raul Joncs and the rrirnteer.

The French ambassador, the Duo de Vauguyon, committed tho astounding faux pas of suggesting to Paul Jones that he take command of a French pri vateer and thus escape from his danger ous situation in the TeXel. Paul Jones' reply to this was an instant and naughty demand for an apology, which was promptly forthcoming. No man hated privateering and its ''infernal prac- tices," as he calls them, moro cordially than Paul Jones. He wrote of privateers as "licensed robbers, and was natural ly indignant at the affront offered him.
 Some years afterward in a French port ho had an amusing controversy on the subject with Captain TruXton, after ward tho celebrated commodore. Tux ton was then in the humble capacity of captain of private ship bent on plum der. He had the assurance to raise a pennant in tho presence of Paul Jones without asking his permission and in defiance of the act of congress forbid ding a privateer to hoist a pennant un der such circumstances without the per mission of a naval ships commander. They had n tart correspondence, and Commodore Truxton was evidently mightier with the sword than with the pen, as Paul Jones writes of him that there are in his letter "several words do not understand and cannot find in the dictionary" Paul Jones sent him "a polite message" to haul down the pennant. This being disregarded, an- other polite message and Lieutenant Richard Deal with two armed boats were sent, and tho pennant came down. Paul Jones'" by Molly Elliot Sea- well. in Century.

As was OK pccted, New York led in numbers and onco moro broke tho record by having over 25,- GOO people at the Polo grounds.

Boston had holiday for tho start and pro- duCcd a New England holiday crowd of l5, O0a
 Prominent people approved tho sport by their presence, and society was largely rep resented. A feature of this years opening was tho unusual interest shown by tho ex- ccutivcs of tho various cities.

 HOME HAPPENINGs.-It gives us great pleasure to announce that old Sile Davis, tho boar hunter, accidentally shot himself in the foot last week and will bo laid up for several weeks and unable to come to town. As n bear hunter old Sile is great success and deserving of all praise, but as n man h. Is about the toughest, meanest specimen wC ever cncountercd. He has made us moro trouble than all tho bad men combined. He never comes to town with out shooting eight or ten bullets into THE KICKER office, and on several occasions he has wounded people in the city hall while trying to wing the mayor. We have coaxcd, hribcd and threatened, but with out avail, and 1t seems like an act of Providence that he has met with an acci- dent which will keep him holed up in his cave and givc him time for reflection.
