Lives in a Tree.

Washington Cor. Cleveland Leader.
Washington is the paradise of cranks.
and all the curious characters in the
country seem to have congregated here.
My latest discovery is a man who lives in
a tree. He is an $500 clerk in the pen
sion office, and his name is A. B. Hay
ward. Heis a black-whiskered pleasant
looking, one-armed bachelor of about 40
years. His aerial habitation is situated
just outside of the boundary limits. be-
tween the Fourteenth and Sixteenth
street roads, within quarter of a mile Of
joaquin Niller's cabin. It consists of a
tent-like house built upon a pine plat
form fastened between two big oak trees.
This platform is perhaps 25 feet square.
and it is fastened to the trees as far up
from the ground as the first story of a
business building. 1t IS certainly higher
than any ceiling in America. Upon this
platform a wall of pine boards about eight
feet high is built in the form of a hollow
square, and from the top of this a tent
roof Of two thickesses of canvass rises in
in wedge shape. The canvass is of the
finest quality, and l notice that the gov
ernment stamp is on one Of the sides of
the roof. The entrance to the tent faces
the west, and before it there is a wide
platform where its owner can come out
and sit in the warm summer. evenings.
and on which is now sitting a rocking
chair and water-bucket. This platform
is reached by a ladder twenty feet long.
but very light. Mr. Hayward takes it
oil to farm house near by when he
4 goes to work, and returning he brings If
again to his tent, and in the tent he en-
tertains his friends Its interior is com
fortably furnished. and it is heated with
a little oil stove. There is a carpet on the
floor, rocking-chars are scattered about
the room. and there is a bookshelf and
a writing-table. Pictures and photographs
are fastened upon the walls. and the
whole makes very comfortable quarters.
1t has not been cold enough to keen Its
owner from using it al the past winter.

\ THOUSAND DOLLAR NUGGET
Philadelphia Miners Who Struck a
Bonanza in the South.

Probably the largest solid gold nugget
that has been discovered in the Eastern
United States since the rebellion, saws
the Philadelphia Times, is now in the
possession of Mr.. G. w Russell. of this
city. This remarkable specimen was
found some years ago in a North Caro-
lima gold mine, and has recently attracted
the attention OF the Academy of Natural
Sciences of this city. It was even made
the subject of a special report by Prof.
II. {. Lewis to the Academy in Deem
ber last, and was then referred to by that
gentleman as one of the most striking
evidences of the existence of pure gold
in a naturural state ever found in this
country. The nugget weighs over four
pounds, and contains much less than one
per cent. Of any other substance. It's in
trinsic value has been estimated by Prof
Lewisat not less than $1,000. A short
time ago the famous nugget was sent to
Europe to be examined by scientific au-
thorities, In 1861 nugget said to have
weighed thirteen pounds was found in
the same locality.

The Strange Story of a Deaf and
Dumb PeddIer ON London Bridge.

The Strange Story of Il Deaf and
Dumb PeddIer ON London Bridge.
Philadelphia Press.
The famous deaf and dumb knick-
knack peddler, who, during the past
fourteen years attracted 50 much atten-
ton on London bridge, is dead, and the
subject of the latest sensation. He died
n the Southwark work-house, near the
south end of the bridge. Despite his in
firmities, he managed to support himself
by his small sales, and, securing official
and police favor by the gentIeness Of his
demeanor and the intelligence Of his con-
duct, was allowed to occupy the same
post on the great thoroughfare from year
to year.
Before his death the peddler beckoned
to his cot one of the hospital attendants
and terrified him by speaking. When
the attendant recovered from his aston
ishment the beggar confessed that his
deafness and dumbness had been feigned.
He said he was a Swiss gentleman Of for
tune and belonged to one of the best fani-
lies of the Republic. When young
man he was betrothed to a beautiful and
accomplished girl. He was possessed of
a most violent temper, and in a lovers
quarrel over a trffle one day he 50 wound
ed the girl by the bitterness of his invec-
tives that she fell i'll.
The reproaches Of his friends for his
cruel conduct stung him so that he be
came melancholy from remOrse and left
home. He then resolved to punish him
self, and vowed to become a voluntary
exile for twenty years, to earn his own
living, leave his fortune untouched, keep
his relations and friends ignorant OF his
whereabouts, and go bareheaded and
barefooted in all weather during the en-
tire time, and to listen to no one and
speak to no human being during the last
ten years Of his exile. If he had lived to
complete his vow, he meant to return
home and use his fortune and the re
mainder of his days in making his be
trothed happy, providing she was alive
and unmarried.
He had rigidly kept his VOW; 'but," he
cried before he expired, my time is not
quite up, and must die before it is.
have been punished as | deserved
Investigation, so far as it has gone, has
proven that the peddler's story is entirely
true, and his family in Switzerland have
been made acquainted with his death.

MIR. CHAFFEE ALMOST PENN
LESS.

One Of His Friends Hints at Great
Scandal Behind the GRAVEYARD
Financial Failure.
Washington special to the New York World.
A friend of Senator Chaffee, who is in
Washington, to-day said that Chaffee
was one of the greatest sufferers by the
failure of Grant & Ward He has lost
every cent Of his available resources.
Last year he considered himself worth
nearly $4,000 coo. of which $4,000 600
We're in Colorado properties, which have
since greatly deprecated and are not now
marketable.
At the time of the marriage Of his
daughter with Buck Grant he had 81
600. 900 in cash securities. When his
daughter was married he gave her $780,
600 in bonds These were all put into
the firm Of Grant & Ward, and every
dollar of them is lost. Chaffee himself
in street speculation during the past year
lost &100. 600. A month or SIX weeks ago
he had half a million in cash securities.
Just before he made his last visit to the
West he took his money and gave it to
his son-in-law to keep for him during his
absence 1t was not an investment nor
was it for the purpose Of securing any in
vestments. 1t was simply deposited
with young Grant as a trust, during a
brief absence Of the ex-senator. This
money in some way reached the hands
of Ward and was lost.
Chafree is practically penniless and is
in a most wretched state Of mind. This
friend of Chaffee says that it is by no
means believed that Ward could have
lost the large sums charged up to his
failure. He believes that 50, 600, 600
would cover the legitimate losses of the
firm. and hints directly at very scandal
lOus developments which will result in
rigid investigation of what Ward has
done with the money.

The Carlisle Movement.

Nothing could more forcibly illustrate
tariff Representatives in Congress, says a
WashsngtOn special to the St. Louis
Globe-DemOcrat, than the movement
which has taken definite form within the
last day or two to make Speaker Carlisle
the Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency. A week ago they might have
been content with the Ohio platform,
and candidates who would be compro-
mise between the extreme revenue re
formers and the protective tariff men.
Now nothing will satisfy them less than
the strongest declaration in favor of q
tariff only for revenue, and candidates
who are unalterabIy opposed to tariff
for protection Mr. Carlisle is now
thought to be the finest and most ayaila-
bic embodiment of this principle. He is
admitted by Republican and Demscratic
opponents to possess great abilities and
high judicial qualities. 1t is a remark
heard almost daily here at the capitol
that no fairer nor more popular Speaker
