A RoTHscHHD's WEALTH-The wealth
left by the late Baron de Rothschild is
something fabulous. 1t overpowers
the imagination. No sultan, or caliph,
or emperor, real or tabled, approached
him in the extent Of his opulence. The
wealth of Ormus or Of Ind pales be-
fore it. The late Baron made the fol-
lowing disposition of his property: He
left to his wife, Betty, $4,000, 900, the
chateau Ferriere, whose art galleries
are estimated at above 81 900 900. and
his house in the Rue Laftte, at Paris ::
TO his second son, Gustavus, he gave
$40, 900, 900; to his third son, Edmund.
s3O,OO0,OOO: and to his grandson, son
of the late Solomon Rothschild, $lO.-
100000. This is pretty we'll in itself,
but it does not exhaust the vast heaps
left by the modern Croesus. The larg-
est plumb has fallen to the lot of his
eldest son, Alphonsus, who comes in for
a trife Of $1OO,OO0,000. This colossal
fortune-and perhaps these legacies do
not exhaust the amount-reaches the
sum total of s224,OOO,OOO. 1t may
give some idea of what this means to
mention that it would nearly pay the
interest on the national debt for two
years. and is considerably more than
half the income of Great Britain. Yer
lily the deceased Baron must, like MI
das, have possessed the faculty OF CON
yerting everything he touched into gold.

CHURCH DlrFIcrLTY.-One Of the Dunk
ard Churches in Monroe, Penn, as We
learn from the Pearlsburg Gazette, has
recently gotten into a difficulty, and
doesn't know how TO get out. 1t seems
that they have admitted some negroes
into the church, but are unable to de-
termine whether they are entitled TO be
kissed, and have their feet washed by
the brethren, or Mott being the Gus
tom of the church for the members 10
kiss when they meet, and to wash each
others feet at their meetings. The ne
groes would show their good sense by
not insisting on any such claim. except
that they kiss among themselves, and
practice in like manner the customs of
the church.
