John PAUL JONES

The body of John Paul Jones,
the eminent naval officer of Rev.
dictionary times, has at last been
found. For five years Ambassador
Porter has carried on the search
in Paris and last week his efforts
were crowned with success. A
large force Of hands was engaged
night and day tunneling the old
st. Louis cemetery, and hundreds
of caskets were unearthed. FL
nally a leaden coffin was discovered
Ahich proved to be the burial cas-
ket of the illustrous seaman. The
body was found to be we'll preserv-
ed, owing to its being immersed
in alcohol.
The body will be brought to the
United States where it will be
given fitting sepulture. Several
towns are putting forth their
claims for the honor of guarding
the precious dust, among them
Fredericksburg, vs., where the
doughty seaman once made his
home.

The Baltimore Sun few days
ago published picture OF Stone
wall Jackson's old home near Wes-
ton, w. Va, where he spent his
life from the age of ten years
(when his parents died) till he
was appointed a cadet at West
Point. The picture represents the
small house in which Jackson's
uncle, Cummins Jackson, lived,
and the old grist mill in which tie
boy worked. The mill was turned
by an old picturesque water-wheel
and the power was furnished by
the west fork of the Monongahela
river. y
1t has been suggested that the
great soldier was living over his
boyhood days in his dreams and
that his memory had strayed back
to the scenes of his childhood,
when, in the delirium following
his fatal illness after he was
wounded at Charlottesville, he
murmured: "Let LIS cross over the
river and rest under thu shade Of
the trees" No doubt he was
thinking of the river and the
forests Of his native county In
stead of the Rappahannock river,
as most people believe.
