ANTHONY TROLLOPE.
ATiseries and IrrItatiOns Incident
Upon His Start In Life.

Upon His Start In Life.
Anthony Trollope's start in life was
unpromising. AS he knew no Ian
guages, ancient or modern, he became
classical usher at school in Brussels,
with the promise of commission in
the Austrian army. Then he was sud
denly transferred to a clerkship in the
London postofice. He was disqualified
for the new position by general igno-
rance and special incapacity for the
simplest arithmetic. A vague threat
that he must pass an examination was
forgotten before it was put into execu-
tion, and Trollope characteriStically
takes occasion to denounce the system
of competitive examination by which
he would have been excluded. Mean
while he was turned loose in London
and attempted to live like a gentleman
on 600 q year. The results are indicat-
ed by a couple of anecdotes.
A money lender once advanced him
"A. for which, first and last, he paid
1900. This person, he says, became so
much attached to him as to pay daily
visit to his office and eXhort him to be
punctual. These visits were very ter
rible and can hardly have been of serv-
ice to me in the office" This mild re-
mark applies also to the visits from the
mother Of a young woman in the coun-
try who had fallen in love with him
and to whom he lacked the pluck to
give a decided negative" The mother
used to appear with a basket on her
arm and an immense bonnet upon her
head and inquire in a loud voice be-
fore all his companions, Anthony
Trollope, when are you going to marry
my daughter?"
No wonder that he was miserable
He was hopelessly in debt and often
unable to pay for a dinner. He hated
his work, he says, and he hated his
idleness; he quarreled with his supe
riors, who thought him hopelessly in
capable and felt that he was sinking
ito the lowest pits" At last he hear(
of place in the Irish postoffice which
everybody despised and was successful
on applying for it, because his masters
were glad to get rid of him. At the
same time they informed his new supe
rior that he would probably have to b,
dismissed on the first opportunity
