"IW" Levi Wilson, who became famous by hisjuit.- ag:dnst liilllp Moen, the barbed-wire manu¬facturer of Worcester, attempted to take his lite*i the Hotel Dorrance, at Providence, Saturdaynlulit, by swallowing' laudanum, lie has beenStopping at the hotel, occupying room 4vS, since hisbondsnaf u gave him up and hi.-> wlte left him lastwinter.About 9 o'clock Saturday night he entered the
ufli-e of the hotel, and after holding a few min¬utes' conversation with the clerk he took his keyand start»-d up stairs. When he entered his roombe walked dinrtly to the mantel, and, after gaz¬ing earnestly at the pictures or his wife and chil¬dren a minute or two, kissed them ami thenturned th» ir faces to the wall. He thento tic a package of letters from his coat
.ket and lifter n ailing them carefully begancry and wring his hands. A few minutes
lar.T he wert to his trunk, took out his dress-Buit, ;t clean >hirt and collar and cuffs, and laidtfcem on trie bed. II*- then read a letter he hadreceived that day from his wife and when he fln-bh.il h-' .-vii ilown and wrote a reply, also a note totfrtnye crust*, un intimate friend. After placingthe three letters on tne bed he walked back andforth a few minutes and then undressed. Hestripped to his underclothes and then went to thetill or hi> i runk, t<*»k out a small bottle and drankliscontents. A few seconds after he weut to thespeaklug-tube. gave the bell a sharp ring and toldthe clerk to come up, with the Injunction that itw;»s very important. Only a portion of the lastword, however, was uttered. The clerk suspectedscxneituw; was wrong and rushed up stairs to Wil¬son's room .md found him lying on the lloor. Wil¬son point* >1 to the bod and thru fell back, seem¬ingly dead.A young student of the t'nlverslty at NowYork volunteered his services, but Wilson's pulsegrew fainter and f.doter under his treatment. l>r.
Abbott, was then summoned, and he gave him alarge dose of Ipecac and a hypodermic injection ofatrophlne. After sevend nours' work the phys¬ician considered Wilson out of danger.The note which was ;tddressed to Mr. Cross read
as follows: '-Please see thai my suit which liesupon the bed Is put on me. and that 1 am properlydressed. You will allow my wife to visit the hoteland a** ray rem iins, if she desires."The causes which led to Wilson's attemptedsuicide are pov-rty and alienation of his wife's
affections. At a late hourSunday night Wilson wasvery weak, and all be said about his act was thatthe public would be against him, and many wouldBay that he tried to take his life so as to cover upborne crime.
The Advance of Cliolera.From the N. O. Meiliral and Surgical Journal.Step by step the cholera Is creeping through
South America, gathering force as It marches. Be¬ginning in Buenos Ayres, by the latter part of De¬cember It will have crossed the Argentine Bepub-11c and gained loothold In chill. a telegram fromPanama, dated March 9, tells us of Its ravages Inthat state, and we may catch a hint of their ex¬tent from the tart that It has already be* n pro¬posed that the "nation concede a pension to t hefamlliesof ali who may die attending cholera pa¬tients." The same authority Informs us that thepeople of the Isthmus are growing alarmed, andthat vewels from Uruguay, the Argentine Hepub-11c, Chili, and Peru are not allowed to enter thepons ofJilcaragua, Honduras, or Panama.These are serious signs, and matters of import
to otherdties than New Orleans, and other Statesbeside Louisiana. For should the plague reachthe isthmus and Mexico there will be small hopeor this city escaping, and the flood-gates of NewOrleans once passed the Mississippi Valley, andindeed the whole country, may be inundated withdisease before there Is time to realize the danger.

War talk be-gau over a we^; ago, but i^uanah Parker, chief ofUhe Comanches, not only held his own tribe in jcheck but influenced th«i better element of theKiowas. But few of this tribe would listen to hlin,and with their war taik began deprelatlonson t lie<^*ttie men.

A Pretty Political Intriguer.QCKK> Ji tTALIKS SKKAKtTlON FKOM KIVJ MILAN DC*
TO THE <4l'IU.N'S 1)AB3Ll.NO IN POLITICS.So* York Suu'« Cable Letter.The gu&^ps in Belgrade and In European court
and diplomatic circles generally are enjoying arare treat, for It Is not often they have the oppor¬tunity now offered them by the king of Servia and<4ueen Natalie, of (lis.usaing the domestic squab¬bles of a royal ooupte. The dangerous fondnessfor dabbling in politics which. In the case of theEmpress Eugenie, brought such disaster uponFrance, seems to have seized upon the queen ofServia. She & the daughter of CoL Keschko of theKus.-ian army, and, not being of royal birth, ap¬pears to have lacK-.-d taat royal pauenceaiid realg-iiAtion whii h often enables ordinary queens toU-ar everytuing, even to being driven Into thegr»ve or into a lunatic asylum. Her intriguingrelations with the Kus»ianulng party lu sorvia,at.d with in- anti-government aud anti-dynasticparty so di gu-.teu the miai^ters that they re-¦Igaed, whereupon her royal husband forbade herOt -.ldnng in podtics any mure. This started aquar-»»; that was soon aggravated by domesticm Terences, and now the queen is enUrely angry,*i.<i announces her Intention of going home toKu.s>aa to uer papa, just like any young lady fromFateraon or Bound Brook. There is no attempt toconceal the misunderstanding, and but lltUe pros-pact of its being patched up.
QUEER ARTICLES OF DIET.Sour Delicacies Found in the Chinese
and Japanese JIarkets.
From the Youth's Companion.Walking through the Chinese market in Son
Francisco one sees some very queer articles offood offered for sale.small pats of soft cheese,varnished amber brown, and stamped with Chi¬nese characters; well peeled chestnuts, with tinyslices of white cocoanut wrapped In neat littlecornucopias of glossy cabbage leaf; forty kinds ofdried nuts, fruits (whole or sliced), roots andbarks.Then there are living turtles and frogs; fowls
and fish. alive, freshly dressed and smoked ordried; meats half cooked In the carcass; wreathsof dried oysters strung on bamboo splints; aba-It ines, like black models for dolls' hats; shreds ofwhite cuttlefish, and a host of other edible curiosi¬tiesA stranger might suppose that they were simplycuriosities, like the ancient sticks of barber-polecandy exhiblt»d In the dlugy windows of acountry
grocery; or, like the hum elaborately decoratedwith geometrical puzzles in Jelly, to be admired,but on no account to be carved. Not at all. Theyan* regarded its eatable, and they are eaten.In fact the Chinese and Japanese eat everythingthat coines out of the sea. All the lishes are goodto their taste, andJire caught with great skill.
Seaweeds of several sort are sent far Into the in¬terior. to be used In thickening soaps, gravies andpuddings, and are highly prized because they givea relishing flavor of salt, which la a luxury beyondthe reach of most Chinese peasants.The use of seaweed Is almost Identical with the
very common use of "Irish moss'" by Americans inmaking toothsome dishes. But, indwd, Ashesand seaweed are eaten the world over, but surelyno other people eat the tide-flat animals swal¬lowed by the natives of Yesso. For example, themost slinply organized of the class of animals towhich '.shells" belong are called ascldlana. Theygrow sometimes singly, sometimes In clusters,and are rooted Immovably to the sandy bottom,subsisting on what the currents may bring tothem.
In Japan there Is an ascldlan (Cynthia) which Isas large as one's fist. It has no shell whatever,and Is a gray, flabby, tulip-shaped sac, supportedon a short stalk. But, In spite of Its forbiddingappearance, the Japs pickle it in vinegar and useIt food.Another animal growing between the high and
low water-marks on the Japanese coast Is a mud-worm called Sabella. It occupies a hard, limy tubeof Its own making, and gets Its food, when the hi»,-htide comes up over its aiding place, by thrustingout a head bushy with tentacles, and sucking incurrents of water loaded with minute particles ofnutriment, out of this wriggling creature theshore people make a soup, which Is true vermicelli,not a paste imitation of "little worms;'' and it Issaid to taste as badly as It smells.A better dish is made from the soft interior partsof the sea-urchin, or ec.Mrnus, large numbers of
which lurk along the rocky shores 01 the Japanesearchipelago and the northern coast of China.I have seen the liaidas and other coast Indians
of the Pacific shores of British America, devouringraw sea-urchins with great gusto, crushing themintheirfists, sucking out the orange-colored clusterof eggs, which constitute the only edible part,amounting to one or two teaspoonsful, and thenthrowing the thorny caae aside. The minute eggstaste much like oysters, and have been a favoritefood of the natives of the bleak coast of AiasKa forages.on many of the Islands of the Aleutian archipel¬
ago you may see spots dose by t he beach wherethe grass is always noticeably greener and moreluxuriant than elsewhere. When the surface soilLs removed at these spots there Is found under¬neath a layer of what seems to be greenish sandoverlying the stony or clayey soil of the Island.
It is not sand, however, but the powdered rem-nantsof sea eggs that have been thrown underfootduring unnumbered feasts. These heaps are oftentwo or three feet In thickness and cover severalacres. They were probably forming for more than1,000 years, and throughout the layer may befound some interesting stone and bone relics ofthe race which made them.
An Egyptian Funeral.STRANGE BIKIAL OF TUB DEAD IN THE COUNTRY OP
THE NILE.A funeral in Egypt Is indeed a strange sight, and
the first one the visitor sees astonishes him verymuch, says the Brookhm Magazine for April. Atthe head of the procession march a corporate bodyof the blind, and a certain number of men who pro¬ceed at a quick step, singing a most Jubilant air,while swinging themselves from right to left. Be¬hind them comes the funeral car, or rather a sortof bier, bearing a great red shawl, in which thebody is deposited. At the extremity of the bier,on a perch, is placed the turban or the tarbouebeof the defunct. Two men carry this bier. TheyfoOow with such high spirits the movement atthe head of the cortege that the corpse, rockedin every direction, seems to jump under the shawlthat shrouds it. The women bring up the rear,some on asses, some on foot. The first row 13formed of weepers, or rather screamers, who sendforth toward heaven at each step the shrillestnotes. The weepers bold In their hand a handker¬chief, with which they are not solicitous of wip¬ing their eyes perfectly dry, but which they pullby the two ends behlud their bead with a gesturettiat would be desperate U it were not droU. Onarrival at the cemetery they take the corpse fromthe bier to cast It, such as it Is, into the grave.The grand funerals, however, take place withmuch more solemnity. An Important personageis hardly dead in Kg pt before his friends and ac¬quaintances hurry to the house; during one ort wo days they eat and drink at uie expense of thedead, or rather his heirs, indulging In the noisiestdemonstrations. When the hour of the inter¬ment arrives a scene of the wildest character lsproduced. The slaves and women of the house¬hold throw themselves on the corpse and feign adetermination to hinder It from passing the thres¬hold. ThLs lugubrious traged) is played conscien¬tiously; they snatch away the comn; they belayeach other with blows, and the most violent andfrlgtitful clamor ls heard. At last the processionleaves the house and repairs to the cemetery, pre¬cede by camels loaded with victuals, which aredistributed to the poor hurrying In crowds alongthe rood. All along the road the mourners anafriends of tue family light for the honor of bearingthe bier for an Instant-and thus it passes orbounds from hand to hand amid the most frightfuldisorder. The Interment ended, every one returnsto the house of the dead to recommence the fes¬tivities, dancing, and the mortuary demonstra¬tions.

Princess Cialitzin No. 4.SHE WAS WON AT THE GAMING TABLE BT THE MUCH-
MAKK1ED NOBLEMAN.Paris Letter to Chicago Tribune.ITlnce Serge Oalltzin, they say, ls to be married
again. This will be his fourth wife, and the otherthree are all living. What a picturesque rascalPrince Seige is! Though I dont know that he isany worse t han plenty other ltusslan noblemen,Including some grand dukes. Prince Sei^ge, Indeed,oomes of an ancient and noble family, not verydistantly akin to royalty. He is also, or was, enor¬mously rich. His first wife was a Bohemian beer-garden singer. He heard her In a saloon at .Mos¬cow, took a fancy to her pretty face and marriedlier. She was pretty, certainly, and sang fairlywelL But she was of peasant birth. Ignorant andof questionable occupation, though there are someh<mest girls among saloon prune donne. Still. Ifancy she was the be> ter of the two. After a timePrince Serge /fit tlreil of her and wanted a divorce.He couldn't bring anything against her, however,to entitle iiim to it, and she declined to kickover the matrimonial traces to oblige him. So hedetermined to drive her to get a divorce from him.This he did by bringing a notorious woman intothe house and behaving toward her In the grossestmanner uuder the very eyes of his wife. As a re-suit she got a divorce from him, the ltussiau courtdecreeing thai she should retain the title of Prin¬cess OaUUin, together with the priceless OalltzinJewels and the gn at oalltzin palice at Moscow,and (haL he should not marry again. The princessis still living at Moscow with her chlldrenin wealthanu honor. But In defiance of the decree, PrinceSerge went right off and got married again, thistime to a French lady, of course the marriage wasnot legal, Out that didn't matter. He stuck to hera year and then got tired, and forced her also todivorce mm. Bui he had to pay for this divorce,too, the court decreeing her an Indemnity of$700,000. which she got and on which she ls nowuving a merry life here In Paris. A month or sol iter Prince serge picked up wife No. 3 at MonteCarlo, lie went to Italy with her in the winterand in the summer took her to one of his Kussianestates in the Tosla district. But time has staledeven her attractions, and they say he ls goingto make her divorce Mm so that he can get afourth wile. No. 4, by the way, he also got atMonte Cariu. He was m the gambling saloon therewith another Kussian prince of similar proclivi¬ties. They noticed a handsome woman at theother side of th« table. "1 would like to marryher," remarked serge. "So would I," replied hiscomrade. "Well," said Serge, "let us decide whichof us shall have her. Let us begin with 10,000rubies and play for half an hour, and the one whoat the end of that tliue has the most money sliallmarry her." "Agreed," said the other, "but let uscall her around here t*> watch the play." This wasdone and they set u> work. Both lost steadily, butPrince Serge didn't lose as rapidly as his comrade.At the end of the hall hour Serge had nearly two-thirds of his money left, while Ms friend was al¬most entirely "cleaned ouu" The lady acceptedt be conditions of the contest, and will presently,no doubt, figure as the nominal Princess Sergeoalltzin Ho. i

HOWEVER,Like everything else that has gained renown, someperson or persons are trying to take advantage of tbereputation it has gained by imitating the Name andBrand, and attempting thereby to palm off an inferiorarticle lor the genuine.
THEREFORE,Bsanre and see to it that either sacks or barrels read
