The numerous admirers of this accomplished,
beautiful and promising young actress, in this city
will be pleased to zee the following handsome tribute
to her talents:
MISS JONES--On Monday evening last, Miss
Avonis Jones, young lady scarcely eighteen years
Of age, and who has not yet played forty nights III
her life, appeared for the first time before Chicago
audience, at North's National Theatre. Young,
beautiful highly educated and accomplished and the
daughter of mother who herself holds no mean
rank upon the stage, she had already golden
opinions from the Boston press, some Of which we
published on Sunday morning. From these criticisms,
and from the position which her mother holds upon
the stage, were led 10 expect from Mss Jones
something than the acting OF mere novice
We have not been disappointed; We have not been
hasty in forming our opinion OF Miss Jones and we
have no hesitation in now saying that she has before
her every prospect of most brilliant future. She
certainly Possesses every element requisite in al &C

profession and of how few aspirants tor histronic

We have been more than pleased with the acting OF
Miss Jones' Although go young, she has evidently
studied hard, and sne enters into the spirit o nef
characters as completely as an old stager. She hn'
faults but they are the faults of youth and inexperi

On the arrival Of the party at Santa Rosa, on the
Napo river. Prof. Moore brought charge against
Prof Francis Of having deceived bin IN point OF his

EQUALITY OF WHITES AND NEGROES
In Iowa, in submitting the constitution, the question
Of equality Of whites and negroes to political prl

whole vote Of the State was against the assumed
equality. After all the pretenc.s of blsck..epubli
canlsr in favor Of negro equality, nearly the whole
party voted against il. Few tnen in Iowa were founr
voluntarily Ia vote themselves the equals Of negroes
When brought Ia the test their negro profession
