Gro,x.n and Populari,y OF the Herald.


Growth and Popularity of the Herald.
The organization of the HERALD EsTABIIsHMEST
is now complete. Oar steam engine-doube-cyl
der-three news boats-ourforegn and domestic cor
respondence-our money and commercial markets
our theatrical crcisms-our law and police reports
all united and condensed into system, under the
personal inspection and supervision of myself thesole
ed tor and proprietor, enable us to issue two daily
and two weekly papers with ease and despatch.
For many weeks past we have beaten all the Wall
street papers in ship news foreign and domestic arrv
ais and local intelligence of every kind. The superb
ory of the Herald in commercial matters Is now as
universally acknowledged as it has for a long time
been in every ether department in life In every
branch of newspaper, our intellectual and physical
elements are far superior TO any other IN this city
as natural consequence of this powerful organlza-
ton the popularity and circulation of the Herald are
ncreas sing beyond that of any former period. This
increase and this popularity are not now, as in 1885
and 1885, confined to the city or neghborhood-they
are coexteasve with the whole Union, and even
reach to foreign countries. As specimen of the
extraordinary and powerful movement the Herald IS
producing the public mind we annex the following
letters received Except the names) for one day-yes
erday-frcm persons residing in every section OF the
country. -

About four weeks since my brother-in-law L. L.
H by name, subscribed for your Morning He
raid. His primary object in so doing was that Its
entertaining contents might aid in passing smoothly
and proftably away these long winter evenings,
which without intellectual pleasure would be intoe-
rabe. Among books, papers, and other literary para

Herald, for the first two weeks stood conspicuous.

office for IT, but in vain. know you to be man whose

praton Of ny subscription year, march up with my
rhino at the time detailed.
admire your system of cash payments, because
il is always ultimate good and IS productive OF
honest results but cannot award that praise (you
are accustomed to receive) for being puncleus IN all

ding humor and struck me of early IN September the
