MAGNIFICENT PRESENT TO GESIN.-One
OF the most remarkable geniuses OF the present day
in all that pertains to successful enterprise and good
luck, is the great Broadway Halter John N. Genin
around and upon whom there has been perfect out
pouring of late of costly presents which almost re-
| alze the fable Of showers OF gold The " Rise and
Progress of this same Genin is lesson that will not
be upon young springing from oSscurty
and comparative poverty, he went to work, not to
grumble at those who had the start OF him, but to
improve upon their experience and BY the propelins
force of hearty good will to overtake them IN the
for wealth and fame. One OF his first moves IN
business life toward newspaper office with
racy and startling advertisement, telling the world
what he doing and where he could be found and
this advertisements in all the forms that the English
language could be made to assume, has been ever
snce before the people" Far and wide throughout
the country, Genin is known and deemed to be the
| New-York Halter par excellence; while old fash
toned citizens would shake their heads land one of
Genins beautiful beavers at the same time and say
"Wha. dashing, go-ahead fellow he is Always
I'D to, il not trife ahead of the age" 30 GeniD,
| like Jsshurun "waxsd fat and kicked" up such a
noise that all the world patroniZed him, first to see
| who It was that made such commotion and next
because they were always satisfied with his goods.
And by the same Of integrity and stirring
business habits aided by the press, any energetic

! but sbundantly
We now find Genin in the receipt of the most
costly and sttering testimonials of esteem, several
OF which we have heretofore noticed. The last
"presentment' from his friends is indeed such as

he was coeitating something ne " in his little Office

presented to E. X. Collins, Esq. The plate was

gy, believe, in which the reception OF " sestmoni'
