HERE TOO,

There was slight disturbance among
the high officials of the Treasury De
partment, at Washington, last week, occa-
stoned by the belief that Mr.. Sonnemann
the well-known member of the German
Parliament and editor Of the prominent
financial paper of Frankfort was in that
city. This we learn from the New York
Sunday Times, commenting as follows:
"One high official insisted, however, that
the member of Parliament and editor of
the well known Frankfort financial paper
had called on him, and only after long ex-
plantations it came out that not Mr.. Some
mann, but a certain Mr.. Osterberg. had
rendered Washington unsafe by his pres
ence. He had introduced himself at the
different bureaus in such vague manner
as editor OF the prominent financial pa
per, etc, that he had been taken by every
body for Mr.. Sonnemann, and on his part
nothing had been done to explain the mis-
take. When the high officials became
aware that they had taken the intimate
friend OF Boss Tweed for the editor of the
Frankfort Zeit,mg, lhey gave expression to
their disgust in words that were more
strong than elegant.
Our readers know who this fellow Oster-
berg is, for we have published several arti-
cles in relation to his pretended mission
from Germany to this country as the rep
resentative of bondholders in the Rockford
r. r. He was formerly a resident of New
York, and went over to Frankfort to try
and do what he failed to do in New York
get money without rendering an equiva-
lent. lie was here yesterday, at the Har-
| per House, and made a short call at the
| headquarters of the Rockford road, having
got himself appointed as agent Of a very
few of the bondholders He has neither
the ability or the position to do them any
| good-and he represents but mere frac-
ton of them, anyway. A man who would
send off from NeF York, TO go through all
the newspapers of this country, such tele-
grams as he did about his mission, etc.,
calculated to do great injury to the road 4;
and pompously ordering Mr.. Gable to come
down to New York and make up an agreed
case by which the Rockford was to be turn
ed over to him, possesses too little sense to
do anybody any good or hurt. Mr.. Gable
didn't run to New York at his bidding, and
so he run out here-and accomplished moth
ing. But his allowing it to be understood
in official circles at Washington that he was
Mr.. Sonnemlnn, really great fnancier, is
too funny for anything The few people in
Germany who sent Osterberg over here
will have to pay him nice little bill for
nothing. Adieu, Osterberg

Left MARKS Of Rlnnd-

Dimick's stables, inside the fair ground,
have occasionally been robbed of pieces of
harness. and few nights ago the keeper
believed there were persons in the grounds
and he went up to Dimick' house to tell
him that he had no arms and toknow what
he should do. Dimick furnished him
arms and told him to shoot anybody he
found trying to get in or found robbing the
stables. Last night the keeper, McClary,
heard two fellows trying to effect an en-
trance over a temporary shed by the fence,
and fired at them. Just then the shed
broke down and the fellows escaped, but
they left plenty of blood marks on the
tumbled down shed-whether from the
shot is not known, but it is hardly proba-
Die that McClary will be bothered with
those fellows again. He intends to put a
hole through the first sneak thief found on
the premises.

SUCCESS BASED UPON MERIT.

1t is a subject of general remark, among
both wholesale and retail druggists, that
no medicine introduced to the American
public has ever gained such popularity
and met with such large sales in all parts
Of the land, in the same length of time,
as DIR. Pierce Golden Medical Discovery.
This cannot depend upon its. having been
more largely advertised than arv other
medicine, as such is not the case The
correct explanation, we think, is found in
the fact that this medicine produces the
most wonderful and perfect cures Of very
bad cases Of bronchial, throat and lung
diseases, is undoubtedly the most perfect
and efficient remedy for all kinds Of coughs
that has ever been introduced to the pub
lie, and at the same time possesses the
greatest Of blood-puritying and strength
ening properties that medical science has
beeu able to produce, thus rendering it a
sovereign remedy not only in the cure of
consumption, bronchitis. hoarseness and
coughs, but also for all diseases of the liv-
er and the blood as scr0fulous diseases.
blotches. rough skin. pimples, black specks
and discoloration. 1t has therefore a wide
range Of application and usefulness, and it
not only gives the most perfect satisfaction
/ 10 an VINO use H. out Tar exceeds the eX-
pectations Of the most sanguine thus elic
iting the loudcst praise, and making perfect
/ ljUiag advertising mediums of all who use
/ it. For these reasons it is that there is
not perhaps druggist in all the vast do
main Of this Continent, who tries to please
his customers and supply their wants, that
does not keep and sell large quantities OF
| this most valuable medicine.

Frightened into Insanity.

The Clinton Heraid, Of the Dist. inst,
says: One light recently young Irish
girl named Dorsey, employed in the ca
pacity of servant in the Stocker House, in
Lyons, was awakened by a noise at her
bedroom door, the sound proceeding from
an attempt Of the night porter to open the
door, he having mistaken the room for one
unoccupied, and wishing to admit a stran-
ger who had arrived late at the hotel. The
girl reused up suddenly and not catching
the sound distinctly, hurriedly awoke a
companion aud huarsely whispered to the
latter that there was IA man under the
bed. Then without waiting to say any
more, the frightened girl leaned from the
bed and jumped out OF the window, which
was in the second story, to the ground be
low. Happily she was not injured by the
fall. The other girl was by this time
awake, and slipping on dress. she pro-
ceeded down stairs and found Miss Dorsey
The clerk had by this time discovered his
mistake and disposed Of his guest and the
frightened girl was persuaded to return to
her room. But she was hopelessly insane,
and has not since recovered her mental
equilibrium. The following day she was
found to be crazy, and was removed by
her friends to Mercy Hospital in Daven-
port, where she has been placed in good
hands, and will doubtless soon recover
from her malady.
