Rothschilds towards the government of Austria They
supplied the ReactiOnists and the Church party with
money, taking in exchange bonds some Of which
promised fifteen per cent interest for at that heavy
rate the Mexican government has lately been obliged to
promise to pay for the use of money borrowed. The
house OF decker 81 Co., has failed with liabilities amount
ing to nearly five millions. The failure has brought
distress upon an immense number of Mexicans who de-
posted their little savings with this house. The failure
was caused by "a rum which was commenced by the
Liberals who have naturally looked with jealousy upon
the house that furnished the sinews of TO their enc

commenced is said to have been about eight millions
Two or three millions drawn out before the doors

who lives on the line of the Cleveland and Pttsburg

from between the cross ties when he heard locomotive

the bull to clear the track which the bull made al effort
to d. but being closely crowded by the iron horse and
not being disposed to show the white feather even to

says
This vegetable was viewed by the people with ex-

ents were adopted to induce them to it, but without
success In vain did Louis XVI wear its flower in his
buttonhoe and in vain were samples of the tubercle
distributed among the farmers they gave them to their
pigs but would not use it themselves At last Parman
tier the chemist who we'll knew the nutrve properties
of the potato and was most anxious to see it in general
use, hit upon the following ingenious plan DE planted
good breadth of potatoes at Sablons close to Paris,
and paid great attention to their cultivation hen
the roots were nearly ripe he put notices around the field
that all persons who stole any of the potatoes would be
prosecuted with the utmost rgor of the laws and gen.
darmes were employed to watch the field day and night
and arrest all trespasses No the roots
