nero OF Revolutionary days. who
uled In Paris July Is. 1882 He was
buried there with the highest honur4

addressed letter to Henry Vignaud

John Paul Jones in Paris il known
and marked. He has received a
reply from MIR. Vignaud, sayi"g that
although he has made earnest and
frequent inquiries OF the city author.
lilies III REGARD to the matter, he has
been unable to discover the where
abouts of the grave. One thing
established by his inquiries, however
he says, is that John Paul Jones was
not buried in the cemetery where
the remains OF Lafayette lie, as has
been supposed by some people. In
another quarter 1t is intimate that
owing to a custom prevailing in
Paris, the remains of John Paul
Jones were deposited in a rented
grave tor term of years, and that
upon the expiration of the lease 8
great many years ago, the bones OF
this distinguished American patriot
were thrown into the potter's field.
