The singular mistakes that the innocent
continentals make about the standing Of
John Mackay are amusing. They fail to
understand how a man of his wealth does
not possess q title, and is not q Milford or
q San Francisco duke. An item in the
Continental Gazette illustrates this. Mr..
and Mrs. J. W. Mackay, while on their
recent tou through Northern Europe,
stopped for some days at the Hague. The
landlord of the hotel at which they were
staying asked Mr.. Mackay's servant one
day II his master was q king in his own
country. The man assured his questioner
in great amusement that Mr.. and Mrs.
Mackay were simply citizens of the United
States, and that no kings or queens were
known in America. The honest Dutch
man. however, persisted in his belief and
the next day ent to the papers an account
Of the arrival at his hotel Of Mr.. and Mrs.
John W. Mackay. the King and Queen Of
the Bonanza Mountains Of California.

read the sheriffs sales. He was arrested
and fined eight dollars for going hunting
on Sunday; and he paid three hundred
dollars for lot of forged notes that had
been advertised three weeks and the pub
lie cautioned not to negotiate them. He
then paid a big Irishman, with foot like
