A SAVAGE.
by JOHN BOYLE o'RFILLY.

Dixon, a Choctaw, 20 years of age,
Had killed a miner in a Leadville brawl;
Tried and condemned, the rough-beards curb
their rage,
And watch him stride in freedom from thehall,
Return on Friday, to be shot to death!''
So ran the sentenCe-it was Monday night.
The dead mans comrades drew WE'LL pleased

Then all night long the gambling dens were
bright.
The days sped slowly; but the Friday came,
And f1Ocked the miners to the shOotlng-ground;
They chose six rifemen of deadly aim.
And with low voices sat and lOunged around

Who set the savage free must face the blame,
Choctaw brave smiled bitterly and then
Smiled proudly, with raised head as Dixon

Silent and stern-a woman at his heels;
He motions TO the brave, who stays bef tread
Next minute-fame the guns; the woman reels
And drops without a moan-Dixon Is dead.

PH0TD-P0RTRAIT
Gen. [).S. Grant
19X24 inches.

There are many portraits of Gen. Grant as
there were of George Washington, but the por-
trait of Grant by Bogardus, taken just after his
return from the trip around the world, when at
the zenith of his fame, in the prime of life and in
perfect health, is the only that will be known
in the future. The portrait of Washington by
Stuart s the enc known to the masses; even
children recognize it before they know the alpha
bet. The portrait of Our Old Commander, as
taken at the time we refer to, is the one that
viii live in the minds of the people of the coun-
try he saved. Millions saw Gen. Grant at about
the time this was taken. This will be the por.
trait of history. No steel engraving or oil paint
ing can compare, as likeness, with a photo
graph-the mirror of the face.
Gen. Grant is dead, and everybody will desire
a portrait and should get the best one. We
have published this photo-portrait for the sub
scrbers to the WEEKLY WISCONSIN and EVENING
WISCONSIN. It is not for sale.
ANY subscriber sending US S1.00 may receive
the WEEKLY WISCONSIN one year with the por-
trait. Any subscriber sending us S1.OO may re-
ceive the EVENING WISCONSIN two months with
the portrait.

BALTIMORE, Nd, April 80 -E. Otis Hinck
ley, attorney for Mrs. Mary Alice Belt, has
filed in the city circuit court a bill for d.
vorce against her husband, Eugene N. Belt,
on the ground of abandonment and cruelty.
Mr.. Belt is a member of the firm of Calm,
Belt & Co. and one of the leading society
men of this city, residing at IT'S Cll,iries
street. His wife was Mrs Godfrey,
young and handsome widow. OF New
York. He and she met at Mt Desert last
summer for the first time They we're mar
ried in Morristown, N. j., Oct Is last, the
wedding being one of the most fashionable
witnessed in that place for many years.
Shortly after the marriage they came
to this city, the home of the groom,
where a magnificent reception, which
was attended by the elite of the city,
was held at Mr.. Belts residence In Janu-
airy of this year they took pleasure trip
to New Orleans, and shortly after their de-
parture society was astonished by the
return of the groom alone, followed shortly
after by the bride, who created
qnite a sensation at the St James
hotel by her peculiar and dis
tracted conduct, such as crying, tearing her
hair, etc. The bill alleges that while in
New Orleans the defendant (Mr. Belt aban-
doned the complainant and left her to the
cold charity of strangers without any means
whatever to either pay her hotel
bills or travelling expenses, and with
out the slightest notice of his intention
10 abandon her; that upon finding that she
had been abandoned she wrote to New York
for help from her mother, who promptly
responded, going to New Orleans herself to
AXE charge of her daughter. A few days
ter mother and daughter arrived
Baltimore, and went to the St
James hotel, where, owing to the
severe troubles of complainant, she became
demented, and upon advice of relations was
taken to Norristown, the place of her mar
riage, and placed in an asylum for treat
ment. Tuesday her physicians reported
her recovered and she left the asylum,
and Wednesday the bill for divorce
was filed; also a petition for alimony
and the expenses of the suit The
hearing is set for May s. The friends of the
lady deny that there was any marriage gift
or settlement Belt states that the cause OF
his desertion was his wife's indiscreet con
duct, and the discovery by him that she wa!

RIGHTS AND DUTIES AT PANAMA.

When the news came that Commander
McCalla had assumed the responsibility
of preserving order at Panama, and had
placed the insurgent chief, Aizpuru, I'M
der arrest, we commended the boldness
and pluck of our naval officer. But when
the information comes that he has releas>
ed this pestiferous disturber of the peace,
and has evacuated Panama twenty-four
hours before the Colombian forces are
due, it looks very much as if our cons
mendation was misplaced.
President Scrymser, of the Central
American Telegraph company, and other
Americans at Panama think that aban-
doning the town to the rebels may result
in deplorable consequences and ask the
immediate protection of their government.
Just why our protecting forces should be
withdrawn on Saturday night. when the
troops of the Colombian Government
were not expected to take posses
sion of Panama until Sunday night.
does not appear clear. 1t looks on the
surface as if Commonder McCalla was
alarmed by the irrational agitation of the
French naval commander, who may not
have read the treaty between Columbia
and the United States, which expressly
authorizes the latter in default of the
former to keep open the railway line of
transportation ON the Isthmus. That
this stipulation relates only to the bare
track itself, when all avenues and ap-
proaches to it are in the hands of rioters
or insurgent enemies, is too preposterous
for discussion. The railway company is
operating its road, not for fun or philan-
thropy, but to make money. There can
be no money earned unless there is bust,
ness done. There can be no regular bus
mess in freight or passengers with Pana-
ma, the principal source of business in
the hands of gang of reckless
outlaws. Frenchmen are proverbially
excitable and fussy, and gesticu-
late when discussing the weather as il
they were describing prize fight 1t is
possible that the Mysteries of this French
subordinate over the sickening prospect
Of bloody war with France may have
thrown our nervous commander of his
balance. II this is the case well poised
officer who is not given to seeing ghosts
or phantoms should direct the fulfilmeni

THE FISHERY QUESTION.

The famous Washington treaty, made
by the Grant administration with Great
Britain, has fallen into disrepute in New
England, and no public man of that Sec
ton can be found to say word in favor
of the fishery provision in it. Briefly
stated, this provision granted to our fish
ermen the privilege of taking fish within
three miles of the coast of the British
provinces-a privilege which the provin>
cials had before denied them; and in con-
sideration of the concession we granted
the provincial fisherman the right of SELL
ing their fish in our ports free of duty.
But the advantages of the bargain are
nearly all on the side of the provincials.
Tables recently prepared show that our
fisherman catch only about $65, 900 worth
of fish within three miles of the provin>
cial coast, while the duties RENTED to
provincial fisherman on the fish they sell
in our ports amount to about $500, 900 a
year. The advantages of the arrange
ment are, therefore, heavily against our
fishermen, and it is plain that the British
outwitted US in the treaty.
Congress has given notice of the terms
nation of this fishery provision on the
1st of July next. The New England SEM
ators and representatives will then de-
mand high duty on fish to protect their
fishing interests from the competition Of
the provincials. But this will open up
the tariff question again, and congress
will have to consider whether it is wise tC
tax the whole country for the protection
of small local interest in Massachusett:
which cannot maintain itself in competi
ton with rivals in New Brunswick anC
Newfoundland. 1t is pleaded in support
of fish duties that they develop hardy
maritime population in New England
which, in time of war, would supply oul
ships with expert sailors. But the trutl
is that the New England fishing townl
have long ceased to breed native sailors

ST LOUIS, April 30.-John j. Gains
farmer 60 years old, who resided in Gallatin
county, Illinois, was murdered by his son,
Russell p Gains, Tuesday afternoon. The
old man lived with his son, who was %
years old and married. For six weeks
past the father and son have been on
bad terms. Each had made threats
against the other, and when the father, on
Thursday Of last week, brought home as a
bride widow aged 40, and proposed to have
her made member of the family, young
Gains concluded to move away to a home of
his own He was busy in the afternoon tax
ing his things cut of the house, and no
trouble occurred until he reached for trunk
which the father claimed did not belong
to the son. Hard words followed.
The old man, who was standing near the
the door, reached up for his hunting rifle,
got it dow n, and pointed it toward his son.
Upon this young Gains fired four shots from
his revolver, one of which took effect in the
fathers head. The old man never spoke
after being shot, and lived only fifteen min.
uteS. The son surrendered himself to the
cnnstable
