ses,S .s Of the ws street prints
BY this ii will appear how very far ahead, two
year old colt of upper Wall street, has already got of
the older nags in lower Wall street. All the old pa
pers distanced not only in circulation, but in cash
advertisements we have already shewn.
Now this extraordinary popularity, growth, and
progress, cannot come of nothing. If we were the
atrocous wretch, the miserable abortion, the half edu
Gated charlatan, that We have been called for two
years past, The enlightened community of New York
would not so far degrade themselves to bestow
such appreciation on such undcserving materials. We
must have some merit As to the talent, intelligence,
and intellectual powers-I claim great credit for
poss essing Them They are the free gifts of Heaven
the m ysterous emanations of the Almighty, and the
possession of such gems of light ought to make even
the possessor himself modest and humble. HE who
gave them for his own inscutable purposes take
them away, when that purpose is accomplished. But
as to my private morals-the purity of my principles
and my unwearied industry, from the first moment
of recollection to this in which it is told feel proud
devsh proud-from the tip Of my toe to the crown
of my head. These qualities are partly my own pro-
perty-my own crops-my own potatoes-small
though they may be-yet the work of my head and
heart on soil given by God and watered by the dews
of Eternity. The violent, unprincipled opposition,
which have met with from the other papers and
their dependents since 1885, cannot deprive me of
these possessions even to the smallest potatoe
nor lessen their just influence on an intelligent
community
The appreciation Of these humble qualities are best
indicated in the extraordinary growth aud prosperity
| of my newspaper establishment This is a test Of
merit that cannot be explained away. And not only
does this community feel and act thus, but intelligent
minds in Europe and America, beyond the reach of
personal enmty or ambition are even r,sre enthu-
sastc. The editors of tho two leading journals in
London, the "Morning Herald" and the "Times,
have sent to New York 10 procure files of the
Herald from the lst ofJanuary last. Mr.. Barnes
the editor of the "Times" has written to his cores
pendent here don't forget TO send me the Herald
regularly" adding that its intelligence and indepen-
dence on commercial affairs, surpassed every other
paper published in this country.
For all these favors frem discriminating and in
teIlgcnt communty-both in the United States and
in England shall express my gratitude by endea-
vorng to create new era in newspaper literature,
science and philosophy an era of which few of the
oafers Of the present day form adequate con-
cepion. We are only in the commencement of a
great age-an age that will throw all preceding ages
into the shade. In newspaper enterprise have only
planted my foot firmly upon the ground. Time will
show the rest.
Miss NELSON, now in the ascendant at the Bowery
Theatre is the most perfect specimen Of the graceful
and fascinating, in en- bon point in woman, that we
II ala h.. o,.I
grace about every movement Of her fine LIMBS that
sets of her magnificent figure to the greatest advant
age In the character Of the Mountain Sylph, her
form is gracefully yet decaely revealed, in all its
richness The crowd that received her on Monday
evening appeared be in breathless admiration du-
ring the whslc performance. The beauty and volup-
tuousness Of her form almost conquer and oermaster
mere poetic sentiment or dramatic incident. We
hardly care what is said-what is done-or what is
doing-we Only feel that splendid form-a female
form-is before us. We watch its movements-we
dwell on its gestures-every step il takes il fixes the
eye, and hurres the imagination all on fire, along
with it. Miss Nelson's form is moulded after the
fashion of the old classic days Of Greece. Go and
see her.
The Bowery Theatre has begun season that will
astonish some folks. Her troublesome days are
nearly alta close Success to honesty and integrity.

Sra-Pleasc correct your statement that Doctor
Chabert will get by the late Mrs. Rapeljie two mil

off, Next, Mrs. Rapelje will receive third Of the
income of real estate during her life whereas she now
gets $4,000 This will reduce her expectations. This

length in a day or two.
