THE JEWISH BANKERS IN EURoPE.-The
well known Paris correspondent of the New
York Journal of Commerce, Mr.. Walsh, in his
last letter, says: Last Saturday fell into con-
versation with very intelligent gentleman of
the commercial and banking sphere, who men
toned to me his knowledge, derived from the
latest annual report Of the general supervisor
of the books of the several firms of de Roths-
child, of the aggregate amount of their capital
or the sum at their instantaneous commando
milliard of francs-two hundred million of
dollars he believed it to be, moreover, an I'M
exaggerated estimate that the similar capital of
the two PereTeS is at least hundred million of
francs Of the Hottinguers, seventy five mil
lion of francs; of Mires and the Foulds, still
higher; the Duke of Galiera, at the head of
the Credit Mobilier, is held to be prodigiously
opulent. The PereireS have created for them
selves a new fortune by the purchase of very
extensive grounds within and without the walls
of the capital, which they turn into streets and
boulevards with the certainty of the earliest
and amplest proceeds"

TO ADVERTIsERs,
THE HIDDEN HAND

1t is not necessary to look to the outside Of
all the papers printed this week, for the story
of "The Hidden Hand" 1t was familiar to a
larger multitude than win read the New York
Ledger this week, before Hurricane Hall was
built, or Granny Grewell was born.
There are two classes of people who always
keep one of their hands wrapped up in black
Grape, plotting something. They are entirely
opposed in their Characteristic Uriah Keeps
and the Tim Linkinwaters of society. The
two qualities which distinguish them are n.y.
pocrisy and charity. They only agree in new
er suffering their left hand to know what their
right hand doeth.
You will find both classes wherever you will
find humanity. 1t is not hattering to think
there are so many hypocrites. 1t is not a
pleasant notion to think that in every commu-
nifty there are Pariahs hiding the hands which
they are waiting to use against their fellows.
Such is the fact, to an extent greater than we
are always willing to confess For they
Smile us out of our wits, till they are ready
to strike the blow. What Macaulay says of
that consummate master Of assimilation, the
Earl of Sunderland, will apply in fact to host
of humber hypocrites than he was. When
Popery was in the ascendant he crossed him.
self, shrived himself, did penance, took the
communion, and as soon as the turn of fortune
came, apostatized back again, and proclaimed
to all the world, that, when he knelt at the
confessional and received the host, he was
merely laughing at the king and the priests.
Among those who would blush to confess
themselves hypocrites; who never embark ex-
cept upon Summers sea who are Jealous in
safety, but as treacherous as rats at the ap-
proach of danger, one hand is always kept
snugly hidden where the world cannot see it,
and where friends cannot detect the mischief it
may be plotting for that hour of peril when
professions of sincerity are accustomed to be
tested, and friendships are put to the fiery tri.
al. 1t is then the hidden hand falls heaviest,
and where it was least expected. Who that
has endured misfortune, who that has jndulged
large hopes, and won troops of Summer
friends by the prospects of successful fortune,
has not felt it when its weight was too griev-
Gus to be borne?
of all hypocrisy, that which partakes of in
gratitude is the worst. Intelligent calculating
treachery hasn't many redeeming qualities, to
be sure. Your innocent, habitual hypocrite
who makes up faces to suit circumstances /;
your harmless knave, with a saints face for
emergencies, is simply contemplate. But
when the hand which has received generous
consideration, indignantly throws aside the sa-
cred obligation which kindness always impos-
IS, and boldly encourages the torrent of con-
umely and scorn, which it should have oppos-
d and stemmed, it evidences degree of de-
ravity that ought to be objectionable. Dante |
