Uncertain Frame of Mind.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 16.-General
Butler is in peevish mood. His thoughts
appear to trouble him, and he does not know
what he is ''going to do about it," or at least
he says he does not. His latch string since
he has been in Washington has boon on the
outside to interviewers, and the substance of
every interview has been Eyes and no." To
the question whether or not he intended to
support Cleveland the answer is eyes and
no." To the inquiry whether or not he in
tended to run as a candidate for President on
the Greenback and Anti Monopoly ticket, the
answer has been Eyes and no. and out of all
of it he laughingly said that he was receiving
great deal of free advertising. But it is
not clear why he should wish to adver-
tise his uncertainty In all that he has said
here there has been but one fact, viz, that
no statements purporting to come from him
were to be recognized unless published over
his signature. He had long interview with
President Arthur, pending which a
veteran female claimant, who had been
importuning the President for aid, applied to
Butler and expressed the wish that he might
sometime be President Butler very promptly
replied: 'FI hope 50, too, madam But to
further entreaties he suggested that it would
greatly compicate affairs of State if he
should attempt to secure Office from the
President.
Those who are near to Butler and have
talked with him say that, notwithstanding
his attitude of Indifference, they are well adj
vised that he inteRds to run for President
upon the motley ticket which he heads

ing secret joy in the bosoms of the carpet
manufacturers: Specimens of the so-called
beetles-little dark-colored bugs not half as
big as hies-were exhibited to-day in the
Times Office They came from northern
Massachusetts, tightly corked up in vial
containing a strip of red wooden cloth, on
which these pests feed. It seems they prefer
red to any other color, and will eat out the
red part of straw mating before the rest
They eat ladies' dresses, carpets, pantaloons
and almost any kind of clothing, wooden
or not. And they breed in vast numbers. In
Pittsburg they were running the carpets for a
year or more before people found them out.
They are extremely active and when a
breadth of carpet is quickly lifted up very
few are left in sight even at that moment.
In Saratoga they have ruined scores of, car
pets. In Pittsburg lady hung up costly
dress one Sunday evening and took it down
next Sunday morning only to find fifteen or
twenty holes in it as large as half dollar
Paris green doesn't kill them, nor prussic acid
Boiling water poured on them at boiling heat,
it is said, will kill them, and SO will naptha
poured directly upon them. Seen under
magnifying glass the bug discloses horizon
tai stripes, light and dark, and fringe of
stiff hairs. These creatures are said to be
overrunning many houses in Plainville but
we do not hear much of their appearance yet
in Hartford, though they are believed or
known to be here. Berkshire county Mass it
is said, is full of them '" '"

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The practice of
taking testimony before magistrate who is
also an attorney in the case has become so
prevalent in land cases in the West, that Sec
rotary Teller has felt it his duty to issue an
order in regard to it. He says: ''It is repre-
sented that this practice has been very gen
orally prevalent in Dakotah and probably
elsewhere, and that to give my ruling re-
troactive effect would operate unfayorably in
pending cases wherein the practice was al
lowable under the laws of the territory or
state or under the rules of your Office (that is,
the general land ofice). You will therefore
suspend action in cases involving this ques-
ton until its further consideration, or until
you are otherwise directed; and in the mean
time you will permit any person to file an
argument thereon for presentation to this
department.n

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 16.-In the po-
Htica1 circles here the impression seems to be
that ex-senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, will
be elected chairman of the national Demo-
cratic committee. Considerable opposition
in certain quarters is expressed against Mr.
Barnum It is thought Governor Cleveland
prefers Manning, of New York, but the I'M
derstanding here is that he (Manning) does
not want the position. From good authority
it is learned that Mr. Randall forbids the use
of his name. He will not stand in Mr.. Wal
faces way At Chicago, Randall was ably and
Loyalty supported by Wallace and it is said
the former will now do all he can to have the
latter made the chairman Of the committee.
For many years the Wallace and Randall
factions of the Democracy in Pennsylvania
antagonized each other at every convention
but the Ratchet has been buried and
the best feeling now prevails
between them Mr.. Randall's friends say if
Mr.. Wallace desires the pos1t1on ne Will re-
ceive Randall's most cordial support. The
Star publishes characteristic interview with
Senator Beck He is reported saying that
Secretary Folger won't open the treasury for
Blaine. 1t was Blaine who advised Repubh-
cans to bolt Folger when he ran for Governor
of New York, and now the secretary is glad
of a chance to give Blaine dose of the same
medicine Besides, Folger no doubt wants
Blaine to see what h-lof a runner this
man Cleveland is before the people"
In Republican circles the utmost confidence
is expressed of success based upon reports of
Democratic defections in New York and else
where Throughout the departments there
is the greatest enthusiasm and no forebodings
are entertained of the final outcome. While
the civil service rules exclude assessments for
political purposes it is safe to say the amount
of voluntary subscriptions in the departments
will be fully equal to the largest amount
ever raised by the other means.

Hut1er Positively a Candidate.

CHICAGO, H., July Conformation has
been received from close friend of General
Buffers, by B. F. Shirley, secretary of the
Anti-Monopolist committee, stating positive
ly that Butler is a candidate for President on
an Independent ticket. Shirley, whose head
quarters are in this city, said to-day that
Buffers course will not be altered by the
action of the labor convention to be held in
Chicago, July 80. Buffers candidacy, said
Shirley, would introduce an uncertain ele-
in the campaign We expect him to carry
Michigan and Iowa, and perhaps Massachu-
SETS The prospects of a close race between
the Democrats and Republicans are good. If
Butler runs with his Greenback and Labor it
is possible snch a result as a tie in the cleo
toral college may be brought about, when
the House of Representatives will take up
the election, wherein the roles by States
Michigan has the deciding vote, and Green
