General Babcock for oomplioity with the
st. Louis whisky ring frauds reappears
upon the scene in connection with Gen.

ticing widow, accused of possessing q
living husband and four children. visited
Mcdonald in prison, according to Scrip
ture injunction, and when he was released
he brought her to his Green Lake home.
where she has since "bossed" his family
and farm, accompanying him a-6eld and
to market and sticking to him with the
familiarity OF bur. Mrs. Mcdonald.
q silver-haired. intelligent, Christian
woman. has been treated like child, but
she bore the exsctions OF the usurper
until she broke a goblet over her head
and Mcdonald locked his wife in her
room from which she escaped through
q window and tramped to a neighbor's
through mud and darkness. A trial for
assault followed, the La Mothe woman
was fined $40 and costs, which General
Mcdonald paid, and at last bis wife has
sued for q divorce because of adultery
and abuse. Mcdonald is a dashing fell

husband, personal friend of his, and
has since furnished him with $40, 900,
and has only remained with him until
she could marry the Chicago real estate
agent to whom she is engaged.
MAxrMILIAN's DIAMONDS. While in
the City of Mexico recently, General
JEFF G. Davis became the fortunate pur-
chaser of diamond scarf and shawl pin,
which, in addition totits intrinsic beauty
and value, is Of great historical interest.

Austria to Macmillan before the latter
left Vienna for Mexico, and worn by
Maximilisn until after his sentence of
death, when it was presented by him to q
faithful Mexican adherent. The owner
found it necessary to realize on its valu-
able present, whether by pawning or
selling is not known, and it was offered
for sale in one OF the jewelry establish
ments of the City of Mexico. Here il
became ON object OF curiosity and inter
est. especially to foreign residents and
visitors. Our Minister, General Foster,
called General Davis attention to the
pin, which is OF gold, oval shaped, the
upper portion surmounted with crown.
the whole resting on the wings of the
Mexican eagle, while the eagle holds in
his claws, or rather is standing on 9

is q dark blue ground Of enamal. OF
which are combined coats OF arms o.
Austria and Mexico. Beneath is the
monogram. IN. I. M."-"Maximiliar
l., Mexico" There are eighty.five dia
monds in all on the face of the pin, o.
exquisite workmanship. When held be-
fore gas jet it becomes blaze Of bril-
liant light.
