A
..OTEISCHILD IN WANT OF Six SOUS.—The Chart-
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 ventleman 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-
ten. lie 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 inpatient, "look sharp." " Parblue,'
said the gentleman, I have got no change." " You are
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 this,
half laughing, half furious. the banker drew from his
pocket-book a coupon for 50.000 f. of rentes of five per
cent., end presented it to the conductor. The conductor
stored, and at this moment an agent de change came by.
" Oh, my friend." sad Rothschild, ' how lucky. lam a
prisoner f, r debt. Lend me six sous." The agent turned
round. and threw a sf. piece to the conductor. " The
d-1," said the man. " This must be some one :" and
then, as if struck with remorse, he turned to M. Roths-
child, and said, " If you want ten francs, Sir, I don't
mind lending them to you."
