the hand OF
death, lay almost insensible to the world
which he seemed fast leaving forever,
while the gigantic brain, which, for SO
many years, has throbbed grandly to the
inspirations of his genius, barely hut-
tered with the consciousness of life, he
expressed desire to hear Miss Cary sing
the ballad of 'Old Folks at Home, as il
the strains Of his favorite melody would
have power to call back his soul from the
portals of the grave which he was so fast
nearing. The wish was at once COM
municated to Miss Cary, who will
ingly consented to do anything in
her power to rouse the ebbing current OF
life in one who, as a statesman or jurist,
has known but few rivals during the
ooprse of long and eventful life. On
reaching the residence of Judge Robert
son, Miss Cary was at once ushered INTO
the chamber where SO much of intellect
and learning was fast fIckering out into
tbe darkness of the unknown Hereafter,
and without accompaniment of any KIND,
raised her rich contralto voice in the
touching words, WAY down upon the
Suwanee river but before she had sung
three lines, broke down In the Intensity
of her emotion. Calming herself she
again essayed the ballad, and, while
the venerable and stricken man lay
drinking her glorious melody, poured
cut her whole soul 10 the simple
utterances which gave 50 much pleasure
to one whose giant intellect had in days
agone fascinated the most talented OF
the land. Whea she had ceased Judge
Robertson could scarcely express his
qualification by signs, yet signiaed a de-
Sire that Miss Cary should sing for him
Home, Sweet Home. Twice did the
gifted artistic attempt to comply with the
request, but her emotion was too great,
and choked with feeling she was com
pelled to leave the room. The whole
incident was one of the most touching
and affecting episodes that ever marked
the death-bed of departing greatness.
