One of the early achievements of a mem-
ber of the house,Nathan Mayer Rothschild,
was a hasty trip from the field of Waterloo
to London, where he arrived before news
of the battle had reached the Government

Wellington, and, as soon as the battle was
over rode at break -neck speed to Ostend,
traversed the stormy channel at

There are satisfactory indications of

throughout the Southern cities of the

In the North- Wes t there is no improvement.
Agricultural products are somewhat bet-

events of two days before Waterloo, when
the Prussian Field Marshal, Blucher, had
been beaten by a detachment of the French
army ab Ligny. The gloomy air of Rothe -
child and the reports which were set in
motion of the defeat of the allies caused a
sudden tumble in the prices of securities,
The secret agents of the house seized the
opportunity to make enormous purchases
of the English nonsolidated stocks, and
Rothaohild realized million, when, a few
hours later, the news of the Great British
victory reached London.
It was not altogether by flnesse,however,
that the Rothschilds built up the strength
of their house. The founder, Mayer Am-
schel Rothschild, was the son of a poor
dealer in furniture and bric-a-brac at
Frankfort, and waa a banker there at the
time of the Napoleonic invasion. The elector
of Hesse placed in his custody a sum of
about 15,000,000 francs in coin ($3,000,000)
which was transmitted in part to the son
in London, the same Nathan Mayer whose
hasty trip from Waterloo has just been
described. General Marbot, in his "Mem-
oirs of Napoleon," tells of the vain efforts
of the Emperor to force the old man to
surrender the money. A commiseion went
to his eatabliehmentand minutely examined
the vault and the books. Menaces and
intimidation were in vain, however, in
persuading Rothschild to divulge the where-
abouts of the treasure, and the commission
undertook to play upon his religious
scruples by demanding an oath. He
REPOSED TO TARE IT,
and there was talk of putting him tinder
arrest. Napoleon did not quite care to
venture such au eat of violottce, and an
effort teas then made to win the old man
by the promise of gain. They proposed to
him to leave him half the treasure if he
would deliver the other half to the French
ofiioiale, They promised him a receipt in
full, accompanied by a certificate proving
that he had yielded only to force and that
he was blameless for the seizure of the
entire amount. "But the probity of the
Jew," says Marbot, "led him to reject his
proposition ,and they left him iu peace."
The Elector, having returned to power
in 1814, the Frankfort banker returned to
him exactly the deposit which had been en-
trusted to him. The terms of the depositgave
the Rothschilds the benefit of the interest
earned by the money while in their custody
and was a large element in the foundation
of their fortune.
Nathan Mayer Rothschild had been es-
tablished in London as early as 1793, and
married there in 1806 the daughter of a
rich Jewish banker, Levi Barnet Cohen.
During the war with Spain Nathan Mayer
was charged, in concert with his father,
with transmitting to the Duke of Welling-
ton in Spain the funds which the English
Government desired to place there. He
was reported to have gained in eight years
by these operations 30,000,000 francs ($6,-
000,000), a high premium, which is ex-
plained by the risks and difficulty of trans-
mitting specie on many occasions aoroas
Prance and through the lines of
THE HOSTILE ARMIES.
Nathan Mayer was also employed in
transmitting to the continental powers the
immense subsidies which were allotted
them by Great Britain. They amouuted in
it single year to £11,000,000 ($55,000,000).
These remittances were generally made by
means of exchange operation, and the
Rothaohilds knew so well how to balance
them against loans made by the continental
powers and ordinary commercial exchanges
that during the entire period exchange upon
tion of public Ioans. A fourth brother,
Carl, established himself at Naples, where
for 40 years he eoudueted the financial
operations of the Governments of the Italian

eetablisbment was that founded by Jame
Rothaohild, at Paris, after the close of the
Napoleonic era. He . wan charged with
,.
paying to the allied powers the war indem-
nttioe due from Franoe, and as his power
grew he acquired a practical monopoly over
the lane of French seourltiea.
These five branches of the original bank-
ing house, although formerly 3istinot from
eachother, anted in concert, and one sel-
dom undertook an important transaction
without consultation with the others. The
establishment at Naples was abandoned
after 1860, but a son-in•law of the Rothe-
childe named Lambert established a bank
at Brussels. The New York branch is
under the direction of the Belmonts, and
the original Belmont was a German Jew
named Sohoenberg, who, un reaching the
United States gave a Norman form to his
name. Prof. Claudio Jannet,of the Catholic
Institute of Paris, from whose brilliant
book, "Le Capital, la Speculation, et la
Finance Au Dix-Neuvieme Siecle," many
of these facts are derived, sums up the
present attitude of the Rothschilds, and

It is thus, it is said, that he apprised Lord
Aberdeen, the chief of the English Cabinet'
of the first news of the revolution of July.
He maintained emissaries in every Cabi-
net. The Chevalier de Gentz, the keen,
unsorupulous but always essential assistant
of Metternich, was at Vienna the friend of
Solomon Rothschild, and one may easily
comprehend what this familiarity might be
worth to him. Anselm Mayer, who auo-
ceeded his father, the old Amschel at
Frankfort, hada clientele of all the reign-
ing or expectant German Princes ; the list
of the loans he made them is the explana-
tion of his omnipotence in Germany.
Governments have, indeed, countenanced
this situation. At the name time that the
Emperor Francis II, created the five
brothera Barons of the Holy RomanEmpire,
he named James Rothschild his ConsuI-
General at Paris, and conferred the same on

"Sir Lionel de Rothschild, who succeed-

death of Nathan Mayer, in 1836, was
elected a member of the Commons by the
" City," and was the occasion in 1848 of
the voting of a bill by which he was admit-
ted to Parliament on taking the oath on
the Old Testament. His son, Nathaniel,
the fourth of the name, was elevated to
the peerage in 1886. Sir Lionel, solidly
supported by his immense capital, and
taking account of the prejudices of public
opinion, renounced the manipulations of
the market and the profits on margins
familiar to his father. lie occupied him-
self almost exclusively with the issue of
public loans. He was the accredited agent
of the Russian Government at London. He
placed during his career £160,000,000 ($8,-

which he personally guaranteed the pay-

afternoon at the residence of David Ed-

witted son, David Edwards, jun., aged 25,
murdered his sister, Annie, aged 30 years,

from an ordinary hammer. There had
been no quarrel between them. On the
contrary, he was very fond of his sister,
They were alone in the kitchen about 4
o'clock when their mother, who was an in-

where she found her daughter dead on the
floor, with her sen standing by her side, a
hammer iu his hand, The rest of the family
were in the city at the time, but on their
return at 7 o'clock found Mrs. Edwards
nearlydead from exposure,as efts bad stood
for hours outside. The son was arrested
and brought to the central Station in the
city to -night. An inquest will be held but
there is no doubt that a verdict of insanity
will be returned. The son David, jun.,
had been noted for his' eccentricities for
some time peat, but was thought to be
harmless.

McRITCHIE AND DAUGHTER,
A leading local physician, whose
profession takes him among the chil-
dren of the various public institutions;
remarked to the writer, that one
would hardly believe that so many
children were affected by nervous
troubles, which sap the system and
prevent proper development. In
many cases the doctors are powerless
to cure these troubles. They can
relieve the suffering little ones, but in
South American Nervine we have a
medicine that does more than simply
give relief. Its peculiar strength is
that it completely cures where physi-
cians relieve. A ease in point came to
us the 24th ult., in a letter from Mr.
James W. McRitchie of Bothwell,
Ont. Ile says :—"My daughter
Maggie, aged 9 years, was afflicted
with nervous fainting spells for over
a year, which left her in such a con-
dit'on of weakness afterwards that
the child was practically an invalid.
We tried several remedies and doctor-
ed with her in one way and another,
but nothing gave relief, Seeing South
American Nervine advertised, as par-
ticularly efficacious in nervous dis.
eases, I decided on trying it for her,
and I must say that I noticed a decided
change in my daughter for the better
after she had taken only a few doses.
As a result of using this medicine, shit
is now entirely free from those faint-
ing spells and possessed of that life
and brightness that is the happy lot
of childhood. I am satisfied it is an
excellent medicine for any nervous
weakness. My experience has been
further supplemented in the fact that
my wife has also been using South
American Nervine for indigestion,
dyspepsia and nervous prostration,
and has found very great relief."
Whether the patient be Than or
woman, young or old, South American
Nervine provides a complete medium
for restoration to health. It is a
medicine differing absolutely from
every other. A cure is effected by
application to the nerve centres of the
human system, and science has proved
that when these nerve centres are
kept healthy the whole body is healthy.
For these reasons failure is imposs-
ible.

Consumption of Alcohol.
In 1885 the consumption of beer in Eng-
land was 32 gallons por head ; in Soatland
16, and in Ireland 16; the consumption of
cider in England 0.4, and none at ail in the
other two countries ; the consumption of
spirits in England 0.8, in Scotland 1.0, in
Ireland 1 ; the consumption of wine 0.5 in
England, 0.5 in Scotland, and 0.2 in Ireland
The English drinker's partiality far beer
and the Scotch and the Irish dzinker's
preference for spirits is clearly shown
When these amounts are converter) into
their equivalents of alcohol, we °see that
iroland consumes least --1.4 gallons per
head, Scotland comes next with 1.6, and
England heads the list with 2.13 gallons of
alcohol for each man, woman, and child of
the population; this, by a curious and no
-
designed ooinoidenae, is just under one
,tunas a day per head, the quantity which
o many medical authorities assume San be
aafoly taken -'-the p'.tyaiologioal quantity
which the country has heard so much et
late years. Children seldom touch alcohol,
moat women take little, and many men do
not take any at all ; so that the habitual
eoneumers of alcohol, whether they drink
to excess or not, get through three or four
times the amount which the leading med-
ical authorities assort should not be ex-
oeeded.
