A CHARMING BACHELOR RETREAT.

Unless the owner is present to admit
him, however, he is shut out from too
close view by high picket fence with
carefully locked gate and watchful though
good natured dogs. When the gate
swings open and the visitor enters the
enclosure he sees large and imposing
structure, built high up among the
branches of three sturdy oak trees thirty.
two feet above the ground. About 6
dozen slender wooden props for the pur.
pose of steadyirg as well as supporting
ing the superstructure, from theil
smallness of diameter, hardly dispel
the illusion that the dwelling rests
wholly upon the wide spreading
branches. The structure is in three
stories, or more properly, perhaps, in
two, with some cosey apartments built
upon the roof. On the lower story are
small kitchen and dining-room. On the
next are the reception saloon and the
large state dining-room. The latter apart.
ment is so surrounded with windows that
it was originally called "the glass room, y
and was designed for use as a conserva.
tory, for which it is admirably adapted.
Adjoining this is another room of large
proportions, which is also used at times
as spare dining-room, and like the other
is adorned at one end by pillar formed
by large tree trunk, rising from floor to
ceiling.

His beginnings were much more mod
est than his present elaborate abode. The
first house in the trees was twelve by
seven and half feet, just the width of
an army 4 tent, and it went up in two
days, June Is and IA, 1883. There, far
away from the hot brick walls and the
burning asphalt pavements of the city,
Mr.. Hayward slept in comfort':and safety.
He has stayed in his little dwelling ever
since it was built, with the exception of a
few weeks when some friends of his were
visiting Washington. 1t was then more
convenient for him to stay at hotel.
The city air, however, greatly impaired
his general health, nor did he recuperate
until he had returned to his airy abode.
1t proved so attractive both to himself
and to his many visitors that he extended
his house to it present generous proper
tions and often entertained picnicking and
dancing parties from the city. People
from across the seas often knock at the
portals and in response to the dogs CHEEKY
bark are admitted by the owner. On the
visitors book are such names as those OF
E. A. Phipson, Parramatta, New South
Wales, Australia; ]. R. Hewlett, Mexico !;
Lucie E. Ramsay, London, England; &;
Miss Yosh Kuki, Toxic, Japan; Miss
Maggie Colgan, Carlevi Forest, Tulla-
more, Kings County, Ireland; Miss Mil.
lar, Glasgow, Scotland; Miss R. Keyser,
Rome; L. M. Huebert, Lyons, France;
R. G. D. Tichborne, eleventh Baron, {"
San Diego, CAL, the celebrated claimant,
and Miss Catharine Lee Bayard, the late
daughter of the Secretary of State.
Mr.. Hayward is as far from being a
''crank" as any intelligent man could be.
He has noteven like MANY lonely bachelors
made speciality of any particular class of
pets. He has had poultry, cats and dogs
h his inclosure, but has never been over
un with them. While he is at the Pen
ZION Office during the day the place is
locked up and the dogs greet with good
deal of qualification any chance visitor
who looks through the bars. The sitting.
room contains the current literature of the
day, many curios left by appreciatiye
visitors and fine portrait of General
Grant, Mr.. Hayward's old commander.
The son of New Hampshire manufac-
turer, he enlisted as early as April %,
1861, in the Second New Hampshire
Volunteers, of which Mr.. Gilman Mar
ston was Colonel. He fought through all
the Peninsular campaign, the "Seven
days fight, the siege of Yorktown, bat
tie of Williamsburg, battle of Seven
Pines, McClellan's retreat, battle of Har-
rison's Landing, battle of Bristow Station,
battle of Manassas and the battles of
Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg and
Gettysburg.
During this long series of engagements
Mr.. Hayward was three times wounded,
finally losing his right arm close up to the
shoulder at the battle of Cold Harbor. In
1866 he was given clerksh;p in the Pen.
sion Office, which he has ever since held.

The Frog and the Ball Of Butter.

A lady of this town recently set a
pot of cream in a spring near the house,
so that it might keep cool. Daring the
night a frog fell into the cream pot,
and in his struggle to get ont actually
churned the cream, so that when the

THE TREE MAN.
A WASHINGTON CLERK MAKES
/ HIS DWELLING UP AN OAK.
Mr.. Hayward, to Preserve His Health
Builds an "Airy Castle" in a
Tree-SOme OF His Visitors
His Manner of Life.

The city of Washington has, besides it
public buildings and fine avenues,
peculiar attraction in its famous "tre,
man." who from January to Decembe
lives in house among the oaks NOR,
than thirty feet above the ground. Tn,
place is called "Airy CASTLE" and is stu
ated at Mount Pleasant, some half mil,
beyond the old city limits. The visito
is attracted by curious combination o
walls and windows, poles and roofs
mingled with the swaying branches ant
rustling leaves.

walls, and which contain all manner Of
things both useful and ornamental.
These must be seen in detail to be prop
erly appreciated, and would have de-
lighted the heart of Captain Cutie, who
would not have failed to apply to them
his famous phrases "When once seen
make a note on"
Northward from "Airy Castle" and
about two hundred feet away is another
large structure, containing a beautiful
banquet hall, dancing pavilion and other
small rooms. The dancing pavilion is
open on all sides to the air, and with the
polished floor, ,Auttering shade and gleam-
ing hanging lights, forms hall unique
of its kind in this country.
One naturally asks, when told that a
Washington man lives up tree, what has
put this strange fancy in his head9 Is he
a mild crank2 Is he merely an imitator
of Walt Whitman, who spent whole
summer in tree somewhere on Long
Island, the better t1 commune with
nature2 Is he a modern Timon or
bAOSShCo WIN lONcS W lOOk uOW1 upon
his fellowsG Or is he a disappointed
lover with a story similar to that of the
young lady whose courage and strength
of mind under adverse circumstances are
celebrated in Edmund Lear's pathetic
lines:
There was a young la6y of Lucca,
Whose lovers completely forsook her,
But she climbed up tree
And said fiddle dee deer'
Which embarrassed the peopleo of Lucca.
None of these conjectures is correct.
"The man in the tree" is Mr.. Allen b.
Hayward, clerk in the Pension Office,
who has chosen this airy residence on the
grounds of comfort and health. While
in the army during the war he contracted
from exposure painful disease, and ever
since the war has been subject to occa-
sional attacks of this disorder, especially
during the heat of summer. The fact
that he felt compelled to take some ex-
traordinary measures to preserve his
health during the summer ultimately led
to his building and occupying the nest
among the tree tops which he now makes
his permanent home.

BERLIN, Aug. 14.-At the banquet
which was given at the castle in honor
of the Emperor Francis Joseph, Em-
peror William, in his toast to his inn
perial guest, said:
You learned from the joyful recep-
ton with which you were welcomed by
our people that they are filed with a
warm and lively consciousness of the
friendship which has existed between
your people and mine for century.
Before all is this consciousness mani
tested by the army, portion of which
you saw today, proud of being per-
mitted to appear before your keen, sol
dierly eye. Ny people. like the army,
viii hold firmly and faithfully to the
alliance we concluded The army
knows that, for the maintenance of
peace, it will have to join with the gal
lant army of Austria and, if Providence
SO wills, fight shoulder to shoulder with
it,"
The Austrian emperor thanked his
host for the brilliant reception accorded
him and toasted his friend and ally.
Two such gallant armies as those of
Germany and Austria, he said, increased
the guarantees of peace.

upon pretty heavy advance and posi-
lively refused to entertain any PROPOSE

then adjourned sine die.
Both sides appeared to be very firm,
and unless there is break on one side
or the other, the window glass factories

A succes.ful ApplIcatIon.

WILLIAMsPoRT, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE so
called elixir of life was tried at Milton
by DIR. A. p. Hull, of Montgomery, in a
surprising and apparently successful
manner. For the past two years ex-
Burgess Nagle has been suffering with
complete paralysis of both lower limbs,
being the result of an injury to the spine
received through fall. Mr.. Nagle suf-
fered great pain at timcs, could not put
his feet on the floor and attended to his
business with much difficulty.
DIR. Hull determined to try the elixir
on him, using for the purpose the pre-
paration experimental with by Brown
Sequard, ex-Surgeon Gen. Hammond
and Cincinnati physicians. The in-
lection was made in the fleshy part Of
Of Mr.. .Nagle's legs. and DIR. Hull is
authority for stating that within half an
hour after it was administered Nagle
felt greatly relieved and walked around.
The cure seems almost miraculous

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 1.-THE most
disastrous floods the southwestern part of
the state has experienced for ten years
are now in progress. The Nemeha river,
the Blue, the Salt and dozens of smaller
streams are over their banks and the
waters have no signs of abating. Much
property has been destroyed and the
damage to railroads is great. The waters
have risen to Sixth street in the city and
about 500 people have been driven from
their homes.
