How Jones Spends His Money in Washington

The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial writes:
Senator Jones, the man with the
financial idea attached, is creating
quite a splurge in society, and is pos
sibly the most mOneyed man here.
He is living in the house built and
occupied by Secretary Stanton, a
sixty-five foot front, three-story high
brick residence, situated opposite
Franklin Square-one of the many
beautiful gardens in our city. After
Mr.. Stanton's death, Charles Astor
Bristed purchased it. 1t was filled to
repletion with superb furniture and
rare articles of vertu "a among them
exquisite paintings and gracefully
perfect statuary. After the death of
this eccentric genius and kind
hearted man, his widow rented the
house and it's household goods to
Jones. who lives like lord. His
house is filled with guests, who are
received by his sisters. His table is
magnificent, and his wines almost
priceless. His physician has notified
Jones that his Senatorial digestion
cannot long survive the tax imposed
on it every day, and said he must diet
or die, without the eat. Jones is cor
respondingly miserable, and refuses to
be comforted. His stables are filled
with fine horses, and he keeps for his
guests three or four carriages with
drags (not drays), and ph@tons with
out number. He is as generous as he
is rich, and most profuse in that gen.
erosity. 1t is said that his present to
Miss Grant was a check for $4,000,
with the request "that not being
much of lady's man he did not know
what she'd like, and so sent the money
that she might purchase what best
suited her tastes"
