Young America Pierced.

For some months past, says the Harrisburg
Union. the Democratic Review, wish the aid of
few other prints ana Congress orators, have
been karpooning the ..Old Fogies" at terrible
rate. by way of annihilating them all at the
National Convention, and placing in the white
house their youthful idol. Our veteran states
men, who had grown grey in the service oftheir
country and had their judgments ripened by
long experience, were denounced as miserable
old Fogies who needed the milk bottle held to
their lips to afford them proper nourishment-
they were represented as being useless in both
the field and the cabinet, and after a certain age
were to be carried to theirpolitical funeral pile
and the wisdom that they had stored up by long
study sunk into the grave with them. Young
America, fresh, ardent and vigorous, was to be
elevated, and old fOgyism trodden into the dust.
The cohorts of Young America repaired to
Baltimore, they enlisted the sympathies, the
passions and the cupidiry ofthe young delegates
IN the Convention, they bargained in the secret
chambers, clamored in the public bar rooms,
and pulled the wires in the Convention, to lay
out cold their old Fogy opponents and elevate
their champion.
1t so happened, however, that there were
few Fogies in the Virginia line embued with
Come little of the wisdom of the Fogies of old,
and when they saw young Absalem struggling
In the meshes set for him, they PIERCED him

to all who might come after, of the folly of

Our innte.

rHow much tender fugitive poetry, the OF
snring of genuine feeling, circulates uncialme'
IN the American newspapers. Here, for exam
ple, is beautiful effusion, fresh from the p"r
fountain of mothers heart, upon the death o
"Our Minnie" which would do no diseredit t.
any living poet;I
40 Close with reverent care those eyes;
Their meek and sorrowing light hath fled;
No trembling CLEAN through mists of tears
From those diumed orbs Will more be shed.
Draw down the thin and azure nd:
No look of mute, appealing pain,
No piercing anguished gaze on Heaven,
Will strike through those blue depths again.
Now gently smooth her soft brown hair;
Shred not those glossy braids away,
But part the bright locks round her brow,
As sweetly in her life they lay.
Press one soft kiss on those soft lips:
They thrill not now like fiickerine flame;
THEY'LL ne'er unclose, in troubled dreams,
To breathe again that cherished name.
But press them softly; still and cold,
They part not with the sleeper's breath:
Fear thou to break the softened seal
Left by the kindly touch of DEATH?
Wrap the white shroud about her breast:
No trembling throb shall stir its fold;
No wild emotions wake TO life,
Within that bosom snowy cold
"Fod tenderly her fair young hands:
The heart beneath in stiffness lies;
THEY'LL never strive with tightened clasp,
Again to hush its anguished cries.
80! fierce but brief the storF4 that swept
The bloom from this pale sleepers brow;
And keen the pang that rent apart
The bosom calmly shrouded now"

after Prince John with a very sharp
stick. The following view OF the
Willis and Van Buren difficulty, is
held by all persons al all acquainted
with the facts OF the case, says the
Journal:
"Mr. Willis proposed 10 Mr.. Van
Buren in such language as he could
use without exposing himself TO the
penalties OF the New York statutes
in regard to duels, challenges. &C.,
first meeting at Charleston, and
afterwards a meeting al Baltimore.
but Mr.. Van Buren was not to be
had. We censure no man for de-
clining to fight duel If he declines
on principle-on the contrary we
applaud all who thus act; but it is
perfectly obvious that John Van
Buren acted in this case not from
principle but from personal cowar-
dice. In his speech in the Forrest
case he Travelled out Of his way 10
insult Mr.. Willis, and taunted him
with having sued the bIackgnard
Forrest for a brutal assault and bat
terry instead OF demanding gentle
manly satisfaction. He thus set
himself up before the world as one
who recognized the code of honor
and who had no respect for men
who sought any less bloody mode Of
avenging personal wrongs. But, no
sooner was the word hero brought
10 the test than he proved recreant
10 his own code, refusing repeated
invitations TO meet gentleman, his
own superior in talent, genius, social
position, and fame. We do not
know when we have seen the wind
let out of bladder more thoroughly.
We disaPprove dueling. but there is
on earth we more utterly
despise than a fellow who sets him
self up as a dueIist--and isn't one.

NEwpoRT.-The Newport News
says: A Baltimore gentleman en-
gagged the Germaaia Society, Mons
day night, and gave splendid Sere-
nades 10 several ladies, among whom
was the belle OF the Ocean House.
On Monday evening a warrant
was served on Mr.. Copeland, OF the
United States Hotel, on complaint
OF Robert Seaile. for an alleged
violation of the Maine Law; at the
Court Of Justices yesterday, the case
was continued until a week from TO-
day. Four men came doxn from
Providence as witnesses; after The
adjournment Of the Court, these
men paraded down the street, and
when in the vicinity OF Bannister's S
wharf they were saluted with any
quantity Of rotten eggs, so that they
presented quite variegated appear
ance. One OF them drew a pistol
and aimed il at gentleman who
was near him-they soon after
went up the street and all was quiet
again.
Since the above was written we
learn that four spies from Provi>
dence, who came here as witnesses,
were arrested on a warrant yester-
day, for attempting to fire a pistol,
and also for being concerned in
creating a row, and violating the
peace and dignity Of the Stale.

OCEAN HOUSE, Newport, Aug. 3, 1892.
OuTRAGEoUs ATTACK UPON A
SourHERNER MoB-HUNDREDs
OF SoUrHERNERs LEAvIsG.-This
usually quiet village was this morn
ing full of excitement, occasioned
bY an attack Of walters upon the
person of E. M. Yerger, ESQ.,, a
young planter from the South. The
circumstances are as follows: On
Sunday, at dinner, Mr.. Yerger was
helping some lady friends TO dish,
when waiter attempted 10 take it
from his hands. He very promptly
and properly raised the case-knIie
which he held, and struck the
walters face. The waiter was
taken from the room, and dinner
went on as usual. The next morn
ing, Mr.. Yerger went TO breakfast,
aud being seated, discovered move
ment among the walters, and, having
armed himself in anticipation Of an
attack, he prepared for seli-delence.
He held a pistol in each hand, and
as the mob advanced he told them
that he would kill the first man who
came within five feet. By this
threat | believe his life was saved,
for none Of them dared 10 overstep
the mark.
The cry OF "Southrons" was im>
mediately made, whereupon Col.
Christy, Of Kentucky, Lieut.. Nelson,
of the navy, Mr.. Pollard, OF Ala
bama, and many other friends OF
Mr.. Y. came to the rescue. The
mob was kept at bay by Yerger's
pistols until he was surrounded by
his friends; he was thus deprived of
the use OF his arms, and the mob
closed upon him. A pistol was
wrenched from his right hand. The
guard tearing his finger severely
The waiter, who got possession OF
the pistol, made several attempts to
fire upon Mr. Yerger, but was pre-
vented from fear Of killing some one
of his accomplices. Mr.. Yerger
was taken from the room BY bis
friends, Ut ct armiS, and the walters
were expelled bv the remaining
Southerners. They gathered, how
ever, in another part Of the house,
and being in number about a hun
dred, created grea; CONSERVATION
among the ladies. Mr.. Yerger was
compelled to leave the place by
advice OF his friends, about fifty of
whom accompanied him. Many !
are sill preparing TO
leave. Mr.. Weaver did all he could
10 arrest the movement, but being a
man OF not much decision, he Of |
course failed. | must say that If
guests are to be thus treated whilst
visiting Newport for their health
and pleasure, it would be wise for
them to remain at home. | under.
stand the mob have threatened the
lives Of Col. Christy and Lieut.. Mel
son, who were warm personal friends
of Mr.. Y, and stood By him in the
midst of the difficulty. Several
walters were knocked down whilst
attempting 10 follow Mr.. Yerger 10
his room.
