Several years ago the Rothschilds held a large quantity of cotton in New Orleans, which they instructed their agent in that city to sell when cotton should reach a certain price. The agent, believ ing that the price of cotton would go beyond the figure named by his employers, held on till he was able to sell it at a price which netted forty thousand dollars more than he would liave got for it if he had obeyed his orders from London.

But he wondered great that Sparta was not a walled town, and asked the explanation of its lack of defensive works. No answer was returned that day. Early next morning, however—for the Spartans rose at dawn —the Epirote was awakened and conducted to the field of exercise outside .the city, where the army of Sparta was drawn up in battle array. “ There-,” ' said Lycurgus, “are the walls of Sparta, -and every man is a brick.”
