Filial Love.

Is it asking too much to ask
young men to remember that they
can never grow too old to cherish
and express reverence and love for
their mothers. This may not be
fashionable, but it is a mark of gen.
uine manhood. The boy who seeks
to show his independence, and refers
to his father and mother as ''the old
man and old woman" strikes the
gait of the lowest order of manhood,
and is unworthy of all the tender
solicitude which has followed him
during childhood. The love of Gen.
Grant for his mother, and the con.
siderate kindness of the great soldier
for his old father in the childishness
of his old age. is a beautiful illustra-
ton of the principle referred to.
A few days ago General Grant
brought the dead body of his moth
er from his Eastern home to rest by
the side of his old father in West
ern cemetery. 1t gives opportunity
to the paragrapher to mark the
event, for there is no mistaking the
fact that American youth need a les
son in reference to filial love and
veneration for age.
When Grant was a student at
West Point he wrote as follows to
his mother: "Your kind words OF
admonition are ever present with
me. How well do they strengthen
me in every good word and work.
Should / become soldier for my
country, / look forward with hope
to have you spared to share with me
in any advancement / may gain
and trust my future conduct will
prove me worthy of the patriotic in.
straction you and my father have
given me-"
We commend the sentiment tc
our young readers. Don't be afraid
because you have grown to mature
wears to honor father and mother
and to assure them of your continu
ed love. What blessed influence
it would exert if a multitude of tn,
young men of our cities would paus,
long enough in their excitement ant
dissipation to hear the prayers ans
the loved voices that go up for then
at the now silent firesides where they
were once romping boys. The ole
command, Honor thy father ant
mother that thy days may be Ion,
on the earth," is as binding TO-DAY
as ever, and especially so to thi
busy-in-a-hurry-to-get-rich age il
which we live.-Intey-Ocean.

James, which was almost quoted
when it twas opened alresh
by w. II. Foote, deputy revenue
collector, and elliott, when the shoot
ing took place, abo@t one hundred
shots being fired Foote receiving two
slight wounds. Other negroes took
part with shOiguns. Foote remarked
about two minutes before the firing
that this would be like 1873, showing
that the negroes were determined to
kill white men. They had prepared
their guns beforehand and had them
stored in the butcher shop, corner
of Main and Jefferson streets,
where the slaught took place.
Foote, Robert SwartZ and two Others,
all negroes, are in Jail, with y. >.

political feeling in this fight. The

james was shot to death by citizens
this morning. He did the firing,
having two Colts revolvers.

Yazoo City, December "a terrible
tragedy occurred here last night ut 10
O'Clock. John Posey of the firm OF
Williams Il Posey, most estimable
young man and highly connected, was
insuIted by John James, negro
butcher. Going of to see some friends,
Poscy returned to the corner OF Main
and Jefferson streets, where james was
last seen. Without warning, a party
fired upon John Posey, Carnot Posey
and Joseph Nichols, who were riddled
with buclshot and instantly killed,
H.C Elliott was dangerously wounded
and Fritz Holder slightly wounded.
The negroes were organized. One was
arrested.
The city council mt n meeting to-day,
the mayor presiding, resolved, after
Investigation of the causes leading to
the tragedy of yesterday, that the diff
Guilty was the result of II personal alter
cation between Posey and James, and
that the friends of both parties were
drawn into the conflict, but neither
political or race prejudice actuated
either party. Fred james was killed
this morning by citizens while resist
ing arrest, he having first fired three
times.
