struction in Arkansas. After the war, owing to the 

 impairment of his health, he abandoned his profes- 

 sion and became a partner in his father's mercantile 

 business. He was a member of the New Jersey 

 Legislature in 1871-72, for several years President of 

 the Board of Education, and of the Board of Trade of

Judd, Orange, agriculturist, born near Niagara Falls, 

 N. Y., July 26, 1822 ; died in Chicago, 111., Dec. 27, 

 1892. He was graduated at Wesleyan University in 

 1847, spent three years in teaching, and took a course 

 in analytical and "agricultural chemistry at Yale. In 

 1853 he removed to New York city, and was appointed 

 editor of the " American Agriculturist," of which he 

 became owner and publisher in 1856. He was also 

 agricultural editor of the New York " Times " from 

 1855 till 1863. He organized the Orange Judd Com- 

 pany, and was its president till 1883, when, through 

 Eersonal business reverses, he was obliged to retire 

 om the office and make a personal assignment. He 

 then removed to Chicago and established an agricul- 

 tural journal, which subsequently became widely 

 known as the " Orange Judd Farmer," and which he 

 published till his death. Mr. Judd was a public- 

 spirited citizen, and engaged in numerous enterprises 

 outside of his publishing business. In 1857 he im- 

 ported from Europe a quantity of sorghum seed, 

 which he distributed free throughout the country, 

 and thus laid the foundation of the present sorghum 

 industry. In 1863 he served with the United States 

 Sanitary Commission at Gettysburg, and afterward 

 with the Army of the Potomac in all its movements 

 from the Rapidan to Petersburg. After the war he 

 became a large stockholder in Long Island railroads, 

 and was one of the projectors of the network of lines 

 now covering the island. Mr. Judd also completed a 

 series of Sunday-school lessons, on which the Berean 

 and International lessons were subsequently modeled. 

 Through life he retained a warm interest in Wesleyan 

 University, and one of the causes of his financial 

 trouble was his erection of the Orange Judd Hall of 

 Natural Science, at a cost of $100,000, which he pre- 

 sented to Yale University as a memorial of a deceased 

 son. He was president of the alumni association and 

 a trustee of the university for many years.

 pastorates in New Haven and New York city from 

 1845 till 1849, was one of the editors of "The Ex- 

 aminer and Chronicle" from 1849 till 1856, and was

 1852 till 1856. On May 27, 1850, he, with 23 others, 

 met in New York city to consider the question " What 

 the cause of religion demanded of them," and the re- 

 sult of their deliberations was the organization of the 

 American Bible Union on June 10 following, " to pro- 

 cure and circulate the most faithful version of the 

 sacred Scriptures in all languages throughout the 

 world." It was to inaugurate the work of the Union 

 that he translated anew the Gospel of St. Matthew, 

 and he also prepared the constitution of the union.

 many, July 3, 1823 ; died in New York city, Dec. 27, 

 1892. He was educated at the Gymnasium of Posen 

 and the University of Breslau, where he was distin- 

 guished for his proficiency in history and languages. 



After graduation he took a course of lectures on Slavic 

 literature in the College of France, and afterward 

 continued his study of languages in Berlin. The 

 movement for the independence of Poland in 1849 en- 

 listed his sympathies, and betook an active part in it, 

 for doing which he was obliged to flee the country. 

 He sought refuge first in France and then in England, 

 and in 1851 came to New York city, where he Degan 

 supporting himself by teaching, eventually becoming

 while aiding in covering the retreat of the Army of 

 Virginia. He was absent from the army on leave 

 about three months ; returned to his command before 

 his wound had healed, and took part in the battle of 

 Fredericksburg, Dec. 13. His exposure in this battle 

 so aggravated his wound that he was compelled to 

 resign his commission on Dec. 22. Early in 1863, 

 however, he received authority to raise the 2d New 

 Jersey Cavalry. In June of that year, while engaged 

 in organizing this regiment at Trenton, he was ap- 

 pointed chief of cavalry of New Jersey, with the rank 

 of colonel, for the purpose of taking charge of the 

 New Jersey troops that Secretary Stanton and Gov. 

 Curtin, of Pennsylvania, had asked to have sent into 

 that State to aid in repelling the Confederate in- 

 vasion. The decisive action at Gettysburg put an 

 end to the emergency. In October he took his regi- 

 ment to Washington, and in November to Eastport, 

 Miss., under assignment to the cavalry division of the 

 1st brigade, 16th Army Corps, Army of the Tennes- 

 see. His command was in constant service till the 

 close of the war, and he won wide distinction as a 

 cavalry officer. On April 9, 1866, he was brevetted 

 brigadier-general, to rank from March 13,1865. He 

 was mustered out of the volunteer service in Novem- 

 ber, 1865. In 1867 he accepted a commission in the 

 regular army and served as commander of mili- 

 tary reservations in Nevada till 1870, when, while on 

 a leave of absence, he was chosen Professor of Con- 

 tinental Languages and Literature at Princeton. He 

 resigned from the army, accepted this chair, and held 

 it till his death, which occurred on a ferry boat while 

 crossing from Jersey City to New York.
