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

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'.

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

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

without hope that ho would yet be bleasod
with tiio thirtieth. Well, sure enough, the
old gontleman was in town the other day,
and told us that his wife presented him
with his thirtieth child. 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.

Thie preparation is getting into uee all over one
country. The numcrocj letters we receive from
our various agents, informing us of cures effected
in their immediate neighborhoods, warrant us in
saying it is one of the best, if Lot the rery belt.
Cough Medicine now before the public. It almost
invariably relieves, and not unfrequently cures tho
rery worst eases. When all other Cough preps rations
hare soiled, this has relieved the patient, as
Druggists, dechrs in Medicines, and Physicians,
can testify. Ask the Agent in your nearest town,
what has been his experience of the effects of this
medicine. It he hits been selling it for any length
of lime lie will tell you ^
IT IS THE BEST MEDICINE ETTA NT.
Below we give a few extracts from letH rs w?
haw received lately regarding the virtues of this
medicine.
Dr. 8. S. Osiiu, ofKnoxville, Gs . says: I / or o
h en ntinc your JAtervsort and Tar rery ei trustee!
y in my practice far three years pact, anil,
it it tcith pleasure / elate my belief in its si rtcBiouiTV
oven all other articles irith tchick J
am acquainted, for which it is recommended."
Messrs. Ftttgersld dfe Benners, writing tram
I Wayne*v''h-, N. C. say: "The l.ircrwmt and
Tar i* becoming daily more popular in this Country,
and we think jitttlv so. All who hare tried
it apeak hi commendable terms if it, and say it
is very beneficial in alleviating the complaints for
which it is recommended."
Messrs. Fitzgerald & Benners, writing from
Wiiynesville, ST. C., say: The IJrerwort and
Tar is becoming daily more popular in this Country,
and we tiiink justly so. All who hare
tried it speak in commendable terms of it, and
say it is rery beneficial in alleviating the complaints
for vhieh it is recommended.-'
Our Agent in rirkens DistrH: . 8. C., Mr.
K. McFnll, assure* us "that he uses it with great,
benefit in his own family, and recommends it to hht
neighbors." lie gives an instance of a Negro woman,
in his vicinity, who hud been suffering with
; d.seasc of the Lungs for years, attended with scI
vere cough, who was relieved by the Liverwort
! and Tar.
Such arc the good reports w? hear of this Midi*
