THE MONEY KING.

The season was September, l193. The
Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel saw the French
revolutionary bands approaching his domin-
ions, and waving at his very frontiers. Has
tily he packed up his jewels and valuables,
together with between two and three millions
of thalers, and took the way to the ancient
city of Frankfort, hoping to find means of
placing his wealth and jewels of his house
in security.
Arrived at the city which had, for ceutu-
ries sent forth the rulers of the "holy Ro-
man Empire, )" the fugitive Landgrave knock
ed at the door of an humble Jewish banker,
Meyer Rothchild, richer in children than in
thalers, but withal distinguished and ex-
perienced archeologist and numismatologist.
The sovereign, who himself was an expert
in these sciences, paid much respect to the
knowledge of the Jew banker, and had ac-
tually, few years before, bestowed upon
him the distinction of the title of "Medai-
leur to his Court"
"Meyer," he began, as he handed hiswell
filled case, 81 know you to be honest and
conscientious Here is all I possess; take
it, and return it to me when this tempest
shall have blown over, and when better times
dawn upon u.s."
"Such vast confidence does me great hon.
Or" replied the Hebrew, "but your High
ness must not forget that the republican
n, h. lon
awe are in the hands of Providence" ;"
replied the Landgrave. ~ ask for no re-
ceipt."
The Prince re-entered his vehicle and
hurried off, without listening to the renewed
protestations of the man of business.
What Meyer Rothchild had anticipated,
duly came to pass. Before week was over,
Frankfort was in the possession of the French
troops, and the banker, who had been de-
nounced as an anti-revolutionist, and an ally
of the tyrants, found his domicil sacked, and
his cash-box plundered in the name Of lib
erty and the people.
No sooner, however, had the victors left
Frankfort, than Meyer Rothchild re-opened
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 1902 he was once more con-
sidered as one Of the most reliable baukersi in
Germany.
About this time there came short period
of rest for the crowned heads of Germany
The princes of the Rhenish Confederacy
rested under the high and forced protection
of Napoleon. Raised by the will of the
great commander to the dignity of an Elector
of the German Empire, the Landgravc OF
Hesse received permission to return to his
dominions On his way he passed Frank
fort. The journals had before informed
him of the plundering of Rothchild's house,
and he naturally believed his own wealth
long since prey to the Jacobins. Still he
determined to visit his numismastc friend,
if only to assure him of the continuance of
his confidence.
"Good morrow, Meyer" said the Elector,
with frank and hearty shake of hands
DAT last We have peace, old friend, but it
costs us dear enough. Before you stands a
ruined man, as poor as Job.
"What you poor, your Highness"
"Certainly, for have not those confounded
sans collotes stol, my wealth along with

CHLORIDE OF LIME FOR STEPPING SEED.
In Germany it is considered of great eff.
cacy. Beans stepped four hours in solu.
tion of quarter of an ounce of chloride in
gallon of water, wcreup and in rough leaf
before ether sown at the same time were a.
bove ground; and an equal difference was
observable with other vegetables. Those
who are ambitious for having the earliest
vegetables should give it trial.

The Southarn Mails

1t Is evident that it may be a considerable
time ere the communication between Wash
ington and the region of the South not buried
in snow can be re-established The following
from yesterdays Alexandris Gazette sheds
soma light on the distractions to that desira.
BILE end remaining, at last advices from the
interior, to be overcome:
ORANGE AND ALEXANDRIA RAILRoAD.-At
six O'Clock, on Wednesday afternoon, the train
on the Orange Alexandria Railroad which
left the depot, at this place, on Monday morn
ing had only been able to get within about a
mile Of Manassas Station, q distance of thirty
miles, on account Of the heavy snow drifts en-
countered in the cuts on the road. In some
instances these drifts were from ten to twelve
feet high, and the locomotives, in attempting
to 90 through them would be completely bu-
Iied, 80 that they would have to be dug out
by the hands, about one hundred and fifty of
whom have been kept constantly at work, with
picks and shOvels, removing the masses of
snow. Those who have witnessed the obstrue.
tlons and the exertiOns to overcome them say
that they exceed anything Of the kind they
ever witnessed. Where one of these snow en-
bankments occur, the locomotive is backed
to considerable distance, and then made to
rush with the velocity Of the wind directly
against it, causing " an eruption like that of a
Volcano" and covering the earth for some
distance around with quantities of snow, and
completely burying the engine, SO that con.
siderable time is required for its excavation
Thus, with the aid Of the locomotives, picks
aad shovels, the work progresses until the
snow is all excavated from the cut, and the
track opened tn another and perhaps a more
difficult drift than its predecessor
Could the track be once opened there would
be little difficulty in keeping it so-unless we
should be visited with a storm like to the one
of last Sunday. The General Superintendent,
Mr. Vandegrift, and his aids, have been most
energetic in their endesvors to open the road,
and under ordinary circumstances, their abors,
would have been crowned with success, long
before this. As We have stated, a number Of
hands and the locomotives are kept constantly
at work, and the road will be opened in day
or two more.
The exposure and the great fatigue nece ssary
to be undergone, render it particularly severe
on the hands employed, and several of them
have been much frost-bitten.
In consequence of the obstruction on the
Orange and Alexandria railroad, there has
besn no report from the Manassas Gap or Gen.
trail roads, nor is the condition of these roads
known, or can be, until the Orange train passes
the Junction.

These engines have been accurately tested and
have shown an economy Of twenty per cent In

saving is effected by letting the steam In md out

removing the pressure from the valve and allow

ducing the weight and friction to about half that
Of the ordinary engines We place the smaller
sizes upon an improved boiler with all the pi pes

wheels convenient TO ship to any part Of the
country, and to avoid the necessity OF an ex perl
enced eng ineer TO start them, they are all tested
before leaving the factory.
