WASHINGTON, April 10. - The
most flat-footed prediction of the cam.
paign, thus far, is made in to.day's
edition of the Washington Sunday
CnpitoJ, and this prediction is that
Mr.. James G. Blaine will be nomi.
mated on the first ballot, at Chicago.
on the Sd Of June. The Capitol sug-
gests to those who are trying to kill
off Mr.. Arthur that they had better
turn their attention to MI. Blaine.
1t submits that it is the Logan and
Edmunds men who have thus been
ignoring Blaine, the man who in
1880 lacked only ninety-five votes of
a majority on the first ballot. "Do
they realize" says the Capitol, "that
in New York. Pennsylvania. Ohio
and Missouri, Mr.. Blaine is already
sure of one hundred delegates more
than he obtained in 1880? Do they
realize that Blaine is the second
choice of what few delegates Mr..
Logan has thus far obtained? Do
they know that the Louisiana dele.
gates who were against Blaine in
1880 are going to be for him this
year ?" Then is appended the vote
of 1880, which shows Blaine's 2S4
votes on the first ballot. The article
then continues rs follows:
"Perhaps it will be argued that
there is a falling off in Blaine's sup.
port in New Hampshire, Michigan

THE CATTLE DISEASE.
of a Committee of Experts
 -No Danger of the Plague Spread

Report of a Committee of Experts
 No Danger of the Plague Spread
 ing.
 OMAHA, Neb., July 31.-The committee of cattle men appointed to examine into the Texas fever among cattle at western points went down to Maxwell, accompanied by J. H. Hopkins, veterinarian of Wyoming Terri tory The conclusion at which they arrived is that there is no occasion for alarm. The disease is self-limited and dies with the ami nal which has been inoculated by grazing on tainted ground. Their fellows in the herd can graze after cattle so diseased and yet be free from infection the poisonous principle exhausting itself in the body of the animal attacked. The disease will be confined to the few herds in the vicinity of Brady's Is land and Maxwell already attacked The following named stockholders ex- press themselves as satisfied that there is no danger to their herds: J. H. Mcconnell, president of the Lincoln County Stock asso- ciation; John Pratt, ex-member of the com mittee of the Wyoming Stock association; B. w Murphy, of the Powder River Cattle com pany; Zach. Thomson, manager of the Oga- lalla Cattle company; Dillon, Collins & Co., Russell Watts, M. c. Keith, T. K. Foley, B. Beers, Joseph Hershey of Benjamin Hershey & O., M. Burke 6 Son, Ritner, Randall & Co.,, P. R. Longley, and others.
 LINCOLN, Neb., July 31.-The commission sent out to Maxwell on Monday by Governor Dawes returned last night. They found one hundred cattle in the vicinity of Maxwell and Brady Station dead, and as many more sick. The infection is confined to cattle which grazed on small strip of land over which ,, 1000 Texas cattle were driven. It was as certained by series of experiments that the disease was not contagious. The railroads have promised not to bring in any more Texas cattle until after the frost, and stock men in the vicinity representing S5,000,00O in cattle have combined to prevent their be- ino landed if brought in

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The following statements in regard to the contraction of the aggregate circulating medium during the last session of Congress is based on information obtained at the Treasury department; On December 1, 1883, the silver dollars in circu- Iation outside of the United States tr6-eury amounted to $41 1901 ,983, silver certificates to $87, ,976, ,261 gold certificates to So0, ,997, ,620, national bank notes to S343, ,9S9, 7o7 and legal tender notes to S306, SOC, ,372. On July l, 1884. the same items were: Silver dollars, $39,
 794, ,913; silver certificates, S96, ,427,O Oil; gold certificates, $91, 146, ,640 national bank notes,
 S325 ,337 ,860, and legal tender notes, S306,- 497, ,21O These figures show decrease of S1 ,5O7, ,O7O in silver dollars, an increase of $9, ,450 S10 in silver certificates, an increase ot $12, ,249, ,020 in gold certificates, decrease of SIS, ,660, ,027 in national bank notes, and decrease of $309, 157 in legal tender notes. The result is an apparent increase of $222,- 676 in the aggregate circulating medium of the country outside of amounts held in the treasury. This ap- parent increase, however, is due to the increase of s12, ,249, ,O20 in gold certif- SAAO ~~~ form of certificates of gold, which was al ready in the hands of the people and the banks. In other words the scarcity of paper currency caused by the decrease in the na- tional bank circulation induced the people to use their gold, and deposited it to obtain the more convenient gold certificates. De- ducting, therefore, this s12, ,249, ,O2O, shows real contraction for the seven months ending January 30, 1884, of about $12, ,oOo, 900.
 In addition the exportation of gold from the country exceeded s32, ,494, 1926, while the gold production of the mines of the country
 The net loss of gold was therefore about $20,- GOO 900. This added to the contraction of other forms of currency before shown to
 amount to about s12, ,O0O,000 makes a total
 construction of the circulating medium of the country, outside of the treasury, of about $32 OOO, 900. It is asserted in the office of the comptroller of the currency that the Me
 Pherson bill which failed to become a law
 would have at once added about $36, ,000,0 900 to the national bank circulation of the coun- try and would have compensated for the se- we're contraction which has occurred.

BOSTON, Mass, July 31.-Jennie Barttell, nineteen years of age, living at No. Indiana Place with her sister, committed suicide at 2:15 o'clock this morning by swallowing an ounce of carbolic acid. The young women came to Boston from Bangor, Maine, two years ago and for some time had received atten- tions from two policemen. Jennies admir- CT broke an engagement with her last eve ming and was subsequently, seen by her in a saloon. She went home crying, wrote note to her deceiver saying that she had done more for him than she would for any other 1han and then swallowed the acid. Her screams aroused the neighbors and just then her sister entered. The death was terrible, the victims writhings being indescrably hor- rible. An utopsy showed that the stomach was burned to crisp.

LIVING IN A TREE.
The Strange Dwelling Place of a Wash-
 fngtOn Clerk.

fngtOn Clerk.
 WASHINGTON, D. c. July 31.-Mention has frequently been made in the press of the pc culiar places of abode of two residents of Washington. Joaquin Mifler's log hut at tracts hundreds of visitors and is a source of wonder to those who never saw backwoods clearing. But perhaps the queerest freak in the way of dwellings is that of a pension of fee clerk, who has house on the top of walnut tree Mount Pleasant, a suburb of Washington. This tree-house was first dis covered about year ago; it was then built in the boughs of a giant maple. Recently the occupant, Mir. A. B. Hayward, concluded to change his residence to site more exalted, and he chose tree further up the hill. The house itself is built on large platform con structed around the trunk, thirty feet 4bove the ground, and supported upon four heavy timbers. It is hexagonal in shape, and about 10x14 feet inside. It is built of matched pine to height of six feet, ,and the roof is composed of canvas awnings SO arranged to admit of being raised or lowered at the will of the occupant. That Hayward is man of taste, in spite of his strange abode, is evident from his personal appear ance and the adornment of his home. He is of middle age, and devoted to literature. His house is handsomely furnished, and con tains a very good library of standard works. The platform surrounding it serves as sort of garden, and abounds with easy-chairs, hammocks, and other contrivances for com fort The entrance is effected by the aid of stairs which reach down within six feet of the ground, and step ladder, which is drawn up to the platform when not in use.
 MT. Hayward gives as his reason for imi- tating the islanders of the Indian Ocean in the selection of dwelling site that he be- ieves the sanitary conditions of that altitude are better than on the ground floor, and that it is more ffexclusive." He has been classed air, but as he is of a sociable turn and is said to be excellent clerk, there is oth- CT reason to accuse him of unsoundness of mind, except it be that he occasionally '.drops into poetry"
