NOW IS COMMANDING
FAMOUS REGIMENT
Colonel Patrice de MacMahon
at Head of Crack Thirty
Fifth Infantry.
Ill I. V M.VIUll I-i: Iii: FONTI2XOY.
COLONEL PATRICE (PATRICK)
DE MACMAHON, who lias just
been appointed to the command
of the crack Thirty-fifth Infantry
li<glmcnt at Belfort, Is tho eldest son
of Marshal do MacMahon, who. after
being Viceroy of Algeria; during the.
lust decade of Napoleon's reign, was
the second President of me third
French republic.
Colonel do MacMahon hns Inherited,
alor.g with the family Chateau do la
Foret Ir the I.olret and the family
mansion in the Rue de Belchasso, In
Paris, his fathers title of Due de
Magenta, which tho marshal won In
\%?i> on the battlefield of that r.ame.
He does not. however, make use of
It. and will probably rofrain from do?
ing so; at any rate, until ho attains
tho rank of general. Hitherto ho has
been In commaiid of the First Bat?
talion r't the One Hundred and Twen?
ty-ninth Regiment of Infantry at
Havre, where he lived very quietly and
unpretentiously with his royal wife,
Princess Marguerite of Orleans, daugh?
ter of that Due de Chartres. wno, with
his brother, the Comte do Paris, served
on the staf.' ef General McClellan dur?
ing the American Civil War.
The colonel In appearance takes af?
ter ills mother, a sister of ho last
Duce de Castries, rather tnan after
his father; for. like her. he Is extra?
ordinarily pood-humored and disposed
to embonpoint. He and his wife have
three children, the youngest, a boy of
seven, who will Inherit the dukedom
and estates, and also two brothers.
gene, who is the black sheep of the
family, and who, after a most stormy
carer in France and the colonies?
a cause of much sorrow and expense
to his parents, the Duko and Duchess
of Magenta?finally vanished some?
where In the Orient, and Emmanuel,
who. a soldier l'ko Patrick, has for
some months past commanded tho
One Hundred and Fifty-fifth Regiment
of Infantry at Commercy. Both tho
soldier brothers have seen actlvo ser?
vice. Patrick in the Madagascar cam?
paign, whllo the younger won not on?
ly much distinction, but rapid promo?
tion. In fighting against tho Black
Flags In Toriquln, and In this wlso
obtaining a colonelcy even before
Patrick did. It Is a great mistake to
think that the family owe their no
bltary title of marqus to Napoleon
III It dates trom the mtuille of tho
eighteenth century, and the second
mhrquls received a scat In the French
House of Peers from Charles X. on the
occasion of his coronation.
Descended Of the ancient Anglo
Norman house of Fitzurse. whoso name
In Irish becomes MacMahon, both the
colonels are the great-grandsons of
an Irish physician who nettled down
to the practlco of h<s profession In
17i2 at Autun. Marrying a very rich
widow, he became through her the
owner of a large ostato In Burgundy,
was created a marquis by Louis XVI.
and died in Spain In 1776.
It was Iiis eldest son, the second
Marquis do MacMahon, who, by his
marriage to Mile, do Caraman. of the
ducal houro of that name, became
the father of several sons, one of TToi
younger of theso being tho already
mentioned marshal of France, Due of
Magacnta.
The first marquis, the Irish physi?
cian, had a younger brother, .lohn,
who In 1730 entered tho Irish College
at Paris, with the object of becoming
a priest. Changing his rnlnd. ho also
turned to medicine, ntvl was appointed
a surgeon In the French army. Eater
he was attached In a confidential ca?
pacity to the French embassy at Ber?
lin, where he became acquainted with
Frederick the Great and Voltaire.
Returning to Paris In 1770. ho was
appointed chief medical oftlcer of the
Ecole Mllltatre. ami married nn Ameri?
can, a Miss bprlngham Clarko, of Phil?
adelphia; He also was medical ad?
viser to Benjamin Franklin In Paris,
receiving from that father of Ameri?
can diplomacy. In token of gratitude,
a gold snuff box bearing his portrait.
The MacMahons In France, like those
In Ireland, nr? generally understood
to be descended from Sir Reginald
Fitzurse. the leader of the four
knights of King Henry II. who slew
St. Thomas A. Recket, tho ArshblshoP
of Canterbury, on tho altar steps of
h^.i cathedral. Flbmrso means "son
of tho bear," a Norman-French equi?
valent of the Rjornson of the Viking
conquerors. The Celtlc-Irtsh transla?
tion of tills is MacMahon. It Is said
that nfter the crime Sir Reginald fled
to the north of Ireland and spent the
rollt of his days In voluntary exile, be?
coming the ancestor of tho Irish Mac?
Mahons.
Another of Becket's assailants was
Sir William do Tracy, whose d v.en
dants still flourish In tho w. st of
England, and from whom the Lords
Wotnyss and Sudeley aro both de?
scended. Do Tracy, so tho story goes,
tried again and ngaln to escape from
