Toledo, O., April I'm view of the
 fact that James Tyson of Australia, lately died intestate, leaving $i,OOG,-
 900 to the government, and $40,000,O00
 for his heirs to fight over, much in
 terest is attached to the claims of Dr.
 L. B. Tyson, druggist of Kenton, O-'
 who shows good proof that he and his
 two sisters are the heirs. According to
 him, James Tyson, the wealthy Aus
 tralian's father, had three brothers
 One named Jacob, settled in Baltimore
 He was Dr. TysOn's grandfather. An
 other brother Nathan, settled at Elk
 ton, Cecil county, Md, and built flouring mill cn Elk river, many years
 ago and was the proprietor of the mill at the time of his death.
 Dr. Tyson says: q visited there in
 1864, and found my great-uncle dead
 and all trace of his family lost. It was then that I first heard of James
 Tyson, of Australia, who was said to have loaned at that time to the Tas- manian government $35,000,000- have engaged F. c. Dougherty of kenton; a prominent lawyer in London, and one at Melbourne to look after my case. It is probable that 1 will soon take trip to Baltimore to look up some evi- dence to substantiate my claim. From my attorney in Melbourne and other sources, I have learned some interest ing anecdotes of the eccentricities Of my old bachelor relative who owned so much property he didn't know what to do with it.
 He never were white shirt or cravat, and his clothes were Of the cheapest quality IL is estimated that his clothing bill in his entire life would not exceed S25. His excuse for wearing such poor clothes was that in case any of his sheep should go under the barn. he would be ready to crawl under after them. He had no use for soap; said it was a useless luxury; pre- ferred to use sand in it's place; said it was cheaper and cleaner, and fully answered the purpose. He spent most of his life out of doors, and at night slept out with the canopy of Heaven l for a shelter. Although the owner of all the fine hotels in Melbourne, yet no one could induce him to sleep CT eat in ono of them. He carried dry bread | and meal with him; also a needle and | thread; never asked any favors Of any body.
 When asked why he didn't marry, he | said he had not time; that his mission | in this world was to fight the desert. | After forty years of labor he could well ! be called Australia's greatest bene- factor. It seems there was scarcely a i spot within one hundred miles of Mel bourne that his hand had not touched | in order to bcautify or improve it. In 1855 he began with a capital of $24. He first went into the cattle business; from that he interested himself in sheep. Everything that he touched 1 seemed to turn to money His money soon doubled, trebled and quadrupled, until, it seemed, he became the lead ing spirit in every industrial enter prise He owned 100000 acres ot the best land in Australia, 5000 head of sheep and an entire square in Mel bourne. Four miles out of Melbourne he had a 100, ,00O-acre tract Of the pret tiest land in Australia; he had prop erty fn Brisbane, New South Wales and elsewhere; had $1,000, COG invested in London; his income reached the enormous sum of $S,O0O,O0O year. AL though miserly in a way yet he was the soul of honor and never broke his word. He had no religion. He said: I have no God to worship nor devil to fear; do not fear the future; do not give it a thought"
