The Duko of Ormond had £23,000 a year; his Grace the Duko of Buckingham, £19,600; and Monk, Duke of Albemarle, left property which would yield a like sum. Macauly, quo ting King's Natural and Political Conclusions, says the average income of a temporal peer was about £3,000 a year; of a baronet, £900; member of the House of Commons, £800; (History of England, i. 309). Sir William Temple'observes: “The revenues of a House of Commons have seldom exceeded £400,- 000” (Memoirs p. 3). Passing up to the eighteenth century, it has been said, no donbt with truth, that hardly any Englishman could have produced half a million of money in 1750. We presume Al derman Beckford could have done so, as in 1770 he left his son Fonthill, which had cost £240,000, £100,000 a year and a million of ready money. How rapidly that fortune was dissipated! The author of Vatliek, at the age of thirty-six, in 179G came to reside at Fonthill, and began to build a new house in the Gothic style. The following description of the house, by a visitor, is given in the preface to a recent edition of Vatliek: “To give you an idea of the place, you must think of York Minster placed on a commanding in the midst of a woodland paradise of rnaDy miles in extent. Although at this spot the in terior of Fonthill has not the vastness of York Minister, yet I think the whole building It consists of a few narrow ! stands on more ground- The dazzling effect THE TERMS of tie HERALD in u follows : DAILY, 1 tmr *10 00 | WEEKLY. 1 Tar...*2 00 DAILY.

Six miles south of Jerusalem lies, on the slope of a rugged ridge, the town of Bethle hem of Judea, It consists of a few narrow . , - . , . , - . streets, along which stragglo some two hun-1 of the stained glass m the^lofty windows, when dred houses. The traveler who leaves the A% At ** 4 Holy City by the Jaffa Gate, crosses the valley at Gibon, and taking the road over the heights that skirt the Valley of Rephaiin, catches here and there, through openings iq the hills, glimpses of the Dead Sea. On the crest of a rooky emiuencc. at the eastern edge of the town, rises, massive in strength, and hoar wiili the weight of fourteen centuries, the Church of the Nativity, whose Basilica and Sacred Grotto now, as in ages long past, are in the joint possessidA of the Greeks, Latins and Armenians. Each of these orders of monks occupy their own monasteries adjacent to the church—those of the Greek persuasion being under the protectorate of Russia; those oi t ie Latin under that of France. From the broad flat roof of the monastery of the Latins there is a grand view of the sur rounding country in its beauty and its deso lation^ From the valley below, with its green meadows and its orchards of olive trees, comes up, as oi old, in the still air of the ear ly morning, of the shepherd leading his flocks to pasture, and the tinkling of bells. • The dark gTeen foliage of the orange and the fig, tempered by the greyer tints of the olive, spreads, in places, across the valley until they mingle with tbo leaves of the vines planted in trraces on the broken slopes of the hills. To the east, a re the plains of the Jor dan, and the mountains of Gilead, Moab, and Seir. To the north, the bleak and rugged hills of Judea, rounding and softening grad ually into verdure as they sweep to the west in the remotest distance. On the south, are the gardens of Urtas, lying in the lap of hills all bare and scarred, and not very far off are the Pools of Solomon—three vast reservoirs, bnilt one above another, on the sloping sides cf a narrow valley, and tapped, at the lowest point, by the aqneilnct that supplies Jerusa lem with water. Descending from the roof of the monastery, and entering the Church of the Nativity, its noble Basilica, with its double lines of Moorish columns, is, perhaps, the most striking archi tectural feature. Under tha high altar is the the sun throws their colors on the crimson carpets, contrasted with the vivid green lawn Iseeu in the distance through the lofty entrance doors, themselves as high as a moderate-sized house; the galleries a hundred feet abovo j’ou; the magnificent mirror at the end of the room reflecting the prospect of the grounds for miles, present a scene I shall never see equalled. Looking right and left, you have a clear view of three hundred and thirty feet, not bare stone walls, but a magnificent apart ment, furnished with the most valuable books, cabinets, paiotiDgs, mirrors, crimson silk hangings, and a thousand things besides; you walk the w hole distance on superb carpets, and at every step your attention is arrested by some beautiful work of art or natural curiosi ty.” In 1822, the wholo, in consequence of the depreciation of his West India property, combined with reckless expenditure, was sold to Mr. John Farquhar for £330,000; and its former owner went to Lath, and there built an immense tower, from the summit of which he could see Fonthill, thougla- seventy miles distant THE RISE OP THE GREAT HOUSE OF ROTnS- C OLLIER A VENABLE, Wholesale and retail Drop- cists and Prescriptioniats, corner Peachtree and Decatur streets. street Atlanta, Ga. belongs to the eighteenth century. Meyer Ausclrn, a Jew, was born in 1713, and was established os a money-lender, etc., in Frank fort, in 1722. From this poor shop, bearing the sign of the Bed Shield, he acquired the name of Bothschild. He found a good friend in William Landgrave, of llcsse; and when the Landgrave, in 180C», had to flee from Napoleon, he iutrusted the banker with about £250,000 to take care of. The careful Jew traded with this; so that, in 1812, when he died, he left abont a million sterling to his six sons, Anselm, Solomon, Nathan, Meyer, Charles, and James. Knowing tbo truth of the old motto, “Union is strength,” he charged his sons that they should conduct their financial operations together. The third son, Nathan, was the cleverest of the family, and had settled in England, coming to Manchester in 1707, and to London in (From the Murfreesboro News, May 80.*] Between the hours of 12 o'clock Saturday night and daybreak Sunday morning a horri ble outrage and murder was perpetrated upon the person of Mrs. Elizabeth Hampton, a poor but highly respectable widow woman, who was employed as cook in tbo family of ’Squire Richard Nance, near Versailles, in thi9 coun ty, by a negro man named Joe Woods, the particulars of which so far ns wo have been able to gather them, arc substantially as fol lows : It appears that Mrs. Hampton had but re cently moved to the Nance place, and was living in a cabin formerly occupied by the negro, Joe Woods, who was well acquainted with the premises. On the Tuesday night preceding the murder the negro man went up to her door and knocked, stating that two white men wanted to see her. She replied that white men had no business at her door at that hour of the night, and refused to open it. Nothing more was noticed in the conduct of the negro man until Saturday afternoon, when he was seen prowling around Mrs. Hampton’s house and looking into the inte rior through a crevice where some boards had been knocked off As she retired to her house Saturday night, Woods accosted her, asking her whether she intended to take her ax in with her. She told him she was in the habit of taking it in every night The nogro then went away. As Mrs. H. did not make her appearance at ’Squire Nance’s house at the usual hour Sun day morning, a party, suspecting something wrong, proceeded to her abode. They knock ed upon her door, but receiving no answer, burst tho door in, and the lady was found with her skull badly Iractured, evidently done with an rx. T^pon the bed in her room were ly ing her three little children—aged respective ly five, eight and eleven years—who were quietly sleeping, unconscious that they had been bereft, by the hand of tho foul murderer, of their loved mother. Suspicion at onco fastened tho negro, Joo Woods, as tho perpetrator of tho crime, and instant search was made for him. He was caught, and on Monday morning a prelimina ry examination was had before Esquire Lamb, and Woods was committed to our county jail on a charge of murder. It appeared in evidence that, on the Tues day night preceding the commission of the horrible crime, Woods had boasted to some of bis colored friends that he intended to sat isfy his hellish desires on the person of Mrs. Hampton, and about two o’clock on the morning of the murder, as his wife testified, she missed him from her bed. The clothing ho had on when arrested also indicated fur ther evidence that he was the perpetrator of the crime. In addition to all this, when Mrs. Hampton was found, on Sunday morning, she was yet conscious, though sinking fast, and fully inculpated Woods as her murderer. There cannot be a donbt of tho monster’s guilt. At last accounts Mrs. H. w as alive, but no hope is entertained of her recovery. G EO. J.

Grotto of the Nativity, reached by two short 1S0 , 3 - Tw “\ v .° !“» We Re ,° hi “. ttt W f - - - - - terloo, watching tho battle, and posting to England ns soon as he knew the issue, and flights of steps, one on each side of the altar. The so-called Grotto is a small subterranean chapel, constructed in tlio natural cavern of limestone rock, once used as a stable, accord ing to the frequent custom of the country. The chapel, thirty five feet in length and twelve in breadth, is hung, in part, with cloth, painted in colors and emblazoned with Latin emblems, and partly with richly embroidered tapestries. Thirty- two silver lamps, suspended by chains of the same metal, light np the in terior. At one end of the sacred Grotto is a semi-circnlar recess of about six feet in diam eter, faced and paved with rare marbles of various colors. In the centre of the pave ment of this recess is a silver star, which maiks, or is supposed to mark, the identical spot on which the Saviour was born. On the opposite side of the chapel is another holy place, lighted, like the shrine of tho nativity, with sixteen lamps, and the smoke from gol den censers fills the air with aromatic fra grance. This description, gathered from many sources, will serve to elucidate the causes of the quarrel between the Latin and the Greek .Monks, which has stained the pavement with iiuinsn blood, and brought dishonor upon the Christian name. As at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, at Jerusalem, the joint occupancy of the Church and the Grotto of the Nativity at Bethlehem, has led to frequent and bitter controversies, each of the two district orders of monks being jealous of its privileges even in the most tri vial matters. These guardians of the sacred edifice have illustrated on many occasions ♦he Christian zeal by the most unchristian practices. At one time, years ago, the disap pearance of the silver star from the recess in the Grotto, gave rise to a bitter fend in which the Latins, by French intervention, ultimate ly triumphed over the Greeks. More recent ly, the attempt of the Latins to repair the painted cloth—worn and blurred with age— with which the ceiling of the Grotto is cover ed, excited the anger of the Greeks aDd the trouble was only settled by the arrival of the Turkish troops, and after protracted diploma tic negotiations between the representatives of France and Kussia respectively at Constan tinople. The evil spirit thus engendered has, since then, been continually manifesting itself in petty things. A few months ago tho old casus belli broke out afresh. In spite of the protests of the Greeks, the pictured canvass tLat had been so long a.sub ject of dispute, was removed by tbe direct orders of the Sultan, and replaced by another, freshly painted and an exact reproduction of the original. Then followed further contest. The Greeks introduced an additional lamp into the Grotto, the Latins supplemented the innovation by hanging on the walls an addi tional piece of silk drapery. This brought on a war of words. From words the rival monks proceeded to blows, and from blows to a disgraceful fight with firearms within the precincts of tho sanctuary. In the melee eleven of these precious members of the church militant wctc either killed or severely wonnded, and tho murderous affray was only brought to a close by the interposition of Turkish troops. It is a scandal to the age; a scandal to civilization, that in the land from which we derive onr religious faith, and in tbe very birthplace of the Bavionr, such nn- •eemly brawls and sanguinary excesses should be permitted to desecrate the sanctuaries that are tbe constant resort of pilgrims from every Christian land. Intebestino Fmidsei,—According to no official statement the amount of tax on spirits collected by the United States in 1872 was $49,475.51G 36. This represents abont 100,- 000,000 gallons, worth at wholesale $85,<XM>,- 000, bnt which brought at retail about $317,- 000,000. This aggregates a moneyed interest of over $400,000,000. The beer trade pays a lax to tbe Government of $8,673,498 46. This represents a retail value of over $212,- 000,000, which, added to the value of the article to the manufacturers, represents a moneyed interest of abont $300,000,000. The wine trade represents an interest of $75,000,- 000. The import trade of liquors, beer and wine represents a retail value of $27,000,000; of beer, $2,800,000; of wines, $135,000,000, or a total of nearly $165,000,000. Added to all this the capital invested in building and machinery, etc., together with the expenses connected directly and indirectly with the trade, the footing is at least $1,500,000,000, or nearly three-fourths of the national debt Ilrruiusii. — Four hundred and eighty "priests of tbe Church of England” have peti tioned the Bishops in Convention to consider the advisability of providing for the license of “duly qualified confessors, in accordance with the provisions of tbe Canon Law. ” The Archbishop of Canterbury treated the peti tion as an "attempt to entrap the House into ““ °P ini «b” *nd pointed out that the petitioners went on to ssk that prey- ere might be appointed to be said tor tho “Blessed Virgin Mary," and that there should be a “Holy Communion of Burials," and “Commemoration of the Dead," as well as special services for baptized children. His Grace spoke in strong terms of condem nation of these and other ritualist practices, and intimated that he would not scrapie to do again what ha bad done in a similar in stance—revoke the license of curates who en couraged confessions. Georgia has not now a single Republican newspaper. spreading everywhere the defeat of the Eng lish. The clever but unscrupulous specula tor thus depressed the funds, and his Agents were enabled to bny at a cheap rale; and it is said that he made a million by this trans action. He died in 183C;but the real amount of his wealth never transpired. It has been said: “Nothing seemed too gigantic for his grasp, nothing too minuto for his notice. His mind was as capablo of contracting a loan for millions as of calculating the lowest pos sible amonnt on which a clerk could exist.”— Chronicles ami Characters of the Stock Ex change. A RICH PRINTER, William Strahan, the printer, made a largo fortune in the latter half of tho eighteenth century. Ilis third son, Andrew, who suc ceeded him in tbo business, left more than a million when he died in 1831. Thirty years after, tho Duko of Buckingham died, who, like his father, squandered a vast fortune at Stowe, and bad to 6cll the contents of tbe mansion. The sale occupied forty days, and realized $75,502 4s. Gd. (Burnley Forster’s Priced and Annotated Catalogue.) What a pity such a dispersion seemed ! His Grace was, says Sir Bernard Burke, after tho pres ent reigning family, the senior representative of the royal houses of Tudor and Plantagenet. HALE A MILLION FROM TILLS. James Morison, “the hygeist,” who died in 1810, made half a million by the sale of vegeta ble pills. According to Mr. Grant (History of the Newspaper Press,) Holloway; the in ventor of tho celebrated pills and ointment which bears his name, has amassed a fortune of from one and a half to two millions, and intends following in tho footsteps of Mr. Peabody. Piano-forle making would also seem to be a profitable business, since Mr. Thomas Broadwood, who died in 18G2, left £350,000 personalty. William Joseph Deni son, the banker, left ono of the greatest for tunes of modern times—namely, two and a half millions, in 1840. When Coutts, tbe banker, died, in 1821, he left his wife (for merly Harriet Mellon, the actress) £600,000, as well as estate to a large amount One in stance out of many will suffice to show the good use bis granddaughter, the present Bar oness Burdctt Coutts, 1ms made of this wealth; at a cost of £50,000 she endowed the colo nial bishopries of Adelaide and British Colum bia. The Earl of Bridgewater, who died in 1813, left property amounting to about £2,- 000,000 to the then Lord Alford, on condition that if he should dio without having attained the rank of marqnis or duke, tho property was to go to his brother. But the question was raised, when Lord Alford died without having assumed these dignities, whether his son was not entitled to the property; and the House of Lords decided that tho condition was contrary to the principles of the English Constitution, and Lord Alford’s son was con firmed in the title. Another will, which was TIIF. SUBJECT OF MUCH LITIOATION, was that of Mr. Peter Thelnsson, who died in laondon in July, 1797. After leaving his wife €100,000, the residue (about £600,000) he committed to the care of trustees, to accumu late during the Jives of his sons and their sons, to bo divided, when they were all dead, among their survivors. It was believed that the property would then amount to £18,000,- 000 or £19,000,000. But legal and other ex penses prevented this, and when divided, in 1856, little more than the original sum was divided among the three survivors, (Book of Days, ii. 97). Bnt wealth has gone on accu mulating in England to an enormous extent, and the proving of tho personalty of wills al low! us to realize this pretty accurately. Mr. Gladstone was no donbt right when said at Liverpool College, December 22,1872: “More wealth has in this little island of ours been accumulated since tbe commencement of the present century—that is, within tho lifetime of many who are still among as—than in all the preceding ages, from the time, say, of Ju lius Ciesar; and again at least as much of wealth within the Inst twenty years as within the preceding fifty.“ The Spectator, November 16, 1872, pub lishes a list containing an account of THE FORTUNES EXCEEDING A QUARTER OF MIL LION PERSONALTY during the last ten years. From this list appears that during the decade ten persons left more than a million, fifty-three more than half a million, and one hundred and sixty- one more than a quarter of a million sterling. It must be remembered that these fortunes do not include landed investments. There arc a few examples of GREAT FORTUNES MADE BY KISERS, who often denied themselves the necessaries of life in order that they might leave a large sum behind them. Such a man was James Wood, of Gloucester, who died in 1836, pos sensed of property sworn under £900,000. A will was found in which be left all his proper ty to Alderman Wood, of London, his attorney and two clerks. But a short time after a codicil to tbe will was sent in anony mously, bequeathing various large sums to different individuals. It was accompanied with this extraordinary memorandom: “The inclosed is a paper saved out of many burned by parties I could hang. They pretend it is not J. Wood’s hand; many will swear ito it. They want to swindle me. Lei the rest know. ” The writer was never discovered; and now came litigation, which lasted four years. Sir BUSINESS COLLEGES. comer Broad and Alabama streets, Atlanta, Ga.
