A REMINDER OF PAUL JONES'
Cannon Which the American Naval

Residents of Fairhaven, Mass, have
been specially interested in the finding
in Pris of the body of Paul Jones, the
father of the American navy and its
return to this country, says Tue Boston
Globe.
Paul Jones participated in a fight in
Buzzards bay in 1777. He was execu-:

under the command of Ezekial Hop
kins. The Alfred sailed from Delaware
bay February II of that year to cruise
with fleet to intercept English YES

oner. A large quantity of military
stores and 100 cannon were captured.
which were landed at New London "a
days from the date of sailing from Del
aware bay.
A number of these cannon were sent
TO Fairhaven short time later and
mounted at Fort Phoenix. There they
did excellent service in protecting the
town from British fleets. The British,
when they visited the town in 1778,
spiked the guns and rendered them
useless.
The late Capt. Nathaniel Pope Sc
cured one of these guns and fastened

When the late Gen. Fitzhugh Lee
was buried several confederate vet
Grams we're among the civilian escort.
They wore the old uniform, marked
with the insignia of the rank to which
they attained. Lieut.. U. S. Grant, a
grandson of the great general, was adj
jutant of the parade, and from his
horse directed the honorary pall-bear-
ers to their proper places. When he
saw on the collar. of the confederate
uniform of one of these men the cap
.tain's insignia, the, young lieutenant,
in obedience to the military regula-
tons that junior officer dismount be-
fore addressing senior, sprang from
his horse, and on foot directed the
captain where to stand. This is only
one of many signs that the old bitter
ness has disappeared, and that in its
place has come mutual respect that

And, close within my arms, you knew
The depth OF each unspoken thought.
While life for me held only YOU
