THE ROTHSCHILD FAMILY.
DEATH OF THE BARON sALoMON.

DEATH OF InE DAhON OALOmONs
There is a golden romance clustering around this
family which makes the death Of one of its prominent
members a matter Of historic nOtDriety.
The Baron Salomon, whose funeral took place re-
Gently at Paris with somewhat of public soemnity,
vas the fourth Of the founder of his house, and
was at his death aged 30. Ansem, the first son. who
was nt the head of the Frankfort House, has some
line since paseed away. Nathan, the second, who
reened over the great London house, is also gone;
and of the sscend generation Of these moneyed
Mobicans tbere are now left bat james, also of Paris,
and Charles of Nspes. Not much in the loss
of their persons however Of their powers have the
RothschiId family received blow III the death
of two of its members-the only able one surviving
being james who, both in monetary genius, eleya-
zon Of character end range of mind, the star Of
the house II Roihschid. Anselm was great by his
sagacity Nathan by his industry; james Is by his
genius Anseln sDgul-rly combined the instincts OF
a low cloth jew, with the penetrating vision of the
statesman Nathan united all the steadiness of
merchant with the Graf, of a smugger. He II vas,
who. While established at Manchester, amassed an
enormous fortune by smuggled trade during Napoeons
blockade Of the Continent He knew the result OF the
battle Of Waterloo eight hours before II reached the
British Government, and We should fear to surmise
what each minute in each of those hours was in his
hands worth But James has, in addition TO the sa-
vacty of the one and industry and craft of the other
that which they did not ssess-grcat genius most
courtly bearing and polished cultivation OF mind,
which make his relations with the Royal Houses OF
Europe wear more the character of dipomatist,
while those Of his brothers Anselm and Nathan never
rose above the Jew.
The sumpiuous palace in which Salomon died was Of
course known 70 all Americans who have ever visited
Paris; to many, perhaps, also known the humble
house on The Ghetto Of Frankfort in which he was
born Bat q few years az aud The Windows OF this
