Bankruptcy Commercial Death
The Rise ana Fail of Patent Medt'
cine Men. ttYr rEfvrt
MY. Letter to Rochester Dem. and ChrOniclel
Bankruptcy is a commercial death
from which there is sometimes resur-
rection. | am inclined, however to
think that this Helmbold affair is ac-
companied by no such hope Helmbold,
in other words, is effectually killed.
do not mention this as news, but simply
to make q few comments. As the old
song goes, while he lived, he lived in
clover, aud when he died he died all
over. They say that seven is a mystic
rious number, and Helmbold s career in
this city lasted just seven years. In
1865. the year that Lincoln was slain, he
commenced his Broadway drug estab-
lishment. He had little money which
he brought from Philadelphia, and he
made dash with it, meeting remarka-
bic success. Most nostrums seem to be
short-lived. Helmbold's preparations
took well at first, and made enor-
nous profits. In 1868 he report
ed an income of more than $5O,00O
and this was even increased. In the
great Presidential campaign Of 1868 he
determined to exceed all partisans in
liberality. A. T. Stewart gave $50, 900 to
the Republican fund, and Helmbeld, to
Iout-Herod Herod, gave $40, 900 to aid
the election OF Seymour. No doubt he
would be glad just now to handle that
sum again. Success makes most men
delirious, and Helmbold was no excep-
ton. Il was a remark of Peter 9. Brooks,
the Boston millionaire, in reference. to
his property, 1--WE made money fast
enough to have turned most men heads.
and Edward Everett commented on
this AZ a striking peculiarly in Brooks
that II did not turn his head. But Helm
bold was bewildered by success, de
spent enormous sums in a wasteful man
ner. His dashing turnout at Long
Branch excited the envy and admiration
of fashion-worshippers, and in Central
Park his euuipage also commanded at
tention. His diamond breast-pin and
his luxurious life we're the witnesses OF
weak vanity and pride Of purse. The
tide OF prosperity, like all other tides,
had its limit and then came the
ebb. For this he vas not prepared,
and bankruptcy soon followed. Some
months ago / saw his shattered and ex-
hausted countenance and his frail form
standing in the porch of what once was
his palace of pharmacy. He looked
dazed aud dreamy, like one who hardly
woke to the reality. Now they say ne
is in Europe seeking restoration et
health. 1t is more than probable that
he will retura ia his coffin. | have seen
this thing repeated more than once.
remember the patent medicine Com
stocks and their grand equipsge, who
after their failure were in due time fol-
lowed by Sarsaparilla Townsend, who
made a great fortune, and then likewise
came out poor Now We have Helm
bold to point moral and adorn tale.
As for Townsend. bis profits on sarsapa-
rilla enabled him 10 build a palace IN
the Fifth avenue, and after his failure i
was purchased by Stewart, who pulled It
down in order TO make room for has
palace. Thus the butterflies Of success
come and 90, Ehile the moral OF the
scene is thus gathered by. =.=.---r

Brazilian Turtles.

/ The size of these creatures may be
imagined from the fact that the hippers
and feet of one, in crawling over the
sand leaves a track of two irregular
grooves, three or four feet apart as
though great wagon with cog wheels
had been driven over the ground. 1t is
an easy matter to find turtles nest by
this track. She comes out of the sea
and travels far up on the beach to lay..her
eggs in the sand, digging hole foot
and half or two feet deep for the nest
Prof. Hartt, who was in Brazil with Prot.
Aggassiz, says that he saw turtle de-
post one hundred and forty-three eggs
in one of these nests. The eggs are all
laid at one sitting, then covered up clos
ly with the sand, and left to hatch. The
eggs are rather larger than hens eggs,
round, and covered with tough white
skin. The Brazilians eat the eggs, and
also the flesh of the turtle. The crea-
ture is captured in curious way. Two
persons'go behind it, and taking hold of
the shell, turn theSanimal on its back, in
which position it is at the mercy of its
captors, as it is impossible for it to turn
over on its feet again. The hunters are
obliged to creep up behind it cautiously,
for as soon as it is alarmed it thrusts its
fore-paddles into the sand and throws it
behind, so that if the pursuers do not
quickly close their eyes they are likely
TO be blinded.

Under the influence Of the medicine he
recovered so far as to be able at 8 o'clock
am. TO bite Topping. His night was
peaceful. This morning at daylight he
appeared better, received (agreeably to
the doctors directions) another dose of
castor oil, and partook plentifully of
some warm Cruel, the flavor of which he
appeared to relish Toward / o'clock
he was so much worse that it was
necessary 10 muffle the stable
knocker. At half-past or thereabout
he was heard talking to himself about
the horse and Teppings family, and TO
add some incoherent expressions which
were supposed to have been either
foreboding of his approaching dissolu-
ton, or some wishes relative to the dis
posal of his little property, consisting
chiefly of halfpence, which he had
buried in different parts of the garden.
On the clock striking twelve he appear
ed agitated, but recovered, walked twice
or thrice along the coach-house, stopped
to bark, staggered, exclaimed, Halo,
old gall" (his favorite expression), and
died. He behaved throughout with a
decent fortitude, equanimity and self
possession, which could not be too much
admired. I deeply regret that being in
ignorance of his danger | did not attend
to receive his last instructions. Some
thing remarkable about his eyes occa-
stoned Topping to run for the doctor at
twelve o'clock. When they returned to-
gether our friend was gone. 1t was the
medical gentleman who informed me of
his disease. He did it withs great eau
ton and delicacy, preparing me by the
remark that "jolly queer start had
taken place sbr .

Gail Hamilton.

Miss Grundy writes from Washington:
Among our winter visitors is Gail Ham
ilton, who spends several months at a
time as the guest of her cousin, Mrs.
Blaine, wife of the speaker of the house.
AS is well known, the real name of this
clever writer is Abigail Dodge. She is a
native of Wenham, small town about
twenty miles from Boston, but her home
is in Hamilton, Massachusetts,. The abb
breviation'of her given name and the
name of the town in which she resides
suggested her nom de plume. Miss
Dodge entered the field Of letters while
residing in Washington. She first came
here as a governess in the family Of DR..
Bailey, of the National Era She is re-
membered by those who knew her then
as shy, timid, sensitive little girl, who
could scarcely be induced to mix at all
in society. Struck by her brightness and
originality, DIR. and Mrs. Bailey vainly
endeavored to induce her to see their
visitors and make acquaintances. Pres
emily the Era received sparkling articles
from an unknown writer, signing Gail
Hamilton These were, of course, pub
lished, and their authorship was never
suspected by the BaiIeys who discussed
before the shy little governess the new
contributions to the paper. After some
time Miss Dodge acknowledged herself

aged by her kind friends. She continued
to write for the Era, and when she pub
lished her first book it was under the
auspices of DR.. Bailey, by whom she was
introduced to publisher. Miss Dedge,
while she is not handsome, is rendered
attractive by her pleasant manners and
great vivacity in conversation

OXEN AlLuRE-The experiment Of SUBJ
stituting oxen IN lieu Of horses during the
reign of the horse malady has proved fail
ure, as for every yoke of oxen that succeed
in needing the bchcsts Of their drivers five
times that number prove more stubborn than
the most errutic mule that ever bothered his
owner. Yesterday afternoon pair Of oxen
that were attached to truck at the corner
of Light and Lombard streets not only re-
fused to draw the truck and few barrels of
merchandise placed upon it, but attempted
to gore every one that came near them. The
colored MIN who had the truck ard oxen in
charge fllmed and sWorc at the beasts in q
terrible manner, and at last he was forced to
transfer the barrels to dray and uugcar his
team from the vehicle. Luter in the after
noon another yoke Of oxen became unman-
ageable on Lombard street ncar Charles. and
for nearly half HI hour caused 4 blockade Of
vehicles. Tho oxen, instead Of going for
ward us their driver wished, performed a
circle, and insisted upon backing the cart to
which they were attached into the surround
ing vehicles. Oxen that have been trained
to the yoke prove valuable draft animals, but
to attempt to work green animals is tedious
and improbable. -B0liim0rc -lmcrican.

The Raleigh, n. G.. Poisoning Mystery.

RALEIGH, n. c.. November 12.--The coro-
ner's jury in the case Of Rev. DR.. J. Bruiton
Smith. supposed to have been poisoned by
his family, to-day rendered verdict that the
deceased came to his death on the morning
Of the 1st day Of October, 1872, from the
effects of strychnine mixed in dose of seid-
litz powders administered by Frances L.
Mann, and that Mary i. Smith was the Gus.
todian of the key of closet in which was
found vial of said poisonous drug. Mrs.
Mann; the accused, is the daughter of Mrs.
Smith, the wife of the deceased. DR.. Smith
was al Episcopal clergyman and President of
st. Augustine college, Of this city. The
affair has caused great excitement, as all the
parties held high social positions.
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Mann have been
committed to the county Jail. This evening
application will be made by counsel for re.
lease on writ Of habeas corpus. The senti-
mcnt Of the community is divided as to the
guilt of the parties. The stomach and brains
