"Such vrsi confidence does mo great * honor," replied tho Hebrew; "but your r Highness must not forget that the republi- ? can army is almost before our doors." ?.' "We are in the hands of Providenco," 81 roplied the Landgrave. "I ask for no re jV ceipt." 1 The Prince re entered his vehicle and ef hurried otf, without listening to the renow- c' ed protestations of the man of business. What Meyer Rothschild had anticipated w duly came to pass. Before a week was over . Fiankfort was in the possession of the [ French troops, and tho banker, who had , boeu denounced as an anti-revolutionist, and ? an ally of tho tyrants, found his domicil sacked, and his cash-box plundered in tho name of liberty and the people. No soonor, however, had the victors left v Frankfort, than Meyer Rothschild ro open- ||| ed his banking house, finding, at first, crodit | among the Jews, and ultimately with all ^ the busiuess world, and soon whs reputed richer than ever. In 1802 he was once ^ more considered as one of the most reliable j bankers iu Germany. About this time thoro camo a shoit period of rest for the crowned hea ls of Gcr- ^ many. Tho princes of tho Rhenish Con- Q| federacy rested under tho high and forced protection of Napoleon. Raised by tho jf] will of tho great commander to the digni- ^ ly of an E'ector of tho German Empire, the Landgrave of Hesse received permission to j return to his dominions. On his way he passed through Frankfort. Tho journals had before informed hiin of the plundering | of Rothschild's house, aitd he naturally be lieved his owtt wealth long since a prey to the Jacobins, Still he determined to visit his ttitmistnasiic friend, if ouly to assure him of the continuance of his confidence. j, "Good morrow, Meyer," said the Elector, Q| with a frank and hearty shake of hands. ^ "At last we have peace, old friond, but it w ccs'js us dear enough. Before you stands a ^ ruined ntan, as poor as Job. "What! you poor, your Uighnoss!" o| "Certainly, for have not those confound ed slum culottes stolen my wealth along m with yours? If I do not now too tnuch in ^ convenience you, I should like to borrow a j small advance upon the indemnity which I shall receive in Hesse-Cassel." "An advance is not needed for your Highness, for all that you con tided to my care is safe and untouched." j "What!" exclaimed the Prince, "and &1 were you not plundered, then?" 8fl "The Freuch hare takeu everything 1 ^ had, and 1 was very careful not to excite them by resistance; otherwise they would have searched more thoroughly, and might ((t have found your diamonds and monoy ^ where thoy were hidden in my cellar." "How! is it possible!" "Yes, my surrender was a stratagem. They never found what I had hidden. For the last nine years, in order to indemnify ^ myself for the moneys I had lost, I have ta- ^ ken the liberty of using some of yours. A'.l my enterprises have proved successful, and without embarrassing myself in the least, 1 j can now return you the entiro sum with iivo per cent, interest." ,i( The Prince was deeply moved. "Mover," he said, "you are the most honorable Jew 1 have ever heard of. Keep my |j, money, and continue to operate with it. Qi From to day for two years I want no re j;( turn of it, and only two per cent, interest." And thus Rothschild became a millionaire. [ ' Old Meyer died in 1812. Before ho died lie had hit five sous?

They received his blessing, and swore , j to him to be true to the law of Moses, never to seDarnte from each oilier ami nmor .. to undertake a gro.nl enterprise without liaring first obtained the counsel and advice of their mother. ov ' Observe well tlieso points, and you will soon be the richest among the rich, and the vi world will belong to you." U) The old Ilebrow proved a prophet. A ? financial Pentarchy was founded at his ^ grave, and soon orecied its thrones in the ^ rive principal cities of Europe: Frankfort, cj Vienna, Naples, London and Paris. 'I'he deposit of the Elector of Ilesso Cas- ^ sel continued to produce rich harvests to the heirs of Merer Rothschild. In 1814, at the Vienna Congress, the Elector related to the assembled sovereigns Qf the story of tho Frankfort invasion, and of me integrity of the old .lew. At onco the |,j house at Frankfort obtained the custom of n, the "Holy Alliance." It was commissioned j]j with all tho important loans which at that t,| time were negotiated by tho Einpcror9 of Russia and Austria, and the Kinga of Eng land, Prussia, Denmark, Naples and Sar- |u rlinia. In overy ono of these groat finan ne cial operations each of tho five Rothschilds wj liad a bIiarc. os James, the youngest of tho family, re- It reived the loan of two hundred millions pa which France needed to make friends of er| Its enemies. mi Disposing over enormous capitals, the re< five brothers created active anu energetic Ii|1 corresponding agencies in every part of Eu rope. They received information of the *R' slightest sto k fluctuations in all the differ- ?h ent and most remote placet. They negotiat' d with the most perfect security; and thv?r fra operations remained wrapped in tho most ha impenetrable secrecy, and were secured l>y 50 certain success in speculation of the money pl< market. Three <>f old Meyer's sons seom AI more particularly to have inherited his geni- on u*. These aro Nathan, Solomon and James, j pel Nathan deserves especial mention. Kcarcely of age in 1798, he located bimsolf' Jai % 0 \ Manchester, with a capital of fire bunad thousand franca, which he had borwed from the paternal coffers. In four ars he had tr'ppled his capital, removed i banking house to London, where the tent of his business soon assumed perfectgigantic proportion. sorted his government as interediator -wjtli the continental powers, who that time vw?ro fighting against France, id be atoue continued to extend credit to te Cabinet of St. James. He was at Brussels in 1815, during the ittle of Waterloo, and immediately after hastened to Loodon, where he arrived ['only-four hours in advance of the official jwa of the victory. During these hours 9 went ou Change, bought everything that as offered, and thus gained at one stroke ' business thirty millions. The invasion of 1615 quadrupled his forme, and despite of the most gigantic bankg undertaking, he never neglected even to smallest matter of business. He died in 1836. Physically, Nathan Rothschild had repulse features, llis deportment was that ol ie evident parveou. To him is ascribed te first plan of re uniting the children ol rael by the banks of Jordan; ho designed > buy from the Turks tbnt country which as promised to his race. They would then, om pure gratitude, have made hi in King 'Palestine; but whether tbey would have (changed their European wealth and buno*9 for the land of tho Bible still remain! i opou question. Our lamented friend, te lute Major Noah, was a zoalous and irnest co-laborer of Rothschild in thai tuse. Nathan married tho sister of Isaac Cohen, ho had a dowry of fifteen million francs. James, the bead of the Paris house, wenl om Vienna to Paris, to ostablish himsell lere, at the very moment when the sceptre II from the hands of Napoleon. He was to principal bnuker in tho loans of the ie&toration. He and his brother Nathan >coived the billion of war expenses and eo billions of indemnity paid to tho allied jwers. That enormous stream of monej jived through their coffers, aud how much ' it remained there has never boen asccrlined. After tho downfall of the old dynasty, aron James offered his gold-filled hand t< ie monarchy of the July revolution, aud ie hand was gratefully grasped. The lia m and his wife now obtained tho often bo ire refused entree at Court, and tho l'rinwM rton appeared in Rothschild's saloons. Thus, under Louis Phillippo's rule, the ifluenco of the Rothschilds daily and visily increased. In fact agio reigned supreme, id even art and talent contended for the anor, and often in vain, to obtain the eneo to tho hotel in the rue Lafiltc, for Barn Janies was often very particular in tho loicc of bis guests. It is well known that since 1852 the iculiar financier has become Consul Gennl of Austria. Tho secret history of the first half of Louis hillippe's reigu has yet to bo written, but jly one who is thoroughly acquainted with io life and busiuess of Baron Rothschild ill be able to write it correctly. At the me of t he coaltion in 1830, for instance, io millionaire financier alone created rain sunshine at his will. The Tuileries and le hotel iii the rue Lafilto stood in the lost intimate connection, and the Duke i Montpensier was oue of the regular danug partners of M'lle Charlotte Rothschild, The banker baron obtained the royal com tssion for tho Northern Kailrond, and the sinon of stock jobbing awakenod by him >on spread over tho entire nation, to the jury of small speculators and to thcoxcluvo enriching of tho financiers, who, it is iid, divided half a billion among themIvo*. However, there are many trails and inanccs of patriarchal benevolenco to be told ' tho Prince of the Bank. Wheu the short irvest of 1840 seemed to threaten a uniitsal famine in 184V, Baron Rothschild tempted to avert the impending evil by tying upon his own account immense J> ? i . .iiiiumes ui nreausiuiH ill J'.uropo and mnrica. At the hull in Paris, grain and lur were then sold below the market prices, id the profits of this immense speculation ere to ho applied to furnishing broad for 1 the needy and hungry. A special bakery sold biead to the poor , a very great reduction from the price targed by tho regular bakers. Hut the jople in this instance would not believe le benevolent intentions of tho donor, railI against imaginary usury in grain, benved the most absurd and ridiculous reirts?among others, that Rothschild had lught spoiled flour nud had made it palaihlo by an admixture of swoct almonds, f course, they never thought that such an linixturo would have made the bread three rues as expensive. Those same sweet almonds of Haron othschild's contributed a good share to 10 February revolution. Kver ready for adding fuel to the flames; rer ready to excite the masses, and delightg in stirring up mischief, the National iid of the Haron Rothschild, that he had ixed his flour with the sweat of the peoe, which, of course, would havo produced :ry objectionable bread. At the saipo mo a number of pamphlets against Rothstild made their appearance, and whilst tho jople thus rewarded his charitable efforts, mir benefactor in reality lost heavy sums, i ho could not disposo of the provisions he u) procured.

One pecially has l>een often told in the papers, relates to a call upon him by a rough .rty of Red Republicans, demanding an [lint distribution of his property. He aditled their estimate of his wealth was cor:t, computed the population of Franco, long whom his money was to bo equally itrihutod; and paid his revolutionary aslanta two frnncs each, as their proper are in an equal distribution. In 1830 Rothschild had given 15,000 tncs. This was a great deal, for no ono d threatened him. In 1840 ho signed ,000 francs for the wounded and unemiyod laborers. At the same tiino his son phonso, who had just come of ngo, at ce wrote to tho Provisional Government, litioning for hia right of citizenship.
