EVENING STAR. ANECDOTE OF THE ROTHSCHILDS. Burkhardt, in his clever sketches of the Money Kings, thus gives the chief step in the rise of that now historical family. It isa very axial illustration of ™ Honesty is the best licy :”” Pore season was September, 1793. The Land- the French revelu- tionary banners approac his dominions and waving at his very frontiers. Hastily he packed up his jewels and valuables, together with between two and three millions of tha- lers, and took the way to the ancient city of Frankfort, hoping there to find means of pla- cing his wealt! fecurity. and the jewels of his house in Arrived at the city which had for centuries sent forth the rulers of the “ holy Roman Em- pire,” the fugitive we knocked at the door of an humble Jewish bnaker, Meyer Rothschild, richer in children than in thalers, but withal a distinguished and experienced archeologist and numismatologist. The sovereign, who himself was an expert in these sciences, Yay much respect to the knowledge of the Jew banker, and had ac- tually a few years before bestowed upon him the distinction of the title of ‘‘ Medailleur to his Court.”” ‘© Meyer,’’ he began, as he handed him his well filled case, ‘I know you to honest and conscientious Here is all sess; take it, end return it tome when this tempest shall have blown over, and when Detter times dawn upon us.” **Such vast confidence does me great hon- ~. | seplied the Hebrew, “ but your Highness scust not forget that the republican army is almost before our doors.”” “* We are in the hands of Providenze,”’ re plied the Landgrave. ‘I ask you for no re- ceipt ” ‘The Prince re-entered his vehicle and hur- ried off. without listening to the renewed pro | testations of the man of business. What Meyer Rothschild had anticipated, | duly came to pass. Before s week was over, Frankfort was in the possession of the French troops, and the banker who had been de- bounced as an anti revolutionist, and an ally of the tyrants, found his domicile sacked, and his cash box plundered in the name of liberty and the people. No sooner, however, had the victors left Frankfort, that Meyer Rothschild reopened his banking-house, finding at first credit | among the Jews, and ultimately with all the business world, and soon was reputed richer than ever. In 1802 he was once wore con- sidered as one of the most reliable bankers in Germany. About this time there came a short period of rest for the crowned heads of Germany The Princes of the Rhenish Confederacy rest- ed under the high and forced protection of Napoleon. Raised by the will of the great commander to the dignity of an Elector of the ‘terman Empire, the Landgrave of Hesse re- ceived permission to return to his dominions. On his way he passed through Frankfort. The journals had before informed him of the plun- dering of Rothschild’s house, and he natural- ly believed his own wealth long since a prey to the Jacobins. Still he determined to visit his numismatic friend, if omly to assure him of the continuance of his confidence **Good morrow, Meyer,” said the Elector, with a frank and hearty shake of hands. “ At last we have peace, old friend, but it costs us dearenough Before you stands a ruined man; 28 poor as Job."” ** What! you poor, your Highness?” ‘Certainly, for have not these confounded sans culottes stolen my wealth along with yours? If I donot now too much inconve- nience you, I should like to borrow a smali advance upon the indemnity which I shall re- ceive in Hesse Cassel.’’ ‘An advance is not needed, your High- ness, for all that you confided to my care is aafe and untouched.” “What!” exclaimed the Prince, “and were you not plundered, then?” * The French have taken everything I had, and I was very careful not to excite them by resistance ; otherwise they would have aearch- ed more thoroughly and might have found your diamonds and money where it was hid- den in my cellar.” “How! is it possible?”’ ‘Yes, my surrender was a stra m.: They never found what I had hidden. For the last nine years, in order to indemnify myself for the moneys [ had lost, I have taken the lib- erty of using sume of yours. All my enter- prises have proved successful, and without pereamtimest 4 myself ia the least, I can now return you the entire suin with five per cent interest.’’ The Prince was deeply moved ‘‘ Meyer,”’ he eaid, ‘you are the most hon- orable Jew I have ever heard of. Keep my money, and continue to operate with it. From to-day for two years, I want no return of it, and only two per cent. interest ” And thus Rothschild became a milMonaire Taste Manners. —The following extract from ‘The Widow Bedott Papers’’ satirizes tae fashionable practice of guests flattering the entertainment of their hostess, while she on her part disparages it: “What delightful biscuit,’ says Miss Grimes. ‘They are so,’ says Miss Skinner ; ‘ but Miss Gipson never has poor biscuit.’ ‘0 shaw! says Miss Gipson, ‘you ain’t in airnest; my biscuit is miserable—and not nigh so good ascommon {I don’t think the flour’s fret rate.’ ‘Miss Gipson how dew you make crackers?’ says Miss Stilliman; ‘I never tasted none so good’ ‘Ef can make good 3, but them’s very poor; the oven wa’nt jest right when I put.emin.’ ‘I must have a piece of this cheese, it’s sv good,’ says Miss Lipencott. ‘Where did you get it?’ ‘Well, I got it of Old Daddy Sharpe; he gin- erally makes excellent cheese. FP tell ft: Gipson old Shap’s failed for once—that’s what 1 call poor cheese.’ ‘ Dew taste o’ this plum sass, Miss Peabody,’ says Miss Brewater; “ never sce the beat on’t.’ ‘I'd rather have have these peaches,’ says Miss Peabody; ‘they're deriiciovz. it's a mistery to me how Miss Gipson always has such luck with her presarves. I never dew, and J always take pound for pound tew.’ ‘This apple jel's the clearest that I ever aco,’ says PR iss Parker. ‘How did you make it, Migs Gip- son’ Dont you do it in thesun? I’m sure it don’t look as it had been nigh the fire.’ ‘ Now don’t speak o’ that jel after seeing Miss Parker's, and I was almost sorry that I'd made any presarves since I’d eat some o’ Mias Peabody's and Mies Skinner’s, theirn was so much nicer.’ “So they went on, The whipt cream and custard had to bo gone over, Miss Gipson had to tell jest how ’twas made—what flavorin’ she used, and all that—though she declared she was ashamed on’t The cake was praised up; they must know how much butter there was in this, hew many eggs it took for that, end so forth. Miss Gipson run it down, she could make good cake, but somehow she failed that time. A person who didn’t know how wimmen always go on at such a place, would *a thought that Miss Gipson had tried to have everything the miserablest she possibly could, and tho rest on ’em had never had anything to hum but what was missrabler yet.’” pastlsleesnertbnohein cng inet Lens Stow Poison.—To prove the assertion of Drs Graham, Foustus and Fowler, that smo- king is slow poison, Grant Thorburn, in & letter to the fome Journal, Nov. 22, states that in 1794 there was an old burgomaster, who resided in his mansion on a farm in New York, on the corner of Pine and Nassau streets, in his 99th year, on whom he used to call and smoke a pipe ‘‘ This,” says Mr. Grant, ‘< was sixty-two years ago, and 1 hove smoked six pipes on an average, every day since ra New War to Accommopare BoaRpars. Most of our readers, says the St. Louis Lea- der, will remember how frequently, a few months ago, inquests were held on the bodies of ‘unknown men found floating in the river.’’ Seareely a day passed without one or more such inquests, and some days there have been as many as five. Almost without exception these men were ised, from their = ance and dress, as deck hands on the rive but that was all that could be discovered eon - rc | them. There was generally nothing found in their pockets except some ». pocket knife or pipe. Fer several nai Poa there has been scarcely an inquest of this description held, and the two facts taken together present » quite significant aspect. Some cireumstances which bave lately come to our knowledge fur- nish the solution. About year and a half ago a Spaniard opened a “house on the levee, near the water. " engine house, which was frequented by ao great num- ber of boatmen, principally deck hands. _ We learn that it was # constantly recurring circumstance for boarders to leave in a very manner; even their most intimate being aware of it until they were - The fact figally to attract at- eo it was observed the men who Were never seen heard of. reliant At length a watch was set, and the keeper of the house was seen at a late hour one night to sarry out a man in pparent state of stupor, and proceed to the river with him as though he were carrying him to some boat. The watch followed him, and saw him delib erately throw the man into the river. An at- tempt was made to arrest him, but without success, and nothing has been seen or heard of him sincb. From that time to this but few bodies of un- known men have been found floating in the river. There can be but little doubt that the villanous Spaniard gave bis boarders drugged liquors, and, <fter robbing, threw them into the river. We obtained this statement from an ex-policeman of some note. my friends not Om or Musraxp in Regumatisa.—Where one-third of the male population complain to some extent of rheumatic pains, in the fickle climate of New Engiand, but more ially ulong the sea shore, physicians bave it in their power to mitigate au immense amount of se- vere suffering by*prescribing the volatile oi! of mustard. {t is employed as a rubefacient, being first diluted in its own weight of alcohol at forty degrees.
