Possible suicide.

a small piece of paper. about four
Inches long, wrapped around a piece of
cork and tied with a string, was picked
up yesterday by aChinaman at the head Of
the Hen and Chickens Islands, some two
or three miles above the city. II was
floating in the water and was somewhat
discelored and faded. The Chinaman,
not being able to read it, brought the paper
to an old fisherman. On the inside was
written in a good smooth hand the fol.
lowing:
To whoever picks this up: It is my in.
t%ention this cold, bitter night to end my
life by drowning myself FIVE miles above
Memphis. Ny name ia Henry Cook, oil
Toledo, Ohio, where ] have a wife and
two children Goodbye friends. No.
vember q, 1877,
Whether this was a genuine document,
written just before Mr.. Cook plunged
into the cold, tideless waves of the I'm,
sympathetic Mississippi and gave his
body to the catfish; whether be changed
his mind on account Of the inclemency oil
the weather and the GOODNESS of the wa
ter, we are really at a loss for an opinion.
1t seems strange that a man wsuld 20 up
the river to such a remote, out.of the
way, and inaccessible place to commit
suicide wbea he could have gone straight
from q nice warm bar.room or cheap
lodging house and plunged in from q
frst-class steamboat, Or the elevator,
like a gentleman. No one but a heart.
less, selfish wretch would, contemplating
suicide, deliberately 90 out to an island
in the middle Of the river to depriVs the
coroner and county undertaken of their
legitimate fees. We will say now that if
there ever was such a man as Henry
Cook, of Toledo, and he did commit sui
eide 10 this selfish, narroW.minded fash,
ion, hat be was no loss to his family.
Bat il is singular that he dropped his
last few lines in the water instead Of
pasting them up on a tree. He did not
even hang his old clothes up on q limb
to show where he took his last plunge
bath. No such corpus hes turned up;
no coroner will ever sit on him; no UNI
dertsker dump him out in the Potters'
field.

though on the second day he had nine
pieces of linen in wash. When interro.
gated as to his baggage he said it was on
the elevator and would come up. The
hotel folks ascertained that he had no
baggage there, whereupon he invented
the story that it went up the river by
mistake on a boat. The clerk asked
him how it was that be had so many
clothes in wash, to whics he replied that
he had them all on his back; that during
the washing he vent without q shirt, but
put on a collar and buttoned bis light
fancy overcoat up close around bis neck

refused to give up his watch or overcoat

The Cabinet at Washington, Friday,
discussed the California Chinese question
at considerable length, but without arriv-
ing at any decision IN the matter. The
President has been yised fom several
sources of the condition Of aifa.,s which
may eYcntua.e in serious troubles The
feeling Is therefore entertained by the
President and members Of the CABINET
that the necessity exists for taking a
careful view Of the subject, and hence
the rather prolonged discussion. The
subject will be resumed at another meet
ing 1t is not unlikely that the Presi-
dent will at some time make tie Chinese
question the subject Of special message

promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter Of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimiiative organs of the
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffied the best Of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best phySic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgativeS, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills NAV
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-eoating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
