Craddock's Fee.

The morning the Press Association
left Greensboro some of the party
were slow In getting to the boat and
quite number were left and had to
go by train TO Henderson to catch
the special train. Just as the boat
pulled out, however, tho venerable
Col. Craddock, of the Paris Kentuck
ran, was seen ambling down tho
loveo valise in hand. Not dismayed
by seeing the boat swing out into the
middle of the river, Col. Craddock
tripped down to fish boat below
the wharf and induced the fisherman
to row him out to tho steamer IN
skiff. The excursionists on the Tell
City watched the chase with interest
The boatman was skillful at the oars,
however, and soon had his passenger
safely on the deck of the packet.
None of tho anxious watchers saw
anything change hands between Col.
Craddock and the boatman, but the
Ancient Relic being noted for his lib
crafty the assumption was thst the
boatman was fully compensated. The
incident has been variously discussed
in the State papers and there has
been good deal of guessing as to the
size of the fee. Meeting the boat
man, who was none other than
"Judge" Andy Dryer, representa-
tive of the Messenger asked him
what Col. Craddock gave him. "Not
a id cent" replied the "judge,'
who was quite well loaded, "but he
promised to send me his paper a
y ear and I've been running my legs
of going to the post-ofiice ever since,
but no paper has ever showed up"
Col. Crsddock probably forgot the
address of Judge" Dryer but will,
no doubt, forward the paper next
week. Owensboro Messenger.

said something in compliment OF the

being instantly taken with the pleasing
face OF the man replied:
Yes the shrrbbery Is beautiful at

"My dear SIR" said Bickle, 81 hear

The stranger said he thought he
would. Several days had passed since
he had encompassed any thing heavier
than thin-bread 'hand-out" from the
back window OF farmers kitchen.
and he was now ready to eat some-
thing. The stranger was not intro

presided at the table-indeed Bicklo
had not asked the name OF the way
farer--but this threw no damp dlsh-rag
upon an appetite that had longed for
sympathy and something 10 take into
it's embrace.
"Now, my friend, said Bicklc, when
the meal was finished, "let us go into
the library and smoke fragrant to-
bacco."
The stranger said that he would go.
During the past week he had smoked
cigar stubs crumbled into clay pipe,
and the thought of smoking tobacco
that had been subjected to no previous

THE ENGLISH RoTAscHlLDs.
characteristics OF the Parent Heads of the
Financial Family.


Some ten years ago old Baron Roths-
child passed. away full OF years, leaving
behind him a gigantic fortune. His
three nephews. Nathaniel. Leopold and
Alfred, sons OF Baron Lionel Roths-
child. inherited she city business, while
his vast riches In cash, lands, house
property and securities were for the
most part bequeathed TO his daughter,
the Countess OF RosebeFy. The three
London Rothschilds OF to-day boar lit
tic resemblance, either In face, form
or business hobits. 10 either their late
father OF uncle a'he elder, Nathaniel,
lately cpeated Lord Rothschlld, is u
far seeing man of great business CO.
pacity, and under his guidance the
great house still maintains its supre-
macy in the world OF London finance.
He is, however, a man who devotes his
attention only to great enterprises,
and consequently a vast amount Of
minor business of very profitable
nature that used to be executed by the
Rothschilds has Of late flowed into
other channels.
His Lordship excels rs diplomatic,
and his relations with Gladstone's Gov
ernment during the Egyptian affair
vore close and invaluable TO his house.
Simple British Taxpayers who paid
any attention TO the part England was
playing In the Khedlve's affairs for o
year or two previous to the slaughter
ing OF the heroic Gordon at Khartoum
roundly asserted that her expensive
interference In Egypt would never
have been pushed 80 far but for the
vast interests of the Rothschilds and
their clients there at stake. The head
OF the firm does not inherit his uncle's
love Of. sport. lie neither breeds nor
runs thoroughbred race-horses, and Is
rarely seen in the hunting-heid'
though in perfunctory manner he
still keeps up the famed pack oil stag
hounds. His counsel in financial mat
ters is highly esteemed by Her Maj
esty's Government and his life, like
that OF his predecessor. Is devoted to
money-getting. More Jewish In ap-
pearance than either OF his brothers.
his character and habits more clearly
indicate his Hebraic origin.
Alfred de Rothschild Is also very IT.
regular in his attention to business In
''the Lane" He Is not generally
credited with any particular aptitude
for playing the great game OF finance
but has charge of the routine business
OF the firm. Almost any morning on
the stroke of eleven his neat brougham
may be seen pulling up at the corner
Of Cannon street and St. Swithin's
Lane, whence its elegantly-attired
owner proceeds on foot to his Office.
