Marshal McMahon.
Marshal McMahon’s soldierly
good nature is not always proof
against the annoyances of court
life and the disputes that arise at
the council board. It is said if a
member of the Cabinet begins a
harrangue, he goes out, slams the
door, and exclaims, “Curse the fel-low,
how he bothers me ! ” His
great passion is for hunting, in
which he excels, and to which he
always betakes himself when mel-anchply.
Madame MacMahon has
the reputation of. being quite chari-table
and clever, though bigoted.
