The Ex-Clerk Reiterates His Charges -Aagainst Auditor Walker. oo Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 12.— Charles A. Pollock, who preferred charges against Aud- itor Walker, prepared a long state- | ment to-day, in which he declares | that atterthe Thirty-third assembly had adjourned General Walker made him give up monthly $50 of his nominal salary ot This was doneuntil June, 1875, when, Pollock says, he told Foster P. $125. | Wright of Kansas City, Col. A. W. Athony of Morgan county and Gen. H. Clay Ewing ot the matter and was advised to refuse further pay- ments. Later he told John T. Clarke, the auditor’s chief clerk, | refuse futher payments. John M. Oldham, Gen. Jackson L. Smith and the Hon. A. W. Ewing, and was also advised by them to This he did, he says, and Mr. Walker told him to deposit $50in bank each month. Noyember 13, 1SSs, Mr. Walker rturned the amount with- held from Pollock’s pay, In May last, Mr, Walker, so Pol- lock says, proposed to sell him his house for $3,500—$2,000 over its value—taking the monthly payments as part ofthe purchase money. * 'The murder was arrested. **July 8, 1866,’’ Pollock contin- ues, ‘‘Auditor Walker at a meeting of the fund commissioners asserted his innotence ot the charges that rumor hid connected his name with. Decemter 1, 1886, Auditor Walker called Pollock into his office and in avery pleasant way said that cir- cumstames were such by reason of his son’s failure in tarming and his demandupon him for a_ position in his office that he was forced reluct- antly tosay that Pollock’s services would not be required atter the first of the present year, at thesame time offering support for the position of secretaryof the board ot equaliza- tion and saying thathe had hada conference with state treasurer Sei- bert upon the subject. On December 24, Pollock declar- es that he was again called into the office of Auditor Walker when the following dramatic scene occurred: **Charley,’’ said Auditor Walker, *-T wish you would sit down here at my desk and write a statement deny- ing all the ugly rumors afloat about me and makes things smooth, etc.’’ To this Pollock replied: ‘It is im- possible and I will leave your office.”’ In closing Pollock says: ‘‘I am willing to go with the gentlemanand will abide the judgment ot a legisla- tive tribunal, whether it was the tearing off the mask hiding the hypocrisy, avarice and official chs-- honesty which led to my discharge trom the office of the auditor, or the reasons assigned in the card first reterred to.’” Denial From Auditor Walker. State ot Missouri, Auditor’s office City of Jefferson, Jan. 11, 1887.— To the people of Missouri: In yes- terday’s Post-Dispatch and to-day’s Globe-Democrat Iam charged, upon the authority of Charles A. Pollock, whom I was compelled to discharge from my office for drunkenness, inattention to duty and garrulousness with corruptly retaining a portion of his salary. I denounce as unquali- fiedly false every statement in either paper that accuses me of, at any time, corruptly receiving or offering to receive of Charles A. Pollock any sum of money whatever. Respt.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat } has compiled what might be called a classified list ot the distinguished men and women who have n died during the year 1886. RES ¢ There are i mes of men distinguished in politics and statesmanship; of men and women once prominently cone nected with literature in some of its branches: of scientists, theologians, soldiers, musicians, artists, physic. ans and lawyers. One ex-president, Chester <A. Arthur, passed away November 18. Three unsuccessful candidates for the presidency and one for the vice presidency, all distinguished men aside from their candidacy for office, have died within the twelve months. Horatio Seymor, an oracle to his friends, died February 12; Samuel J. Tilden died August 4; Winfield S. Hancock died February 9g, and John A. Logan December 20. Two of these, Hancock and Logan, be- long properly in the list ot distin- guished soldiers, which have also the names ot Hunter,Sibley,Swords, Barney and Schoeff. The widest swath has been mowed through the ranks of men distinguish- ed in politics. Hon. D. R. Atchi- son, ex-United States senator from Missouri, died January 26; Senator Miller, of California, March S; ex- Senator Chaffe, ot Colorado, March g: John Kelley, of New York, June 1; ex-Senator David Davis, June 26; Senator Pike, of New Hamp- shire, October 8 ; ex-Governor Phelps of Missouri, November 20; Charles Francis Adams, November 21; ex-Governor Croswell, of Michigan, December 12; ex-Governor Pitkin, of Colorado, December 18, Then, too, among congressmen deaths have been frequent. Cole, of Maryland; Price, of Wisconsin; Beach, Arnot Dowdney, of New York, have gone the way of all flesh. Prominent among literary men who died within the year were the eminent Shakesperean scholar, Rev. H. N. Hudson, whose death occur- red January 17: John D. Philbrick and George T. Lamgan, who died in February; M. W. Duncker and William Sherer, German historians ; Mary Cecil Hay, Mrs. Lawrence Oliphant, E, P. Whipple and Father Ryan, the poet priest. The list ot distinguished theolo- gians includes Cardinal Jacobini. Archbishop Guibert, otf Paris; Archibald Alexander Hodge, D.D., professor ot didactic and polemical theology in the Princeton Theologic- al seminary; Rev. Isador Kalish, Professor Calvin E. Stowe. Kev. Dr. Sumner Elis, Rev. Dr. John Tulloch, Rev. Dr, Andrew Pollard, Rev. Everts Scudder, Rev. Elias L. Magoon, Rey. Robert B. Canfield, for over a quarter of a century secretary of the American Sunday School Union; Bishop Robertson,of Missouri; Rev. Dr. James Cooper, secretary of the American Baptist Home Missionary society, and Dr. Ermngton, Catholic archbishop’ of London. Of well known composers, Liszt, Muller and Hatton, Ponchielli and Milchert are remembered among the dead. The drama mourns the loss of a number of well known, though not specially famous, actors and actresses John B. Gough, the temperance lecturer; R. M. Hoe, the inventor of the rotary press; August Bren- tano, the famous book seller; H. M. Hoxie, the great railroad manager, Thaddeus Fairbanks, the scale manufacturer, are all dead since January 1, 1886. Except among the politicians and statesmen the list is probably no longer than that which might be compiled at the close of any year, though as one reads over the well known names it seems upon first thought as it the number were unusually large.

How, atthe age ot 16 years the young country girl was lead to write the poem, now so widely known, is thus narrated, as furaished by her personally for publication: ‘The peem was suggested to me by the reading of a story “Love and Ley- alty,’? in April 1867. Iwas then a plain country school girl, not yet 17, residing with my parents .at Leitch- field, Mich., and under a_ pretext of working out mathematical problems with my arithmetic betore me, I wrote the poem roughly on my slate. I was forced to carry on my literary work under these difficulties because of the cpinions of my parents that my time could be better employed , than in ‘idle rhymes,’ urtew in dreams and useless I wrote the first copy on my slate between 4 and 6 o'clock in the afternoon, but since been spent in revising it. much time has correcting and Thad no thought that I would eyer be able to write any- thing worthy of public notice. The poem was first published in the Detroit "Commercia! Advertiser im the fall of 870. The editor upon receipt of my manuscript, at onee wrote me a lengthy letter of congrat- ulation and praise, in which he preJ dicted the popularity for the verses which they have since received. FE had no literary friends, not evena. hterary acquaintance, at that time, and did not know the simplest re- quirements tor preparing my manu- script tor publication.”” The poem. at once attracted popular attention, and bestowed upon its young author a reputation which each succeeding year has enlarged. Although it has been published in innumerable forms and different books and collections, and has been translated into French, German and other languages, the poem has never brought its author any financial remuneration, as is too often the case. ‘It raised me,” ~ writes Mrs. Thorpe, ‘‘from a shy, obscure country girl into public no- tice, and brings to my side yearly hosts of new and delightful friends. Wherever I go my friends are there before me, and the poem, which I gave to the public with no right re- served, while it has made a tortune for others and has dropped golden coins in other pockets, has reserved for its author admiring friends.’” Mrs. Thorpe spends her summers in her native chmate of Michigan, where she yearly recuperates from the effects of a Texan winter. The author 1s 36 years of age, is happily married. and is enabled to quietly enjoy the respect and loye of her neighbors and friends, while her literary admirers are legion.—Brook- lyn Magazine.
