T. II.;" a dark-eyed, tUick-wittcd, and ace plishcd eentlcman, wrapped in costly sables, and calmly surveying the assembled multitude, and you have an inadequate idea of the groat JI. 'J' llehnbold. The most complimentary reference by newspaper men to him cannot justly be deemed extravagant, for he docs more than any other man in America to sustain the newspaper press. That he makes money is well known; but who is so deserving of it? liy judiciously judicious-ly advertising his excellent compounds, he lnts eome to be a public benefactor, his daily expenditure of nearly two thou-and dollars among ail the newspapers, news-papers, while it helps to sustain them, bringing healingon lis wings to suffering millions. At the recent l'rcss Banquet here, to which only the actual representatives; repre-sentatives; of the "fourth estate" were admitted, including the Vice President of the United States and a few other distinguished public men who had been cjimccied therewith, Dr. llembold was invited and called upon to sjreak dining the evening, a compliment w hich was eminently deservinir; for, as we already said, he is the lite of the press, and therefore no man so richly deserves recognition at its hands as this greatest ol advertisers. If ir. llelmbold makes money he spends it, too, with right royal munificence. munifi-cence. The co?t of coming to our Carnival Car-nival with his family, equipage, and retinue must have been very considerable; considera-ble; but, not satisfied with that, be engaged en-gaged at the Arlington, our crack hotel, the best rooais and largest parlors, par-lors, where during his stay a constant stream of visitors poured in upon him, with all of whom, in the spirit of true JJemocracy, he had something kind and even witty to say and made them by his hospitality realize that: tbo,- were at home. Uf course, he possesses a biilliaiit intellect. No ordinary man could in so brief a space of time amass such a fortuue, and that solely by the exercise of the highest medical skill, allied to indomitable perseverance which be sa happily delights in! Almost every paper we take up irom every quarter of our land has something to say about Dr. llehnbold, until we are fairly dazzled by the power which he exercises, exer-cises, surpassing what we have read in the Arabian Nights of the Magician's Magi-cian's wand. Nor is this ,'urprising. We now read in the New York Tii- cmai gemenc 01 nisnragnilt-cent nisnragnilt-cent Broadway Palace, extending clear through to Crosby street, uponwhieh occasion full five hundred chosen gutsts are entertained; then we find in the Philadelphia Bulletin an account of a serenade to him by an immense concourse con-course upon the opening of his new Drug Store in the Continental Hotel, the happy speech which he made from the hotel balcony forming the subject of' a two-column leading article in the Cincinnati Commercial, merely because he has won so much popular esteem as to bo generally regarded the next President of the United States; and now we have before us in the New ork Leader of last Wednesday, March 1st, a glowing description of the opening of a magnificent up-town branch of tho establishment of Dr. llelmbold, corner of Broadway and 2'Jth street, rendered absolutely necessary neces-sary by the marvellous growth of the marvellous trade of this marvellous man. Are we not, then, justified in saying that be rivals the most extravagant extrava-gant creations of fiction, and stands today to-day ' absolutely peerless and alone ? This new Temple of Pharmacy has cost in its construction and decoration S.30,000 far more than many pretentious preten-tious concerns have altogether of capital capi-tal and yet it forms but one of many branches of the Parent Store, 5U4 Lroadway, whose genial proprietor last year returned an income of $152,-205. $152,-205. All honor to this worthy disciple of Jculapius! As the Courier felicitates itself upon havmg first proposed the name of Dr. Helmbold for the Chief Magistracy of these United States from admiration for him as a se'f-made man, we should like to dwell at length upon the editorial edito-rial in the Cincinnati Commercial of the 8th ult., entitled '-llelmbold for 1 resident;" but the pressure on our space compels us to defer until another an-other occasion this duty. 'e must however, notice its salient points,' which in the main are highly corupli- meuiary to our valued inend : It begins be-gins by saying that he "is laying his wires for a movement that will astound the country even more than it has yet been astounded by the wonderful results re-sults of his extraordinary curatives " io this. we reply that the people are prepared and will welcome the announcement an-nouncement of bis nomination for the i residency. Because he ordered an immense cannon can-non to be taken to the top of his lofty establishment on Broadway, and th bring of one hundred gun in honor of Ueu hrauk Blair's election to the Senate Sen-ate from Missouri, our conteuiporavv says that the Lector "liestuiW " 0. eutial campai"- , , '"rreiI" eni.- , Vth, -a stroke of "-".worthy of Machiaveli." Vie rather think it was worthy of Ilenry 1. Helmbold. Preferring to his speech in 1 hi adelphia, on the occasion above alluded to, the Commercial says that it was skillfully closed with profound thanks for the 'high compliment paid to the Madame by playing the Helm-bo.d Helm-bo.d (ralop, which had been dedicated to her Taking the speech all in all, we confess we Pre TPrv struck- hi it; and we 1110 mro it will be conceded that the second public step of tho new Presidential candidate has been an unqualified un-qualified success. We close wilh the following from our Cincinnati neighbor, and emphatically answer Yes to his in-teirngatiuiis in-teirngatiuiis : "Would he (Dr. llehnbold) llehn-bold) not bo supported by tho inumcr-able inumcr-able newspapers of which ho has been such a liberal advertising patron dur hg the last four or live years ? Would hu nut be voted for by tho myriads who have been benefitted by his grand medi-canieiitum medi-canieiitum '! And if ho were thus sustained sus-tained by press and people, would not his election be sure?" |
