The Money King.

A French writer thus speaks Of the Baron
James hschild:-Monsieur de Rothschid
is an indefatigabe worker. He rises early
and looks after his own affairs himself. He
receives visitors after he has prepared the
days work for his myrmidons. On certain
points he is unbending but he is good
man, though not easily moved lie has the
perspicuity of man who has made the lar
gest fortune in Europe. His views on finan
cial matters are always sound; he has ge-
MUS for foreseeing events His judgment Of
men is unerring, and consequently he knows
with whom and how to deal. Nothing turns
him aside from purpose he has once
formed; his views are always clear and for
cibly expressed. The hours devoted by him
to work are occupied until the last minute.
He then withdraws himself entirely from
business and resorts to the pleasures of life.
The house of Rothschild. consisting of the
Baron James, Charles. Lonal, and other
brothers and cousins, is undoubtedly the
most loyal and powerful of the reigning
European families. They have absorbed
most Of the gold and silver of the world,
and no nation in Europe can go to war with
out their sovereign permission. They loaned
the Emperor of Russia forty millions for the
Crmean war, they lent the British Govern
ment seventy five millions; Turkey, Austria,
Sardinia, Prussia and Egypt, have all looked
to their pockets for the sinews Of war. The
Emperor Of Austria, at last accounts, was
trying to obtain a fresh supply from the in
exhaustable fountain, and even the great
Napoleon is eager to propitiate the branch
of the house in his empire. 1t is said that
the great banker has been offered the SOW.
ereignty Of Jerusalem, but having all the
sceptres of Europe in his coat pocket, he
magniicently disdains the proposition. The
Philadelphia american has story, that the
Baron James was quietly leaning against a
column in the Exchange (which column,
from long occupation by him, is rerognized
as the Rothschld,) when a gentleman of mys
terious department approached him and in
timated that he came from the neighbor-
hood Of the Tuilleries, to confer with him
respecting the disposal of the Holy City.
The Baron is said to have replied in terms
by no means courteous; in fact, he consigned
the ambassador and his master to a place
not mentionabe in ears polite. 1t is sup
posed that he at once perceived scheme
to extract out OF his pocket the expenses Of
the Syrian expedition. on pretense Of res
toring the Jews. The Baron is not copyin.
cad that this is the get time for restoring
the Jews, nor has he seen any prophecy
which declares they shall be restored at his
| expense.

The Old Spinning Wheel.

In an unfurnishel garret, fesooned with
cobwebs, and f,l of old trunks, barres of
old books, and nntique articles of house
keeping, We saw recently, an old fashioned
spinning wheel. 1t was just such a wheel
as was familiar to the eye and ear of our
childhood. For twenty years we had not
seen its like. But the sight of it, slowed
away there, under the roof carried us back
swiftly over those twenty years into the very
atmosphere and sentiment of the old farm
house, where our earliest days were passed.
Again the sun shone in at the kitchen door
through the qniverng boughs Of the apple
tree. The hens cackled in the yard, the
brood Of chickens followed their clucking
mother with pleasant chirps, the cat slept or
purred on the door step. Once more the
yellow bird sang, and the swallows filtered
and twittered about the caves Or the red
streaked apples were ripe, and the sheav' 8
were in the barn, and the colts whinmed in
the lot while the horses worked in the har,
ness not lar off; for all this rose up before us
at the 81 ght of that old spinning wheel.
Again we were at play by the farm house
door; and we saw a mother or a sisters ac
tive form go to and fro, drawing out the
long, twisted thread, or rolling it up on the
spindle; and happy voice sang once more
to the hum of the wheel. Tho rolls of
white wool laid across-the reeling off of
the yarn from the full spindle, the swapping
at intervals when knot was to be tied our
childish wonder at the mysterious cause of
the snapping-how all this came again!
Such is the power of association. We do
in reality forget nothing; all we have ever
seen, or known, or felt, retires into deep re,
cesses of the mind, in obscurity and seeming
oblivion; but sight, sound, the scent Of
flower or clover head, or some little word
spoken, acts like magic call to the deeps
within us, and old scenes, old faces, voices
not heard for years, mnsic love, and laughter,
and sorrowful shapes, come trooping forth
again bringing the very sunshine and shad.
ows with them, and crowding the present,
until we doubt whether this ghostly and
dim company, or the cold. clear actualities
around US, are the most real parts of our
lives. Exchange.

Mt. Diahlo Coal Mines.

Some specimens Of coal from the mines
recently discovered near the base OF Mt. ID
ablo, were exhibited at the late Fair OF the
Mechanics Institute, San Francisco. The
Committee on premiums, who examined the
specimens presented, made the following re-
port of their cations:
The West Haven Coal Mines, the Israel
mines Richard B Moves and James I Wat
kins, Jr., proprietors, exhibit specimens ia
ken from within thirty feet of the surface
groupings. The propretors of these mines,
in Contra Costa county, hope to be prepar'
ed on and after Nov. lst to contract for the
delivery of coal in this city at $8 per ton
The mines are situated between Mt Diablo
and the San Joaquin river, about four miles
from the latter. A tunnel has been run IN
for one hundred feet-twelve feet wide, six
feet high, and double railroad track laid
No more coal will be taken out until they
get down 200 feet. Samples have been
brought to the city, and tried on board the
U. S. steamer Active, by the Chief Engineer
Major Davis, under the direction OF Capt
Alden with satisfactory results. In cooking

ing down to white ash, with some small
clinkers. 1t may be classed as a semi btu
mnous coal. The proprietors have another
mine of coal OF different character, which
they intend to open as soon as this is com
pleted.
The Cumberland Coal Mine, Contra
Costa county, also exhibits specimens. The
coal is bituminous. 1t is owned by Drs
Mccormick and Hitchcock Of this city, and
others of Contra Costa. The Cumberland
Coal Mine lies in the range of hills running
in northery direction from Monte Diablo;
it is about five miles from New York OF the
Pacifc-about thirty five miles distant by
water transportation from San Francisco
On the 18th of last August DR.. Mccormick
ordered 100 tons of this coal at SO per ton
with view to hasten the coal into market
and on the goth of September, inst, about
one half Of this amount was landed in this
city. 1t is pure bituminous coal; leaves
on burning, about seven per cent of ashes
of reddish color, and free of slate or scor.
tia Of any kind. The coal yields large
amount OF gas, is easily ignited, burns free
". produces heat sufficient for all purposes
has been used in a variety Of ways. in parlol
stoves, for cooking, and in steamboats, and
factories, and is admitted on all hands to be
a pure bitumnous coal. Mr.. Tonqun, who
came to this coast to take charge OF the
Beilingham Bay coal mines, states that it Il
a pure bituminious coal, and far superior te
any that has been found on the Pacific. He
says it is as pretty a vein as be ever saw

A citizen of Berlin, man in comfortable
circumstances, is periodically attacked with
desire to knock off hats. He afterwards
makes up the loss to the astonished victim
of this strange fancy by the payment OF
three thalers According to the calculation
of his family, in the past year he has been
obliged to make good the loss Of two hun
dred and sixty seven hats. At receut mu.
sical festival. fifty three hats we're sacrificed
to this curious frenzy, and for the evenings
entertainment he paid hundred and fifty

fo' feet and half in thickness of pure bit
luminous coal, free from any slate or any
impurity, lying imbedled betA cen two thick
strata of slate, and that any quantity can be
taken from the mine which is now we'll
opened and capable of yielding a supply for
the market, and increases from time to time
as the space for miners to work may be ex-
tended. The engineer of the Contra Costa
steamer has also said that it is the best coal
found native of the Pacific coast; and it
makes steam freely, is easily ignited, and
burns readily, and produces sufficient heat
without choking up the furnace, having
very small ash and no clinker or scoria. 1t
bids fair to prove benefit to the State as al
most any article exhibited along with it at
the late exhibition of the Mechanics Fair.
THE EsMERALDA MINING DIsTRIcT.-The
latest reports from the Esmeralda mining
district, lying, we believe, between Mono
and Carson Valley, are of highly encour-
aging character. There can be no question
that silver ore exists there in immense quan
titles, and is equally rich. A correspondent
of the MarysvilIe Appeal says:
"'The district including the richest quartz
is about two miles square, though not in
that form and is situated, it is said, in the
eastern edge of Calaveras county, Qhough
of that know nothing,) twenty five miles
from Monovils east and eighty or ninety
miles from Genoa in a southerly direction.
The wagon road from Carson Valley to
Monovile runs directly towards us, until
within twenty five miles Of this place where
good trail leads along Sweet Water Creek
to East Walker river, thence through an al
most level country to the diggings. Water
is abundant, and 'f excellent quality, with
any quantity of fire wood all round us, but
very little, if any for timber, nearer than
Mono that would do for building purposes

Nor IN THE BILLs,-.The amusing scene
that occurred at Portland, during the per-
formance cf the "Octoroon," which we pub
shed on Saturday, reminds us of an anec.
dote of the late great tragedian, Junius
Brutus Booth We believe it has never
been printed. Manchester, New Hampshire,
is celebrated for its button manufactures.
Immense quantities of buttons are annually
manufactured in Manchester. 1t is stated
that every man in Lynn. Massachusetts, is a
shoemaker, except the minister, and we be-
lieve he does his own mending. The peo
pie of Manchester have the same uncon-
trolable passion for the button business.
The late Mr.. Booth played his favorie char
acter of Richard III, in Manchester, several
years ago. The audience was not partic-
ularly intelligent one, for they suffered the
matchlcss Booth to reach the death scene in
the tragedy without once applaudng him. In
the death struggle with Richmond, Booth
desermined to fetch EN-" He prolonged
that scene to about half an hour, cutting and
sashing in a fearful manner This pleased
the Manchester audience and they fairly
screamed with delight At length Richard
fell, and just before giving his dying kick,
he raised himself upon his right arm, glar.
ed wildly at the audience, and cried: "What
do you think Of that. you id button ma
kers!" CleoveIand PlaindeoEer.
