TnE ORIGINAL RoTnscHILD.-Will-
lam *, the Landgrave of Hesse (as ell
ectdfhc subsequently adopted the title
of William y chose Rothschild as his
banker, and laid the basis of the latter 8
wealth. William was depositor worth
having, albeit his riches had not come to
him, or rather to his father, in the most
honorable way. 1t was hislfather, the Land
grave Frederic H., who furnished George
III. with seventeen thousand Hessians
to fight against our colonial ancestors in
consideration Of S20,O00,000. This vast
sum, backed by as much more, Fredric
left to his successor, who put 1t oil into
the hands Of the cunning knight of the
Red Shield. Frankfort was amazed at
this step. The famous bankers could not
understand why William should pass
them by, and repose his entire trust in a
banker comparatively unknown.
The cause was this Byron Estorff,
while adjutant. general to Duke Ferdinand
in the Seven Years War, became very in.
innate with Frederic and William. He
also learned much of the shrewdness, sag.
acity, and trustworthiness of Rothschild
when the latter was in the employ of OPP
penheim, the baron'S banker, and strong
ly recommended Mayer to the landgrave
as an eminently proper person to leave
money with. In consequence Of such
recommendation Mayer visited the palace
of the prince in Cassel, and found him
playing chess with the baron. Too tact.
ful to interrupt the game, he stood behind
the landgrave's chair, and held his peace
a mark of sense and sympathy which nc
sincere chess-player could fail to appreci
ate.
The game was going against William
who felt deeper interest in it on that
account After long pause, uncertain
what move to make next, he suddenly
turned to the banker with the question
"Do you understand chess?"
Rothschld, who had been closely
watching the board from his entrance
returned this diplomatic reply:
Sufficient well, your sorOno highuess
to induce me, were the game mine, tc
castle on the kings side."
That was master.stroke; it turned de.
feat to victory, and SO delighted the prince
that he put his hand on his advisers shold
er, saying: "You are a wise man. lie
who can cxtricate a chess.rlayer from
such difficulty as | was in must have 0
very clear head for business" He ther
talked for some time with his visitor, and
appointed another interview for the mex
day.
After the banker had gone he told tht
baron that Rothschild understood ches
like Frederic the Great, and that mar

ing care of other persons money.

charmed Haroun-ai. Raschid, Tamerlane
and Charlemagpe was never turned tt

PRESIDENT MADISON AND MR. SWEAR
INaIN.-President Madison was fond of
telling the story of a visit made to him
by one Of his supporters. After due in.
troductory discussion Of the weather and
state Of parties, the voter explained to
the President that he had called upon
him to ask for the Office Of ChiefJustice
Of the United States.
Mr.. Madison was little surprised but
with that ready tact which he had
brought from his diplomatic experience,
he concealed his astonishment. He took
down the volume which contained the
Constitution of the United States, and
explained to this Mr.. Swearingin--if that
was his name-that the judges held Office
on the tenure Of good behavior, and that
Judge Marshall, then the ornament Of
the bench, could not be removed to make
place for him.
Mr.. Swearingin received the announce
meut quietly; and, after moment, said
he thought he should ike to be Secretary
of State.
The President said that that was un.
doubtedly place where man could do
good service to the couotry; but that
Monroe, like Mr.. Swearingin and him
self, was VirginiaD, and he did not like
to remove him.
"Then," said Mr.. Swearingin, 81 will
be Secretary of the Treasury"
Unfortunately, the President said, the
present incumbent was Pennsylvania;
it was necessary to conciliate Pennsylva-
MIA ; and he could not remove him
Then" said Mr.. Swcaringin, "I thiak
| will 90 abroad. | should like 50 90 to
France"
"Do you speak French ?" asked the
President, kindly.
mo, no l speak nothing but Old Do
minion English-good enough for me,
Mr.. President"
"Yes, yes; and for me. But | don't
think it will do to send you to the Nom.
seers unless you can speak their Ian
guage."
"Then LII go to England"
"Ah, Mr., Swcaringin that will never
do; King George might remember how
often your father snapped his rife at
Lord Corvallis"
So Europe was exhausted. Aud Mr..
Swearingin fell back on one and another
collectorship, naval Office, district attor-
neyship; but, for each application, the
astute President had his reply.
IL think, then, Mr.. President, will
be postmaster at our office at home
Mr.. Madison had forgotten where that
was ; but, learning that it was at Slate
Greek, Four Corners, Botetourt County,
Virginia, he sent for the register. Alas
it proved that the office was in the hands
of one OF Morgan's veterans. Impossible
to remove him
Truly, Mr. Madison" said Mr..
Swearngin, II am obliged to you for
your attention to nv case. | see the diff
fculties that surround you. Now,seeing
you cannot give me the chief justices
place, nor Mr.. Monroe's, nor the Treas
ury, nor any Of these others, don't you
think you could give me pair Of old
leather breecheS ?"
Mr.. Madison thought he could-d
better gave him an order on his tailor
for the breeches; and Mr.. Swcaringin
went happily on his way.-From Old
and Nec far January.
