Daily Life of the Richest Man in thc
World.
From the Boston Fost.

ASOStS'S - SSts
AS every one is interested to know how
so rich Il man as Baron ROthSchild
lived, correspondents are particular as
to every movement of his daily life. 1t
is related that he rose every morning
mt 6 O'Clock. His body servant shaved
and dressed him. Meantime, NJ. Bou-
deyille Ia teacher of elocution. who fits
people for the stage read the newsPa-
pers to him and told him the gossip OF
The green rooms of the Paris theatres.
He was dressed for the day atthis ear
ly hour, putting on even a white cravat.
He next received a PrussiRn named
Bernardo, With whom he examined the
uuotatioLs from the great exchanges OF
Europe, and decided upon and gave
orders for the transactions of the day.
He next received correspondence
clerks, took from them the more impor-
tant letters, which required reply
from the Baron. and approved or modi-
fed the proposed replies to other letters.
Then the almOner came in and reported
on the poor relieved, and received new
instructions. After the almoner re-
tired the Baron received his eX-
perts, men who kept him informed OF
all art aAd book sales; they
made reports or received instructions.
He then went to breakfast. All the
family met at breakfast, and usually
0ne or two of his married children
we're present. After break fast the Baron
went to his office (Which was immedi'
ateIv ON the street and separated from
his house by the courtyard; a covered
way reached from one to the other). to
receive people. AT . o'clock he would
sometimes go to the Bourse, or oItener
| to the auction mart, for he was fond OF
buving objects of curiosity and pic
lures. He would return to his office
and at 4 O'Clock drive down to Chateau
de Surense or Bots de Boulogue, re-
turning Mt 5 o'clock to his club, where
he would play whist Mt ten sous point
until dinner time. During the last pari
of his life he became eccentric in Il
good many small matters. He carried
n portemonnaie which was closed by 4
lock, although he never carried more
than fifty francs about him 'if mar
carries moro he is sometimes led to Elk
travagant expenses" he used to say
and often nothing at all. lie carried
The key of this lock on his watch chain
The mem bers of the club in the Rue
Royale used to laugh to see the BaroI
| fumblIng for his key, and even his loci
| This sight was Iatteriy fmpaired), Rnt
when, at last, he managed to open thu
| portemonnaie, to find it empty. Ate
| dinner he received company at home
or went to some theatre.

COMMON SCHOOLS.
From the Charleston Courier.

What is usually known, or we
should say spoken of, as the Prussian
system of common schools, is more
correctly deuominated German; for
it is the outgrowth of German civil
ization. As most Of our people hear
much Of German schools, and have a
general idea of their superiority over
others, without having any definite
knowledge on the subject, we have
thought it may not be Improbable to
give some Of their more characteristic
features especially at this time, when
our own schools, Of every grade, by
reason Of the long interruption Of the
war, have been brought back to the
formative stage, and are awaiting a
plastic, master hand to give them be-
ing, character, and individuality. Mr..
j. Ross Browns book, can American
Family in Germany" recently pub
lished, will assist our memory in the
execution Of this task.
The schools in Germany are con.
Quoted with great care, and uuder
strict municipal regulations. The
teachers are generally persons Of SUI
perior ability and thorough education.
This will be readily credited, when
we consider that, owing to the excess
of population, it is generally as diff
cult there for a teacher to gain a posi-
ton of honor and emolument in his
profession as it is here for lawyer to
gain fame Or fortune at the bar.
Teaching is not "taken up" by any
and every one; it is a profession, the
avenues to which are as carefully
guarded by government as those to
the army or civil service.
A great feature in these schools is
the amount of oral exercises through
which the children are required to
pass. No more learning by rote is
permitted. Every branch must be
thoroughly understood and however
little a pupil may acquire, be must
comprehend it as far as be goes Su
pericial show is altogether disre-
garded. Until boy is duly quail
fed 10 a primary class he cannot en-
ter a higher one. Great attention is
bestowed upon those studies most
likely to be of use in future life, as,
for example, the modern languages,
mathematics, civil engineering, geog-
rsphy, drawing, book keeping, ma
tural philosophy, geology, etc. Due
regard is also paid to the health of
the pupil. He is required to exercise
at frequent intervals, to battle, sing,
walk, and hold himself in an erect
position. The schools hours in sum
mer are from Z A. NJ. until I P. M,
with an intermission Of two hours for
dinner !; in winter from 8 to I. This,
however, varies in different parts Of
the country. All the studying is
done in school. In this way there is
Baton Rouge tri-weekly gazette & comet. [volume] (Baton Rouge, La.) 1865-18??, 1868-04-07

but little opportunity for street loung-
ing and rowdyism. At school, all are
considered boys, big and little, and
all are so treated. Precocious young
gentlemen Of sixteen are regarded
with especial disfavor. Neatness and
cleanliness of person are imperatively
required.
The relations between teachers and
their pupils are Of the most kindly
and afectlonate character. The same
iuterchanges Of friendly souvenirs
which so frequently take place in fam.
lilies, is also prevailing custom in
this connection. Birthday and Christ
mas presents are made to the teach
ers, and on those occasions the whole
school untes in doing them honor.
Afectionate addresses are delivered
on both sides, and there is always
very happy scene Of rejoicing. Every
child brings something, Of course &C.
cording to his means. Many bring
flowers or ornamental plants, purses,
watch guards, ETC., etc. So on New
Year and on his Birthday, the teacher
receives congratulatory, epistles from
nearly all his pupils; and vein Of
refined sentiment pervades the every
day life of these poor, humble and OBJ
scure villagers, which our more prac-
tical but very uupoe'ic countrymen
find it difficult to credit
During the summer holidays, Pc
destrian tours are made through va
rious parts Of the country, having in
view health, recreation, and instruction.
Sometimes these tours are extended
to the mountains of Switzerland and
Bavaria. The classes are accompa-
MED by their teachers, who omit no
opportunity Of instilling into their
minds practical knowledge of geol.
ogy, botany, entomology, and such
other studies as come within the
sphere of their rambles. Each boy
carries with him a tin case, in which
to preserve the specimens, picked up
by the wayslde. As they wander
along through the beautiful and pic
turesque parts Of the country, they
sing glees and choruses. make sketches
of the old castles, or battle in the
mountain streams. They are the hap.
piest set Of beings in existence.
Knowing no troubles, OVERLOOKING
with health, and in the full enjoy.
ment of liberty, they present picture
Of pure and perfect happiness, if such
a thing can exist upon earth.
Will any one pretend to say that
such life as this, innocent and re.
tiuing in all its tendencies, is not in-
6nitely better than the holiday life Of
our American children ? Here there
is no dissipation, no encouragement to
evil or proaigate habits, no morbid
and unwholesome excitements. A
love of nature in its most attractive
aspects is encouraged. Not stick,
or stone, or flower, on the way-side,
but has its meaning. The beautiful
legends Of the country are the sub
jects of song and story. Health earned
by exercise brings with it an increased
for study. The mind and
body are refreshed, and when the
holidays are over, the teachers and
pupils return to their duties with clear
heads and strong nerves. In this way
the Germans acquire those robust con-
which are the admiration of
the world and among our Teutonic
citizens we find the best civil engin-
GERS, draughtsmen, chemists, botanists,
and geologists to develope the re-
of our country. |

the aggregate Of those who paironized

compared with the preceding month,
shows a marked falling of in the bust
ness OF the company. This may be
easily accounted for, however, in the fact
that the operations Of the roads have
been greatly interfered with by the Mic

the suspension Of operations altogether.
The difficulty between the company and
the city, with regard to the laying by the

ERRORS LEDGER: On the arrival of
the steamer Marble City, Thursday
morning, an old lady from Hailes Point,
en- route to Sterling, Ark, being unused
to the ways of the world and the Memphis
thieves, employed what is generally
known as scalping wagon No. 1855,
driven by notorious character-well
known in police circles as an extortioner
Ito convey her baggage to the steamer
W. A. Caldwell, which he agreed to do
for the moderate and lawful charge of fifty
cents but, on his arrival at the boat with
the baggage, distance of one hundred
yards, he very impudently informed
her that she must pay him the modest
sum of four dollars, which | would not
allow her to do, but advised her to COM
promise by paying one dollar, notwith-
standing the fact that a positive agree
ment had been made for the load to be
carried for fifty cents, which he refused
to accept. / then caused his arrest, but
the policem man (No. IL who took him in
charge, pretended not to understand the
law in such cases, and graciously
allowed him to depart with portion of
her baggage in his possession as security.
A subsequent arrest, however, brought
the parties before his august majestyand
| the great exponent of Jurisprudence,
Esquire Richards, who fully sustained
this outrageous act of extortion and high
way robbery, and forced this poor woman
to pay this scoundrel and vagabond the
full amount claimed.
Such acts deserve the censure of the
people; and if the honorable Mayor and
Aldermen will do something to protect
the innocent, and put check to deci-
sions that only give license to the hordes
of scoundrels who infest our levee for the
purpose of preying on the unwary, they
will certainly confer favor, not only
on the travelling public, but the COM
munity at large.
