How Baron Hirch made His Money.

♦ Says Truth.— Austrian society lias jeen greatly moved by the Prince of Wales journeying to Moravia to [> iss i week with Baron llirsch. The Baron is the son of a banker in ( Bavaria. He is i.ow ayovMi twon'v Trillions. The foundation of Iris 'oitnne was a rail way contract with ;he Turkish Government. The story < »oes that for each lciloinetre marie tie was to receive a c rtaiu sum. lie made the the sections of the railway aot expensive in enuinor ring- work, j receiving 1 the stipulated price. Then - be explained that lie could not canned them without n g-i-e;itor amount per kilometre being paid. Thesf were the days whou Turkey could , borrow, no ho obtained tho additional price. What between this, and being riaid in bonds a heavy discount, and placing them to an advantage amongst the silly people who b&lieved , in Turkish ritvuice, he realised m my ' million-; by the transaction. Thni he settled in Paris, and took to Stock exchange spe illations, which, owing to his command of money, proved very remunerative. Of late, he has kept his money well in hnnd — bought when otLers are selling, and sold when others are buying Although successful on the Paris Bourse, the Baron was not so successful in getting into Paris society. But into s >nic sort of society he is determined to buy his wny. '< he Boulanger revelations sluw that he subscribed largely tj tho Orleans conspiracy, and tLis has won for him the patronage of some of the Orleans club. Having been blackballed by a Paris Club, be bought a club-house, thus giving the members the chance of receiving him among them or being turned out themselves. Since he has taken up his residence wiih us he has gone on the turf, and has rented huge shootings, which perhaps, is the mirest means fora rich man to make his way socially with English bociety.
