A Business Sketch of a Business Man,

We copy the following sketch of the life of
a very extraordinary man, from an editorial
in N. Y. Sun.
.As an illustration of business tact and tai
ent, we may point to the career Of Professor
Holloway, the proprietor of the most popular
medicines of the age. The rise and progress
Of this extraordinary man have had no parallel
during the present century. He has visited
nearly every Court in Europe, and obtained
permission for the sale of his preparations
from most Of the crowned heads of the Old
World. The queens of Spain and Portugal,
the kings of Naples and Sardinia, granted
him audiences; and in ST. Petersburg, which
city he visited q short time before the COM
mencement Of the war, he was treated with
marked consideration by the late Car and
the nobility.
"Traveling in an elegant private carriage,
attended by courier, his cquipage attracted
attention in the towns and villages through
which he passed. The hotels were he lodged
were besicged by persons of the first distinc-
ton, and the best society on the con,inen,
courted his acquaintance.
The subject of these remarks is unques-
tionably an ambitious man, and his skill and
enterprise have placed him far in advance of
all his predecessors and cotemporaries in the
same profession. He stands alone: and the
fact that he can maintain his position, despite
the interested assaults of envy and presump-
ton. proves that his medicines have an inlrin-
sic value, which the world understands and
appreciates.
"Thc sums expended in advertising by Pro.
fessor Holloway would be incredible If they
were not authenticated by his books. His
payments TO the press range from 81 900 10
S?00,000 per annum. There is no printed
language in which his advertisements do not
appear,
The ramifcations of his business extend
from the focal point-his vast establishment
in the Strand Londnn-over the whole face
of the earth.
This extraordinary man is now in this
country-in this city. The Tribune in a Just
tribute to his maichless enterprise, says, that
having,like Alexander, ,subdued the old World,
he is now preparing TO conquer the Nc,c.
professor Holloway has not been tempted
hither by thirst for gain-for his wealth is
sufficient to satisfy the most erigeaaf worship
per of mammon-but by phian,hropic de.
sire to extend the, benefit of his medicines
among people whose character he admires.
Everybody is, Of course, anxious to see the
greatest advertiser in the world. In a very
shor. period, the American reputation of Hol-
loway's Pills and Holloway's Ointneni will
rival the European fame

sJ-rwice, on Friday evening last, our
town bells tolled forth tie dismal tale, 4
Child as Instr and hundreds of symPa-
th!zIng hearts volunteered in quest OF the
missing member of the agonizcd family,
particularly in the Creek and River near
the Boat Yard. About 10 o'clock at night
more thorough search was Instituted
around the premises, when it was discov-
cred that the child had fallen in, out Of
sight, in q pi,.holo full Of water in the
cellar of its own home, probably before
dark. The intelligence, satisfactory al
though mournful, was soon known, and
the crowd dispersed.
Without designing to reflect upon any
one, and least Of ali upon the bercaved
parents, wewoui1 call general attention to
the fact here roveaiod--a pool of stagnant
water in the cellar Of human babi.ation,
large enough to engulph child SO deeply
that even the quick ear of the mother never
heard its drowning gasp. How many
similar reservoirs Of agues and fevers are
allowed to exist, here and elsewcre-poi-
son;ng every article Of food in their immc-
diate vicinity, and sending up their nox-
ious Influences through every storey Of the
cooking, sleeping, or dwelling rooms above
thcm9
Not long since, fever broke out in
stage house in western township, which
destroyed over dozen lives, and which
was believed to have ori rigina.ed wholly
from dccayed meat in the cellar Very
frequently, it is we'll attcsted, similar dis
eases have been bcgotten by damp and un-
ventilated cellars and when such air is
additionally imprcgua.ed with putrid meat
and rotten vegetation, it is 20 wonder that
they create plaques, which sweep away
their thousands and millions.
And, of'cn, diseases thus brought upon
our race by its own ao,s, are ascribed to
" Proridence.' As if God would reverse
the order Of nature, to encourage the care
lessness or willfulness of those who set at
defiance its reasonable and eternal laws
Not so-if We would preserve public health,
every cellar should be ventilated, kept
clean, and purified

Ec- Congress meets week from Mon
day next, and the prospect for an carly
organization is not thought to be lattering.
The Anti-Administration majority in the
House of Representatives is nearly two to
one, but whether they eau unite, is the
question. Some Of I. SANS" men are de-
termincd to have their own way about ev-
erything but there are some Republicans
who will yield to no more Unioa-saving
cant and hypocrisy, but will prefer frank,
out-and,out Slayeite to any whimpcring
Nationalist who will profess friendship
to Freedom only to betray and stab her at
last. Solomon G. Haven, of New York,
Qate Fillmores psrtDcD is suggested as
one Of this sort, for Speaker, and Henry
NJ. Fuller, Of Penn, and Lewis d. Camp
bell, Of Ohio, as true Republicans as well
as Americans. Gen. Wm. Cullom, of
Tenn, defeated for reelection because be
was Anti Nebraska, is prominent candi-
date for Clerk of the House.
e%s-Some of the New Berlin typograph-
crs are hard TO get accustomed to substitu-
tirg Lewisburg for New Berlin. The
Times has two errors in its Court Procla-
nation, and the IoHtestreuaa warns some
unlucky being to be and appear " at New
Berlin on the 18th December" and show
cause why the other half of the original
firm should not be absolved from further
partnership in the matrimonial line. We
can find no section in the Division Act re-
quiring Divorce cases to be tried at New
Berlin, and conclude it is only a mistake of
the Printer caused by his chronic habit of
connecting New Berlin with Court procec-
dings for a lifetime. Of course, these
little errors will wear away, and must be
borne with for while

WAR PAyIo-Just as the last Chronicle
was going to press, We received dispatch
announcing that great excitement existed
in England portending rupture between
the mother country and our own. An in
vestigation of the grounds upon which
this panic rests, must satisfy any one that
the alarm is premature at least. The chief
trouble appears to be that the London
Times has been in bad humor towards our
country, and in that state of mind has in
serted several laborcd 'Ieaders" evidently
designed to '.make sensation" II al
ludos to the fllibusting project of the
Shareholders (whose agents are almost
daily engaged in acts of simple piracy and
MURDER in Central America, and also to
the Irish military companies forming or
formed in America with the avowed de-
sigh Of falling upon Ireland and wrestling
from her that gem Of tho ocean" while
England has her hands full with Russia.
Now; however much Of truth and justice
there may be in these complaints, England
must remember ;hat-tLc Clayton Bulwer
treaty being abandoned on both sides
she is extending her dominions southward,
although not for the purpose of establish
ing Slavery; and that her own Champion,
Gas well as our doInagoguo.led Irish,) has
been guilty of violating The Neutrality
laws. Neither Of these can be valid
reason, and the dismissal of Champion and
the recall of Buchanan, would by no
means necessarily involve war
But, it appears also, PaJHc Opinion in
England is against any disturbance of our
peaceful relations; and Public Opinion is,
now, tie Power in England. They will
not sacrifice the one-sided "Free Trade"
(Which they have just got handsomely
established for themselves with their best
customer, America The Shareholders,
also, will not risk the loss Of the best
market for their great staple, Cotton and
the North and East will not desire to lose
the carrying trade a. this time when :he
War in the Crimca promises permanent
market for breadstuiIs.
We are aware of the Russian sympa-
thies of our National Administration, and
do not wonder that the most gigantic
Despotlsm Of the civilized world would be
encouraged by the Slaveocracy of our own
land. But Cotton aud Commerce and the
chance to extend Slavery, might all be
endangered by war. The late war-cry,
"54 40 or .Gyht," is too well remembered,
to make such stratagem for political
hobby, promise success. We have w sp-
prehensiOn, therefore, that anything seri-
GUS will grow out of the present alarm.
Sclfinterest as well as civilization, hu-
manity and religion, would forbid such
fratricidal contest as would be between |
Great Britain aud the United States.
A further reason for this effort to create
distrust in Great Britain, is the fact that
Russia has, though the Bankers of the
Continent drained England Of considerable !
bullion and to prevent the sending Of
gold and silver for investment in America
is matter Of policy, and this outcry is
well adapted to advance that end.
