the borders OF his STATES, had sufficient cou-

up his diamonds, with two or three millions
Of thaiers, and took the road to Frankf 3rt,
where he thought he would be able to place
his fortune securely. Once arrived in the
old imperial city, he hurried to the dwelling
of petty Jewish banker, named Never

dollars, but was a skiful archaoogjst.
