Charles Y. and Antony Fugger.

IN the sixteenth century, Charles Y.
made considerable loan of Antony
Fugger, at Augsburg, before entering
upon his not very successful campaign
against the Algerines. When the mighty
Emperor passed through Augsburg after
the unsatisfactory issue Of that campaign
in 1541, Antony Fugger received and en-
tertained him superbly in his mansion
there. The vast saloon is still shown in
the picturesque and famous old inn of the
Dre5 M0hren, into which the splendid
fnancier ushered his imperial guest. In
the huge fireplace pile of faggots of
costly Eastern sandal-wood had been
built up on two enormous andirons of
massive silver, and the banker, kneeling
on one knee before Caesar, asked the i'm
perial pleasure as to lighting up the pile
The day was chilly, the hall was immense,
and Caesar graciously admitted that a
blaze would be agreeable to him. Upon
this Fugger drew from the mysterious re-
cesses of the multifarious garments then
worn by people of Importance, roll of
papers, being neither more nor less than
the imperial bonds for the African loan
before mentioned, thrust one end of the
roll into the flame Of wax candle, light
ed the sandal-woOd, and tossed the bonds
into the cracking blaze. The courtiers
stood aghast with admiration at such un-
heard-of magnifcence, feebly paroded in
our own times by the elder Baron Roths-
child, when he lighted thousand-f franc
note and held it near the floor to help a
parsimonious French Duke pick UP a
louis which had rolled under the whist
table. The Emperor Charles, who COM
bined in himself rich vein of Spanish
humor with his strong Flemish good
sense, rewarded the lavish f1nancier on the
spot by making him a Count of the Holy
Roman Empire, but add ed, with twin
kle of his cool gray eyes, the decree that
the Fuggers should bear forever in their
escutcheon handsome pair of asses
ears. ~. Y. World.
