official and the intimate associate of
distinguished public men. He was born
in Dovvuingtown, Chester county, Pa.,
Nov. 20, 1841. The family moved to
Philadelphia and he was educated in
the public schools of that city. Later
he went to New Orleans, where an
uncle lived, and continued h:s school
work in the New Orleans High school.
Returning to Philadelphia he secured a
place on the Philadelphia Press in IS.jT
as copy boy and irom this dated his
newspaper work. When John W. For
ney came to Washington in 18.01 to he.
come secretary of the senate, he brought
along Young, who by that time had be
come a fluent writer.
A Graphic War Correspondent.
While acting as Colonel Forney’s pri
vate secretary, Jlr Young continued
his writings to the Philadelphia Press
aud it was by his description of tho first
battle of Bull Run that ho won his spurs
as a graphic war correspondent. He
followed the army of the Potomac to
the end of the Chickahominy campaign.
In 18<>4 he accompanied General Na
thaniel P. Banks ou the Red River ex
pedition. On returning he became man
aging editor of the Philadelphia Press,
which he resigned in 1855 to start The
Morning Post, which, however, was not
a success.
He had conhjibnterl to the New York
Tribune and his pleasing style attracted

Gone Dowi With All Hands.
Washington, Jan 17.—Treasury ofii-
rials today expr ssed the opinion that
the naptha launch Paul Jones, now be-
ing.seurched for in Mississippi waters,
is at the bottom of the gulf, or river,
with all ou board, though a diligent
search is being made by the government
authorities for trace of the party.
The revenue cutter Winona is now
musing about the island waters iu the
hope of finding sou a sign of the launch,
but no word has yet come from her and
unless some trace is found she is likely
to continue tho search for a week.
There is a strung disposition among

his pistol against young Sawyer’s

The difliculty between Mr. Knowles ;
and Mr. Underwood grew out of an edi- :
! torinl in The Tribune criticizing the
city attorney for his opinion on the le
gality of the raise in the clerk’s salary, j
Mr. Underwood wont to The Tribune ;
office and demanded that Mr. Knowles !
retract the editorial. The latter refused. \
Mr. Underwood then called Mr. Knowles i
a liar, and the editor struck ;he city at j
torney several times in the face and on |
the head with his fist. A diamond ring J

It she had kept to an inland course it
is believed she would have been noticed,
though she might take some unfre
quented passage in threading her way
through the many water courses. The
theory of the explosion of her naptha

said that in case everything had been
stowed below it is possible no vestige
of the wreck may be found.

tho attention of Horace Greei.y, With the
result that iu Ub'iO Yoang became mam
aging editor of the paper with which
Greely had been so long associated. Ac
that time Young was only 25 years old.
His lersure time he devoted to the study
of law, and in 1807 was admitted to the
bar in New York city. In 1S70 he again
tried the establishment of a newspaper
of Ins own, this time Tho Standard.
About this time, however, Secretary
Boutwell, who was at the bead ot tho
treasury department in President
Grant’s cabinet, induced Mr. Young to
go abroad to look into financial affairs. ‘
While abroad on this mission the awful j
days of the Paris commune occurred
aud Mr. Young’s account of the rise and
fall of tho commune and of tho stirring
days through win-h the French capitdl
passed is regarded as one of the best ex
am pies of English descriptive writing.
In I s ?:.' he became the European rep
resentative of the New York Herald and
spent two years in London and Parts
ami another year iu work aud travel cu
the continent.
On Grant’s IHcinnruble Trip.
In 1877 General Grant started upon
Iris memorable trip around the world
and on his invitation Mr. YAung joined
the party. This made him for two years
almost u member of the family of the
great general, luid a warm friendship
sprung up between them. Afterward
Mr. Yonng wrote "Around the World
With General Grant.”
During this trip Mr. Young was

country President Arthur sent him in
1882 as United States minister. Hoie-
mained in China until the ripening £
tho ly stCloveland administration, when
he returned to this country and engaged
in literary aud business pursuits.
When the new' library of congress
was completed attention was directed
to the choice of a librarian embodying
literary ability and executive manage
ment and President McKinley named
Mr. Young on July 1, 18:J7. He entered
upon his duties while the library was

tol and saw it expand into the classic
temple of the arts and literature which
it now occupies. The transition in
volved not only a removal ol vast stop .?
of precious volumes, but the complete
reorganization of the library stutf. Mr.
Young directed all of this, making the
change from tho old to tha new with
smoothness. His time has been spent
in part in a contribution to lileratme
which he had hoped to complete as the
chief literary achievement of his life.
