Several years ago he made a tiip to Europe and wrote letters to the lead ini; American papers. In on* he described in glowing language, tech as a tasteful artist would employ—rich in imagery and diction, aud at length a glo rious sunset view of the Mediteransan. The letter was copied very generally. The went stmset suiting his initials, has clung to him ever since, and a more appropriate name could not have been selected for one who has never yielded to Radicalism, and is from morning to Uis close of day among the foremost to vigorously attack its men ami ruiuous measures. John L. Murphy, editor ot the Trentcn (N. J. ) Stale Gazette, has been appointed a Collector of United Stales Internal Reve nue, for one of the recently consolidated districts iu New Jersey.
