Yesterday: Yes knew Clarence King for years

the news Of his untimely death has cast a shado"
across this Christmastide. There was no one else

often said OF Lawrence Olphant, that he might 90
or be whatsoever he chose: but he was even more
various and brilliant than Olphant, and. notwfth-
standing his delightful genius for paradox, far
more logical and steadfast. His literary style,
though he rarely had the leisure for writing. was

ROST4ND'S NEW CAROLS.
THE FRENCH POET HAS WRITTEN THREE
MORE ON THE SOUTH AFRICAN con-
CENTRATIoN CAMPS.

CCopyrt-it: 1901: Ey The New-York Tr:bune)
IBY CABLE TO THE 1RIBuNEl
Paris, Dec. 26.-Edmond Rostand has written
three new carols. which were recited Tuesday
afternoon by Nine. Rostand at small informal
Christmas tree reception where the poets little
children were among the guests. All three bal
lads refer TO the concentration camps. The first
carol. suggested by the perusal OF children S
holiday books describes the poets painful emo
tions at finding the bright water colors that char
acterized the joyous albums OF yore, represent
ing children dancing merry -go-rounds in apple
orchards, replaced by black etchings Of aban-
doned naked children perishing on dunghills.
Each of the four ottawa stanzas ends with the
words. But Kate Greenaway is dead"
Another ballad enjoins French children to
send toys 10 the little ones down yonder, whose
puny bodies arc covered with wounds and sores,
sc that the little Boer infants may at least die
jcyfully. holdIng dolls and playthings IN their
hands. Each ten-line stanza Of this carol ter
inmates with the words Good old Santa Claus
who resembles Kriiger.'
The third ballad is a glorification Of Miss Hob
house and opens with the disqusitOn. "A noble
people whose sense of justice is unhinged by
whirIwinds of Infamous lies belittles and SLAM
ders itself by tranlpng underfoot violated
rights but one rejoces to see the pride of the
nations orifanme seeking refuge in a woman's
heart" Miss Hobhouse is described as with a
brow encircled by a halo of glory, proceeding
to the tragic concentration camps, the barbed
wires Of which lacerate her hands and tear
asunder her soul. Each ottawa stanza of this
carol closes with the words, Miss H0bhouse Is
a heart of delight" The ballad concludes with
an appeal To "Horrid old Dame Europa slowly
perishing from coldness.' 70 wake up and warm
herself beside Miss Hobhouses generous flame
The Boer committees having these new
ballads printed and distributed in the toy shops
of Paris anG throughout the country.

FROM THE NAIL
MAKES A CORRECTION ABOUT GOV
ERNOR TOMPKINS

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: l should like to correct through your col
umns a wrong done % Governor Daniel I. Tomp-
kins Of this State. Governor Tompkins's name
was included in a list of Tammany men. from
Aaron Burr to William VI. Tweed, who were
charged in the campaign book of the Citizens
Union with having defrauded the city, State OF
nation.
This statement was based on what was consid-
cred reliable authority, but in the rush Of cam
raisn work there was no time verify 1t. now
find trat gross injustice was done TO Governor
Tonpkins's memory, for while he was accused OF
being defaulter the historians Of this state agree
that he pledged his private fortune to maintain
the States credit, and advarfced funds which en-
a6led him TO raise within forty days an army OF
5000 fully equipped. The unjust chargeS
hastened to bring on his death. which time the
government still owed him large sums OF money
for advances made during the War Of 16l2
