How the Richest Man In the World Lived.

AS every one is interested to know how
so rich man as Baron Rothschild lived,
correspondents are particular as to every
movement of his daily life. It is related
that he rose every morning at six O'clock
His body servant shaved and dressed him.
Meanwhile, NJ Boudeville, Ga teacher of
elocution, who fits people for the stage,)
read the newspapers to him, and told him
gossip of the green-rooms of Paris theatres.
He was dressed for the day at this early
hour, putting on even white cravat. lie
next received Prussian named Bernard,
with whom he examined the quotations from
the great exchanges of Europe and decided
upon and gave orders for the transactions Of
the day He next received the correspon-
dence clerks, took from them the more i'm
portant letters which required a reply from
the Baron, and approved or modified the
proposed replies to other letters. Then the
almoner came in and reported on the poor
relieved, and received new instructions. He
then went to Nine. de Rothschild for her
instructions. After the almoner retired the
Baron received his experts, men who kept
him informed of all art and book sales they
made reports Or received instructions. He
then went to breakfast, All the family met
at breakfast, and usually one Or two of his
married children were present. After break
fast the Baron went to his Office (Which was
Immediately on the street, and separated
from his house by the court yard-a cover
ed way reached from one to the other) to
receive people. At two o'clock he would
sometimes 60 to the bourse, or oftener to the
auction mart, for he was fond of buying OBJ
jects of curiosity and pictures. He would
return to his Office, and at four o'clock drive
down to Chateau de Surense or Bots de
Boulogne, returning at five o'clock to his
club, where he would play whist at ten sous
point until dinner time. During the last
part of his life he became eccentric in good
many small matters. He carried portnon-
ale which was closed by lock, although he
never carried more than fifty francs about
him (if man carries more he is sometimes
led to extravagant expense, he used to say,)
and often nothing at all He carried the
key of this lock on his watch chain. The
members of the club in the Rue Royal used
to laugh to see the Baron fumblng for his
key, and even his lock (his sight was latter
II impaired, } and when, at last, he manag-
ed to open the portemonnaic, to find it empty
After dinner he received company at home,
Or went to some theatre.
