A PRoEEssoR OF BOOKS.

It Emerson who pointed out the need OF pro-
fessor of books at our colleges and universities both
for the benefit of the students and the public at large
In spite of the cogency Of his argument and tho great
desirabity Of the establishment of such chairs, the
project has never been carried out. and the want
which is a very real one, remains untitled
The function of professor Of books whose lectures
might be published for everybodys instruction would
be TO read and tell what to read 1t would he his
duty to sif the wheat from the chaf of both hooks
and old to guide in the labyrinth of the publishers
lists and the catalogues Of the libraries Think what
blessing would be conferred upon all readers II real
" authoritative list made M Of the worlds best
books with brief comprehensive criticism of each.
Something Of this sort attempted some years
ago when the newspapers and magazines took up the
fad Of publishing lists made mp by different prominent
pereons Of the hundred best books celebrities of
varying intellectual characters sir John Tub
book Mr. Gladstone and Mr.. Robert Louis Stevenson
prevailed upon to prepare their little lists But
the best books of the world number far in excess of
ono hundred Besides the innumerable hundred best
book men made up their lists almost without exception
with their personality in the foreground giving us
enumeration of the books which have influenced
nc"
Now while this sort of thing is interesting enough
when the list maker is person OF great Importance
literary or in any other way (n of Hawthornes
biographies there is printed valuable table of the
ing term of years. what the advocate of the profess
sorshr of books wants is a totally different thing.
Readers need complete list of all the worlds best
books. How is one to learn "the best that has been
said and thought in the world" according to Matthew
Arnods oft reiterated definition of culture when there
is no complete guide book to bookland.
What is really necessary is dictionary or rather
an encyclopedia of books Such work could only be
prepared by professors of books many unver-
stiles with the knowledge and the leisure for the task
Such work would tell lis what to read, we'll as by
it's warnings or omissions what not to read. One
would learn from 1t to avoid the works Of Upper and
Youngs Might Thoughts" the novels of Mr.. Richard
Harding Davis ct id omue genus and be put on the
track of good books which many general readers are
apt to miss, like all of Lucians writings Felding's
Jonathan Wild" the Autobiography of Benvenuto
Ceini.' and William Penn's Fruits of Solitude"
The jury of professors for such important verdcts
would have to be carefully selected 1t would have to
be composed of men like Prof Saintsbury Mr.. ed
mund Gosse, Mr. w L. Alden and the late Robert Louis
Stevenson Critics like Mr. Howells Prof Brandet
Matthews and Prof. Harry Thmston Peck would have
to be barred would get in our encyclopedia com
mendation of poetry like that of "ronqu" and prose
like Marie Corellis.

coNEEpERATes IN TEXAS.

From all accounts Dallas has entertained the Con-
federate veterans handsomely The North Texas city
has not enjoyed that privilege exclusively for neigh
boring towns and the whole State Joined in the wei

ring ranks of the most vaorous army that ever trod
the earth.
It was not given Texas to be the scene of great
battles but in every corps and division every field
Texans were engaged and bore themselves proudly
After the war many brave men OF the States beyond
the Mississippi under the ban of the intoleran and
insolent reconstruction regime found refuge here and
have become port and parcel of this matchless com

Southern in sentiment They represent in the best
sense the New Souh-the South that laments not but
looks forward that apologies for nothing but goes
to new undertakings; that treasures its traditions,
but aims to make greater achievements
The Confederates will find here something of the
old Individuality that marked the States of the earlier
day. Texas is commonwealth of peculiar institu
lions and ideals Taking the best from the older au
tonomies she has devised system to meet the
requirements Of her vast and varied interests
She has experienced all the phases of government

That in Colonel Crowders report on the British ship

changed and the Beers buying of us mules and

would not hasten to act? If the Beers had military

with the British that is altogether another affair.
The Of this Partially for the British is two
fold, and the two causes equally dscredltable
In the first place, it is of sympathy with the
bigger dog. The British are hundredfold more nl.
mesous. richer and more powerful than the Beers.
The Beers are such little people that from business
point OF view their friendship is worth nothing U.S.
The British, on the contrary valuable friends.
In the second place. the president is the leader OF
the political party in this country which has gone
astray after strange gods and has up the idol of
Imperialism in Liberty's seat The British are a
heather people, Of the pagan religion The presi-
dent believes that British friendship will strengthen
his hands in establishing their common fetichsm in
this country.
The people OF America have understood this all
