The B6M0n w*? Soptdn^r, 1198. The <J Laudgrave uf HewoCussol ??*4he French r revolutionary baudo approaching lai? do- ] minions, and waving at bit very frothing. I Hastily he packed up his jewels and vak?-l< bias, together with between two and three % millions of thalers, and took the way to the gi y aucieut city of Frankfort, hoping to find means of placing his wealth and jewels of liis house in security. Arrived at the city which had for centuries sent forth the rulers of the "holy Rotuan Empire," the fugitive Landgrave knocked at the door of an humble Jewish banker, Meyer Rothschild, richer in children than in thalers, but withal a distinguished and experienced archeologist and numismatologist. The sovereign, who himself was an oxpert in these sciences, paid tuuch respect to the knowledge of tho Jew banker, and had actually, a few years before, bestowod upon hiin the distinction of the title of"Mcclaileur to his Court." "Meyer," he began, as he handed hiin his well-filled case, "1 know you to be honest and conscientious. Here is nil I possess#; take it, and roturn it to me when this tempest shall have blown over, and when better times dawu upon us." "Such vast confidence does mo great honor," replied the Hebrew; "but your Highness must not forget that the republican army is almost before our doors." "We are in the hands of Providence," replied the Laudgrave. "I nsk for no re ceipt." The Prince re entorod his vchiclo and hurried off, without listening to tho renow?.l t ? _r .? * i vu piuivahitUUIil Ul IIIU IIIHI1 Ul OUSIIieSS. What Meyer Rothschild had anticipated duly came to pass, Before a week was over Fiankfort was in the possession of the French troops, and tho banker, who had been denounced as an anti revolutionist, and an Ally of the tyrants, found his dotnicil sacked, and his cash-box plundered iu the name of liberty and the people. No sooner, however, had the victors left Frankfort, than Meyer Rothschild re opened bis banking house, finding, at first, crodit among the Jews, and ultimately with all the business world, and 6oon was reputed ticker than ever. In 1802 he was once more considered as one of the most reliable bankers iu Germany. About this time there came a slioit poriod of rest for the crowned heads of Germany. Tho princes of tho Rhenish Confederacy rested under tho high and forced protection of Napoleon. Raised by the will of tho great commander to the dignity of an E'ector of the German Empire, the Landgrave of 11 esse received permission to return to his dominions. On his way he fiasscd through Frankfort. Tho journals iad before informed him of the plundering of Rothschild's house, and he naturally be lieved his own wealth long since a prey to the Jrxobius. Still he determined to visit his numisrnaslic friend, if only to assure him of the continuance of his confidence. "Good morrow, Meyor," said the Elector, with a frank and hearty shake of hands. "At last we have peace, old friend, but it ccb'js us dear enough. Before you stands a ruined man, as poor as Job. "Whatl you poor, your Lliglinoss!" "Certainly, for have not those confound ed slans culottes stolen my wealth along with yours? If I do not now too much in convenience you, I should like to borrow a small advance upon the indemnity which I shall receive in llesse-Cassel" "An advauce is not needed for your Iliirhnefi!;- for nil i)m? mn ??-. ?>? O ' ? J VVU..UVM .W care is safe and untouched." "What!" exclaimed the Prince, "and were you not plunderod, then?" "The Freuch hare takeu everything ] had, and 1 was very careful not to excite them by resistance; otherwise they would have searched more thoroughly, nud might have found your diamonds and monoy where they were hidden in my cellar." "How! Is it possible?" "Yos, 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, I can now return you the entire sum with live per cent, interest." The Prince was deeply moved. "Mever," he said, "you are the most honorable Jew 1 have ever heard of. Keep my money, and continue to onorau with if From to (lay for two yean I want no re turn of it, and only two per cent, interest." And thusRolhocbild became a millionaire. Old Meyer died in 1812. Before he died be bad his five son*?Anseleni, Solomon, Nathan, Charles and James?called to bis bedaide. They received bis blessing, and swore to him to be true to tho law of Moses, never to separate from each other, and never to tindoitnke a great enterprise without having first obtained the counsol and advice of their mother. ' Observe well these points, ;,nd you will 6oon bo the richest among the rich, and tho world will belong to you." The old Ilebiow proved a prophet. A financial Pentarchy was founded at bis grave, and soon erected its thrones in the five principal cities of Europe: Frankfort, Vienna, Naples, London and Paris. The deposit of tho Elector of Ilesso Cas sol continued to produce rich harvests to the heirs of Meyer Rothschild. In 1614, at the Vienna Congress, the Elector related to the assembled sovereigns the story of the Frankfort invasion, and of the integrity of tho old Jew. At once the house at Frankfort obtained tho custom of the "Iloly Alliance." It was commissioned with ull tho important loans which at that liino were negotiated by the Kinpcrors of Russia mid Austria, And the Kings of Eng land, Prussia, Denmark, Naples and Sardinia. In overy ono of these groat finan cial operations each of the five Rothschilds had a share. James, the youngest of tho family, received the loan of two hundred millions which France needed to make friends of IU enemies. Disposing over enormous capitals, the five brothers created active and energetic ?tUf responding agencies- in ?*erv part of Europe. They received information of the slightest slo k fluctuations in all the different and most remote places. They negotiated with the most perfect security; and their operations remained wrapped in the most impenetrable secrecy, and were secured by certain success in speculation of tho money market. Three of old Meyer's sons seom moro particularly to have inherited hisgoni-1 < us. These are Nathan, Solomon and James, j Nathan deserves espocial mention. I Scarcely of age in 1798, he located himself'. I X Manchester, with - a capital of fire bun-1 Ired thousaud francs, which he had bor-I owed from the pateru&l coffers. In four rears he had trippied his capital, removed lis banking house to London, where the >xtent of Ins business soon assumed perfectly gigantic proportion. "**$n sorred his government as inter* incdiator>(^h the continental powers, who at that time ''were fighting against France, aud be alouo continued to extend credit to the Cabinet of St. James. He was at Brussels in 1815, during the battle of Waterloo, and immediate); after it hastened to London, where he arrived twonty-four hours in advance of the official news of the victory. During these hours ho went ou Change, bought everything that was offered, and thus gained at one stroke of business thirty millions. The invasion of 1815 quadrupled his fortune, and despite of the most gigautic banking undertaking, he never neglected oven the smallest matter of business. lie died in 1836. rhysically, Nathan Rothschild had repulsive features. His deportment was that of the evident parvenu. To him is ascribed the first plan of re-uniting the children of Israel by the bauks of Jordan; he designed to buy from the Turks that country which was promised to his race. They would then, from pure gratitude, have made him King of Palestine; hut whether they would hnvoj exchanged their European wealth and bu-j siness for the land of the Bible still remains: an opou question. Our lamented friend, the late Major Noah, was a zealous and earnest co-laborer of Rothschild in that cause. Nathan married the sister of Isaac Cohen, who had a dowry of fifteen million francs. James, the head of the Paris house, went from Vienna to Paris, to establish hitmell there, at the very moment when the sceptre fell from the hands of Napoleon, lie was the principal bauker in the loans of the Restoration. Ho and his brother Nathan received the billion of war expenses and two billions of indemnity paid to the allied powers. That enormous stream of money flowed through their coders, and how much of it remained there has never been ascertained. Aftor the downfall of the old dynasty, Baron James offered his gold-filled hand to tho monarchy of the July revolution, and the hand was gratefully grasped. The Barou and his wife now obtained tho often before refused entree at Court, nnd the Priuces often appeared in Rothschild's saloons. Thus, under Louis Phillippo's rulo, the influence of the Rothschilds daily and visibly increased. In fact agio reigned supreme, and even art and talent contended for tho honor, and often in vain, to obtain the entree to tho hotel in the rue Lafilte, for Baron James was often very particular in the choice of his guests. It is woll known that since 1852 the peculiar financier has become Consul General of Austria. Tho aocret history of the first half of Louis Phillippo's reign baa yet to be written, but only one who is thoroughly acquainted with the life and business of Baron Rothschild will be able to write it correctly. At the lime of tho conltion in 1830, for instance, the millionaire financier alone created rain or sunshino at his will. The Tuileries nnd the hotel in the rue Lafilte stood in the most intimate connection, nnd the Duke de Monlpeusier was one of the regular dancing partners of M'lle Charlotte Rothschild. The banker baron obtained the royal concession for tho Northern Railroad, nnd the demon of stock-jobbing awakened by him soon spread over the entire nation, to tho injury of small speculators and to the exclusive enriching of the financiers, who, it is said, divided half a billion among themselves : However, there are many traits and instances of patriarchal benevolence to bo told of the Prince of the Bank. When the short harvest of 1846 seemed to threaten a universal famine in 184^, Baron Rothschild attempted to aveit the impending evil by buying upon his own account immense quantities of breadstuff* in Europe and America. At the hall in Paris, grain and flour were then sold below the market prices, aud the profits of this immense speculation were to bo applied to furnishing bread for all the needy and huugry. A special bakery sold biead to the poor at a very groat reduction from the price charged by the regular bakers. But the poople in this instance would not believe the benevolent intentions of tho donor, railed against imaginary usury in grain, believed the most absurd and ridiculous reports?among others, that Rothschild had bought spoiled flour aud had made it palatable by an admixture of sweet almonds. Of course, they never thought that such an admixture would have made the bread three times as expensive. Those same sweet almonds of Baron Rothschild's contributed a good share to tho February revolution. Ever ready for adding fuel to the flames; over ready to excite the masses, and delighting in stirring up mischief, the National said of the Baron Rothschild, that he had mixed his flour with the sweat of the people, which, of course, would havo produced very objectionable bread. At the same time a number of pamphlets against Rothschild made their appearance, and whilst tho people thus rewarded his charitable efforts, their benefactor in reality lost heavy sums, as he could not dispose of the provisions ho had procured. The revolution of 1848 filled tho houso of Rothschild with terror. The Baron heard that the rabble was burning down bis country houses and castle. With his natural shrewdness, lie perceived that his flight would be the signal for an unalterable confiscation of all his numerous possessions, and he had the courage to remain. Numerous anecdotes are in circulation illustrative of his presence of inind and firmness during the trying day- of '48. We will not, however, repeal them all here. One especially has t>een often told in the papers. It relates to a call upon him by a rough party of Red Republicans, demanding an equal distribution of his property. He admitted their estimate of his wealth was correct, computed the population of France, atnonz whom his money was to be equally distributed, and paid his revolutionary as saiiantf two franca each, ar. their proper shaie in an equal distribution. In 1880 Rothschild had given 15,000 francs. This was a great deal, for no one had threatened hiin. In 1840 he signed 50,000 francs for tho wounded nnd unemployed laborers. At the samo time bis son Alphonse, who had just come of ago, at once wrote to the Provisional Government, petitioning for his right of citizenship. It is said that just at the moment whou James, almost overcome wiOi terror, was ff?9P^&a 5ficdt :W*Z *&Bm p? ^.' " - I cfmnge/^ He approved of tbe idea. A manoeuvre of 'bulla' which he organized one fine morning, followed up immediately by a manoeuvre of 'bears,' left a net profit of 850,000 francs, which ho at once devoted to the erection of a Jewish Asylum in the rue Picpus. By his total absence of courtesy and manner, the sovereign banker has created more ill-feelings than the loud ring of his millions hns ever created envy. lie takes a great pleasure in humiliating men of talent. A short time ago, however, on such an occasion, the impertinence of the man of money was proper and spiritedly reproved. Cremieux, who had never seen his moneyed co-religionist, met him one day in the synagogue, and having occasion to speak to him uponmatters concerning the congregation, introduced himself without coremony, and commenced to speak upon his businoss. "And are you really M. Cremieux!" asked Rothschild, measuring him with his looks from head to foot. ' Yes, Baron, I have alroady done myself the honor of mentioning my name." "Certainly; but I thought M. Cremieux, I the famous advocate, should be bigger than j you are." At Ihoso silly, as well as impertinent words, Cremieux bit bis lips, but proceeded to 6ay what he had to say upon business, and Rothschild garo clear and distinct answers. "But are you really Baron Rothschild?" said Cremieux, interrupting him. "What! do you chance to doubt it?" "Certainly. 1 thought tho great Baron Rothschild should be a bolter bred man." With this nnccdole we will close the sketch of this family, and especially of this man, who, despite of the envy of the aristocracy of birth and of genius, and simply by his shrewdness and the might of his millions, now forty years past has controlled tho destinies of our country ruoro than anyother power. A Pocket Intellect. llero is something new: a calculating machine to bo carried in the [rocket, and set in operation in a moment. "The attention of tho learned world ia now engrossed," Bays tho Itulejiendence Jielf/e, "by a now invention, which promises to be of universal usefulness. Mr. Thomas, of Colmar, after thirty years of hard study and assiduous labor, lias at last solved tho problem of calculation by mechanism. His machine, which ho has called I'Aritb mometre,' is applicable to the mechanical solution of all arithmetical operations, from tho simplest to the most complicated ones. This instrument solves, with infallililo correctness, not only tho four rules?addition, ouinraciioii, multiplication ana division?L>ut also Ascertains tlio powers of quantities, extracts the roots of numbers, resolves triangles, reduces orJinary and decimal fractions, and defines the rules of proportion, etc. Its rapidity of execution is such as to defy the ablest calculators. A multiplication of eight numbers with eight numbers is executed in eighteen seconds; a division of sixteu cyphers through eight cyphers, in twenty-four seconds. The machinery is so simple that, after the expiration of five minutes of instruction, the most ignorant head knows enough at calculation to defy with its help all calculators in rapidity and correctness. The 'Aritbmometro' is placed in a small, light box, whicli can be easily carriud in a pocket, and is so constructed that its mcchauisin can scarcely over be deranged. It is already in operation in several great comi morcial bouses, the hou?e of Rothschild, and in the Mint of France, and it will soon be as common as letter presses." 1Iok.se Meat in Paris.?Tho French restaurants aro just now serving up horse meat as one of tho greatest "delicacies of the sea son;" and the French journals have a good deal to say on the subject. In Berlin, also, horse meat is considered a great luxury. A gentleman?an American gentleman?who has recently been residing in that city, as* sures us that, cooked in vinegar, it is better than beef or venison; and such is tho rago for it among epicures, that a good fat horse will bring rnoro money in tho butchers' shambles than when sold for any other purpose. Tho authorities havo mado it an offence, punishablo by fino and imprisonment, for a horse to be killed in Berlin without a physician's certificate that tho aniinni was not diseased. How long will it be boforo our gourmands, with Kuropean tastes, will affect a fashionable relish for horse flesh) Thirty Children.?About a year ago j Mr. Jesse Ilarbor, of Concord township, in | this county, informed us that he was tho | fathc of children, and thr.t In j??.i without hope that ho would yet be bleasod with tiio thirtieth.

Mr. Harbor is in his 72d year, was one of the early pioneer settlers of the county, and is remarkably | active for a man of his years, as will readily beinforred. He has beon married twice. By his first wife he had 13 children, 12 of whom he raised. By his second wife, who is 42 years of age, he has 17 children, niA. king 30 in all.?
