 Counselor at Paris
 In 1881 Mariner was made coun. selor of the embassy at Paris. When American Ambassador Walter F. Edge retired in 1883, Mariner be- came charge d'affaires, the young est man since Monroe was minister to Paris in the days before the United States was big enough to en- joy embassy status.
