Mrs. Mackey.

L see by the foreign papers, says a
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
who was quite distinguished during the
Theirs and MacMahon administrations.
Mrs. Mackey, it is said, will soon leave
Paris, and come to New York to live,
her husband having bought a splendid
residence on Fifth avenue, for half a.
million. She'll be missed in Paris, no
doubt, for she has been Lady Boun l.
full to a good many people, hear, IN
more ways than one.
| remember an old friend of mine,
'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 a 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 diamondsl 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, S30,000,000 to $40, 600
900, and his wife at a recent entertain
ment given abroad, literally blazed with
diamonds. l suppose 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.

THE Swiss government, which pro
hibited the importation of American
meats soon after the French prohibitory
decree was issued, has, after careful in
quiry and thorough investigation, de-
cIared that no prohibition or compul-

justified or will be required. Now let
France act honestly and follow the ex-
ample of Switzerland.
