  • Editorial note: This piece is unsigned, as was the case for most of Whitman's journalism. However, this editorial is part of a series of texts that deal with a coherent theme that has been identified by the Whitman Archive journalism team as likely authored by Whitman. This decision is based on a combination of historical and (auto)biographical accounts, similarity to contemporary Whitman writings, a history of scholarly attribution, extant clippings retained by Whitman, computational stylometric analysis, and, in some cases, manuscript evidence in Whitman’s hand.

☞Walt Whitman, author of "Leaves of Grass," who shot up so suddenly into the literary heavens three years ago, and sent "his barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world," seems to be once more rousing himself to speech, and "shoots his voice high and clear over the waves," in the Saturday Press1 of to day with a new and characteristic poem entitled "A Child's Reminiscence."2
