THE TIM HER CULTURE LAW.
from the Walla Walla Union we
taWthc following summary of the pro
visions of tlio timber culture law. For
the country east of the mountains the
land onghtto prove convenient ami val
uable :
Any perron who is a citizen of the
United States, or has declared Lis in
tention to become such, is 21 years of
ge, or tlie head of a family, can take
160 acres ot prairie land either in or
outside ot railroad limits on which to
raise 40 acres ot timber. To obtaiu the
benefit of the law, the person must hunt
op a seetion that is all prairio land nat
urally devoid ot timber, pick out his
elaim and cither go to tho land office
and file his application, tee, 14, or go
before soma notary public or other per
ron having a seal or authorized to ad
ministei oaths, and swearing to the nec
essary affidavit, send the papers to the
land office by mail or otherwise. Fur
ther proceedings as follows:
One year from date ot riling, the ap
plicant must have 10 acres ot the land
broke up.
Two years from date ot filing 10
ere more mutt have been broken, and
10cre8 must be in growing timber.
Three years from tiling the applicant
must
have 20 acres more in growing
timber
Four years from filing there must be
20 .acres more of growing timber, mak
ing forty acres in all
At any time after eight and within
thirteen years from date of filing the ap
plicant can prove op and obtain title.
The trees must be planted not more
than 12 feet apart each way. Speeds or
settings can be planted. The whole
mount must be kept in a healthy, grow
ing condition until proof is made; The
trees eari be planted in four tracts
of 10 acres each. Residence on the land
i-not required, and the applicant can
do what be likes with the other 120
acres of bis claim. A less quantity than
160acre8 can bo taken, one fourth of
the area taken to bo put in timber.
Tbe timber can all bo planted in one,
two or three years, but must be all
growing in four years filing. Tbe right
to land under tlie timber culture law
, dates from the day ot filing- the applica
tion. - As the timber culture law does not
require residence, an application for
land under it can bo filed at the same
time a pre-emption or homestead claim
ia taken.
Tbe war in Europe promises to in
crease tho volume of immigration to
this country immensely. Some esti
mates declare that it will bo unprece
dented. We are without doubt in too
great baste in calculating the benefits
to our trade and general business from
the war, while we do not sufficiently
consider whet we are to gain by immi
, gratioo. ; This promises to be our great
est gam, iu fact. Immigration will
b'ailT up our industrial prosperity again
from tbe bottom. It is something that
Lclps increase our capacity for produc
tioo, and that is just what we want
Tbe force of distributors, named mer
chants and traders, is already as large
us it ought to be. - We are confidential
ly anticipating that this increase of pop
ulation will come from Great Britain,
Holland, Germany, and the Mennonites
, ot Southern Russia. From Germany
will' oome tbe greater stream, in conse
quence of tlie apprehensions excited by
war. There tbe people are chiefly aox
iess to escape military service. But it
till needs special efforts on our part to
ceeore what is notoriously so ready to
come and be absorbed by uk.

A REMARKABLE CAREER.
A AMKRICAX FIGI1TIXG WITH DESPER
ATE VALOR VNDEB AN INDIAN
PRtXCE THEN AN INDIAN ARMY OF
HIS OWN AROUSING THE JEALOUSY
OP ENGLISH OFFICERS KILLED IN
HIS OWN DISIXG-ROOM.
James Lillit ridge was born in Exeter,
R. I., about the year 1765. IJut little
is known of his parentage beyond the
fact that while James was yet a boy his
mother and sisters kept a sailors' board
house on the Long Wharf in Newport.
It is understood that bis mother's name
was Mowry. James was early put to a
mechanical trade. He did not live on
friendly terms with his mother and sis
teis ; whether their mode of life was dis
tasteful to him or he was regarded by
them as an incumbrance upon the
household, is not now known ; but in
consequence of a family quarrel he left
Newport and went to sea. lie then took
the name of Murray, and was thence
forth known as James Murray. lie is
next brought to notice at Tranqnebar, a
seaport in Iliudostan, about 1790.
Having heard that certain French
men who had entered the service of Mah-
ratta princes had risen rapidly in rank
and fortune, and that the service of for
eigners capable of instructing tlie na
tives iu the art of war were not or.ly ac
ceptable to but were greatly sought af
ter by these local dignitaries, he deter
mined to seek occupation ia their em
ployment. Though the Danes were in possession
of the port of Tranquebar, the servants
of the Uritish East Indian Company
guarded the Mahratla dominions to pre
vent the ingress of foreigners. Murray
evaded the vigilance of the British offi
cers and entered the province of IIol-
kar, one ot the most formidable of the
Mahratta chiefs. There he met with a
cordial reception, and was given a ser
vice which was sufficiently full of ad
venture to answer the M'ildest concep
tion of his youthful and untutored
fancy. For sixteen years he was to re
main a partisan warrior, always fighting
with the same desperate valor, whether
in the service ot a barbarous prince,
under a barbarous chief, or under the
flag ot St. George with Arthur Welles
ley as his leader. It would be difficult
to follow the record ot his achieve
ments, as it is contained in snatches
from a hundred volumes of the history
of British India : it is enough for our
purpose to say that he marched and
fought from Cape Comor;n to Cashmere,
and from the Bay ot Bengal to the Per
sian boundary.
After long years ot experience in the
terrible warfare ot the Indian princes,
an act ot humanity attracted the atten
tion of the British Government in In
dia, and alienated Murray from I lolkar,
tho prince whom he had so faithfully
served. A number of British officers
had been taken prisoners by Ifolkar, and
were to be instantly put to the 6word.
At tbe imminent risk ot his own life,
Murray interposed to save tho lives ot
these officers. This act of mercy chilled
tbe affection of Holkar for one to whom,
up to this time, he had shown a devo
lion akin to idolatry, and the conduct
ot Holkar disgusted Murray with his
barbarous master. Murray got posses
sion ot a considerable district of coun
try, which he subjected to his personal
government. He maintained his posi
tion at first with difficulty, for at one
time his force was reduced to eight bad
ly armed men ; but he finally succeeded
in firmly establishing his authority over
a considerable province ot India. After
ward, upon the breaking out of a war
between the British Government and
the Mahratta chiefs, Murray surrender
ed hi sovereignty and proclaimed the
supremacy of Great Britain over this
principality, and at the bead of 7,000
native cavalry, entered the service of
tbe British Government. At this time
it was said that be was the best partisan
warrior in India. He was then "con
spicuous for his invincible courage and
undaunted presence of mind, as well as
Iot his personal prowess." He was re.
ceived iuto the British service with
great courtesy, and the fullest confi
dence was reposed in him. He retained
bis independent command, and was ac
tively employed in the most daring and
dangerous enterprises of that war. With
bin unaided command he took both In
dore and Madwa, and at Bhuutpore,
when the British army lost 10,000 men
in four several attempts to take the
place by storm, Murray was continually
in action in command of his cavalry,
Then, too, on the opposite side, hang,
ing upon tbe flank of the British army,
at the head of an immense body of cav
airy, was Holkar, MumyTs old master.
This was Murray's opportunity to settle
ao old quarrel, an opportunity, which
from tbe result of tbe battle, and from
what we know of Murray's character, it
13 just to suppose, was not neglected.
At the close of the Mahratta war.
treaty was entered into between . the
Governor-Geucrai of India and the
Mahratta chiefs, by one ot the articles
of which the chiefs stipulated never
again to take into their sei vice an Amer
ican officer, or permit an American to
enter their dominions. This surpassing
compliment to the skill and courage of
Murray was a restraint upon his
idea of freedom to serve with whom he
would, and did not well accord with
his preconceived notions of las right.
Then the British officers, who, while he
was so powerful an ally in war, had
treated him with the greatest considt ra
tion, upon the retnrn ot peace neglected
him and treated him with indifference.
The Government had degraded him to
a majority, and had retired him on half
pay. So "Murray resolved to leave the
British service and return to the United
States.
This was in 180G. lie had acquired
a considerable fortune, which ho remit
ted to Calcutta, whither he went to take
passage to his native countiy. lie was
then in the prime ot life. . A few days
before tho time fixed for his embarka
tion from Calcutta, he gave a grand en
tertainment to his friends in that city.
After dinner, when elated with wine, he
mounted hi 3 Arabian charger, and, for
the entertainment ot his guests, jumped
the well-trained horse over tlio dining
table. Finally the horse's foot was
caught iu the carpet of the pavilion, and
the rider, who was said to be among
the best horsemen known in that coun
try, was violently thrown. He received
n internal injury, which was neglected
and mortification followed, causing his
death.
In ordinary life Murray was a rnikl
and amiable man, but when aroused in
to anger he became ferocious and ungov
ernable. He was of middling stature,
leasing expression ot countenance, had
great bodily strength and agility, and
was unriyald in the use of the broad
sword. Upon one occasion, when at
tacked by seven native cavalrymen, he
slew three of them and then escaped
from the remaiuinc; tour.

1702. May 29th, John Morgan, a
Welshman, for a wager of 100. guineas,
undertook to walk from London to
Laud's End, in Cornwall, and back
again (1G0 miles), in fourteen daj,
which he accomplished within nine hours
ot the time allowed him.
1750. September 8th, Pearson, a
tailor, who was to walk 300 miles in
Tothill fields, Westminister, in six days
finished his journey half an hour with-
n the time allowed him.
1759. On February 1st, George
Gnest, ot Birmingham, who had laid a
considerable wager that he would walk
1000 miles in twenty-eight days, finished
his journey with great ease. It seemed
as if he had laid by for bets, for in the
ast two days he had 106 miles to walk,
but walked them with as much ease to
himself that to show his agility, he
walked the last six miles within an
hour, though he had fully six hours to
walk them in.
1865. In July, a young woman
went from Blencogo, in Scotland, to
within two miles of Newcastle in one
day, which is about seveuty-two miles'
Robert Batley, of Thetford, iu Nor
folk, when an old man, frequently walk
ed from Thetford to London (eighty-
one miles), in one day, and back the
next.
1791. July, a gentleman aged seven
ty-soven, walked from London to Liver
pool in four days, which is about fifty
miles a day.
1788. July 20th, John Batty under.
took to walk 700 miles on Richmond
course in fourteen days, which ho per
formed with great ease. Mr. Batty
was in the fifty-fifth year of his ago.
1790. May, Thomas Savagar, ala-
borer in Herefordshire, walked 404
miles in six; days over a very rough and
etony road between Hereford and Lud
low.
A correspondent at Constantinople
writes that affairs are in bad condition
The Sultan is morose and railing against
England. The people arc getting dis
contented. Treasonable speeches are
heard on all sides. He says that
change in tho Administration is likely
to thake place at any moment, and
that Midhat Pasba will probably be re
called by the Commander-in-chief. The
policy of Ed hem Pasha is openly de
nounced. Severe steps would bo taken
to repress this rebelious 6pirit, only it is
feared that such action would result in
revolution. Persons who have convers
ed with Midhat Pasha, now iu London,
state be -is prepared to start for Con
stantinople at any moment and expects
a sudden recall.
Senator Christiancy has been retain

A Raffle For Freedom.
We translate from a German sketch
ot American travel the subjoined ac
count ot an incident alleged to have oc
curred on a Mississippi steamboat a
short time before the war.
'I ascended the Mississippi,' says the
writer, on a steamer on which were
Judge J and Gen. K , of Penn
sylvania, with both of whom I was
slightly acquainted. .
4 A hard set, these Natchez men, said
the captain, who met us on the cabin
stairs. There's some of them down in
the Saloon playing a high game. How
men can be such fools, I could never
see:
'Let's sro down and look on awhile,
suggested the judge.
'in the saloon we lound four uien
seated at a table, around which a crowd
ot spectators had gathered. The four
were the 'heavy players.
The game was poker, and the mon
ey changed hands rapidly. We had
not been looking on long, when one of
the players, a middle-aged man, who I
learned was a cotton planter, liet bis
last dollar against the hand of one of
his antagonists. The latter showed tour
kings, while he had only four queens.
He was 'cleaned out' and rose as though
he whs coing to leave the table.
'Are you broke, colonel." asked one
of the men.
'Dead !' was the laconic reply. .
'Never mind ; I'll lend yon.'
'No : I can make a raise, I reckon.
Here, Pomp.'
'Here, massa: responded an old ne
gro, as he emerged from one corner of
the saloon
'Bring that girl and her youngster
hero that I bought in Natchez. Wait
few minutes, gentlemen. I'll raise
some money.
1 he old negro went on his errand
and soon returned with the girl and her
youngster. The 'girl' proved to be a
stately mulatto woman about thirty-five
years old. Her 'youngster was a tine,
ntellisent lookinsc boy. ot eleven or
twelve years, whose complexion showed
him to be much more nearly allied to
the white race than to the b'ack
Here, gentlemen ' said the planter,
as they entered, you see this girl and
her boy two as nne niggers as you can
find anywhere. I paid eight hundred
dollars for them yesterday in Natchez.
Y ho will give me six hundred.'
Will you seU them separate? asked
some one
'No, can't do it. I promised not to.
Tho rrii l swears she'll take her life if
she's separated from her boy, and her
old master said that fie was sure she d
keep her word. But don't you see that
the cirl is worth more money than 1
ask for both of them? Come, who'll
give me six hundred tor both ?'
fhe planter waited a moment for a
reply, and then said :
'Well, 1 must have some money.
Come, what say you to a raffle thirty
chances at twenty dollars a chance?
Out with your cash, gentlemen. The
first on the list has the first throw!'
This proposition created a decided
stir among all present. The three play
ers at the table lead off by taking three
chances each. 1 heir example was fol
lowed by the spectators, and twenty
chances were taken as rapidly as the
planter could write down the names
and take tho money. Then there was
slight pause. The planter himself
took two chances, and was followed by
his three follow players, who each took
ono chance more. Finally, three more
chances were taken by the spectators,
when the planter cried out :
'Two chances still, gentlemen ! who
will have them?
'General K whispered something
in Judge J 's ear, and theu went
to the table and laid two ten-dollar
gold pieces on it.
'Name, sir, please.'
'Never mind the name. Put it down
for the woman
'Eh, what ! for the girl herself?'
'Yes, certainly ; let's give her a
chance.'
All right ! One for Ninette. And
now
'That's for the boy,' said Judge J
quietly, as he laid twenty dollars on tho
table.
'Good ! Bravo! Bravo!' cried the
planter and several by standers.
'One for Tommy, which makes the
thirty. Now, gentlemen, let's see
whom luck favors.'
The dice was brought and tho throw
ing began. Each chance entitled the
holder to three throws.
Thirty-six was the highest thrown
until the holder of tbe eleventh chance
threw. He scored forty-two. Then a
less number was thrown until number
twenty-one scored forty-nine.
'The excitement now became intense.
Forty-nine was hard to beat, the high
est throw possible being nine sixes tit
ty-fbur. .
Again and agaiu the dice rattled in
the box, until it came to number twenty-
nine.
Come, Minette it's, your turn now.'
As the poor woman came forward her
hands crossed and pressed convulsively
against her breast, it was truly painful
to witness her agitation.
Won't the gentleman that took the
chance for me please throw?' she asked
iu a low. tremulous voice.
No : let the boy throw, replied the
General, 'perhaps he would have more
luck than 1 . -
'Come, Tom. said the planter.'
Tom came forward and picked up
the box. Tlie woman pressed her lips
firmly together and clasped her hands
as if in prayer. The boy trembled like
an aspcn-lcaf, but shook the dice, and
threw three !
For a moment heBtared at the dice as
though he could not believe bis eyes,
then be put downthe dox ana sieppea
back pale and deiected.
Come, Tommy, throw again, urged
the planter.
Mt's no use, master ; I couldn't throw
forty-nine now.'
True, true I But you have your own
chance.--.Throw that.'
Certainly, said Judge J, that
ono was your mother's. Now throw
for yourself, ou the chance I gavo you
Have a stout heart, my boy, and may !
Heaven smile on you !"
Again the boy turned to the table
and took up the box. He pressed his
hps together and did his best to control
his trembling limbs. Not a sound was
to be heard in the saloon but the rat
tling ot the dice. For a moment everv
man seemed to hold his breath.
He threw.
Two fi ves and a six sixteen V said
the planter, putting down the number,
while a murmur of satisfaction ran
through the crowd.
One of the bv-standers gathered no
the dice and put them in. the box, and
the boy threw again.
I wo sixes and a five seventeen.
The excitement now knew no bounds,
and the 'bravos' resounded on every
hand. The boy, as he took up the box
to throw for the third and last time,
was as nearly colorless as it was possi
ble for him to be with his yellow 6kiD.
Out rolled the dice, and up came
three sixes, which made fifty-one !
'Tommy, my boy, I congratulate you!
cried the planter. Yon are your own
and your mother's master. Fill up the
necessary papers, Captain, and I will
sign them. These gentlemen will be
witnesses.'
I will not attempt to describe the
scene that followed. In the general
satisfaction, one of the roughest looking
men in the crowd proposed a subscrip
li n for the freed negroes. The propo
sition was received with such favor
that in less than five minutes fifty 'dol
lars were collected.
A Smoking Automaton. Many
men smoke mechanically, but we never
heard ot one before smoking by machin
ery, other than that furnished by nature.
The Salem Gazette says : "Mr. Thom
as B. Russell, an ingenious machinist,
of this city, has exhibited to some of his
friends a curious piece ot mechanism,
which is now at his residence, No.
354 Essex street. It consists ot the fig
ure ot a man, seated in a common chair,
and holding a cigar in his mouth. By
winding up a weight, and thus setting
in motion an ingenious piece of machin
ery, the cigar, when lighted, and also
the mouth of the figure, are made, at
regular intervals, to emit a steady
stream of smoke, interspersed with puffs
that a professional smoker could not ex
cel. By this process a cigar will be
smoked up as quickly and naturally as
a living man could do it. The machin
ery by which the result is accomplished
consists of a series of wheels, not unlike
those by which a clock is made to strike.
Rubber tubes or pipes are conveyed
from the mouth ot the figure to bellows
which are slowly worked. Two valves,
nicely adjusted, regulate the drawing
in and emission of the smoke."
A gentleman proposes a compromise
upon which he hopes to unite the silver
dollar men and advocates of the gold
standard. He has patented a metal for
coinage supposed to contain two stand
ards in one. It consists of amalgam of
twenty-tour parts of silver to one ot gold
which is about the same as the alloy of
copper is now used in silver coins. A
dollar piece of this material will be
about the size of our present silver half
dollars. The inventor proposes that
coins made ot this patent mixture be a
legal tender and recent subsidiary coin
ages shall be retired. He argues that
his new money, will not be exported or
worked up by jewelers and silversmiths,
and that it will therefore remain in the
country as a permanent circulating me
dium. He says the density ot the new
metal would be greater than either of
its component parts, and that it would
bo liable to less wear than either gold or
silver. ;
The American Giant. Tlie largest
man on record was Miles Darden, a na
tive of Noith Carolina, who was born in
1798, and who died in Tennessee in
1857, at the age cf fifty-eight years.
He was seven feet and six inches in
height, and in 1746 weighed eight hun
dred and seventy-two pounds. In 1839
his coat was buttoned around three men,
each of them weighing over two hun
dred pounds, who walked together in
it across the square of Lexington. Un
til 1853 he was active and lively and
ab'e to bear labor, but from that time
was compelled to stay at home, or be
hauled about in a two horse wagon.
At his death he weighed over one thou
sand fiounds. Ilia coffin was eight feet
long, thirty-five inches deep, thirty-two
inches across the breast, eighteen inches
across tbe head, and fourteen inches
across tho feet. It required twenty-four
yards of black velvet to cover the sides
and lid of the coffin. Miles Darden
was twice married, and bis children are
very large, though it is not probable
that any of them will ever attain the gi
gantic weigut and size ot their father.
A new process ot castinz and anneal
ing paving blocks of furnace cinders
has been suggested, which consists in
taking the slag as it flows from the fur
nace and running it into molds placed
upon a circular table. As fast as tbe
molds are filled they are moved away,
and left to cool down to a dull red col
or. The molds are then opened and the
diocks aro lanen out ana annealed in
turnace for 24 hoars. They are then
ready for use. The principal improve
ment in mis process is in tbe annealing
of tho block t 6lag. Thus prepared,
tho block would be suitable for con
structing walls for building purposes

A tashron chronicler says : "Old

Any man who can swap horses, cr

Truth neyei need be in a hurry, but

in confusion.
