THE ROTHSCHILD FAMILY.The Greatest Ftnax-clera of the Affe.

The founder of the family, Meyer An¬selm Rothschild, Baron of the AustrianEmpire, was born ir, 1743 in the Juden-ga«se or Jews' Alley, of Frankfbrt-on-the-Main. The bouse i:i which be firstsaw the light of day w&s a humble andunpretending dwelling in an obscureand dirty quarter of the city. His father,Anselm Moses, a shrewd but conscien¬tiously bouest trading Israelite, irteud-ec him for the ministry, and so dearlyhad be set his heart on this calling for hissou that on his death "bed he counselledthe ; outhful Meyer, then only IS years ofage, to proceed to Fürth, in Bavaria,there to study theology in order to be¬come a rabbi. Provided with the neces¬

sary meaus, the orphan obeyed the wishof bis deceased father, and spent sometime in the study of the Talmud andRabbinical literature. Having, how¬ever, imbibed a taste for commercialpursuits, which all the- honors of a pro¬fessional-life were insufficient to eradi¬cate, he abandoned l:he idea of enteringthe ministry, and returned to bis* nativecity, where, commencing at the lowestround of the ladder, he steadily andperseveringly mounted, until, by thetime he had reached his seventeenthyear, be had gained .in excellent reputa¬tion for business ability and whole-souled integrity. A prominent bankerof Hanover, Herr Opperheim, becomingacquainted with the young manand de¬tecting in him the germs of future great¬ness, offered bini a situation, which was:at once accepted. Soon the clerk gainedthe confidence of the employer and be-came associate manager, which positionhe held fo: many years, until finally heresolved, to return to Frankfort and em¬bark in business on his awn account. Inbis twenty-seventh year he married Gu¬dula Schwapper, and received with bera liberal dowry. By this estimable lady1he-had ten children, five'sons and fivedaughters. The former of these subse¬quently composed that firm which, de¬scending from generation to generation,is likely, to survive as long as many ofthe'.royal dynasties.Meyer Anaelm embarked in finance

and became a 'money changer, and ex¬

change broker, which business naturallydeveloped into all the branches ofgeneral banking. About this time anevent occurred which exercised a power¬ful influence in determining the futureof Rothschild and in laying the basis forhis immense wealth. The Landgrave ofHesse Cassel, William IX,. who after¬ward became Elector under the title ofWilliam I., seeking a.banker with whomto deposit the vast sums of. money in¬herited from his father, Frederick II.,sent for Rothschild, who bad been re¬commended to him by Baron Estorff,the latter having learned the bankers'sworth while he was yet a clerk with HerrOppenheim.. On reaching the palace andentering the apartment of the Prince,Rothschild found him and the Baron en¬

gaged in a game of chess. Taking up a

position behind the Landgrave's chair,the future millionaire watched the boardclosely and ' silently. The game was

against William, who, at length in doubtwhat move to make, turned to the bank-o:r and suddenly asked him if he un¬

derstood chess. "Well enough, yourHighness," he replied, "to induce me,were I playing, to castle on the king'sside." Tbc Prince acted on the sugges¬tion of his visitor, and turned defeatinto victory.' Placing his hand on Roths¬child's shoulder, "You are a wise man,"said he, ''and if you are. so good a chess¬player, you must have a very clear headfor business." Trifling as this incidentvas, it was the commencement of afriendship between the Prince and Roth¬schild, who was soon appointed' theroyal banker, to the. no small surprise ofhis competitors, who all wondered whyWilliam should pass tbjtm by and selectthe Hebrew for so lesponsible and confi¬dential a position. About $#),000,000were thus transferred tov the keeping ofthe banker. He. proved worthy of thegreat trust, for he served the Landgravethrough his later troubles with zeal andfidelity, and was the means of savinghis wealth from felling into the handsof the French Napoleon, after the' battleof Jena, in .1806, pronounced the for¬feiture of the Landgrave's estate, andordered his. army to march on the cap¬ital. William, who had in his palacevault about £1,000,000 in silver, to¬gether with other valuable treasure,sent, in his extremity, for Rothschild,and offered him the free use of all thisproperty, without interest, if he wouldbat remove, it to s place of safety. This,with the aid of. bin .Jewish friends, thebanker succeeded in accomplishing, andit is said that during, the hostile occupa¬tion of the city by the French, thetreasure was concealed in large wine-casks in the cellar of Rothschild'sbouse. When, however, eight yearsafterward, William-returned as Elector,Meyer Anselm was dead, but bis eldestsou, Anselm, accounted for every cent,and furnished the Elector with a fullstatement of his wealth, to which wasadded the interest. This latter, how¬ever, William declined to receive, onthe ground that he would havo losteverything had it not been for thefidelity of the father. The full amountwas just ready for delivery when ther.ews arrived that the great Corsican hadescaped from Elba. This so alarmedWilliam that he begged Anselm Roth¬schild to continue to Seep the money at1! per cent, interest per annum. For a

Kriod of no less than nine years this¦ge deposit continued to remain with

the firm, at the expiration of which timeit was delivered to William's successor,every penny thereof being strictly ac¬counted for.

Meyer Rothschild died in the oldhouse in the Judengasse in 1812, beingthen in his seventieth year. His widowsurvived him 37 years, and when nearly100 years old she, too, died in the samedwelling in which she aud her husbandhad lived, in which her children hadbeen born, and where they had all hadsuch remarkable prosperity. The wealthleft by the founder of the family hasbeen estimated at $20,000,000, but thisis merely conjecture, for upon such mat¬ters it has always been the policy of thefamily to preserve a strict silence. Oftheir numerous agents, accountants andemployees, there is, perhaps, not onethat knows anything of their private af¬fairs beyond what is actually indispen¬sable for the proper performance of thebusiness upon which each may be en¬

gaged. Be this as it may, however, itis certain that the old Rothschild was

possessed of vast wealth, and that, tohis credit be it said, he made good useof it. His heart was ever ready to re¬

spond to the call of the deserving, andit was his greatest delight to dispensehis charity where it was most needed,and in a manner so plain and unosten¬tatious that often the happy recipientwas ignorant of the-donor. Through thewretched quarter in which he dwelt,and through the many abodes of povertythat existed in Frankfort, the million¬aire banker would wander at night,thrusting money into the hands of theneedy, distributing alms bountifully al¬most before they were solicited, andstopping neither to inquire into thecreed or nationality of the recipient norto receive gratitude for bis generousdeeds. Like many of bis charitable co¬

religionists, he believed that the truestcharity, which is most acceptable in tbesight of God, is not that which is parad¬ed in the public print or in the openlight of day before an admiring multi¬tude, but that which is done by stealth,which no eye seeth save that Eternal Eyewhich neither sleepeth. nor slumberetb.The central >ind most conspicuousre of this group cfjve brothers was

n Nathan Meyer 'Rothschild/ He

bad scarcely reached his majority whenhe was sent to England by bis father to

represent the firm in the city of- Man¬chester. Commencing bis career in1800 as a purchaser of goods forthe Continent, he soon amassed aconsiderable fortune and removed toLondon, where be took up his abode andmarried a daughter of Levi Cohen, oneof the richest and most prominent Jewsin the metropolis. In 1808, at the timeof the commencement of the war withSpain, the extraordinary means of Na¬than Meyer were made apparent tothe mercantile world. Through theagency of his father, large sums ofmoney were placed at his disposal, andthese were invested with such goodjudgment that his capital rapidly in-crowed. Gradually his transactionspervaded the whole of the Continent, no

operations in Europe having existed on

entered into competition with the power¬ful banking house of Goldsmid, anotherprominent Hebrew, and undertook ven¬tures which tbe leading bankers of theday were too timid to touch. In 1810he was brought in close connection withthe Government. The Iron Duke, wbileengaged on the Peninsula, bad madesome drafts which tbe Treasury couldnot meet. Rothschild, anticipating theresult of the Conti: jntal war, purchasedthese at a liberal discount, renewedthem to r.be Government, which subse¬quent!v redeemed them at par. Thisoperation greatly enlarged his capital,his opportunities,.and Eis connections.The Government e nployed him to trans¬mit subsidies to tba Continent. By theinterest of the Landgrave, he was ap¬pointed agent for the payment of the$12,000,000, which, by the treaty ofToepliiz, England had to pay her Ger¬man allies. As might be expected,large profits accrued to the bouse bythese transactions. When the greatbattle off Waterloo took place, Roths¬child knew the r suit 43. hours beforethe news of tbe victory reached London.The means of communication establish¬ed by tbe house were truly wonderful.Carrier pigeons and fast-sailing boats oftheir own were used for tbe transmissionof news. Reports in cipher of every im¬portant event wert' tied under the wingsof the birds which were constantly ar¬

riving in London, while at tbe sametime trtisty agents were crossing tbechannel in the stormiest weather. Tbesensational story vhich has occasionallybeen circulated that during the famousbattle, Nathan Meyer was presenton thefield, hanging on .o the skirts of Wel¬lington, and that, as soon as tbe victory-was gained, he hurried to the coast,where he paid a bcatman 2,500 francs totake him across to Dover, is absolutelyfalse, without even the slightest founda¬tion in fact It is simply one of themany sensational falsehoods got upabout tbe family to pander to the tastesof a certain class f readers. During thewhole of that exerting period Rothschildnever left the city of London. Hisagents and the pigeons supplied himwith full information. Certain it is thatwhen, on tbe morning of the 20th ofNovember, 1815, all the bankers andbrokers on the London Stock. Exchangethought that Naooleon had again tri¬umphed, and stocks tumbled accord¬ingly, Rothschild alone, who knew thetruth, bought through his secret agentsr.U the consols, bills, and notes he couldobtain. On the afternoon of tbe 21st,two days, after the battle, the news of-Wellington's victory reached London.The public joy was intense. The Ex¬change was buoyant. Everything wentup that had before gone down. Butamong tbe millions of British subjectsthat rejoiced that day, there was per¬haps no one that could more thoroughly,appreciate the victory than Rothschild,for while he, too, rejoiced in his coun¬

try's honor, he ha 1 the additional pleas¬ure of knowing that bis own treasuryhad been increased by over $1,000,000.

It must not le supposed, however,that he was invariably successful. Oc¬casionally he was exposed to many se¬

vere reverses. By the French revolu¬tion in 1848, and he depreciation in thefunds which followed tbe several dis¬turbances in the European cities, it hasbeen estimated that tbe losses of theRothschilds reached tbe enormous figureof $40,000,000. Altbongh this tookplace after Nathan Meyer's death, it isincluded among the losses which havebeen enumerated as tending to show thatin the vicissitude.' of business even sucha firm as that of Rothschild sometimesencounters severe reverses. Fortunate¬ly, the resources of the house were atall times equal to tbe emergency.The great success which generally at¬

tended all the lo m contracts iu whichtbe Baron was interested made it a mat¬ter of rivalry with all the States whichwanted money to obtain his co-opera¬tion. He would never make any suchcontracts with Spain or tbe AmericanRepublics which were formerly her colo¬nies. Whether this disinclination arose

from prudential motives or because hedid not desire to assist a race which hadso persecuted his own, it would be diffi¬cult .o say. But not only in loan con¬tract) were bis operations considerable,but also in bullion and foreign ex¬

changes. In his commercial dealings beis said to have been very liberal, andmany merchants whose bills were de¬clined elsewhere found ready assistancefrom him. As illustrative of his im¬mense power, as also of his disposition,tbe .following authentic anecdote will besufficient: The London firm, requiringa loan for a short time, made applica¬tion to the Bank of England, offering se¬

curity therefor. The Governor declin¬ed, much to the surprise of NathanMeyer, who at once summoned hisbankers for a conference. The Londonfirm change monthly their bank accountfrom one to another of the banks whichthey select to receive their deposits ¦

and cash their checks. At that time theamount of gold in the Bank of Englandwas at the lowest point, and had a run

been commenced i t must have led to thesuspension of the bank. Rothschild,well knowing this, fact, gathered up allhis balances from his several bankers,and, returning to the Bank of England,demarded specie for three times theamount held by that institution. TheGovernor, amazed at the position inwhich the bank was placed, hastily sum¬

moned the Directors, who at once re¬solved to convey to Rothschild tbe ex¬

pression of their deep regret at the oc¬

currence and their hope that be wouldwithdraw his demand for tbe specie.This he immediately did, because sel¬fishness or vindictiveness was no partof his character. Some years after,when the charter of the Bank of Eng¬land required renewal, Rothschild ex¬

pressed to the committee of the Houseof Commons his firm belief that theGovernment funds should never be com¬

mitted to the custody of a private cor¬

poration without positive safeguard,since he could have bankrupted theBank of England had he so desired.Like all the members of his family,

Baron Rothschild was charitable andbenevolent in the extreme. He was, intbe true sense of the word, a humanita¬rian and philanthropist. During his lifethousands of pounds were expended an¬

nually by him in the relief of the poorand distressed, irrespective of creed or

nationality. To bis own community hewas munificent in his donations, and as

regards the manner in which much ofhis liberality was bestowed the follow¬ing incident will be read with interest:For several years a carter would deliversemi-annually at the Jewish OrphanAsylum cases of clot'oing for the chil¬dren. No one knew tbe source whencethe gift came. Tbe Baron died at Frank¬fort about the period when the Fall sup¬ply should arrive. On that occasion no

clothing arrived at the Asylum. A monthafter the burial of the good man, whenthe family had returned to London, tbecases of clothing were received, andthen for the first time it was discovered

scale prior to his time. He

who bad been the donor. But the Bar¬on in this respect was but a type of theentire family. The good done by theRothschilds cannot be overestimated.Both the males and the females of thefamily are princely in their generosity.They contribute to every charitable un¬

dertaking. Some institutions are almostentirely supported by their munificence.They have endowed schools, built bospi-tals, established alms houses, foundedsoup kitchens, and, in short, have doneeverything which the ingenuity of mancan invent for the amelioration of thewoes of their fellow-creatures. Theyare all firmly attached to the Jewishreligion, but they are liberal in theirviews, and never permit their Jewishproclivities or prejudices to interfere withtheir pleasant association with thosewho differ from them in religious belief.At one time it was the stated policy ofthe Rothscl to inter-marry amongthemselves, tn j'ouuger branches gene¬rally marrying "their cousins. Lately,however, this custom has been infringed,for some have even married out of thefaith. It 1s said that Nathan Meyerconceived the idea of perpetuating thename and power of the bouse by thesefamily marriages; and having in 1836called a meeting of the various membersof the house at Frankfort to considerthe question, it was generally favored,and as an introduction to the policyNathan's eldest son, the present BaronLionel de Rothschild, was united to hiscousin Charlotte, the eldest daughter ofCharles Rothschild. It was while onthis mission, and shortly after the nup¬tials, that the Baron became seriouslyill, and died at the age of 60. His bodywas taken to England and interred inthe cemetery belonging to the GreatSynagogue of London. The remainswere removed in a hearse drawn by sixhorses, and were followed to their lastresting place by a cortege of mourningcoaches and carriages, among the latterbeing those of the several EuropeanAmbassadors and the chief nobility ofEngland.

Lionel de Rothschild has, since hisfather's death, been at the head of theLondon house.

Mis? Kellosg's Mistake.

During the last visit of Miss ClaraLouise Kellogg to the Hub, she was sud¬denly called down into Maine to sing ata college commencement or some similarjubilee. The town in which the festivaloccurred was Orono, and singularlyenough it was the first time it bad everbeen favored by the presence of the faircantatrice. Naturally enough, the in¬habitants were somewhat excited overthe advent of the illustrious stranger,and the tallest kind of preparationswere made for her entertainment at theprincipal hotel. The first objectionwhich Louise cherie made to the accom¬modations of the hostelry was thequality of the water. The delicate littledarling turned up her nose and assev¬erated with more than ordinary vehe¬mence that unless something better was

provided she would be obliged to cut theengagement and the village simultan¬eously.In this Spartan-like -resolution Clara

was warmly supported by Mama Kel¬logg, who. declared that one uote of herdaughter's voice was worth more thanthe whole State of Maine.The landlord was in a dreadful

dilemma, but fortunately bethought himof Mr. Abraham Coburn, a wealthy citi¬zen of tbe town, who had on his estate a

springy of Marvelous purity. To MrCoburn he went and stated the case, andthat gentleman gladly consented tofurnish tbe donna with tbe famouswater, and to give the courtsey an

especial emphasis, proposed to bring itwith his own hands. The offer was

gladly accepted, and several times a daydid Mr. Coburn fetch the sparklingbeverage to the divine Clara, who de¬clared it to be absolute liquid perfection,and seriously entertained thoughts ofhaving it bottled and sent with her overthe country.The funny part of the story is to come.

Mr. Coburn, although, as we previouslystated, one of the wealthiest citizens ofthe place, was decidedly careless abouthis personal attire. In short, not to puttoo fine a point upon it, he usuallylooked pretty rough. This fact, in con¬

nection with his exceedingly respectfuldemeanor and tbe familiar way in whichevery one called him Abe, totally de¬ceived the celestial Louise as to the gen¬tleman's social status. So, on the lastday of her stay, as she was packing upto leave she called the landlord, aud ex¬

pressing her gratitude for the trust¬worthy attendance be had provided, shegave him a half dollar which she beggedof him to give to Abe, as he, she said,was the best man that had waited upouher. Tbe landlord managed to keep hisface till he got out of the room and thenexploded. He, however, concluded thatit would be better to keep the joke untilthe diva left town, and then give thehalf dollar to Abe in the presence of hiscrowd. With this idea iu his mind, tbelandlord sauntered down to the depot tosee the nightingale safely off. A goodmany of his fellow-townsmen were thereon the same errand, and in the midst ofa group of village magnates was Mr.Coburn. Miss Kellogg aud her motherwere safely seated in the drawing room

car, tbe whistle bad sounded, and tbeengine was just getting ready to move,when suddenly the quick eye of ClaraLouise discerned Mr. Coburn in themidst of bis friends. Not a momentwan to be lost, as the train was alreadymoving. "Abe I" and Mr. Coburn came

blushingly forward. "Abe, my man,"she continued, "I'm sorry you diden'tcome up to say good-bye, but I left a halfdollar with tbe landlord for you forbringing me the water." Tbe traiumoved out, and tbe shout of laughterthat went up from the friends of tbeluckless "Abe" verily shook tbe depot.And the funniest thiug is that until

Clara Louise reads this article she willnever know what those people were

laughing at..Boston l\mes.

Budding Roses..This is a simpleprocess by which amateur cultivatorsoften increase their stock. A sharp pen¬knife can do duty for a budding knife,and the handle of a toothbrush, if grounddown smooth, will answer for a spud toaid in lifting the bark. From the last ofJune to tbe last of August is the best timefor this process, as the bark can then bemore easily raised from tbe wood. Takea smooth stalk and make a horizontal cutacross the bark, through to the wood,but not into it. From tbe centre of thiscross-cut make another cut straight downthe stem, an inch or moro in length.These two cuts resemble a T. Slice offthe bud you wish to propagate with one

cut of the penknife, cutting it close tothe main stalk. Now, with the edge ofthe spud turn back the bark on each sideof the straight cut and insert the bud on

the wood of the branch to be budded,fitting it tightly to the crossed cut.With a bit of soft yarn bind down thebark, leaving the point of the bud ex¬

posed. A handful of dampened moss

must then be bound round the stem, tak¬ing care to leave the tiny point of thebud exposed to the air. In six weeksthe wrappings can be removed, but allother shoots must be kept from growingon the budded branch. By this means a

rose bush can be made to bear half adozen different colored roses..Fruit Re¬corder.
