We know Of no more eminent and successful drug
gist in the United States than H. T. Helmbold, 594
Broadway, New York city. We are certain there
are none in these United States Who patFonize priu
ters ink to greater extent. We are positive in
the assertion, and have esltGney in saying that
each and every one Of HelmbOld's preparations
possess all the curative powers claimed for them
while we are not sure but, among all the proprie-
tary medicines in existence, Helmbold's ranks as
first and foremost, not only among the people, but
among druggists and regular physicians. The one
preparation alone, and known among medicine as
" Hembold's Fluid Extract of Buchu," has made
him the popular man he IS and has so placed his
medicines as to be without rival or even an equal
This one medicine alone-Helmbolds Buchu-is so
pure in its ingredients and positive in its cura
tive powers, as to overcome the prejudices of the
regular fraternity and TO such extent that regu-
lar physicians in New York and elsewhere are freely
recommending it for all diseases Of the kidneys and
kindred organs for female weaknesses, and for dis
eases consequent upon a change of climate and
habits OF dissipation.
DIR. Helmbold, besides being the most liberal adj
vertiser in the world has the handsomest and most
complete drug establishment in the world WIFI e
we can guarantee to any of our readers who may
be sojourning in New York kindly welcome from
not only the Doctor but from his courteous assist
ants
This, as well as the other medicines of Dr. Helm
bold, can be found at all our drug stores

A SPLENDID ORNAMENT ON BRoADwAY.-lt must
be pleasant thing for that venerable individual,
the Oldest inhabitant to run back in recollection to
the days when our now paace-beautifed Broadway
was in a much more crude condition than it is in
these days of progressive utility. Such improve
ments have taken place within the past few years
the appearance of our favorite thoroughfare that
it seems as if some arch enchantress had produced
the change by one motion of her magic wand.
All along that great avenue, from Bowling Green
to Union Square, are to be seen some of the most
magnificent structures that ever sprung from the
trail of art and architecture And imposing they
are externally, they are equally SO within. Some
of them are fitted up in a style which would draw
tears of ecstacy and admiration from the eyes of
the most extravagant Parsians whose life is devoted
to the study of luxury and magnihcence generally.
Recently, another novel improvement has been
ushered into existence ON Broadway. We refer to
the splendid new Temple of Pharmacy the doors
of which were for the first time opened to the pub
lie but few days ago. of Mr.. H. II. Helmbold at
No 594 Broadway, and adjoining the Metropolitan
Hotel Ever since its opening day it has been ia
vored with full houses Ito use the language of the
dramatic critics. its unique splendor daily and night
" attracting large crowds of admirers.
The entire building is 2s feet front, Pa deep and
i've stories in height. The street floor has been
most tastefuly fitted up, the front half being used
as a retail department, and the rear portion for
wholesale business and as a laboratory for the
manufacture of his celebrated Fluid extract Buchu,
Fluid Extract Sarsaparilla, etc There is probably
no drug store in the world more beautiful and lux
urously furnished than this new acquisition TO our
Broadway attractions
Connected with this establishment is reception
room, which is intended for the comfort of those
obliged to wait while the prescriptions they desire
to purchase are being prepared This Is something
which has been desideratum and which Mr.. Helm
bold has supplied. The room is fnrniseed with
costly lounges, sofas, and velvet carpets Taking
this new establishment altogether, it deserves to
rank as one of the magnifcences Of our city

TIE MASSACRE OF CHRISTIANS IN
JApAS.-The martyrdom at Nagasaki,
Japan, of $50 native Christians, who
were drowned by order of the Mikado,
is exciting great attention. The mis-
sionaries in modern times have never
made any converts in Japan, and the
question arises, what is the history of
these $50 natives? At the present time
every Japanese must register himself at
some temple as q Buddhist, or be con-
demned as an outcast ; and so strenuous
is the guard that ever the simple con
tract of q Japanese servant with his en-
ployer contains always, as a part Of its
legal form, the specification that he is
not q Christian. The persecution which
the native Christians Of Japan suffered
at the time the government expelled
foreigners, and made the profession Of
the Christian faith a capital offense, has
no parallel in history; and all its rigors
have been continued to the present day.

Irishmen and tho Democratic Party.

AAe ~
The great mass of our Irish-American
citizens have for more than a genera
ton been faithful adherents to the Dem
ocratic party. A great variety of reas-
ons can be assigned tor this course, but
when examined the sole inducement is
found to be that Democratic politicians
have been most reckless III their prom
ises, and have lost no possible opportu-
nifty to proclaim themselves the peculiar
friends of tho laboring man. It is a
fact which must strike every observer,
that those men who have had most to
say in regard to labor are in most cases
persons who never did q days work in
their lives. 1t is also q historical fact
that promises made to the Irish have
seldom been redeemed.
During the great political struggle
preceding the rebellion the Democratic
party made slavery their governing
principle. To retain this in the South
and to introduce it into the Territories
they put forth their utmost efforts, and
were defeated. On account Of slavery
in the Southern States, the white labor
er there was put in q degrading compe-
tition, and few emigrants from the Old
World sought that portion Of the Union,
although the natural advantages OF soil
and climate were greater than else
where. Laboripg men sought the free
States, the only ones in which they
could become prosperous aud independ-
ent. Yet had the Democratic party sue
ceeded, the white lsborcr would every
where have been put on Il level with the
African slave. Irishmen voted for this
very result, against their W best in
terests, through the false teachings Of
Democratic orators.
The Democratic rulers have always
eyiuced a feeling Of nristocrncy-have
practically labored to establish caste,
although protesting to deprecate such a
result. When tho Confederney was or
ganized Democracy was unres,rained,
yet in their Constitution it WAS provided
that persons could become citizens only
by o residence Of twcnty-oue years in
the country, which would d~isfranchisc
fully oue-half of the Irish. American
voting population. There is another
example of what Irishmen did with
their votes-thcy sustained a party that,
as soon rs it obtained uncontrolled
power, promptly DISTINGUISHED them

WoxEy IN EsoLAND.-More than two
and a half millions of English women

own living. ~Forty-four thousand are
agricultural outdoor laborers. There
are a million Of house servants, and ff-
teen thousand goveruesses. These lat
