HTtMVT>OUS laud suit. fie Hnmlred and Eighty Square MUM fan Illinofoiiml MlaHouri Claimed l»y FMwfc Helrn--" There's Millions In It." It is well known how enthusiastically the Ftencfe' cheered in 1719 the fonnda- ioH of the " Campagiiie dee Indes" for ike purpose of cultivating and develop­ ing tharip^&p riches of the Mis&is- rippi vl|ley; etery bit of land turned nto ahaies was quoted at the Bourse of Parisf F4xtr years afterward, however, unparalleled panic followed this en- ihusiasm, and the shares which had been hanging hands at 40,000 francs, were old at one franc each; the real estate hen was of no value and this explains he importance of the grant made by kfessr^. Boisbrians and des Ursine in he TiaimfH nf the "Ofisipsgsis des In :s" to Mr. Philippe Francois Renaut, neral manager of the mines of Louisi- na under date June 14, 1723. The Tant, which was confirmed by the rench Government in 1731, comprised, it, two leagues square, or thirty-six quare miles, at a place called Mine La- othe; second, one and one-half leagues ront by six leagues deep, or eighty-one [}uare miles, on the Little Meramec, at tenant's Fork; third, one league front y two leag-tiee deep, or eighteen square lies, at Fort Chartres, and fourth, one igue fi&nfc by live leagues, deep, or rty-five square miles, at Peoria, Hi., ginning one mile and a half from the 1 fprt on Peoria, or Pimiteau Lake, ing in the aggregate 180 square miles. This grant has at this day the same aarantee it had iix 1728 and 1731. being otected by the treaty of cession of raisipna by France to the United ites, signed in 1803 by Marquis de awls, whose son at this time is living St. Louis. 'Until lately no serious jlamations have been made by the heirs Renaut to recover possession of the ids granted to their ancestors. The vernpHapt of the United States, how- er, canceled or sold the same, refuliy" mserted in all its deeds the use, " subject to French claims," so t the present holders have only eon- ional titles, over which the sword of unocles is constantly suspended by heirs of Renaut. [t is iiqfydasCible to sum up the Im- nse interests dispersed all over Illi- is an (J Mtesouri, which are depending • tbir Renaut inheritance. A few ,mples will suffice : In 1872 the Mine motke was sold to an English com ly for £1,000,000; the bargain was pended for a year, in order to give the lers time to procure a clear title, and E canceled afterward, as they were ble to obtain a quit claim deed of the naut heirs. The city ©f Peoria, which was founded the French in 1673, and which is at ssent one of the most important cities Illinois, is entirely built on land be- ging to said heirs, and from Peoria to i Mississippi a great many villages are the same condition. From, this it is lily understood that of late serious rts have been made to hunt up the of Renaut and to obtain their er of attorney. We know a large iking house in Chicago, Messrs. Mc- " en Brothers, who have expended 1,000 for this purpose during the last > years in this country as well as in oe. Count de Tournon, living in who is one of the principal heirs, red tat sail his interest to Messrs. Mc- llen ; an essential point in this trans- on, however, is to establish by au­ ntie documents the complete gene- of the Kenaut family, and to know e surviving heirs, in order to be able xhibdi before the courts the power of rney of all the heirs. We don't be- e that the Mc Mullens are in poases- of these doenments. The want of a le signature will set at naught all dings, and as Messrs. McMullen going to begin their suit, we advise ties concerned to take care of their rests. e liave in our possession all the rs and proofs of what we have in regard to the Renaut suoces- Jjfcw York Courrier des JStats 8.

Illegal Contracts. e New York and Hartford Publish- ompany has urned up at Boston suite against several prominent oiti- or publishing biographical sketches em, and ex-Mayor Wrightman has obliged to shell out $92, in accord- with the agreement he made, some ears* a&o,/ when a canvasser for the any visited Boston. The claim was ,1H1, and Mr. ;Wrightman had actu- igned an agreement that would bind o pay £hat amount, but tLe court ed that llur signature ^ras gained under false pretenses. The* contract bound him to pay the publisher one- third of a cent for each word, each and every issue (or each copy) and eight cents for each engraving of his portrait inserted in the work, also to pay the publisher two cents for every minute's time that elapsed between the date of the signature and the delivery to the publisher of the material of which the biography was to be made and for every minute's time elapsing between the re­ ceipt and return of proof-sheets of the sketch, and for every minute's time that passed between the asking for and the payment of the amount agreed upon. Others signed a similar agreement, and the company entered the suits with the evident expectation of making a big thing out of them.. _ . Centennial Notes* : 1 Mr. J. G. Swan, who is collecting cu­ riosities in the/Northwest for the Cen­ tennial Exhibition, has brought from Alaska to Portland, Oregon, a column 30 feet long and about 4x4 feet, carved with immense heads of Indians in various postures. There is on exhibition in a shop win­ dow in Philadelphia a very valuable French clock, which was patented by the French Republican Government, and made expressly for the Centennial Exhibition at a cost of $700. It is to be given to President Grant. _ The Japanese collection includes porcelain, with means for showing its mode of manufacture; tea, and its meth­ od of preparation; silks, satins, rare woods, and a school On the Japanese plan. What has already arrived com­ prises two houses, known as "yaskakis." One of these structures is a bazaar for the sale of goods, and the other a two- story dwelling house fitted to accommo­ date sixty persons. Mr. Saunders, of the Agricultural De­ partment at Washington, who is at the head of the Committee on Economic Woods and Trees for the Centennial Ex­ hibition, has in preparation at the de­ partment and elsewhere more than four hundred different, kinds of wood. The specimens are arranged to show the char­ acter of the log in sections two feet in length, having one or two sides finished in different ways, while one side shows the natural or rough bark. The Swiss, who have announced their participation in the Exhibition, are divided into the following branches of trade: Chemical products, 20; hosiery, 16; silk manufactures, 19; embroideries 24; plaited straw work, 16; extracts and other preparations (condensed milk for example), 8; watch and clock work, 41; watchmakers' instruments, 10; scientific instruments, 5; typography, 19; photo­ graphy, 9; edible preparations, 8; leather, 2; liquors, etc., 14; architecture and civil engineering, 58; sundry others,* 24. Total, 414. The allotment of space for the exhibits of foreign countries, in Machinery Hall has been begun, and spaces, designated by different colored lines, have been marked for differont countries in the eastern t section of the building.- The following are the spaces thus far allot­ ted: Germany, 10,757 square feet; France, 10,139 square feet; Belgium, 9,375 square feet; Canada, 4,300 square feet; Brazil, 4,000 square feet; Sweden, 3,168 square feet; Spain, 2,448 square feet; Russia, 1,500 square feet; Austria, 1,536 square feet. Application has been made for the erection of a Jewish restaurant on the Centennial grounds, where meals can be furnished to Israelites who adhere to the dietary laws. As there has been such a saloon at the Expositionsat Paris, London and Vienna, there is no doubt the Centennial Commission will grant the permission. Ministers of various Hebrew congregations have approved the application. It is thought that from 50,000 to 75,000 Israelites will visit the Exhibition,' the majority of wham ad­ here to the dietary laws of the Jewish religion. The British Government has con­ sented to defray the expense of trans­ porting works of painting and sculpture contributed by British artists to the Ex­ hibition, and the Committee of British Artists write to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts that "there is now reason to hope that artists and owners of pic­ tures in England will Bend contributions to Philadelphia which shall present a fair and worthy idea of the state of the British art, and enable it to take its due and proper place in the estimation of the American public." A circular has been issued in Brussels to all artists and art societies that intend to send their works to the Centennial Exhibition, saying that they must be transmitted to Brussels by the 5th of Februarys and that the Government will be responsible for the railway charges to that point. On the 10th of February a Commission appointed by the Govern­ ment, will examine them, and all works of art which they consider worthy of ac­ ceptance must be sent to Antwerp, where they will be taken in charge and trans­ mitted to Philadelphia by the Bed Star Steamship Line. The catalogue of the exhibits from Germany has been received. The fium­ ber of exhibitors will be 1,033 and there will be 17 collective exhibits--that is, combinations of different trades. Of chemical products there will be 40 ex­ hibits, one of thfe principal articles being the cologne so famous throughout the world. Of china, glass and porce­ lain ware there will be 25 exhibitors, including the Royal Prussian China Man­ ufactory. Of physical and optical in­ struments there will be 25 exhibitors, of musical instruments 35 exhibitors, pnd of oil prints, pictures, etc., 50 exhibit­ ors. Wines will be shown by 87 pro­ ducers. Toys auu fancy goods will have 36 exhibitor?. Gephart & Co., of Eber- feld, a celebrated, satin nianufactnring firm, will occupy a space of four bun­ dled feet BOABDOTO HOUSE keepers troubled with the persecution of certain high toned dead beats who do everything except, to pay their board, will be interested in a plan pursued by a Brooklyn lady. She writes a letter to the Eagle minutely describing the last pair who swindled her out of her money. Mr. Frederick Wi«xing, the man, is a lawyer, and his wife, or supposed .wife, a tall lady with blonde hair. The practice of these worthies has been to take board for a week, put off payment for another week, and then decamp for fresh fields and pastures new. Cure for Freckles. Grate horseradish fine ; let it stand a few hours in buttermilk, then strain, and use the wash night and morning. Or squeeze the juice of a lemon into a half goblet of water, and use the same way. Most of the remedies for freckles are poisonous and cannot be used with safety. Freckles indicate a defect in digestion, and consist in deposits of some carbonaceous or fatty matter be­ neath the scarf-skin. The diet should be attended to, and should be of a na tare that the bowels and kidneys will do their duty. Daily bathing, with much friction, should not be neglected, and the Turkish bath taken occasionally, if convenient. If the exact cause of freckles was known, a remedy for them might be found. A chemist in Mo­ ravia, observing the bleaching effects of mercurial preparations, inferred that the growth of a local parasitical fungus was the cause of the discoloration of the skin, which extended and ripened its spores in the warmer season. Knowing that sulpho-carbonate of zinc is a deadly enemy to all parasitic vegetation (itself not being otherwise injurious), he ap­ plied this salt for the pnrpme nf remov­ ing tiie freckles. The compound con­ sists of two parts of sulpho-earbonate of zinc,twenty-five parts of distilled glycer­ ine, twenty-five parts of rose-wator, and five parts of scented alcohol, and is to be applied twice daily for from half an hour to an hour, then washed off-with cold water. Protection against the sun By veiling and other means is recom­ mended, and, in addition, for persons of pale complexion some mild preparation of iron.--- Herald of Health. Sherman's Fnndin? Bilk The United States Senate has passed the amendatory refunding bill intro­ duced by Mr. Sherman, of Ohio. It provides as follows : First, that the act to authorize the refunding of the national debt, approved on July 14, 1870, and on Jan. 20, 1871, be so amended that the amount of bondu bearing four and one-half per centum interest authorized to be issued be increased to $500,000,000, and that they be payable at the pleasure of the United States after thirty years from date of their issue instead of fifteen years ; second, that this act shall not be construed to authorize any increase of the total amount of bonds provided for by acts to which this act is an amendment, or to authorize any increase whatever of the bonded debt of the United States, and all provisions of acts to which thia act is amendatory, not inconsistent with provisions ®f this act, are hereby con tinned in force and effect.

To these three medicines Or. J. H. Sohsaok, of Phila­ delphia, owes his unrivalled sucoeea la the treatment of pulmonary diseases. The Pulmonic Syrup ripen* the morbid matter in the Inngs: nature throws it off by an easy expectoration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe • slight cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and the lanes begin to beat To enable the Pulmonic Syrup t® do this, Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
