THE GROWING ACT OF MAYOR
JONES' ADMINISTRATION.

We have carefully read tnrougn inc
"Repors of the Mayor Of the city of Vir-
ginia," and to our amazement we find
therein no mention whatever Of the great,
chief act OF the junkman's dynasty. Nc
hint, even. is given Of tho glorious deed
for humanity and "civilization" which
really constitutes q splendid theme for an
illustrated chapter in Jones' Mayoralty
biography! Why was this grand section
in his official career unmentioned in the
report: What false modesty withheld an
account Of the
GREAT PIuTE CORONATION
from the letter press Of the historical doc
umens to which we REFER Shades OF Ag-
gemenon ! before whose day heroic deeds
passed unrecorded: shall the most sublime
spectacle Of Jones rule depart from mem
DRY with the present generation Forbid
it, We Gods! Never! Unworthy and
inadequate as we are to attempt to de-
scribe the scene, it shall have, at least, o
brief sketch from our hand. 1t shall live;
it shall be in print, on file, in the archives
Of the State, when Jones last piece Of
scrip shall have moulded in the closet ;
and a future Bancroft for Nevada will
seize upon it as q trophy for his pages
| and the artists Of the twentieth century
shall exhaust their genius in endeavoring
to ftly portray the magnifcence Of the
significance Of the story:
Twas a ~Zephyr-day, in the month Of May,
Glory, glory to old Washoe
| When SANS" high tones, proclaimed that

Glory, glory to old Washoe,

So "sharp" has he become, they say,
Glory, glory to old Washoe,
With Julius Cesar he could play!
