Jones and reader, We wish you joy OF this new
acquaintance! Many and wonderful have been, 10

Republic, ard many and complimentary have been

struggles and public agones But the Honorable
Sr. GENERAL Jorje W. Jones, to use vulgar and 81
DO means automatically digriied expression, did,
on the 3lst Of August, 'bes. the crowd" Ap-

an exceedingly rics, Dew, and highly gold buttoned
uniform-the Honorable Sr. JoDerL Jo1e W.

articulated in Bogot,, either upon the 3lst OF Au

copy Of that speech After q careful psrussl there
Of we are prepared TO extend to Sr. Jenersl Jorie
W. assurances Of our distinguished considers

know of your eoquence, o gifted, honeytongued
Jorje W Jones For in the difficult art Of dlplo-
matte rhet )ric, we do not know your equal, jones.
How great are you Jones. ia the science of g rub
"bpg it in"-the soap, We mesn, Jones' How
YOU rubbed it Into the Envoy of New-Granada near
the august person Of S. Z. James Buchanan, Pres'-
drntf de los EstGdos URidos-ho~ you pronounced
the said Envoy-the GENERAL Pedro Alcantara Her
ran-to be eexelente (eIcellent), fdciisimo (most
faithful habH (u.eful), disttngado (and dlstln-
gui,hed). o, Jones can do il when be tries. And
be tried. And be did it.
Bnt then it must not be supposed thas Jones
confined himself to the praises Of the Jeoera Pedeo
Alcantara Herran. He also praised the country OF
the GENERAL v hich hsd been favored sin most IS
"tonishipg degree" In gold, silver and iron In
copper, lead, aud other metals In rice. sugarcaue,
IadAn corn cocoa, yucca, Papds Htenderds (otner-
wise called Murphes) aud other delicious fruits.
"Surely, Sir" said Jones, " such 8 country is des-
:" tined by the Almighty to make millions prosper
"ous and happy" "At least" ,ad Mr. Jones'
suddenly recoectias himself, "such is the earnest
wish Of my heart" .
Nor must it be supposed that Jone. confined hi
self to the praises of the favored land to which hs
was accredited. He took p,ins-pstrio.ic pains,
We are willing TO call them-to praise bis own dear
native land frat. Did it in very good style too,
Jones did. Said that we were enlightened. Also
liberal Likewise generous. As We are. AS ell
tho world knew already that are. Still We
thank you for mentioning it, Jones, Senior Jones,
Senior Jorge ". Jones! These little reminders
come pretty frequently from diplomatic lips, but
they are pleasant to the Eagle, and the Eagle hiss
right to be pleased.
Nobody knows either what the Senior Jones has
suffered By his acceptance of this responsible post,
or Corinthian pillar rather let US call it Jones
did not at frst want it, but his family entreased;
bis relatives (includiug his frst second and third
cou,ins) entreated; everybody who knew Jones
entreated. But Jones was memorable. He de-
clined the mission "oraly and in writing" But
+. james Buchanan would not let him 60, or
rather to speak accurately insisted that he should
90. Still, Jones declined. Then came the Family
