The bones of John Paul Jones will be removed from their obscure burial place in Paris and brought to this country and buried in the National Cemetery at Arlington I he grave was found by the correspondent of the Philadelphia limes after 'two months search, under a little building now used as a laundry. John Paul Jones was an American naval officer, born in Scotland, July 6, 1747, and died in Paris July 18, 1702. He came to this country as an apprentice on a merchant vessel and at the commencement of the Revolution he entered the Colonial service as a lieutenant in the Navy. It is said that he hoisted, on the flagship Alfred, the first American flag ever displayed. It bore the device of a pine tree with a rattle snake coiled at its foot.

He was appointed Cap tain in 1776, receiving commant of the Alfred, and the next year of the Ranger, taking many prizes on the sea. In 1777 he sailed to Europe and harrassed the coast of Scotland, In February, 1770, he was appointed to the command of the Duras and changed its name to "Bon Homme Richard," in honor of Benjamin Franklin. He captured and destroyed twenty-six vessels. His most noted battle was with the Serapis on Sep tember 2nd, 1770. near the Strait of Dover.

Both vessels were in actual contact, firing broadsides into each other with tetrible effect. The Serapis was captured and the Bon Homme Richard sank after all the wounded had been transferred to the Serapis. Captain Jones was received in France with distinguished honors. A sword was presented to him by Louis XVI. In 177 1 he returned to the United States and Congress voted him a gold medal, and Washington sent him highly complimentary letter.

Later he went to Paris as an agent for prize money, and while there he was invited into the Russian service as a Rear Admiral. He subsequently quarreled with the Admiral, the Prince of Nas sau, and by the intrigues of enemies fell into disfavor at court, and retired with a pension that was never paid. He took up his residence in Paris where he died in poverty and neglect. After 107 years he is now to receive the honors due him from this country, and his remains will be brought here and re inteered with the honors of war due to an Admiral of the United States Navy.
