WE published an item recently relating to suspicious circumstances connected with the schooner Julia Baker of Philadelphia, then unloading at Key West, Fla. Cap tain D. H. Craig, who was sent by the owners to investigate, tells the story of the man at the wheel at the time of Capt. Lew is death
 The cabin window was open and this man could see plainly into the room and as plainly hear all that was going on. The captain had not been well for three days but had been about his business as usual. There were in the cabin the mate, Walker, and Gomez, the steward. The captain had previously been given medi- cine by these men and fell down as he was crossing the cabin to go up on deck. The man at the wheel heard the captain groan, ask for something to relieve him, and saw the mate and steward pour some reddish fluid into his mouth from bottle. No than the captain put his hand to his stom- ach and called out "Oh my God, give me something to drink P The two men then held long thin flask containing a whitish fluid to the captains lips. He shook his head, spoke no more, and was dead in less than five minutes. The body was thrown overheard about three hours later-at p. m. Immediately after this the mate kept the vessel of in south, southwesterly direction instead of to the south, southeast, on the plea that they were out of water. They made for Zunis, where they sold the deck-load and then went to Long Key and Anango, at both of which places they disposed of more cargo, the steward skipping at the latter place. The mate then steered for Key West, where he was arrested. All the crew are held at Key West for witnesses Captain Craig believes the captain was poisoned.

Washington Letter IN the Chicago Inter-ocean.
The President spends most of his time
when he is not receiving visitors in q
little room in the northwest corner Of
the second story of the White House,
where he has writing-desk and few
easy chairs The room is very small and
was originally intended as dressing
room, being connected with the cham
Der he occupies. Tho Presidents desk
stands just before : window, where be
can look across Pc ylvania avenue in.
to Lafayette PARK, LIij the vista stretches
up that broad ave4ue known as Six
teenth street to Meridian Hill. Over the
desk are usually many Official papers and
basket of fresh flowers Is always before
him. AT one corner Of the desk is slen-
der brass standard, upon which hangs,
like lamp-screen, large white card,
with legend across the top reading:
THE PRESIDENTS EYGAGEMENTs'
and under in large letters a list of the
Va hii' "'thf WIN Ab'
for each day noted down. When he
makes an appointment he always records
it on this card, whether it is dinner
party or the reception of a delegation OF
visitors. He is very punctlllious about
keeping his engagements.
Few men work more hours in the day
than the President. He rises about $50
in the morning takes cold bath, shaves,
drinks cup of coffee, eats an egg or .
piece of toast and then goes into the ex-
ecutive chamber to receive Congression.
al callers or other people who come TO
him on business. BY IL 80 or l O'Clock
this ordeal is over, when he reads bis
mail, dictates replies to letters that re-
quire an immediate answer and disposes
of whatever papers may have been len
with him by the callers of the morning,
referring them to this department or
that, as their contents may require.
Then about O'clock he takes his iunch-
con with the family, and generally
friend or two who may be invited in.
After luncheon, if he has made ep'
poiniments, he receives company in the
library and if not he retires TO the little
room in the corner, where he lights
cigar, writes or dictates letters, reads doc
uments that require his attention ana
performs the official duties of the day.
At 5 o'clock saddle horse is brought to
the back door of the Executive mansion
and be starts off sometimes alone and
sometimes with company for long and
rapid ride, generally taking the deserted
streets west of the White House, through
Georgetown into the country. On cold
or disaereeable days he prefer. to walk
or uses a carriage. Returning after an
Lour's jaunt he dimes at Z and then gives
up the evening to social enjoyment and
at II or II o'clock retires to his little
room, where he works two or three hours
before retiring.
Most of bic messages and other state
papers have been written after midnight
and the light in the northw est windows
Of the White House is often seen burn

"Liyeliness Is not always an indication
of health, and, on the contrary. sluggish
ness is no positive evidence that the fish
is i'll. But when the brilliant red color
fades away into an off-colored pink, or
the white portions OF the body become
intermixed with bloody streaks, or the
fins of the fish appear to be coat I'd with
something unusual, or seem inflated and
stick together, or are carried close to the
body, then the health of the fish has
failed and danger is close at hand. Most
of the diseases of goldfish are the direct
results of i'll treatment while kept in
captivity. Some of the diseases are
brought about by improper feeding"
"What is proper feeding?"
81 will tell you. On this subject prob
ably nine tenths of the owners of gold
fish in Cincinnati need instruction. In
their anxiety to supply their pets most
persons overdo the matter, furnishing
too much food. The waste material, ac-
cumulating in the water, remains until
putrifies, thus polluting the fluid, and
making it detrimental to the health OF
the fish.
"The feeding time should he but once
a day, and that at a regular hour; the
food to consist of flies or prepared fish
food, such as is obtained of the dealers.
The quantity administered ought not to
exceed what they will Immediately con-
sumo. Once week they may be given
finely chopped fishing worms or raw
beef, but only in such quantities as to
allow each fish small mouthful. If any
remnants of the last meal be found in
the water at feeding time they should be
removed at once, and the feeding sus-
pended for a day or two following. In
cold weather goldfish have but little or
no appetite; while they will eat voraci-
ously in sum ner."
The Osceola times., 1884-05-03
Agassiz Upon Life and Death.
Philadelphia Ledger.

An esteemed correspondent of the
Public Ledger lavors us with the follow
ing impressive extract from Prof. Agassiz
to friend: "Prof Meek, who has
been an inmate of the Smithsonian
building for nearly twenty years, was
seized with violent hemorIhage Of the
lungs, from which he did not recover.
| urged him to make will, but he said
it was not necessary at present, as he
would soon be well again in this, how
ever, he was mistaken. He was re-
markable man, with general powers OF
mind he devoted himself for nearly
thirty-five years exclusively to one study
that of the shells found in the geolog-
ical formation Of this country, as compar-
ed with the living shells in different
parts of the world. In this study he es-
tablished a wide reputation, since his
labors are highly priced as determining
the relative ages of the various geologic
al formations Of this country.
"His sickness and death have deeply
impressed me with the instability and
uncertainty of all worldly objects, as well
as with the wonderful phenomena of
life and death. Although these are con-
stantly occurring around us, and must
be exhibited in our own case sooner or
later, yet they are never fully realized
in all their magnitude. How moment

fleeting shadows, and then sink again
