termite Ameag other places he went to the
Jut Tuella house.. and, ascertaining that the
governor wan E. German with ti urine very
ismiliar to him, he sought au interview and.
was admitted. When he entered he said to
him; "Is not your name William—, and

fie did, and I remember you very well ;
your name is Astor," repled the financial
magnate.
This led to long.telk over old school

with him and asked if there was auythingg
bo could do for him. Ho said no, ho needed
'neither cash nor credit. Tho governor prone
ed him to tnentton what present would bo
aocepteble. Attar again declined hia friend's
offer. Finally, two days before he nailed,
Mr. Astor call ed to bid the governor good -
by, and was handed two papers with the
quiet remark: "Thoso may bo of asp to
you." Ono of the'paper8 was a Canton price
current, the other .a handsomely ongrceaod'
parchment authorizing the ship that bore it
tetrado freely and without moleatation at
any of the ports monopolized by the East
India company. This wag the origin of
John Jacob Aator'a aplended commercial
traaaactiona with China, which he continu-
ed with immense profit for seventeen years.
His first ship nailed for the East in the year
1800 and his share of the profits amounted
to $55,000. On the outward voyage the ship
touched at the Sandwich Iolanda to take in
water, fire -wood and fresh provisions. When
the veaeel arrived at Canton a mandarin
came on board and noticing the firewood
asked the price of it. The captain Ianghed
at the question, bat the mandarin said he
wanted to buy it, and offered $500 a ton for
it. He bought all the " fire -wood " at that
price. It was sandalwood. For nearly
twenty years Aator enjoyed the monopoly of
the lucrative sandalwood trade.
As the Chinese trade developed enter-
prise increased. His vessels were sent to
Oregon to purchase fors, which were ob-
tained in great abundance and at low prices ;
thence they were taken to Canton and sold
at great profit, and the money invested in
teas which were brought back to New York,
where his money was again doubled. Astor
made by the spiculations four times as
much as the regular tea merchant in the
moat prosperous days of the trade. The
grandest commercial enterprise ever under-
taken by an American was Astoi s attempt
to establish the tradingpost of Astoria on
the Pacific ooaet. It failed, hat not from
any want of foresight on the part of its
founders, but because the war of 1812 pre-
vented the government frons sending an
armed vessel to protect the infant.settle-
ment.
"Bat for that war," Mr. Astor used to say,
" I would have been the riahost n an that
