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

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."

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

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."

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

Cheerfulness the Offspring of Health.
That equable state of the mind which

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. Hos
tetter's Stomach Bitters are the best remedy for
mental depression, since they overcome the ner

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. AVe
wish to get tho names of all parties who have
this year obtained Kirby two-wheel mowers and
will pay for such information, liespeetfnlly,
