II. Francis and Col. J. e. Dnnhy, The former,
while Jones was in tho ncsh.-and evcn now, for
tho partnership still exists, although Jones Il in
the "summe.-1and, "-bosc the title Of associate
editor, Col Dundy Was tho manager Of the pnh.
fishing honso, bne has now added 10 hia namo The
tile Of acting editor, and the paper Of March 81
comes forth d1ed with Tho usual advertisements Of
guaeks, Including a two-column one Of Tho
celebrated Mrs. Robtnnon and her maguettxcd

last Sunday. OF Mahsho!d the editor says he has

state OF calm and aure rcpose. Trouble
eccma not 10 come near him. Ho has
cast up his accounts with tho world and struck on
balance In bis favor, although ho docs rather
3ncautoua1J admit that he was not immaculate
fact quito evident from tho revelations Of oue
Pike and his wife. but probably Jones thought he
could Afford 10 unko = confession like this while
he was saying 90 much that was good about him
solf. Perhaps he wrote for tho encouragement Of
others who arc not quits immaculate, but who
hope some day other 10 transmit spirit messages
from the 8ummer-land." I}o this ~ 1t may, It
will be seen that Jones Is not avcrso to pasting
himself on tho back and making out Al good case
