office of Chancellor Of the EX-

Thew We're Book Agents.

A list of eminent men who have
been book agents, says the Phil
adelphia Times, comprises many
authors and statesmen.
George Washington was book
agent and a good one. Prior to the
fateful Braddock expedition he
sold over 200 copies in Fairfax and
adjoining counties in Virginia, of
work on the "American Savage"
Jay Gould, Ralph Waldo Emer-
son and Mark Twain were, in early
life, book canvassers. So, also was
Longfellow, and his success was
remarkable. There is now in pos
session of the Massachusetts his
tOrical society prospectus the
poet used, and on one Of the blank
leaves are the skeleton lines Of the
celebrated poem "EXcelsiOr,"
which he was evidently then incu-
batting.
Daniel Webster paid his secoDC
terms tuition at Dartmouth by
selling books. General Grant al
one time took an agency for
Irving's columbus" Bret Harte
was book agent in California in
FlS49-50. Ex-president Hayes foot
ed it all over Southern Ohio, sell
ing BaXter's "Lives of the Saints"
After the seige of TOulOn Bona
parte, then a young lieutenant en-
ployed at the capital, and too hon
orabIe to duplicate his pay account,
took the agency for the "History
of the Revolution" Bismarck,
Cardinal Mezzolanti, Count Met
ternich, Canning, Lord Denham
and Coleridge, the poet, were all
at some period of their lives, book
agents. So, also, were Nine. de
5tael and Mrs. Jameson, and
Columbus canvassed for a work
on "Marine Explorations"
James q. Blaine began his bus
mess career as canVasser in
Washington county, Pennsyl-
vania, where he sold the "Life of
Henry Clay" Many others whose
names emblazon the pages of his
tory largely owe their success to
the experience obtained while en-
gagged in the laudable and honor
able calling of book agent.
Direct financial gain is often the
least among the objects which
prompt men Of ability to enter the
field as canvassers. There is pro-
badly no other field Of employment
so well adapted to develop an am
bilious young man, rounding out
his character and fitting him for
any emergency in life.
The successful man in profession
al, political or business life is the
man who knows how to read
human character, and as someone
has said: The preacher sees men
at their best; the doctor at their
worst: but the lawyer and the
book agent find them just as they
are"
For some months 1t has been
known almost to certainty tina,
a prominent prince Of Europe i:
now in America in disguise anc
is canvassing for books, that h'
may in this manner learn more o
the real life of American people
Twice has he been identified II
the East, and each time changed
his disguise and his field Of action
for to be known, would entirel.
defeat the object Of his visit.
Lately something has transpire'
which leads to the conclusion tina
this same prince is now selling
books in New Orleans. He ma
also come to San Antonio on hi
way to Mexico.
