STAR DEPTHS. = The mind of man
utterly fails to realize the immensity of
space, and no one unaccustomed to the
use of the telescope can have any ade-
quate idea ofthe difference presented by the
heavens when viewed by the naked eye
and mind Of the astronomer. How diff
cult it is to realize that each star, in the
solemn depths of the universe, is a sun
like our sun, but separated one from each
other and our own by distances almost be-
yond the power of man to computed Only
about 5000 stars can be distinctly seen
and counted by the naked eye, while an
ordinary telescope reveals the presence
of something like $4,000. Herschel's
great 18-inch instrument, it is estimated,
shows 10000, while the great Rosse
telescope, by its vast penetrating power,
is supposed to open to our vision not less
than 7O0,000t Aud yet, when the whole
heavens are swept by this telescope, we
have only penetrated a distance into
space from our standpoint on this globe,
which, when compared to the immensity
beyond, Is no more than the space occu-
pied by the room where we read or write
it, to the immensity of depth penetrated
by the last mentioned instrument.

A STORY OF kOTHscHILD. - Many
stories are told of the Rothschilds, gener-
ally illustrating their shrewdness and
greed in money-getting; but here is a
story which shows that even Rothschild
may be entrapped by pretty young lady ::
During one of the fairs in Paris, some
years ago, Baron James de Rothschild was
a patron. CHANGING to pass q stand where
some pretty young ladies were installed,
he asked, in bantering tone,-
FWell, my dears, what can do for your
"Ah, Baron," said one, 'you can give
US your autograph"
with pleasure, responded the gallant
old Baron, "if you will preface it with an
agreeable sentiment"
So the young lady, without much ado,
wrote on dainty slip of paper,--
81 hereby donate to - charity ten
thousand francs" and the Baron imme-
diately signed his name in full, and
Smilingly paid the amount to the enter.

ROthschiIds' Wealth.
THE BILLIONS OF MONEY POSSESSED BY
THAT FAMOUS HOUSE.

THAT FAMOUS HOUSE.
The combined capital of the Roths-
childs is stated by Emile Burnouf, the
well known publicist, to have attained in
the present year to the almost incalcula-
BILE sum of seventeen billions of francs, or
$3,40O, 100000. NJ. BurnouFs opportu-
mites of information and temperate hab-
its of speech invest his statement with
certain authority, and probably justify
US in accepting it as no approximation
to the fact.
The significance of these stupendous
| figures may be ru1ely conceived by COM
psrison, but there Is nothing in the his
y of private wealth with which they
can be compared. The capital of the
Barings, the estates of Lord Dudley, the
Marquis of Butte. and the head of the fam
lily of Grosvenor, belong relatively to a
humble category, to which the City Of
New York has contributed the fortunes of
Astor, Vanderbilt aud Stewart. The
financial resources attributed to the Roths-
childs can best be measured by contrast
ing them with the funded debts of the
richest countries on the globe. 1t will
then be found that the capital of this
house, as estimated by Mr.. Burnouf, is
about equal to the whole funded debt of
Great Britain, or that of France, and
greatly exceeds the national debt of the
United States.
A single century, or the possible span
of one mans life, has sufhced for the ac-
cumulation of this fortune and the rise Of
its authors from a shabby rookery in the
Judenstrasse of Frankfort to the domina-
ton of Europe. The name of Rothschild
and the name of Bonaparte began to be
known at the same epoch, and the de-
scendants of the Jewish banker are more
powerful to day than the heir of Napo-
leon. At the period of Rothschild's first
decisive triumph on the London Exchange
the day after Waterloo, just sixty years
ago-John Jacob Astor was already q
rich man. The great fortune which the
latter bequeathed, although guarded from
subdivision and carefully administered,
is not believed by competent observers to
exceed at present fifty millions Of dollars,
while the inheritance of his Hebrew con-
temporary has been swollen to more than
sixty times that sum. 1t is therefore
either mistake to suppose that colossal
capital must content itself with dlmin.
ished rates of increase, or we must rank
the financial ability which during the
last half century has welded the Roths-
child funds among the exhibitions of
human genius.
In an age when the availing capital Of
States is a prime factor for their military |
efficiency as we'll as the pacific develop |
ment of their resources, 1t is not easy To |
!. - - n. a Ii II
moment, the good will or displsasure Of
the Rothschilds might sway the destinies
of nations. 1t Is fortunate, perhaps, that
the operations Of the house has never, to |
the knowledge of the public, been die

THERE is stou. tusslc going on be-
tween Bismarck and the Pope for the
domination of the new King ard Cab
met of Spain. Before the abdica.lon
of Queen Isabella, and as far back as
the wear 1871. a concOrdat agreement
was entered into between the Papacv
and Spain by which the latter con-
tracted with his Holiness to recognize
only the Catholic religion and toll
crate no other in the kingdom. When
Isabella was banished, the new Gov
eminent enacted law for religious
liberty. This was confirmed by King
Amadeus, and was found in existence
on the accession OF Alfonso, the son Of
Isabella. II is well understood that
the law of religious federation was in
fuenced by and received strong sup
port from Germany. The majority of
the Spanish people are believed to IA
vor it now, and German influence Is
active in trying to have it retained.
But the Pope is memorable in his de-
mands for the complete restoration of
the concordat of 1851, and the re-estab-
lishment of tho Roman Catholic as the
religion of Spain to the exclusion of
all other religions. The new kingand
