Mark Twain as il Reporter.

When Mark Twain arrived in this
city from tho Sagebrush state. says the
San Francisco Post, he was in his, at
that time, chronic state of impecunios-
ity. He had furnished some correspond.
ence to the GU. and at once made n
RAID on that office for funds for immed
late use and for position on the local
staff. He wore a ragged felt hat, a blue
soldiers oyercoat pants which had
formed q passing acquaintance with the
tops OF his boots, and the latter were
guiltless of knowledge of even the
name of a backing brush. George
Barnes, who was at that time city editor
of the call, told him to come 10 work
the next day, and gave him an order on
the business office for money enough to
make himself look respectable. The
next day Twain took possession of his
chair, and for six weary months Barnes
tried to get some work out of him.
At the end of that time, in his good
natured way, he tried to let Mark down
and out easily and politely, by saying TO
him: Mark. don't you think you are
wasting your time and talents in doing
local work."
What do you mean?" said Mark.
Why, think with your style and
talent you could make more money
writing for first-class magazines than in
such work as you are doing now"
That means That you don't want me

Pollard Gone East.

Judge Chas. r. Pollard passed
through last night on his way to his
home in Delphi, Ind, and from there
will perhaps go on to Washington.
The Judge will not allow his name to
be again presented to the Senate for
any political office, and intimated
strongly last night to a JoURNALITE
that he would soon be found with his
family back within the hospitable bor-
ders of Montana, where he has so
many warm friends, and will
engage in his professional career. In
Bohemian yesterday the members Of
the bar passed resolutions condemn
ing the action of the Senate. When
he went to the depot he was escorted
by a large number Of citizens headed
by the Bozeman cornet band. A tel
agram was received by the Judge
from Senator voorhees,, who said that
the charges against him had been in
vestigated and characterized as false.
His confirmation was then defeated
