A DeplOrable Case.

In the Circuit Court, yesterday, a jury adjudged
Miss Emma Goree to be of unsound mind, and
incapable of managing her own affairs. Miss
Gorees case is peculiarly SAD one. During her
residence in this city, which ceased about four
years ago, she was well known and highly re-
spected. She was at that time member of the
Christian Church, but becoming infatuated with
Catholicism, belief with which her parents had
been identified, she Joined that church, and
shortly afterwards became a nun, at st. Mary's
near Terre Haute. Recently. however, she has
been an instructor at st. Johns Academy, in this
city, but is now under treatment at ST. Louis.
Insanity is hereditary in her family, and it is
feared that her mind is permanently impaired, a
fact that her friends will greatly regret. Miss
Goree was young lady of unusual intelligence
and brightness, and possessed of striking liter

Quite large number of persons were attracted
to the federal courtroom, yesterday, by the trial
OF the breach of promise suit of Helen McPhee-
ters against Ulysses S. Blacksom. The testimony
OF the plaintiff was concluded during the morn
ing. She made what the lawyers call "a good
witness" Her statement of her relations with
Blacksom was straightforward, and the story of
their courtship was somewhat entertaining.
Letters which had been received from the
defendant were produced in evidence, and
while they failed to furnish positive
proof that an engagement had existed, they
were OF rather affectiOnate nature, and
showed that the two were something more than
mere friends. 1t was claimed by the plaintiff
had addressed her as his ''darling wife," and,
questioned regarding her form of address to
him, she stated she had called him her ''dear
husband" darling boy" etc. Miss Blacksoln,
cousin of the defendant, whose home is in
YORK county, Illinois, where the parties to the

which the approaching marriage of the two

ton, O., called on DR.. John Collett, the State Ge-
ologist. conversation was conducted through
the medium OF pencil and paper, in which the
mute manifested familiarity with geology and
claimed an acquaintance with several very EN-
inent scientists. He represen ted that he was en-
route to Texas, to make some scientifi G re-
searches under Instructions from the gov
ernment, and Dr. Collett, becoming favor
ably impressed with his visitor, gave him
something more than customary attention.
In looking through the library of the State Geo
logist the mute became very much interested
in Schimper's "Pal9o ntolo9ie Vegetable" an
atlas with 100 Illustrations OF the coal measure
plants, and a volume entitled "Cretaceous aud
Periman Flora of the Territories" He was
granted permission to take the books 10 his hotel,
with the understanding that they would be re-
turned the following morning. The fellow has
NOT been heard from since, and it has been
learned that no such person is known at Day
ton. The two books were valued at S75. 1t is
also reported that Taggart visited a number of
physicians in the city and obsaine ed subscriptions
from them for medical journals. 1t is believed
that he ia no mute, but is an accomplished

Let's see-what's Your Nameq

In nine cases out of ten when man has to ask
that question he would rather see his last cent roll
down crack than do it, but it is asked every day
in banks and other business places-and printing
Offices. man who runs an account comes into a
bank or other business place and the cashier SMILES
and says "Well, old fellow, how are youY'' and
holds out his hand for a shake. The nan has
done business there often, aud the cashier knows
him like book. But pretty soon the man asks to
have something done which requires knowledge
of his name on the part of the cashier and the lat
ter suddenly finds that he's stuck. The cold chlls
begin TO run down his back and he feels as though
he wOuld like to be alone a minute so he could
kick himself He would know the name if he were
to see it. and he begins to 90 through the books in
hope Of coming across it but it eudes him every
time, and finally in desperation, he turns around
with sheepish look in his face, and SAYS: Lets
see-what's your name?" Ever afterward there is
certain degree of cOldness between those two
men. But some business msn are sharp. When
they get stuck on a name they will ask the custo-
mer to 'please spell it" at the same time remark
ing that they believe it is not correct on the books
If the man happens to spell "Smith," the ques-
toner feels bad, but that don't often happen.
Other business men Will say boldly: "Your
name has slipped my memory. "Brown comes there /
ply. "Oh know, I mean your first name, and /

Ory Of Baron DeKalb, who died Aug.
90, 1880, while leading the Delaware
and Maryland regulars at the battle
of Camden, South Carolina. This
was at a time of great depression
among the patriots. Savannah and
Augusta were captured, the whole
State of Georgia was conquered and
placed under a British Governor.

forty days and terrible lombard
ment from the sea, had surrendered.
Hundreds of Continentals had been
mercilessly MANNED and butchered
after being forced to surrender.
AT this juncture it was found nee
essary to send re-inforcements to the
struggling patriots, and DeKalb was
dispatched to their assistance with
two Maryland brigades and Della
Ware regiment. On the 10Th dav of
August, the armies met. The Brit ,

threw down their arms and fed at
the first fire, followed by the North d
Carolina troops. Led by DeKalb. 9
the Delaware and Maryland right a
rushed into the fray, followed by the X
Maryland reserve. Three times they o.
we're driven back, and three times re- it
turned to the charge, when over p
come by force of numbers, they were CT
obliged to retreat. DeKalb was fe
wounded eleven times, but kept his
post until the last one which was ia
