OF Mrs. J. w. Mackey, the wife OF one OF the
bonanza kings, a gushing Paris correspond
emit writes: aShe is one OF the most charming
hostesses Of the American colony. Accom-
plished and intellectual (she speaks French
and Spanish as perfectly as. she does Eng
lish), the charms Of her mind would eclipse
those Of her person were, not both thrown
into the shade by the exquisite loneliness and
sweetness Of her noble and elevated nature.
She is very lovely and is still quite young.
Her form is petite and faultlessly. proper
toned, her hair dark and her eyes OF exceed
ing beauty, being large and lustrous, OF dark,
clear blue, shaded with long black lashes
Unspoiled and unspoilable by q position that
would have turned the heads OF ninety-nine
women out Of hundred, she wears Its onerous
dignities as gracefully and with as little
ostentation as she might a fresh plucked
flower. AL! the ridiculous stories that have
appeared respecting her In the papers are
pure invention: She never wanted to illumi,
nate the Arc de Triomphe, for instance, and
never offered to buy it. Gentle gracious
generous and kind-hearted Is she, and the

Conxressional Mortality.

The Springfield Republican says OF oon-
gressional mortality:
No less than seven members of the present
Congress have died-Bogy and Morton OF the
Senate, and Leonard of Louisiana, Quinn Of
New York, WEIGH OF Nebraska, Williams OF
Michigan and Douglass Of Virginia among
the REPRESENTATIVES,. Three members OF the
lower branch have been dangerously sick the
past week-Walker of Virginia, and Thorn
burgh and Riddle of Tennessee, but all are
getting better Riddle has been In poor
health good while, and Of late has got to
worrying SO about the prospect Of dying and
leaving his family In poverty that he Is about
crazy and has been taken home. There is nc
doubt that q seat in the National Capitol *
not the healthiest place in the world, but
plenty Of men promise to be always ready TO
run the risks.

The Marriage Rate Among Nations.

The younger a country Is the more mar

Belgium, 1854; In SWITZERLAND, 1882; and In
