Napoleon and the Rothsch,lds.

A great many anecdotes have been told
illustrating the great comprehensive powers
of the Rothschilds but we recollect no in
stance more strikinsly illustrative OF such
powers than that related Of them in con.
ncction with the escape of Napoleon from
Elba, and his march ON Paris. The story is
exccllcntly well told in Sharpe's Magazine
for September, 1916. Not having the book
before us,woshall attempt only the substance
as 1t comes to us in memory.
1t was about 0 o'clock in the evening Of
March, number of clerks were busily
employed in the rooms OF celebrated bank
Ing house in Paris, preparing letters to be
forwarded to different parts OF Europe by the
morning post. Suddenly the head OF the
house breaks in upon the scene and disturbs
the monotony of the hour, his swathy yisagc
more swathy by some apparent disturbing
cause. The clerk looks up surprised and
astouished. (rhc house is that of Roths-
childs-the person, the resident French
partner.) He abruptly addresses them by
stating the startling news just received in
Paris, That Napoleon had left Elba and was
on his way to Paris; that the Bourbon
monarch was packing his crown jewels and
the yaluables preparatory to us hasty de-
parture as his immense fat would allow, and
ended by exclaimins-"the house of Roths-
child is ruined We have five millions in
gold in vaults. Napoleon will require this
as forced loan. Oh that my brother in
London was here. He is the genius Of our
House. He alone can save u.s." In such a
strain he continued alternately to address
his clerks and soliloquizc. Presently a
modest under-clerk by the name of Wolver-
denden, German, yentured to ask, "Why
cannot your brother be- communicated with
before the arrival Of Napoleon, before the
news in regular course crosses the channel ?"
"Impossiblc, shouted the excited Israelite,
the gates are closed. No one will be allowed
to leave but courier from the English En-.
baSy; and il he gets the news into London
before my brother hear oft, the house of
Rothschild is ruined"
The clerk, emboldened by his success,
venturcd to inquire "What time does the
courier leave?" "At ten o'clock precisely,
and it is now only fifteen minutes to that
hour "oh," said he, agonisingly, elf |
could only get u message ahead, but il is i'm
possible" The clerk asked If the courier's
name was not Schmidt. "Yes, the same, :"
replied Rothsehild. "why do you ask 2"
"Trust me. I will 60 and get to London
ahead Of him, or lose my life."
Turning to the head clerk, r. asked,
"whoi is this young man7 Can he be trusted?''
"Yes,"w Was the response, "true rs steel" I"
al will run the risk-what do you want,
young man!" "Plenty of gold, letter to
your brother, and token Of recognition" /"
Here is ruby ring, valuedsat sixty thousand
francs. My brother will recognize it. But
stop take this" and he scrawled upon n
slip Of paper few Hebrew characters, the
Interpretation Of which was-"Trust this

Timely Words.

President Stearns of Amherst College, IN
his fast-day discourse upon the war, present
cd some views which cannot be too widely
read, or too deeply pondered
As another condition OF success, We must
be in earnest, and much more than we are.
Tho loyal States are not half awake. We
trust in our nnbounded resources. but fail to
employ them. We have great war on our
hands, but we think that there will bc sol.
dicrs enough to fight it through, and some
time or other our side will win. Meanwhile
we talk hopefully OF the revival of business,
and prepare ourselves to renew the old COM
petitions of coyetousness. What many thus
look upon as encouragement, to my mind Is
portentous. While the nation lies bleeding,
We turn supincly away, and seek again the
loayes and the fishes. Many of us seem to
regard the whole conflict as something out.
side, which does not touch us in person, much
less reach down into the depths OF our souls.
Meanwhile, time is passing on, and you make
progress, in many respects, only backwards.
Months have gone and still tho capitol OF
your nation is in danger. You have had
your great uprisings and rushings to the
scene of conflict, and still, in almost every
emergency, your army is outnumbered by the
enemy. While the north is foolishly conf
dent and inefficient, the south is terribly in
earnest. With them it is u life or death
struggle. They leave oil business, sacrifice or
jeopardire all property, offer up their lives,
stir the blood of all their people-and, when
they fight, they fight with the courage OF
despair. They are also INSCRIPTIONS, and
full Of stn,tagems, and ready for desperate
deeds. Such rebellion, covering US It does
nearly half our territory, cannot be put down
by country musters-or the froth an foam Of
a galaday patriotism. You have great and
terrible work to do, and you must undertake
it with terrible determination. You must
comprehend the crisis and meet it-oicrius
your treasure, Offering your blood, and what
is more precious the blood Of your sons you
must take hold of this work with an awful
solcmnity. and perform it. There must be
no halfway measures. The heaviest blows
are now the most merciiul blows. II you
would not protrac. this war for years, sacri-
fee thousands of lives and desolate the whole
land, you Of the north should put forth the
whole ofyour strength. Presume not On the
irosts of winter, on the stringency OF your
blockade. on the great doings which are
to come. So you have talked from the be-
ginning, but your condolences have failed you.
Scott may be capable Of infallible strategies
banks may have comprehensive abilities.
and Butler dashing bravery and you may
admire the Christian wisdom and heroism Of
Mcclellan, but tho great soul Of the Tree
north must be stirred down to in depths or
all these will fail.
