Six Millions of Dollars for Recovering Z
French Inheritance.

Six Millions of Dollars for Recovering "a
French Inheritance.
A dispatch was published few
days ago announcing that through the
fundamentally of Hon. j. p. Benja-
min, two ladies in Georgia had recov-
cred an inheritance in France valued
at $18,000,0O0. 0 q -t'ei
The Atlanta (Ga.) Herald publishes
the interesting details:a doa af>
From positive authority it is ascer-
tained, that Mrs. Virginia M. Camp
bell and her niece, Mrs. Elmfna Cham
bers, both of Madison, Ca, are enti-
tied to $12,OO0,0O0 now waiting in
France to be claimed by the fortunate
ladies'. sF .,s.;fsft,...@
Mrs. Campbell is a widow about
seventy years of age; her niece, Mrs.
Chambers, is also a widow aged about
thirty-six. The vast property which
they have inherited belongs to the
ReHnauleau estate. Information in
regard to it was received by them
about three months since, and by the
advice of q gentleman in Madison,
who says he was once a law partner
of Hon. Judah P. BENJAMIN, they at
once, wrote to the latter at London,
asking him what course TO pursue in
the matter. Mr.. Benjamin, after thor
oughly investigating the case, wrote
to Mrs Campbell and Mrs. Chambers
that there was not notiaquestiOn'of doubt
in regard to their claim, and advised
them to, come to Europe at once. The
property descends to these ladies
through Mrs. Rennaulesu, a grand
mother of Mrs. Campbell and great
grandmother of Mrs. Chambers. Mrs.
Campbell's maiden name was Ma
guire, her mother having been Mdlle.
Rennauleau. They are connected with
one of the best families in France.
BY the terms of an agreement be-
tween Mr.. Benjamin and the two Ia
dies, the former will take one-half of
the whole amount OF the estate, and
the other half, ,$6,000,O00, will then
fall to Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Cham
bors, the share of each being the neat
little sum of $3,000000. Seven mill
lions and half are in the hands of
the Bank of France and Sd, 100000 in
the hands of the. Rothachi!ds. Mrs.
Chambers was In Augusta ON the 10Th
making arrangements for the voyage
of herself and aunt to Europe. They |
will be accompanied by lawyer from
Savannah and Mr.. Antoine Picquet,
of Augusta, who goes for the purpose
of Identifying them. They will also |
carry papers signed by the oldest cit
izens of Augusta, proving their iden- |
tity. They will leave for Europe, we
understand, next Tuesday.

CURE FOR HAY FHvER.

About this time look out for i" hay
fever" ttpeach fever" and other un-
pleasant forms of the summer catarrh,
which are more commonDin England
than in this country, but which af1ict
considerable numbers here also, from
midsummer along through the month
of September. The part attacked by
the disease is the vicinity of the up
per air passage of the nostrils, which
become infamed, seereting aithin,l ir-
ritating fluid. This is accompanied
by sneezing, headache and Prostra-
ton, all of them being more or less
violent, according to the susceptible
ity of the patient.d Sometimes several
weeks elapse before the sufferer gets
rid of the malady and occasionally its
influence is felt until cold weather
sets in. In England the disease has
been supposed to be caused in some
way by an effiuvium produced by the
hay harvest. Moro recently, however,
it is believed to be caused by "vibri-
ones,' as.a microscopic examination
of the fluid discharged from the nos
trils of person suffering from the
disease detected the presence of mi-
infusorial aniInalculae of that descrip-
ton. The gentleman who claims to
have made this discovery describes
himself as q sufferer from ebay fever"
for twenty years, but is now entirely
relieved from the malady. His cure
is to get a saturated solution of quiz
nine in water, in proportion of one
part Of quiniHe to seven hundred and
fOrty of water; lie down upon his
back, dip small camefs hair brush
into the solution and apply the brush
to the inside of the nostrils, moving
the head about gently, so as to make
sure that tho fluid reaches all parts of
the nostrils, until it is felt in the throat.
He describes the relief as Immediate,
and says that three applications a day,
when threatened by return of the
disease, is sufficient to prevent re-
turn.-Thil. Ledger. -'jst9esss '

A BATTLE IN THE AIR.


A Terrific Combat between two Rocky
Mountain Eagles s4sf.ss .,~-r
GA most terrific battle between two
birds" says the Virginia (Ney.) Mon
tdntdn of the 18th ult, " occurred be-
tween two large brown eagles, in the
vicinity of the Lakes above Virginia,
on last Wednesday evening. When
first noticed, the birds were soaring
one above the other, at an altitude of
perhaps three-fourths of a mile, and
seemed on a sail for pleasure. Pres,
emily the uppermost bird, closing its
broad. wings, shot downward like q
meteor, for two or three hundred
feet, and with wild, piercing scream,
lit fairly upon the back of the other
bird. Turning with the rapidity of
lightning, the victim cIutched its ad-
Versary with talons and beak, and
fierce struggle ensued. The savage
yells, the striking of huge wings and
showers of falling feathers, gave un-
mistakable evidence of the. ferocity
with which the.contest was waged.
" As they fought they fell earth-
wards, and when Within tive hundred
feet of the ground they became disen-
tangled, and each swooped upward
again. Now followed an interesting
trial as to which should first gain a
sufficient altitude to make another
plunge. The circling of the smaller
was rapid and close, while that of his
antagonist was made with greater
limits, and his ascension was quickest
accomplished. The largest eagle was
soon fully one mile high, and some
hundreds of feet above his vietim.--.
aoyering in midi drair for moment, as
if making sure of his aim, he again
darted down upon his enemy, strik-
ing him as before with "a force that
seemed sufficient to kill of ITSELF
Again they grappled and foughtlike
winged demons, Whirling, falling and
striking furiouslY, for the space of
two or three minutes. They were
now near the largest of the lakes, and
gradually descending to the water
The struggles of the smaller became
less and less fierce; he was getting
weak and was evidently nearly van
quished, while his more powerful az
gressor seemed to wage the battle
with increased vigor. 9 e )9s-5liii1A
Another moment and Cthe con-
quering monarch loosed his hold, and
with an exultant shout of victory.
scared upward. The battle was
ended; the prisoner, limp and life-
less, fell into the waters of the lake,
with a splash, and fioatedl ON the SUR
face without struggle. We, with
cur companion, tried te get the dead
eagle, but were enable to do so with
out swimming for it. Both birds
were of very large size, the largest
measuring, we think, fully twelve
feet from tip to tip. The spectacle
was exciting in the extreme, and the
victory tragically complete The bat
tie had likely commenced before we
discovered them, as it does not seem
possible for one to kill the other in SO
short time, although the fighting was
terrific" ai Hl aae ~ su

A "oURE FOR cATARRH" is recon-
mended by druggist, who pronoun-
ces it an absolute remedy. 1t is as
follows: To an ounce of glycerine
add fifteen or twenty drops of car
bolic acid, and thoroughly apply with
a small sponge, to be found at all drug
stores, known as the ear sponge. The
stimulating and antiseptic properties
of the carbolic, acid, combined with
tho soothing qualities of the glycer-
inc produce the most happy results.
This remedy also affords almost. i'm

cry near there of volcano. A man
of that place saw smoke at distance,
which he at first attributed to a fire in
the woods. Butathe second Thought
convinced him that that was not pos.
sible, as its location was far above
timber line. So, with the usual zeal
of a prospector for something new.
he clambered up and down and over
several ridges of the main range, un-
til, arriving at the place, he found
himself on the edge of veritable cra-
ter. The place had evidently becnthe
scene of great and 4long-eontlnqed
volcanic action, for there were plainly
to be traced the rim of a prehistoric
crater about one mile in diameter
Within the ancient bowl, and near,
one edge, the young volcano had COM

violently while he was there, but con-
tented itself with an occasional spasm,
the rest of the time smoking as lplac-
idly as an old tobacconist. But the
best proof of his story are bits of lava,
evidently of recent origin, and several
Jumps of scoFia. "A large party will
