Mackey, who thirty yean siuce naa a pennilces boy in IrelaudI Twenty years ayo he traveled through tbe United Stair" as a apeculatiye salcsmau, and sixteen years ago he ' wan a bankrupt. To day at the age of forty-five, Sir. Mackey owns threo-, threo-, eightH of tho giel Buunuz, the ricb-cnt ricb-cnt siiv. r mine that has aver been discovered, dis-covered, and ritawB out of Nevada a yearly iacome of 2,750,000, which if the interest at five per eeui. ou a capital of 55,000,000. Though comparisons are odious, it is curious to note thu difference in the in comes of tha four richest men on the earth Tbe duke of Westminster West-minster is werth X16 000,000, and has an income of 800,000; Senator Jonee of Nevada is worth i'U,UiJU,UUU, and has an iucutne of 1,000.000; Rothschild is worth 10,000,000, and has an iucumt uf '2,000.000; and Mr. Mat-key i woith 05,000,000, and has an income ut 2,750,000. Mr. Mackey 'a form tie increases 5 every minute. Tbe question is, what ! will be do with it! Or, perhaps it ! would be more CAiitious to ask, what will it do with him?

Mr. Mackey has a magnificent hotel in Paris, where his family resides, while he passes most of bis titt'e in the neighborhood of his vast interests. Mr and Mrs. Mackey passed tbe summer at Trou-vil'e, Trou-vil'e, in the charming Villa Cordier, which stands on the hill rtbove the town and overlooks the sea. |
