Paris, after his great battle the previous
September. On the 28th the Duchesse de
ChartreS gave a luncheon in his honor.
1t was most distinguished party.
AT the table the Duchess said TO Jones:
Commodore, in reading the accounts of
your awful battle l have been amazed at
your perseverance. How could you con-
tlnue the combat with such sang froid
when your ship was sinking and being
also devoured by the flames? | have
thought that anyone else would have
yielded. Tell me, what thought could it
have been that sustained you? What
hope could have nerved you? What senti-
ment animated you in that dreadful Or
deai?''
With profound bow Jones responded
my sole thought, after the honor of my
flag, your Royal Highness, was that sur
render must postpone the rapture of greet
ing you againl"
The comment of the Duchess on this
was: mot Charles lie Temeraire himself
could have laid his helmet at lady's feet
with such knightly grace"
Thus the days and weeks and months
flew by. DIR. Franklin, incessant and in
defatigable, labored with de Sartine, the
Minister OF Marine, but still no ships, no
supplies, no men. Meantime, La Fayette,
returned from America and with him came
the 36-gun frigate Alliance, Just built at
Portsmouth, N. H., and the best ship of
her class afioat.
A syndicate of French capitalists was
formed, headed by lie Ray de Chaumont. to
provide funds for outfits, supplies, ad-
vanceS to men, etc; but still the ships
and the authority to equip them in French
ports and arSenalS awaited the pleasure of
he King.

repress my tears. The Voice of the
Duke himself quiyered with emotion
as he essayed TO reply. But The face of
Commodore Jones was cold blank. pas
sionless. Every drop of bleed had gone
ont OF his thin lips. His dark gray eyes
gazed calmly INTO ours, expressionless as
if OF polished stone. What terrible resoIu-
ton must nave possessed his soul at that
instantP'
A Personal DESCRIPTION.
The personal description which the
Duchess gives of Jones in her Souvenirs
loses much by translation. For the benefit
OF those who can read French | will give
the original; and for those who cannot /
will offer the best translation can make.

About Pension Circulars.

Large numbers of our readers who are in
valid pensioners have lately written US
about the circular letter being sent them
by the Commissioner of Pensions, through
the pension agencies, asking them ques-
tons about their familes-wife's name,
date of marriage, names and ages of chill
dren, etc. We would state that the furnish
ing of this information to the Commissioner
of Pensions is not compulsory, but wholly
voluntary. The declared purpose of the
Commissioner in seeking this information
is the prevention OF possible fraud upon the
Government hereafter.

on the common ground of human natures;
The Duchesse de Charities Being all that
could be of woman, and Paul Jones all
that could be of a man.
In her Souvenirs of the Good King" the
Duchess refers TO the interest she took in
Paul jones and the efforts she made in his
behalf
First in the Charters cottage at Brest,
then in their palace at Versailles, Jones
became a friend en- famille. He was no
mere visitor He was the bosom friend
ard boon companion of his rrincely host
and the pet and protege OF his magnificent
hostess.
Such honors would nave turned the head
of MANY a man. but Paul Jones saw in
them ONLY avenues leading TO the realiza-
ton of his patriotic purposes, the fruition

commands themselves or disliied TO see an
American officer obtain opportunity 10 do
what they could not do; conquer the Eng
lsh al sea with French ships and. for the
most part, French crews This was a
natural feeling on the part OF the French
Captains, and the result OF the first and
only opportunity Of the kind that Jones
got, proved their apprehensions we'll
founded.
AIDED BY THE DUCHESS.
He quickly and clearly saw that as the
influences The French officers brought 10
bear against him were largely social, he
must meet them with other and more
potent social influences; and Of course
the nearer he could get 10 the palace with
those influences the greater his strength
Fortune brought TO his aid the wise
beautiful and accomplished Dcchesse de
Charities. Related to the King both by
blood and by marriage and commencing
herself to him no less by her intellectual
than by her personal charms. the Duchess
was notably the most influential personage
with the King, next 10 the Queen herself.
And so circumspect was her conduct. and
so Tar beyond question her virtue that the
Duchess held The confidence and esteem of
the Queen as completely as that Of the
King
The relations between the Duchesse de
Charities and Paul Jones at this the most
critlcal period OF his career were simply
those OF patroness and protege. The
Duchess was older than he being then SO
and he 80. In her veins coursed the blood
oil the longest line OF Kings and Queens in
Europe; in his the blood of Scottish peas

eedents and their breeding, they still met
