The story of the life of Eva Bryant
Mackay, who recently became, by mar
riage with titled Italian, the Princess
of Colonna brings to light some strange
things. Ihave found one of those char
acteristic '49ers who in the days of Miss
county, California. He is Tom Jordan,
one of the gold-pocket hunters whom
Mark Twain so graphically describes.
Said he in recent interview:
''Miss Hungerford, Miss Mackay's
mother, when l first knew her in 1855,
was a very pretty little girl of only u
years, who lived at Goodyear's Bar
with her widowed father, Major
Hungerford He was Louisiana
creole, and spoke French and Spanish
fluently, as did also the child. Miss
Hungerford grew prettier as she became
older, and at length became the acknOwl-
edged belle of the mining town. Offers
of marriage from wealthy miners, store
keepers, lawyers, and men of other call
ing were refused, until one day the girl
met DR.. Bryant dashing young man
of 26, from the neighboring camp of
Downiesville. 1t was a case of mutual
love at first sight. In less than year
they were married. A year later the
Doctor died from blood poisoning, con-
tracted while making an autopsy in the
case of n young woman said to have
been poisoned
Meantime Eva Bryant was born.
DR.. Bryant, who had followed the
Western way of living, left his young
wife and child in very stringent circum-
stances, and purse of 500 was sub
scribed for them, and Mrs. Bryant took
up her residence at Virginia City, then
in the hey-day of its prosperity. There
she met John w. Mackay, who became
the wealthiest of all the bonanza kings.
''lt's strange, isn't it. that little Miss
Hungerford, who used to trot about
barefooted among the rough miners of
Goodyear's Bar, is now the leading and
wealthiest American lady in Paris, and
the fatherless and destitute baby.
Eva, is the Princess of Colonna? And
| a contemporary, who saw it all, and
beheld thousand others go up on the
wings of wealth. am busted miner

a SiciIian Breakfast.

We found at Syracuse another Slclllan
worthy of mention. This is the
Locanda del Sole. We did not under
stand al first why there were no bells
in any part of the dirty house, but we
soon discovered that there was nothing
to be had if we could have rung for it.
1t is very old and not unintcresting sort
of barracks, and Its rambling terraces
give good views of the harbor and of
Etna. The rooms, too, are adorned
with quaint old prints which give it an
old time air. 1t can be fairly said of
its management that the attendance is
as good as the food. | do not know
how long it would take to starve
person to death there. or to disgust
him with victuals so that death would
seem preferable to dining. but we
touched close upon the probable limit
of endurance in five days.
1t was lengthy campaign of a morn
ing to get a simple early breakfast.
1t was a work of time. in the first
place, to find anybody to serve it.
When the one waiter was discovered
and coaxed iuto the diningroom, |
ordered coffee and the usual accom-
paniments. In apout fifteen minutes
he brought in pot of muddy liquid,
and cup. | suggested then, that in
reason spoon ought to go with it. A
spoon was found after some search
sugar also | got by importantly. The
procuring of milk was longer process.
Evidently the goat was hunted up. BY
the time the goat came to terms. the
coffee was cold. then brought up the
subject of bread. That was sent out
for and delivered. Butter also was
called for, not that wanted it or could
eat it when it came, but because butter
is very conventional thing to have
for breakfast. This butter was a sort
of poor cheese gone astray. The last
article to be got was a knife. The
knives were generally very good, or
would have been if they had been
cleaned. BY patience after this, you
could have a red muliet and an egg.
and some sour oranges. All the
oranges in Sicily are sour. The reason
given for this, however, is that all the
good ones are shipped to America.
The reason given in America why all
the Sicily oranges are sour is that the
good ones are kept at home. We left
