ssAdirondack'' Murray's Return.

Studies fn Europe that May Be of Almost InestimabIe Value to Amerf- can Producers-Discoveries in Liver pool that Will Interest New York Ship pers.
 Yesterdays New York Herald says: The Rev. w. H. H. Murray was in his happiest good humor in his rooms at the St. Nicholas Hotel last evening. He was just home from England, where he had planned certain 1 branches of business that are to be made profitable in America, and as he had returned to his native land simply as a man of busi- ness he was half inclined to ask of the public the privacy that other business men enjoy. EI have some engagements in authorship; so you see I don't intend to abandon itera- ture indeed, couldn't if were to try and since you ask the question I may say that in the matter of dollars and cents literature has rather liked me- You may well suppose that I have desire to revisit the old scenes in the wilderness. They were so unlike my life in literature and in the pulpit and in society in Boston that they renewed my youth. I came of 8 hunting stock, and was born with love of nature and distaste for pub lie life; I like woods and streams better than society, and my ideal of life is a life of mingled literature and agriculture. As to my farm affairs, there were so few bills against my large property-they amounted to only $8,OOO in all-that there was at no time any fear among my creditors. I went away without taking dollar from the farm, and the farm couldn't run away. I went abroad to make money, and believe I've made 1t, and am worth more money than ever before. have come home to establish business connections that will yield more money for me and for those who join in my enterprise"
 Mir. Murray pleasantly narrated his expe- riences in studying Liverpool, the greatest of ports of entry, and London, the great center of the language that we speak, and went on to say that he had made discoveries that ought to be of almost incalculable value to American producers. The first deduction he makes from these discoveries is the prime necessity for American commercial represen- tation in England-for shipping houses with Americans at both termini.
 e'The milling interest," he continued, fought to send trustworthy and intelligent agent to England to confer with the large buyers and with the bakers not with the bro- kers. Then let American millers ship four in bags of such size as the English bakers want. Let them no longer ship grain. Let the milling be done in America. English bakers concede the fact that our four is equal to that from Trieste, their favorite Now England has to buy her grain. If we ship it
 
 agents in England to attend to the sale, our own millers will at once have market for double the capacity of their wheels. This is not exclusively my discovery. Some millers are shipping four to England, and English millers, foreseeing the inevitable, are emi- grating to America to seek their fortunes here.
 ''As to meats, why should we export green hams that are sold after they are cured in England for double the price the American exporter gets Why give England a profit that is rightfully our own? Why sell forb a mere song meats that have a slight taint, when chemistry will sweeten them An English chemist imparted that secret to me and learned also the English secret of cur, ing hams.
 England has come to understand that the American apple is the best fruit that she i'm ports and now all that is needed is an Amer ican connection through which the producers may reach the consumers without the inter vention of English brokers, and our pro- ducers may realize vast profits from their ap- ples."
 MT. Murray went on to speak of the ne- cessity for an international law requiring per feet ventilation in cattle ships, and of the fitting out of the Great Eastern and an; ; other leviathan for the American cattle trade Then he ,connluded 'sSo you see I've not been an idler in my almost recluse life in Boston. I determined that when reached my fortieth year I would step out and edu- cate myself in the busy world by contact with men. I have been doing it. .''
