Banker of ' .Antwerp—A Prea'ele
graph Story.
• In 181.1• there lived at Antwerp ; a
,banker .
who hid aTossion for speculation, hot who in
wastunsuCceiSful, This ill-luck be
cameproverbiak•his affairs fell into Confusion,
and all Antwerp loOketi..tO see him - become
bankrupt and retire flom the ..preclriet-of the.
'exChange, when, .suddenly, his fuck changed
and he'gainedin ev ery 'operation he undertook
as invariably 'as . .h had forrnerly lost. '
matter how suddenly' or how violently 'the
funds went unor'down in Perie,"London,..Vien
na Or elsewhere, the Antwerp banker . was, al
ways the • gainer by every, •rriciv,ernent of .the
money market; no matterfrOW Capricious..- . Tit
the course of . two years.he'reeliz.ed a large,ier-,
tune,..quitted'AntWerp with his wife and fami
ly, and establiihedhiniselflor the rest of 'his
life in a. charmin g i country seat, where' he'
abandoned himself ti) the delights of'rtiral exis.
tence antfeultivatiOn of (dowers; which 'latter
branch of horticulture he pursued with ar. abid
ing.enthttlsiasen worthy of a Dutchman:: °
The electric telegraph was unknown at the
period in question, and the clumsy signals by
which' ;• statesman •cOntriVed to communicate
with one; atiother' were. only, worked' • by ' the
beads .of the state, and for ..their own. behoof;
and Antivetp,puzzled its brains fof some.. time.
'in train effertsto ascertain by what myiteriouS
•art ; the 6Z-banker had n : inged ta, turn the tide
and.to win over to.hiSintetests the, favors of '
thcblind goddess who had hith erto been so de
eidedly,against him. In 'these 'speculations
upon the changed fate of the;speculator,. Ant
werksimply lostits trouble; nor was it mai
several years afterward that the seeming rriys
terY Was explained • ' '
It had been noticed in. Antwerp es a stngulai
facrthat two drivers of stage-coaches belong
ing to thaf..city lied made, during the lucky
period ofthe banker's' career,' fortunes, which
in proportion with their means, were as , con=
'siderable as that amassed by the speculator.
But no.one thought of attributing the improved .
position of the two coaclimen to the operations
of the fortunate speculator. Yet all three
owed their good luck to the same simple expe-
. .
• If any. of the towns-people had bethough.
them of watching the goinigs . of .the banker,
they:Would ;have.seen that' every' evening about
nine o'clock - ' the • latter betoOk himself to. , a
lonely cottage of his, standing in the midst of
a garden, a few - miles from the town. There,
in silence-and 'secrecy, the banker received the
visit of One-en the other of the two coachmen,
to whein,.after the exchange of a few words,
.he hanged a basket-carefully covered over with
apiece of tarpaulin, and. which was at once go-
Posited by theeoachman at the bottom of: a,
great, hamper,. of .poultry; collected, by hini at
the neighboring farms; and to be sold ' bY .hirn
i k t . the towns - through, which he d rove. h is coach.
As soon' as the coachmati had /aken his leave,
the banker locked the cottage 'iloor:':and . went
up.stairs Ma room fitted 'tip as a pigeon:house,
of whose exiatenceMo one else was. aware, in
which a number of pigeons soon began'to Make
their..aPpearanc& with :hanging WingS, impa
tient to "drop into their 'nests. . The banker
laving stroked and petted the weary birds and
gave them some corn,:gently lifted.-their wings
and detachedthelittle billet, conveyed to -him
by each undonscious•imessenger. These birds
brought to the speculatornewe Of the exchange.
on all the principal-markets of Europe.. Sent
off gaily froM.London, Paris, Vienna, grusSels,.

A SCRAP OF Ersionir.—There have been eight
specific attempts to 'defy the authorities of the
yCderai Governmeht since its formation...
-.1 - The first was in 13.92, and waFe'a •consniraey
of.Some.of the officers of thO 'Federul weroi to
cOrisolidate the 'thirteen.States into one,
.and
confer the.snpreme . 'pOwer on" Washington.
• • The ifeconirwas in.llB6,•called .“Shay's•.lO
surraction;",in Massachusetts.' . • . •
The third was iu 1804, pOpularly called !(the
Whiskey,
.IhsurrectiOn.of Pennsylvania:"--
The four t h Instance was in,1799.; by the op.'
ponehts of the Sedition laws, known in Berks
county as-the 4 cSehreckenzeiten," or Reign *of
Terror." The federal troops.took'one of -the
editors of the Adler, Judge Snyder, to'the roar . -
ketplade and horge-whipped-him, which ended
the insurrection. . . •
The fifth instance was in 151.1; hy*.the Hart
ord COnvention of the Federalists.
The sixth - , on which . occasion the: differeo
of the. Union came into collisio . n;Was in 1850
. .
under the administration of President' Monroe,
and occurred on the question of the admission
'of MiesOnii into .. the. Union. . • .• •
The seventh was collision betvieen . . the
Legislature of Qeorgia and the Federal .Govern
meat,"in regard to certain lands, given' by the
latter to the Creek Indians: ' •
