Mrs. Mackey.

see by the foreign papers, says
New York gossiper, that there is some
talk in Paris of the marriage of Miss
Mackey, the daughter Of the great
California millionaire, to nobleman
wiio WAS quite distinguished during the
Thiers and MacMahon administrations.
Mrs. Mackey, it is said, will soon leave
Paris, and come to New York to live,
her husband having bought splendid
residence on Fifth avenue, for q half q
million. She'll be missed in Paris, no
doubt, for she has been Lady Boun i
full to good many people, / hear, in
more ways than one.
/ remember an old friend of mine, q
'49.er, once telling me about the Mac
keys, and how they got their start in life,
which led to such big results. Mackey
used to keep small saloon, and dealt
with the commonest kind of custom,
and my friend would frequently see
Mackey's wife about the place. She
was very plainly dressed in those days;
common gingham was good enough;
and as for diamonds! why, you might
as well have talked OF buying the moon
in those days, and it was sometimes
hard lines to make both ends meet.
But the mining excitement came, and
Mackey was lucky enough to be able
to make little venture with Flood,
O'Brien, and some others, who after.
ward "struck it rich" He is now
worth. they say, $4,000, 900 to $4,000.
600, and his wife at recent entertain
ment given abroad, literally blazed with
diamonds. Isuppose when she comes
here she will lead the fashion in New
York society. Sometimes, in the
pauses Of all extravagant frivolity
however, she now doubt finds mo-
ment or two to think of the times
when, in her simple gingham, she used
to help her husband serve the custom
| ers at the little bar in the far west.

striking instance of this party discipline is

might appear that the victims are few,
while the Offices are many, but this is not
the case, as any one familiar with the
workings of the city machine well knows.
The voters at the election should see 10
