Coroner J. W. Wingard, who went TO
Clearwater TO hold an inquisition on the
body of Geo. Reed, the man referred to in
a recent issue of the EAGLE as having shot
himself nc that place, returned home Satur-
day evening. The evidence revealed the
fact that Geo. Reed, Minnie Burbank,
Flora Magee and Geo. Whaley, had come
up from Wellington in two covered wag-
ons and camped out in tents a short dis
tance west OF Clearwater, where the two
woman (well known in this city as harIots)
were plying their calling. The women tes-
titled that they were near one of the tents
in company with Reed, when he raised u
revolver in his right hand and shot, the
ball entering his. head on the upper right
side and coming out of the left ear. The
doctors, however, who examined the
wound, testified that the ball had entered
the left ear and passed out of the right side
of the head. Inyiew OF the worthless char
acter OF Reed, the jury returned a verdict
of death from pistol shot fired by HIM

says, that Reed was murdered, the suppo-
sition being that he was drunk and lying
down when someone shot him, as the course

Lives In q Tree.

Washington is the paradise of cranks,
and all the curious characters in the
country seem to have congregated
here. My latest discovery is man
who lives in a tree. He is an 81 800
clerk in the Pension Office, and his name
is A. b. Hayward. He is black
whiskered, pleasant-looking, one-armed
bachelor of about forty years. His
aerial habitation is situated just out
side of the boundary limits, between
the Fourteenth and Sixteenth street
roads, within quarter of mile of
Joaquin Miller's cabin. 1t consists of
tent-like house built upon a pine plat
form fastened between two big oak
trees. This platform is perhaps twenty
five feet square, and it is fastened to
the trees as far up from the ground as
the first story of business building.
II is certainly higher than any ceiling
in America. Upon this platform wall
of pine boards about eight feet high is
built in the form of hollow square,
and from the top of this tent roof Of
two thicknesses of canvas rises In
wedge shape. The canvas is Of the
best quality, and l notice the Govern
ment stamp Is on one OF the sides OF the
roof. The entrance is on the west, and
before it is wide platform where its
owner can come out and sit in the
warm summer evenings, and on which
are now sitting rockingham and a
waterbucket. This platform is reached
by ladder twenty feet long, but very
light. Mr.. Hayward takes it off to
farmhouse near by when he goes to
work, and returning he brings it again
to his tent, and in the tent he entertains
his friends. It's interior is comfortably
furnished, and it is heated with little
oil stove. There is carpet on the
floor. rocking-chairs are scattered about
the room, and there is bookshelf and
writing-table. Pictures are fastened
upon the walls, and the whole makes
very comfortable quarters. Washing

4 Letter Of the Poet Keats.

In one of his letters to his sister he
says, expressing a momentary high
feeling: Oh, there is nothing like fine
weather, and health, and books, and
contented mind, and diligent habits of
reading and thinking, and an amulet
against the enemies, and please heaven,
a little claret wine out of cellar mile
deep-with few, or good many, rata
fin cakes-a rocky basin to battle in; :"
and he enunciates much else, tapering
off into series of rollicking whims, and
ending with about thirty-six lines of
doggerel rhyme. But Keats always
had breezy way of rafting off his
wishes and feelings in his correspond
ence, of which we will give but one
moro sample. 1t is from one of the
letters to his sister written from Win
chester. He says u should like now

About Camels.

writer says: "The camel is the
most perfect machine on four legs that
we have any knowledge Of" A sacred
treasure, indeed, to the Arab is this
"pudding-footed pride of the desert"
The expression on the face of a camel
is rather pathetic. His eyes are large
and liquid, and above them are deep
cavities large enough to hold hens
Ngg. The aquiline nose, with long,
'slanting nostrils that he can close
tightly against the sand storms and hot,
burning winds of the desert, give very
sorrowful expression to the face. The
under lip is pouting and puckering, and
you are not Mt all surprised when the
poor beast bursts into tears and cries
long and loud like vexed child.
The feet of the camel are of very
singular construction. with tough,
elastic sole, soft and spongy as they
fall noiselessly on the earth and spread
out under his lettering weight. This
form of the foot prevents the animal
from sinking in the sand, and he is very
sure-footed on all sorts of ground.
The average rate of travel for cara
van is between two and three miles an
hour; and the camel jogs on, hour
after hour, at the same pace, and seems
to be almost as fresh at night as in the
morning when he started on his travels.
The Arabians say of the camel: Jobs
beast is monument of Gods mercy"
The camel sheds his hair regularly
once year, and carpets and tent-cloths
are made from it; it is also woven into
cloth. Some of it is exceedingly fine
and soft, though it is usually coarse
and rough, and is used for making coats
for the shepherds and camel-drivers
and huge water bottles, leather sacks,
also sandals, ropes, and thongs are
made of it's skin.

A Source of Chronic Misery.

Weak nerves is source of chronic misery.
Slight noises jar them terribly, the most trivial
