Suicide In Baltimore

The following particulars Of tlse suicide
of gentleman we'll known to many in this
city. 10 taken from the Baltimore Gazette
OF the 3lst nlt:
SUICIDE OF A VIRGINIAN "A few days
since man who gave his name as DR.. T..
J. Hudson, stopped at d boarding house
on Sharp street, where he continued until
yesterday, when he committed suicide. -
About eleven O'Clock yesterday morning
he retired to his room, and after few
minutes servant heard a noise proceed
from that room as Of heavy fall. She
went to the room and found DR.. Hudson
lying on the floor in the agOnies OF death.
He had been lying on the bed, from which
he fell, by which his head was slightly
bruised. Before aid could reach him life
WAS extinct. On the table in his room was
a sealed letter directed to his wife, "Mrs.
Eleanora Hudson, care of Mr.. s.. N. Davis,
Richmond, Va" The following open note
was directed to the landlady and left on
the table:
"PIease telegraph my brother, Capt. E.
M. Hudson, Camp street, New Orleans,
and he will repay you for all your kind
ness to me. DO not allow poss mo,tem
examination, as l can tell that thirty grains
cyanide of potassium, administered by my
self, is the cause of my death, Or rather
freedom from the accursed ills l cannot
bear. send the letter to my wife, &c
Have my body decently buried and my
brother will repay you. Do not by any
means let my wife's picture be taken from
my body.
Truly your friend
''Dr. E. J. HUDSON

hooyes every ones especially the feeble, to fortfy

is the preparatory medicine required, and among
medicinal agents of this character, H0STETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS stand supreme. In sue
cessf1l career of nearly quarter OF century,
the preparation has never been cquaed or ap-
nroached. and Its sales are now larger than those
of any half dozen articles, purporting to belong to
the same class that has ever been advertised In
this country. AS q remedy and preventive OF
Dyspepsia, and all its complications, 1t may be
said to have lived down competition and to be the
standard specific OF the Western Hemisphere. A

The Word COo1ie.

Most Americans and Euro
peans, who are unaequainted
with Chinese life, imagine that
the word coolie embraces in it's
meaning all the population of
the Chinese empire which is de-
voted to agriculture and the
various departments Of produc-.
tive industry. This is an err
ror. The word coolie is Ben
gall and signifies laborer, and
is not Chinese at all. 1t is
used by the populations of the
iseaboard towns, who for the
most part, speak, in common
with the foreign residents, what
is called Pigeon English, to
designate a particular class of
employees. There are 'coolie
Triggers, 'coolie carpenters,'
'coolie deck hands, 'house COO
lies &C., but they form a
separate class from the popula-
ton around them. In like
manner the word mandarin is
generally supposed in this
country and in England to be
a Chinese term, but it is not.
1t is also Pigeon English, and
is derived from the Portuguese
word Fmandar,' to command.
Being accepted by the foreign
ers of the seaboard as entirely
satisfactory, the Chinese them
selves, who take kindly to the
absurdities and facilities of the
pigeon English for the trans
action of business, have adopt
ed it into their vocabulary.-N.
