Captain WgnaI and His Wife Will De

pointed to succeed Major de Granprey.

his charming young wife, has already
gone to housekeeping at 2034 o street.
To Mime. vignal attaches the distinc-
ton of being the only lady Of the
French embassy in this country, says
the Washington Post. and therefore
upon her will next season devoiye the
discharge of all the social duties Of the
ambassadorial residence. On account
Of the delicacy Of her little daughter.
Nine. Cambon has been advised by her
physicians not to cross the ocean, and
therefore is not to be looked for here
next season, as was at one time thought
probable.
Nine. Vignal Is by nature and educa-
ton well calculated to bear herself to
the satisfaction Of all in this connec-
ton. A pretty young woman. with
light brown hair, showing here and
blue eyes, and a color that comes and
goes as she talks, she has to an ami
mated manner the added charm Of in
nate graciousness. Tall and slender.
with the Frenchwomans Unborn art Of
dressing well, she has because Of her
husbands ample means, opportunity to
crafty her taste in this respect, so that
next season 1t is likely that her tot
lettes will be among the notable ones
of the winters gayeties.
With a pretty foreign pronunciation
of English, her knowledge Of the Ian
guage Is perfect. Capt. Vienal.. on the
contrary, speaks English almost with

After listening to some good part
singing at a farmers outing. "In the
old madrigal days, England was nest
of singing birds. But l had supposed
that the cruel fate which overtakes all
great singers had come to her: / un-
derstood that she had lost her voice. !"
And isn't this good and poetic de-
scription: over all was the rosy
calm, virile bloom of English health.
The bloom looked out at one through
faint mist like rosy child in the
midst Of its bath"

times painting feverishly for days to-

Occasionally he would boast of SELL

two friends over to an impromptu fete,
only to be roundly scolded by Miss
Florence for his extravaganza.

I weep and weep and weep in vain,
Weep all day on the briny main,
And all night long, where the sand birds

Their vigils. I weep and weep and weep.

Through the coral caves where the mer-
maids roam,
And ali but me have the comforts of home.
I weep as l float on the placid sea.
weep where the sweet anemone
Is swayed by the green waves sofn

weep as l watch the bathing bellies
OF the high and low-priced shore hotels.
As they scream at the surf and dig their
toes
In the sands and yell for their gallant
beaux.

Till my tears have made the ocean salt.

told me he had q son and daughter

ture and TO paint great pictures, which
nobody ever saw. He advised me il l

But the old gentleman must have
been willing to run the risk. for six
months later the marriage took place.

TRICKS ON DEPEw.

The American public has an incredi-
BILE appetite for anecdote, which vexes
public men more than the proverbial
want of pence. Before Mr. Choate's
appointment there was some talk of
Chauncey Depew as ambassador. Mr..
Depew has the repute of having made
more jokes after dinner than any other
railroad president of his time. This
brings the inevitable penalty. There
are cynics who say that Mr. Depew re-

tributed some valuable writings to his
government upon army matters.
Capt. Vignal, prior to his appoint
ment to his present position in the dip
lomatic1 corps, has military record Of
which he may feel justly proud, since
1t is because Of this he was selected for
the position Of military attache Of the
embassy, post of vastly more signifi-
canoe than 1t was prior to the late
Spanish-American war.

Inquiry was recently made at the
state department as to the where
abouts of the grave Of John Paul
Jones, the great naval hero of reyolu-
tionary days, who died in Paris July
Is, 1882. He was buried there with the
highest honors by the French govern
ment, but it appears that the present
location of his grave is not known.
The secretary of state recently adj
dressed letter to Henry Vignaud OF
the United States embassy in Paris,
asking whether the grave of John Paul
Jones in Paris is known and marked.
He has received a reply from Mr.. Wig
maud, saying that, although he has
made earnest and frequent inquiries
of the city authorities in regard to the
matter, he has been unable to discover
the whereabouts of the grave. One
thing established by his inquiries, how
ever, 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 it is minated
that owing to a custom prevailing III
Paris, the remains of John Paul Jones
were deposited in rented grave for "a
term of years. and that upon the e8-
piration of the lease, great many
years ago, the bones of this distln-
guished American patriot were thrown
into the potter's field. After reading the
vivid Characterization Of John Pau
Jones which Mr.. Winston Churchill has
put into Richard Carvel," it gives one
almost a shock that the bones of the
brilliant warm hearted little Scotch
man should have found final resting
place among the unknown unheard-o
nultitlldes of Paris. AS the first adj
miral of the United States, every
American patriot will always love the
name of John Paul Jones, but some.
thing more than a twinge of regret
must accompany the recollection thai
his adopted country allowed his bones
10 he scattered in a foreign land.
