James e. Murdoch.

The many friends and admirers OF
Mr.. James f. Murdoch will read with
pleasure the following incident related
of him by the Philadelphia Bulletin. 1t
speaks well of his character, and is just
what his friends would expect to hear of
him: efY
'Mr. James E. Murdoch gave one of
his popular entertainments Of declama-
tion at Metzerott Hall, in Washington,
on the evening Of February 10Th. at
which Mr.and Mrs. Colfax were present
just before the entertainment commenc-
en-, Mr.. Colfax left his seat, and meet
ing Mr.. Murdoch in the ante room, &C :.
companied him upon the stage, where
he presented him to the audience in .
brief speech, which was marked by ali
the felicity Of expression so character
istc of our new Vice President. This
graceful aad unexpected compliment to
the distinguished elocutionist was re-
ceived by the crowded house with a
storm Of hearty applause. But this was
not the only incident of the evening -
Mr.. Murdoch recited Reads famous
poem, 'Sheridan's Ride and prefaced
it with the remark that he had specially
desired to give this poem as the author
had written it, because he perceived in
one of the popular school books recent-
ly introduced, the text had been tamper-
ed with, and where Mr.. Read wrote the
true word TRAITORS the word sfceman'
had been interpolated, he wished to
stand by the truth as Buchanan Read
had written it. A witness of the scene
which followed this patriotic outburst
says that the audience, which consisted
largely of officers and soldiers, broke
ou. with such demonstration of enthu-
siastic appreciation Of the sentiment as
has been rarely exhibited by an assem-
blage in Washington. Mr.. Murdoch had
touched chord which still vibrates
quickly in every true patriotic heart, and
the response was full, genuine, and not
to be mistaken. The incident suggest
ed good lesson to those WIRE so
fond Of preaching the milk and water
doctrine that the rebellion and its issues
ought to be obliterated from the minds
and hearts of the people,

EARLY ToMAToEs.-D. A. Compton writes to the
Southern Farmer, as follows:

Southern Farmer, as follows:
These are most readily grown on deep. sandy soil;
but as all farmers eardens not sandy SOIL the
following method will be found highly advantageous
to those whose soil is heivv loam, approaching

slightly with dry earth to prevent the grouni frouf

part of the mounds and being exposed to the rays
OF the sun will grow amazingly. Do be afraid
the heat will burn them up-the tomato came from
hot country and will endure heat and dr. ought that
would be fatal to Northern plants.
Should the drouth be excessive and the vines droop
somewhat, dust them with plaster. This will attract
moisture enough at night to support them during the
day, besides furnishing them with ammonia Hoe
and plaster frequently. When the toes are the
size of crab apples, pull off the smallest, and also
pinch off the tops of the plants Let the vines fall
and remain directly on the ground. BY this method
ripe tomatoes may be had full three weeks earlier
than by fat culture in the common way.
Farmers are advised to start their plants in small
squares OF inverted sod in slight hot-bed. Such
plants are moved in perfect safety-are more stocky

MANAGING PEOPLE.
| The managing people are Of three
kinds. They are either imperious per-
sons, or very good natured persons, or
very conceited persons. And some
times the three motives which cause o
man or woman to be troublesomely
managing are combined in one and the
same person.
Now the objection which most peo-
pie have to being managed is, that they
have an unconquerable wish to manage
for themselves.
But there is another and very potent
cause why people often reject the most
excellent proposals for being manaqed.
It is, that the managing person does not
knew some secret, but very strong, mo
tive of the person to be managed; and
therefore all the managers wise sug-
gestions are beside the mark.

You are discussing the effect of the
large importations of gold from Austria

discussion, and in short time you find
that the original subject has vanished,
and that you are discussing the mode of
rearing pine apples at Chatsworth. This
kind OF man seems to be sent into the
world to destroy everything like good
conversation.

In Liver Complaint nothing can be

In Kidney disease it is specific.
In Rhuematism it is an important
remedy
In Stomach Affections it is unsurpas-

In Female Complaints it is of great

It acts like charm, effecting speedy cures in

The afflicted everywhere should not fail to

five years sojourn in South America and he
nas impaired the secret of its composition to
hundreds Of intelligent physicians, who have
all used it IN their practice with the most won>
derfu results.
In consideration of its many virtues, have
thought it my duty to engage in the manufac

tensively throughout the world. The method
for preparing it for use is somewhat complex
requiring . numerous collection Of chemical
tools paraphernalia not usually possessed by
druggists, and for this reason few drug stores
could furnish it properly prepared, if they had
the formula. Therefore, have purchased the
necessary articles, and with the assistance of
good practical chemist am engaged in its man

The "Life Compound" is purely vegetable, it's
principal ingredient being obtained from the
root of plant which grows abundantly in some

The f%unereal honours paid by this
country to Mr.. Peabody may we'll mark
an epoch in manners. The simple citizen
Of a Republic receives the respect of OBJ
sequies performed in the grand mausoleum
of monarchical England, in which are en-
tombed so many of her most illustrious
dead, and in which the most august cere-
moniaIs that concern the living are en-
acted. And there his corpse might repose
amid the dust of an unrivalled assembIage
Of greatness in all its classes, monumental
effigies attesting the public reverence for
the remains of the absent; but while he
came hither to die, and was happy in the
accomplishment of the wish to part from
earth among US, it was his wilhthat his
tomb should be in the place of " birth,
and that there his mortal frame should
mingle with the dust. So we send that
back to his native country with a state
that could hardly be exceeded in showing
homage to the ~proudest Sovereign. The
Monarch-the most powerful ship afoat
in our Navy, probably in the worlds
ordered to convey the coffin across the
Atlantic, and Mr.. Peabody's fellow-citi-
zens confirm the justice of our tribute to
his character by sending "a ship of wal to
accompany our champion of the seas in
its voyage. AS Mr.. Adams, in referring

for his beneficence and his popularity, said
OF Mr.. Peabady, he was San
man." and as an man we re-
cognise his worth. Well is it for the
world that excellence of his kind should
be acknowledged with all the loyal respect
that can be paid 10 it-that virtue in arms, i
IN letters, in craftsmanship should not
engroSS our admiration altogether-that
we have learned that hearty love and

While he lived, the citizens of London in
whose metropolis his beneficent deeds
were acted placed his statue in one of
the most conspicuous positions of their
world-Aronged centre. He refused such
distinctions at the hand of our Sovereign
as it is the privilege of Royalty to bestow,
but he received and enjoyed the heartfelt
friendship of the Queen, earned by the
good he had done. At a time when iea-
lousy and anger and evil instinct were
most rife between the two peoples of the
AngIo-SaXon stock, he preached concord
by magnificent example. He gave his
wealth alike to those who most needed
IN both lands, relieving the miseries that
civil war had created in his native coun-
try, and providing education for its youth,
and offering to Englishmen his help for
Whatever scheme they could best devise

In other respects than his happy i'm
parliality of regard for his two countries
we do not lack those who may compare
with him. We can show a lady whose
riches, like his, are not boarded for post
humous display of welI-doing, but who,
like Mr.. Peabody, finds her delight in the
gratitude that greets her living-rher fame
and name in the increased wSbfare of the
poorest. We can show men of high rank
and title, as well as Of ample means, who
devote not only fortune, but their own
daily exertion, to the service of. the Door
among them, and often in their most
squaIld haunts. We can show literary
men who have founded no small part of
their glorious reputation upon personal
examination into the needs ofthe meanest,
ana opoo the %fervent advocacy of their

diligently and increasingly that he might
