PAUL JONĖS.
THE FATHER OF TILL AMERICAN NAVY, The passteore of the American Ambassa der in Paris, and the fond imaginings of the American ramautie public, have gained their ent, and it is officially announced that the authentic remains of John Paul Jones, the ocean free-lance, "Father of the American Navy have been discovered in the abscure Paris Protestant cemetery, where they were deposited in 1791. Congress has appropriated £7,000 for the expenses of exhumation and transfer on an-American warship to
& new grave in a new hemisphere.

He has had to wait a hundred years for his apotheosis, but it has come at last, as he, with his magnificent audacity-blend of Napoleon and Dismell as he was-prophesied it would.
Barn the son of John Paul, a Scotch gard- ener, at Kirkbean, on the Solway, it must be adinited that he travelled a long way on that road to glory of which he was always talking. Cabin-boy, sailor, alaver, smugglor, captain in the American navy, captain in the French.
navy, admiral in the Russian navy, he was, perhaps, the most gorgenus adventurer of his Axe.
"John Paul Jones was a human firework. He flared across two continents and suddenly went our, at the age of forty-five. "If this man had lived" (said Napulenn ten years afterwards), "France would have had an admiral." But he would never have been apoleon's admiral. They are too much alike in origin and cha racter ever to have coalesced.
The incongruities in this Sentchman's char racter were endless.e was," says Prof, Laughton, the oaval student: "A man of du tinglushed talent and originality; a thorough sem, and of the must determined and tena. cious courage. On the other hand, his vanity was excessive, his life was sent in a never ending series of squabbles, all more or less dis- creditable, with his subordinates, with his equals, with his superiors."
And the ama authority sums him up as Avain, greedy, and selfish."
Probably no really first-rate man ever was so vain as Paul Jones. He was vain of his sca.. manship and courage, and he had good reason for it; he was vain of his honour, and he had none, he was vain of his success with women, which wis great; and he was vain of his talent in vese, wirich was small. He fascinated oil the women and quantested with all the men,

suinptive, and not one of them was in the service in the 7th day of Dec, 1775, when No. 18 was appointeil senior lieutenant of the navy,"
And that was his tone throughout,"
A great many heroes in times of stress have proved to be merely planctors; in Jones's Case the play-acior behaved like a hero. He
acted on the deck of the Bonhomine Richard
off Flamborough Head in September, 1779,
just as the sailor hero of a melodrama would
act on the boards. He was fighting a King's
ship, the Serapis, with he vier guns, which
were knocking his rotten old converted, East Indiaman into splinters.

His scratch crew did not contain more than one-fifth native-born Americans; The rest were English, Irish, French, Portuguese, Swedes, and neuroes. The Dexhomnic Richard's |

Jones has an answer that would have fitted T. P. Cooke: "I'm only just beginning to fight,"
The quartermaster, in a panic, releases all the English prisoners from the hold. They. could have laten the ship, but are so dazed that when Jones, with superb impudence, pr ders them to start phoning they obey him. Then when the vessels have been each reduced to their last gasp the Serapie surrenders, and Paul Jones has won the greatest victory of his
life,
Flis losses were as great as his antagonist's: his vessel was so badly injured that she rank next day. It was the subtline audacity of the master-mind which alone won that sea-fight. As Capt. A. T. Mahan, the Americ in naval Authority, says: The victory was wholly and solely due to the immovable courage of Innes, The Bonhomine Richard was beaten more than once, but the spirit of jones could not be
overcome."
Yet the hero is so ingrained a play.uctor that we find him not long after assisting in a the atrical representation of the capture of the Serapis on the deck of a French man-of-war. Under a pink silk awning Jones reclined, sur rounded by Parisian society wonier, while sailors discharged, fireworks at perfidious Atbian.
There was something about this rough, perky, vain, vulgar, daring sailor which Intrigued the faded palates of Paris society under the dying "ancien regime" as an olive does that of the modera opi. cure. His correspondence with Mile. Aimée Adèle de Tellison (a natural daughter of Louis XV.) is couched in terms which leave no doubt of the relation between them. In May, 1780, she writes to L'Orient that she under slands jones and his crew are without pay. She has diamonds which can be converted into money, and in the name of the love with which she is consumed begs him to accept of her assistance.
The Countess de Lavendahl drew his pic ture, on which a lady diarist of the day re marks: "Since he received it, he says he is like a second Narcissus in love with his own resemblance; to be sure, he is the most Agreeable sex-woll o te would wish to meet."
In England he was called, most unjustly, Paul Jones the Pirate" but when he came here in 1791 he was received at Lansdowne House, and presented to the Prince of Wales, who was then coquetting with the Whigs. He walked on 'Change, and swapped compliment with the merchants whom he had plundered during his career as a comme ce destroyer, and be participated sufficiently in the tastes of palito society to be present to a Men dosa, the Jow, ight on Wormwood Scrubbs.
Probably he enjoyed it, for though Paul Jones had not the physique of the pugilist he had the temperamant per excellence. His reckless daring, his thirst for glory, and his ap petite for money made him unique among the sons of men.

Shipping Report
Str. Hector from Singapore-Light NE, to E, winds, and fine.
Str. Paoling from Shanghai-Light variable winds, and fine weather to arrival.
Str. Yuantang from Manila-Calm and tight variable winds, fine clear weather, sea smooth.
Str. Machew from Bangkok:Very fine wea- ther throughout, light Sly winds, moderate
and calm seas.
Yet he had his black days, and the Chevalier Ponglibaud tell a funny story of the heroic Str. Changria from Australian Ports-Syd- Jones rushing into his rooms at Brest, implorney to Brisbane light variable breezes, fine and ing sanctuary. A mad French captain, one clear weather, nooth sea; thence to Thursday Landais, whom he had charged with treachery And cowardice, had challenged him to a duel with threats to run him through. Ar Jones kasy nothing about rapiers, and a gread deal about cutlasses, he was flying for his life be- fore the furious Frenchman.
He called himself a "citizen of the world, and he proved it by specially selecting that part of the world in which he was born for plunder and rapine, and by 4ghting for any cause that would hire bin sword Pro Laugh ton remarks that America voted him after the capture of the Serapis a gold medal, and France a diamond sword, and neither of them ayer employed hiņi again."
Island light to moderate y breezes, cloudy showery weather, smooth sea; thence to Ma- nila light to moderate variable breezes fine and clear weather, and smooth sea throughout thence to part light variable breezes, fine and clear weather, until approaching the China coast, cloudy weather, smooth sea throughout.
