Reader, Jones Jones, reader Jones
and reader, we wish you JOY Of this new
acquaintance Many and wonderful
have been, in foreign parts, the represen-
tatives of our happy Republic, and many
and complimentary have been cur notices
of their tolls, triumphs, tribulations,
struggles and public agonies. But the
Honorable Sr. Jeneral Jorje w. Jones, to
use vulgar and by no means diplomat
ically dignified expression. did, on the
3lst of August, beat the crowd" Ap-
pearing before the .Senor Presiaente-we
trust in an exceedingly rich, new and
highly gold -buttoned uniform-the Hon
orable Sr. Jeneral Jorje w. Jones made
one of the finest speeches ever articula-
ted in Bogota, either upon the 3lst of
August, or any other day. One who
well knows our hearty love Of genuine
eloquence, has sent us copy of that
speech. After careful perusal thereof,
We are prepared to extned to Sr. Jeneral
Jorje w. assurances of our distinguished
consideration. In other words, the SEN
or ). w. is zone of Them" Jones, your
hand !! The world shall know of your
eloquence, 0 gifted, honey -tongued Jor-
je w. Jones For in the difficult art of
diplomatic rhetoric, we Go not know your
equal, Jones How great are you, Jones,
in the science Of rubbing it in''-the

the august person of S. +. James Buchan-
an, Presidente de los Estados Unidos-
how you pronounced the said Envoy
the GENERAL Pedro Alcantara Herran-to
be ercelente EXCELLENT. J. .tfdelisimo (most
faithfully, haba (useful), distinguido
(and distinguished). o, Jones can do
it when he tries. And he tried. And he
did it.
But then it must not be supposed that
Jones confined himself 10 the praises of
the GENERAL Pedro Alcantara Herran. He
also praised the country Of the Jeneral.

tonlshing degree" In gold, silver and
iron. In copper, lead, and other metals.
In rice, sugar cane, Indian corn, cocoa,
yuca, papas Hlenderas (otherwise called
Murphies) and other delicious fruits"
Surely, sir" said Jones, g such coun-
try is destined by the Almighty to make
millions prosperous and happy" i" AT
least" said Mr.. Jones, suddenly recol-
lecting himself, "such is the earnest wish
Of my heart"
Nor must it be supposed that Jones
confined himself to the praises of the
favored land to which he was accredited.
He took pains-patriotic pains, we are
willing to call them--to praise his own
dear native land first. Did it in very
good style, too, Jones did. Said that we
were enlightened. Also liberal. Like
wise generous. As we are. As all the
world knew already that we are. Still
we thank You for mentioning it, Jones,
Senor Jones, Senior Jorge W. Jones =
These little reminders come pretty fire.

at first want it. but his family entreated /;
his relatives Including his first. second

James Buchanan would not let him 90,
or rather, to speak accurately, insisted
that he should GO. Still Jones declined.
Then came the Family Doctor, who said,
with the staff of Esculapius sapiently ap-
piled TO his nasal organ, /" Go, Jones, it
will do you good" The advice of my
physician prevailed" SAYS Jones. 81
