A ROTIISCHILD IN WANT OF Six SOCS.—The Chari-
rani gives a pleasant anecdote of M. de Rothschild, which
it affirms is founded on fact. The day was very wet. A
thick fog, dark as a prologue, overspread the streets and
overshadowed a splendid house at the corner of the Rue
Laffitte. Then a cloud burst, and down came torrents of
rain. At this moment a gentleman emerged from the
pavement—he was as wet as Dutch soup. He looked for
a hackney-coach, and saw nothing but gutters. The gate-
ways were crowded with persons seeking shelter. The
gentleman hesitated an instant—saw an omnibus, dashed
into it like lightning, and took his seat, bathed like a Tri-
ton. He looked less like a man than a duck. The vehi-
cle pursued its course, and the gentleman, wrapped in a
tweed and a pelisse. seemed to try to dry himself. At
length, however, the shower stopped, and the omnibus
reached the Rue Richelieu opposite the Exchange. The
gentleman made a sign to the conductor, rose from his
seat. and got out, and was passing away, " And my six
sous ?" said the conductor. " Your six sous," reilied
the gentleman with a German accent, " I forgot." The
gentlemen thrust his hands into his pockets, tried what
was there, and found nothing. " Come, come," said the
conductor, getting impatient, " look sharp." " Parblue,'
said the gentleman, " I have got no change." " You ate
a farceur," said the conductor. " Insolent fellow," re-
joined the gentleman, " I am Monsieur de Rothschild."
" Never heard of you," said the man ; " Give me my six
sous." At the name of the illustrious banker the passen-
gers all turned round, whispered, and laughed. "Go to
the d—l," said the banker; "I have important business
at the Exchange, and must go. There is my card." Give
me my six sous," groaned the conductor. M. de Roths-
child became exasperated. The conductor persisted, and
there seemed to be every chance of M. de Rothschild
being taken into custody for six sous. " Fury !" said the
banker, " I shall miss a splendid coup. I have only a
order for a million. Give me my change." Saying th;s,
half laughing, half furious, the hanker drew from his
pocket-book a coupon for 50,000 f. of rentes of five per
cent., and presented it to the conductor. The conductor
stared, and at this moment an agent de change came by.
" Oh, 107 frieod," said Rwhschild, how lucky. lam a
prisoner f, r debt. Lend me six sous." The agent turned
round. and threw a M. piece to the conductor. " The
d---!," said the man. '"This must be some one :" and
then, as if struck with re arse, he turned to M. Roths-
child, atid said, " If you want ►en francs, Sir, I ch„Nn't
tnjAf iendiPi them to you,"
