A Battle id the Air.
—r
A TIRSIPIC COMBAT BETWEEN TWO ROCKY
MOUNTAli EAGLES.
“A most terrible battle between two birds,' 1
says the Virginia (Nevada) Montanian of the
14th, -'occurred between two large brown
eagles, in the vicinity of the lakes above Vir-
einia, on last Wednesday evening. When
first noticed, the birds were soaring, one
above tbe other, at on allitudo of perhaps
three-fourths of a mile, and
seemed on a sail for pleasure.
Presently the uppermost bird, closing its
broad wings, shot downward like a meteor
for two or three hut d ed feet, and with a wild,
piercing scream, lit nxirly npou the buck oi
the other bird. Taming with tbe rapidity of
lightning the victim clutched its adversary
with talons and be»k, and a fierce struggle
ensued. The savage yells, the striking of
hage wings, and showers ot fulling feathers,
gave unmistakable evidence of tbe ferocity
with which the contest was waged.
“As they fought they fell earthwards, and
when within five hundred feet of the ground
they became disentangled and each swooped
upwards again. Now followed an interesting
trial as to which should first gain a sufficient
altitude to make another plunge. The cir
cling of the smaller was rapid and close, while
that of bis antagonist wus made with greater
limits, and his ascension was quickest accom
plished. The largest eagle was soon fully
one-half mile high, and some hundreds of feet
above his victim. Hovering in mid-air for a
moment as if making sure of his aim, he again
darted down upon his enemy, striking him
as before with a force that seemed sufficient
to kill of itself. Again they grappled and
fooght like winged demons—whirling, falling
aad striking funonsly for the space ot three
minutes. They were now near the largest ot
the lakes, and gradually descending to the
water. The struggles ot the smaller became
less and less fierce; he was getting weak and
was evidently nearly vanquished, while bis
more powerlul aggressor seemed to wuge the
battle with renewed vigor.
“Another moment and tbe conquering
monarch loosed his hold, and with an fcxnl-
tant shout of victory soared upward. The
battle was ended; his prisoner, limp and life
less, fell into the waters of the lake with a
splash and floated on the surface without
struggle. We with oar companion, tried to
get the dead eagle, but were unable to do so
without swimming for it. Both birds were of
very large size, ihe largest measuring, we
think, fully twelve feet from tip to tip. The
spectacle was exciting in «be extreme, and the
victory tragically complete. The battle had
likely commenced bt-fore we discovered them
as it does not seem possible for one to kill
the other in short a time, .although the fight
ing was terrific."
Important Business.
A Mrs. Leach, of New Orleans, is in trouble
in New York, and if she finds Mr. Leach, her
husband, she promises to make some un
pleasantness for him, and intends to stick to
him until she reclaims him to the path of vir
tue. Mr. Leach is a sea captain, and until
about six years ago he made his home in New
Orleans, between voyages. lie told his wife
one day that he had very important business
at the North, which would keep him away
from her and his four children a considerable
length of time. He left without giving Mrs.
Leach a very clear idea of
what the business was. He wrote regularly,
however, and she eodnred the long separation
uncomplainingly till about a year ago, when
the correspondence on his part suddenly
ceased. Mrs. Leach packed her trunk and
went to New York. There she heard that
William Leach was living in Trenton, New
Jersey. To Trenlou she went, but could find
no resident of that place who answered to the
name of William Leach. She had heard her
William had properly in Trenton, and went
to the office of the county clerk, but could
not find the name. She then bethought her
self that if William Leach had any object in
concealing his ideotitv, he would probably take
the name of Drake, which was his moth
er’s. On examination it was ascertained
that William Drake had property near
Trenton,and thither Mrs. Leach and the city
marshal went. They found a house and a
woman in it, who said she was William
Drake’s wife. At first sue was very uncivil,
bnt finally the marshal was dismissed, and
Mrs. Leach and Mrs. Drake had a long inter
view. They satisfied themselves that William
Drake was no other than William Leach. He
had gone to New York on a curious errand.
He was having a law 4 suit with the Trenton
woman for marrying him having a husband
already, and laid his damages at S3,000. lie
was then in New Yoxk hunting up witnesses.
The two women found that they had a com
mon interest ill following Leach, and they
both started off to New York to hunt him.
At last accounts they had not found him.
When he takes a view of the peculiar situa
tion, he will probably drop the suit against
the Trenton woman,which will be satisfactory
to her, and return to his first wife, which will
suit her. If this should be the result, it will
be an instance of two wrongs making a right.

Bbeckenkicge's Visit to the President.
Gen. John C. Breckenridge called as a mat
ter of personal courtesy on President Grant,
whom he had not seen since the Mexican
war, where they were lellow-officers and very
intimate. Although Breckenridge has been
frequently in Washington since the close of
the war, he did not think it would be delicate
for bim to visit the President in the Execu
tive Mansion. He was accompanied to the
President’s cottage by Mr. John Hori, and
spent a portion of the evening in very agree
able conversation. Senator Frelinghuysen
was present, and others dropped in dnring
the evening to pay their respects. No allu
sion whatever was made to the late war on
the part of either of the gentlemen. The
President greeted Mr. Breckenridge Very
kindly and referred to the last time they mf»t.
which was when Grant was slightly woumled
in one of the Mexican engagements. They
called up old memories and old friends, and
traced the latter into after life. There is but
a year's difference in the ages of the two Gen
tlemen, Geu. Grant being fifty-two and Gen.
Breckenridge fifty-one. The latter received
an invitation to call again.
