ANCIENT MONEY KINGS.
Persinns, Greeks and Romans Who
Revellcd In Riches.

Fers1NnH, GrcekS anu Romans "nu
Revelled in Riches.
In these days. when so much notice
is taken of millionaires, it may not be
out Of place to recall few Of those of
ancient times. 1t is known that in
Assyria there were large masses OF
gold, and that Darius received in trib.
ute from Persia as much as SIG, $50, 900.
The sacred writings tell that Solomon
was immensely rich, that silver waA
abundant in Jerusalem, and that in one
year the king received from Hiram 800
talents Of gold equal to $16,250.0O0.
In Greece, Croesus possessed in land
ed property fortune equal to $780,
600, besides an army of slaves. Ho
used to say that citizen who had not
fortune sufficient to support an army
or legion did not deserve the title
Of a rich man. The wealth of 'Pythcno
was estimated at $15,O0O,O00.
The philosopher Seneca acquired i'm
mense wealth under his pupil Nero,
but he was afterward put to death by
the tyrant. and his fortune of $50, $780,
600 contiscatcd. The wealth Of Lentu-
llls, the soothsaycr, was estimated at
$17.5OOOOO.
The debts Of some Of the great per
sonages Of ancient times We're enor-
nous. Those Of Million amounted to
$3,O0O,OOO. Julius Caesar, before he
entered office, owed S1G.OOOO0O; he
purchased the friendship of CuriO for
$2,5O0,OO0, and that of Lucius Paulus
for $7,5OO0OO. At the time Of Caesars
assassination, Anthony was in debt to
the amount of $7,5OO,000. This sum,
which he owed in the ides of March.
was paid before the kalends of April,
and he squandered $147, 100000 of the
public treasury.
Augustus obtained, says the Chicagr
Times, by testamentary disposition rs
much rs $16O.OOO.OO0. The Roman I'm
peror Tiberius at his death left S11S,-
600, 900, which Ca!igu1a spent in less
than twelve months. We have no such
instance of a modern spendthrft. One
supper alone cost him $15O,OOO. Yes
pasian, on ascending the throne. esti.
mated his expenses at SIT, 100000.
Apicius, noted cpicure, who lived
in the time Of Augustus, expended So
100000 in debauchery, and. finding on
an examination of his affairs, that he
had 20 more than 100000 left, he pois-
oncd himself, because he considered
that sum insufficient for his maintc-
nance. The efforts of our nineteenth
century "plungers" pale before such
instances.

The Whitney Recital.

A good audience attended q most
delightful entertainment at Y. Nj. G.
A. hall Saturday evening. Mr..
Whitney's six numbers were handled
in q manner which denoted careful
study. His rendition OF "The Raven"
was revelation, it being given with
a power and finish that is seldom
excelled. His work in the humor-
Gus selections also deserves particu-
lar mention, each character being
brought out in a manner that was
entertaining and amusing in the ex.
treme. On the whole Mr.. Whitney
showed himself finished reader and
most versatile impersonator. 1t is
hoped he will be heard from again
soon under more favorable circum-
stances. ... ...
OF those who assisted Mr.. Whit
ney, Prof. Berger heads the list, and
his work is so popular with all, that
to mention it at length would be
superhuous. The cornet solo by
Prof. Pesquale was good and was
accorded an encore. Mr.. Ordway's
banjo playing was phenomenal, and
the finest work OF his life, He was
ably seconded by Mr.. Hennessy on
guitar and mandolin. Tho pair re-
sponded to two hearty encores.
On the whole, the entertainment
was highly enjoyable, and was, to
those who were present, pleasing
break in the moDotonous existence
which martial law imposes upon the
community.
