A Remarkable Career. AN A1IERICAX FIGHTING WITH DESPEKA.TE VALOR UNDER AN INDIAN PBINCE THEN AN INDIAN AISMY OF HIS OWN AKOrSINCi THE JEALOUSY OF ENGLISH OFFICEES KILLED IN HIS OWN DIN-ING-P.OOM. James Lillibridge was born in Exeter, It. I., about the year 17G5. But little is known of his parentage beyond the fact that while James was yet a boy hi3 mother and sisters kept a sailors' board house on the Long "Wharf in Newport. It is understood that his mother's name was Mowry. James was early put to a mechanical trade. Ho did not live on friendly terms with his mother and sis ters; whether their mode of life was dis tasteful to him or he was regarded by them as an incumberance 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. He is next brought to notice at Tranquebar, a seaport in Hindostan, about 17U0. 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 the na tives in the art of war were not only ac ceptable to but were greatly sought af ter by these local dignitaries, he deter mined to seek occupation in their em ployment. Though the Danes were in possession of the port of Tranquebar, the servants of the liritish East Indian Company guarded the Mahratta dominions to pre vent the ingress of foreigners. Murray evaded the vigilance of the British olli eers and entered the province of Hol kar, one of 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 wildest 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 of a barbarous prince, under a barbarous chief, or under the flag of St. George with Arthur "Welles ley as his leader. It would be difficult to follow the record of 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 Comorin to Cashmere, and from the Bay of Bengal to the Per sian boundary. After long years of experience in the terrible warfare of the Indian princes, an act of humanity attracted the atten tion of the British Government in In dia, and alienated Murray from Holkar, the prince whom he had so faithfully served. A number of British officers had been taken prisoners by Holkar, and were to be instantly put to the sword. At the imminent risk of his own life, Murray interposed to save the lives of these officers. This act of mercy chilled the affection of Holkar for one to whom, up to this time, ho had shown a devo tion akin to idolatry, and the conduct of Holkar disgusted Murray with his barbarous master. Murray got posses sion of a considerable district of coun try, which ho subjected to his personal government. He maintained his posi tion at first with difficulty, for at one time his forco was reduced to eight bad ly armed men; but he finally succeeded in firmly establishing his authority over a considerable province of India. After ward, upon the breaking out of a war between the British Government and the Mahratta chiefs, Murray surrender ed his sovereignty and proclaimed the supremacy of Great Britain over this principality, and at the head of 7.000 native cavalry, entered the service of the British Government. At this time it was said that he was the best partisan warrior in India. He was then "con spicuous for his invincible courage and undaunted presence of mind, as well as for his personal prowess." He was re ceived into the British service with great courtesy, and the fullest confi dence was reposed in him. He retained his independent command, and was ac tively employed in the most daring and dangerous enterprises of that war. With his unaided command he took both In dore and Madwa, and at Bhuntpore, when the British army lost 10,000 men in four several attempts to take the place by storm, Murray was continually in action in commaud of his cavalry. Then, too, on the opposite side, hang ing upon the flank of the British army, at the head of an immense body of cav alry, was Holkar, Murray's old master. This was Murray's opportunity to pettle an old quarrel, an opportunity, which from the result of the battle, and from what we know of Murray's charater, it is just to suppose, was not neglected. At the closo of the Mahratta war, a treaty was entered into between the Governor-General of India and the Mahratta chiefs, by one of the articles of which the chiefs stipulated never again to take into their service 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 serves with whom he would, and did not well ac cord with his preconceived notions of hia rights. Then the British officers, who, while he was so powerful an ally in var, had treated him with the great est consideration upon the return of peace neglected him and treated him with indifference. The Government had degraded him to a majority, and had re tired him on half pay. So Murray re solved to leave the British service and return to the United States. This was in 180G. He had acquired a considerable fortune, which he remitted to Calcutta, whither he went to take passage to his native country. He was" then in the prime of life. A few days before the 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 his Arabian charger, and, for the entertainment of his guests, jumped the well-trained horse over the dining table. Finally the horse's foot was caught in the carpet of the pavilion, and the rider, who was said to bo among the best horsemen known in that coun try, was violently thrown . He received an internal injury, which was neglected and mortifieatisn followed, causin- his death. In ordinary life Murray was a mild and amiable man, but when aroused into anger he became ferocious and ungov ernable. He was of middling stature, pleasing expression of countenance, had great bodily strength and agility, and was unrivalled 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 remaining four. Bridging the Danube at Kalafat. The Turkish army in its field opera tions seems to have profited by the les sons of the past year. Instead of leav ing the enemy to choose the time and place of attack, their latest preparations show that the Turks favor an independ ent initiative, and have a correct knowl edge of all the means of making their position favorable. We have previous ly stated that the Danube i3 significant as the first great line of defence for Turkey. The quadrilateral fortifica tions on the Lower Danupe, Itustchuk, Silistria, Schumla and Varna, after being repaired and enlarged, will pre vent the Russians crossing the Dan ube from the neighborhood of Bucha rest, will throw obstacles in the way of an army ndvanciug southwardly through Dobrudja, will cover the Balkan pass ages, andfinally will render the connect ion with Constantinople by sea and the commissar at of the army secure. A passage through that formidable quad rilateral i3 less to bo feared by the Turks, each of the four forts being but two days' march from its neighbor, so that in a battle opened by the Russians the Turks have every possible chance to enjoy all the advantages of an appui in connection with a fort. It fully ex plains why at this present moment the Turkish Generals of the army confine their efforts more to the western posi tions of defense on the Danube than the eastern. Nor dose it seem as if they would divide their strength between the points situated between Hutsehuk and Widdin. sue has Sistowa, Nieopoli. Arcer, Loui and Kahova, which, with their more or less dilapidated walls, can hardly lay claim to rank as fortresses, while they have given most attention to Widden, the Western Danube fort, into which the Timok army of Osman Pasha has moved, and in which but a few weeks since more than G0.000 men were gathered. Such considerable forces in Widdin are enough to attack the flank of the enemy at any time, whether ad vancing from the north through Roma nia or operating on Bulgarian soil. An cient Bononia, regarded by the Romans as a point of great stragetic importance ha3 forfeited materially in that respect by the cession of the tetu-de-pont called Kalafat, situate on the left bank of the Danube, which in 18531 rendered such valuable and gloriouservice against the Russians. True, the water-front of Widdin is protected by an island of con siderable length in the middle of the river, being well fortified, although Kalafat would at any rate be a good point of support against a Russian at tack. If, on the other hand, the Turks take possession of Kalafat at the right time, the possession of Widdin will be next to unassailable, for marshes, im passable, extend for a long distance be fore the outer walls a perfect nest of miasmata to meet the assailants. The more recent fortifications of Widdin, erected by the Austrians in the begin ning of the last century, are calculated now to afford but a weak bulwark, more especially toward the water-front, where the old Bulgarian castle is seen tower ing aloft, against the modern ordnance, is in the first nlace a very solid protec tion, and all the conditions will at once be changed to favor the Turks, when in obedience to the impulse of self-preservation they throw a bridge over the Danube at Kalafat and take this tete-de-poni right into the rayon of defense. Wo do not know whether that bold attempt of the Turks will directly thwart the definite plan of a Russian attack. But Kalafat, being in the hands of the Turks, and the Roumanian bat talions detailed to protect that place will certainly not prevent it, their task to shut off tho Russians from the lower Danube will be very nruch facilitated, and in their forward movement, in any direction whatever, the Russians will have to guard against the danger of an attack on their flank from Kalafat-Widdin. When the news arrived that the bridge between Strassburg and Kehl had been blown up by the Germans over night, the Franco-German war was opened. The news of a bridge thrown across the Danube at Kalafat may be regarded as the introduction of the Russo-Turkish war. Finally, Avhat are the forces placed in the field to defend the line of the Dan ube? According to the statements of the commissariat of tho whole Turkish army, the regular army of the Danube alone, commanded by Abdul Kerim, whose adjutant is Achmed Ejub, mus ters 109,815 men. It is divided into threo army corps, or twelve independ ent divisions. The Timok Corps, now called the Army of Widdin, commanded by Osman Pasha, the Schumia Corps by Fazly Pasha, and the Rutschuk by Ta hir Pasha. Together, those three corps have eleven brigades, embracing sixty six battalions infantry and 118 guns. Besides, the independent division of Silistria, eighteen battalions; that of Varna, sixteen battalions; the former having been entrenched by Selami Pa sha, the latter by nassan Pasha. The reserves in all are 100 battalions strong, partly for garrison service and employ ed as cordons between Florenzia and Sulina, and partly distributed into four reserve divisions commanded by Ferick Halil, Aziz, Raschid Husny and Ismail Kiamil Pasha, all under commander-in-chief Serdar about Schumla and Rust chuk. A'ew Vienna Daily. A Smokimcj Automaton. Many men smoke mechanically, but we never heard of one before smoking by machinery, other than that furnished by nature.' The Salem Gazette says: " Mr. Thomas B. Russell, an ingenious machinist, of this city, has exhibited to some of his friends a curious piece of mechanism, which is now at his residence, No. 3oi Essex street. It consists of the figure of a man, seated in a common chair, and holding a cigar in his mouth. I3y wind ing up a weight, and thus setting in motion an ingenious piece of machinery I iuo ciyur, wuen ngnieu, ana also the mouth of the figure, are made, at regu lar intervals, to emit a steady streamof smoke, interspersed with puffs, that a professional smoker could not excel. By this process a cigar will bo smoked up as quickly and naturally as a living man could do it. The machinery by which the result is accomplished con sists 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 of the figure to bellows which are slowly worked. Two valves' nicely adjusted, regulate the drawing in and emission of the smoke." It is interesting to sit in a flour store now as the proprietor receives a dispatch and yells: "They're a throwin' shells across Graspacoralitcnzeffinvarina, an' some one is going to get hurt. Turn out all hands and mark every danged bar'l up half a dollar." Rome Sentinel. The part for an unwelcome guest to play is de-part. Long Walks- 1702. May 2'Jth, John Morgan a Welshman, for a wager of 100 guineas, undertook to walk from London to Land's End, in Cornwall, and back again (610 miles), in fourteen days, which he accomplished within nine nours of the time allowed him. 1750. September 8th, Pearson, a tailor, who was to walk 300 miles in Tothill fields, Wentminister, in six days, finished his journey half an hour within the time allowed him. 1759. On Februray 1st, George Guest, of Birmingham, who had laid a considerable wager that he walked 1, 000 miles in twenty-eight days, finished liia journey with great ease. It seemed as if he had laid by for bets, for in the last two days he had 100 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 do them in. 1SG5. In Jul', a young woman went from Blencogo, in Scotland, to within two miles of Newcastle in one day, which is abont seventy-two miles. Robert Batley, of Thetford, in Nor folk, when an old man, frequently walk ed from Thetford to London (eighty one miles) , in one day, and back the next. 1788. July 20th, John Batty under took to walk 700 miles on Richmond course in fourteen days, which he per formed with great ease. Mr. Batty was in the fifty-fifth year of his age. 1700. May, Thomas Savagar, a labor er in Herefordshire, walked 404 miles in six days over a very rough and stony road between Hereford and Ludlow. 1701. July, a gentleman, aged seventy-seven, walked from London to Liver pool in four days, which is above fifty mile? a dajr. The Power in Natcke. The power actually at work at present in producing rain, and so, indirectly, in leveling tho earth's surface, is enormous. Tho amount of heat required to evaporate a quantity of water which would cover an area of 100 square miles to the depth of one inch, would be equal to the heat which would be produced by the com bustion of half a million tocs of coal, and that the amount of force of which this consumption of heat would be the equivalent, corresponds to that which would be required to raise a weight of upward of 1,000,000.000 of tons to a height of a mile. When wo remember that the land surface of our earth amounts to about 50,000,000 of square miles, we perceive how enormous must bo the force-equivalent of the annual rainfall of our earth. We are apt to overlook, when contemplating the silent and seemingly quiet process of nature, such as the formation of the rain-cloud, or the precipitation of rain, the tre mendous energy of the forces really causing these processes. "I havo seen," says Professor Tyndall, "the wild stone avalanches of the Alps, which smoke and thunder down the declevities with a vehemence almost sufficient to stun the observer. I have also seen the snow-flakes descending so softly as not to hurt the fragile spangles of which they were composed; yet to produce from aqueous vapor a quantity which a child could carry of that tender mate rial, demands an exertion of energy competent to gather up the shattered blocks of the largest stone-avalanche I have ever seen and pitch them to twice tho height from which they fell." A llo.vn Four Thousand Miles Long. The Rev. J. T. Gracey in a letter from Liberia, Africa, to the Christian. Ad co cat e, says: There is a bread road ("path") from C;qe Mount back through the country oi the Boczies, said to be wide enough for even vehicles to travel over, and through this region horses thrive, be ing in abundance as one recedes from tho coast. Here, then, is already one broad highway after the fashion of the country, back from this high anil com paratively healt hy starting point at Cape Mount. "This is the road to Egypt." said the Rev. Dr. Blyden, the celebrated lin guist and African explorer, who has a fondness for writing articles for Pra zier's Magazine and American quarter lies under the simple signature, "By a Negro." He sat carelessly and at liis ease in the boat in which wo rode, and which he had placed at our service for the day, and he made the remark in a subdued tone, as if conveying some very common-place information. "What do you mean?" said we. "That road," said he, "extends un broken from that point four thousand miles across the continent of Egypt. I saw a Moslem, recently, who had just returned over it from a pilgrimage to Mecca." ' A Last Request. A livery stable keeper committed suicide the other day. He furnished carriages for funerals, and knew how such affairs should be conducted. "I must die and go to auother world. All my efforts to be successful in life have been in vain. I hope to see you again on the road. All is vanity. Everything goes wrong with me. I cannot support you any longer. Dear wife, see that my funeral is all right. I want to be drawn to the grave by four horses." The ruling passion was not only strong in death, but sur vived the grave. Nothing less than a hearse drawn by four horses would sat isfy poor Franz, and he Loped to "see his wife again, on the road" to the other world, which he probably believed to bo a well-paved turnpike or plank-road, lined with stylish equipages drawn by blooded horses and ending in an equine paradise. Sweet Home. "There's no place like home," quoted a llockland man, the other evening, after ho had removed his coat and boots, and settled contentedly back with the evening paper. But it was not long before two of the boys got into a big fight over a game of check ers, and both were effectually warmed with a strap; the two girls began an ani mated jawing over the respective merits of their respective beaus, and were sent to bod, while the Rockland man in en deavoring to separate the dog and cat in sanguinary conflict, was severely scratched by the feline, and then scold ed by his wife for upsetting a flower pot in the melee. Ho now Fpends his evening down street. Mb. Sptkes has a boy who "nails" things. One day he remarked in the presence of both parents, "Ma, I saw pa kiss you in the woodshed last even ing." "Hush, Johnnie; your pa never committed-such a foolish act." "Yes he did, ma, 'cause I thought it was Jane, and Jane says it wasn't her, but you!" Jane doesn't work thera now.

That equable state of the mind which is unruffled by trifling incidents, and looks on the sunny side of things in general, is the result of a healthful state of the train and stomach. The dyspeptic and nervous invalid may al though this is rare indeed feign cheerfulness, and may bear the harrassing symptoms which persecute him with an assumption of heroic m differenc?, but in reality lie is the victim of des pondency. To experience genuine cheerfulness of mind, the stomach must rt cover its lost tne, tho thinking organ its normal quietude.

As is generally known, we exhibiteel our Wn.-iL.Kit v Kmr.Y machines at the Sonoma and Matin County Fair in 1S70, and received the FIRST I'REMICM M1M.OMA, whicll MOW ha 11 3 in our office. At tho close of the Fair, our Agent, Mr. C. P. Hatch, of Pctaluma, leit the machine in tho agricultural buildings, taking the ksivks to his business place. In early spring of 1877, the Kirky Mower, No. 1, was stolen from the building by two men, who were seen to load it into a wagon and start off with it. The number of the machine is 15188, which is painted on the machine in several places by stencil plate. Bear in mind that the numbers cast into the castings are numbers of the differ ent parts, and the number of the machine is put on by paint with stencil plate. The machine is one of our latest improved two-vhtl front cut mowers, maele in 1870, and greatly improved over machines of the same kinel used in California prior to 1870. The knivks not leing with the machine, the thief must have got new ones, and will buy them from some country dealer. As the old style knife cannot be useel without change of pitt m ax, he must get new pittman, or get some blacksmith to change the stolen one. Now every farmer in California knows who has a new machine Tnis yer, in his vicinity, or if his neighbor had a Kirby before, and now has two. The THIEF, doubtless, lias owned and used the Kirby before, and may lay aside his old one and use the stolen ono. While we ad mire his judgment in selecting, yet we elo not propose to be robbed in this way without mak ing an effort to convict the thief. Tin rtfore, we will pay 50.00 reward in hold coin to any person who, by official act as an oiliccr, or by information, or in any other way causes the ar rest and conviction of the thief, and all legal expenses if conviction-is made. And we will further say that we will pay a larger sum if the caso warrants it. As the thief will probably be erne of the first to read this notice, and try to hide or destroy the machine, we hope the mat ter will receive prompt attention from the pnl lic, and the thief be brought to justice.
