certi6es that he is duly naturalized citi-
zen Of the United States made so in the
year 1857. He admits that he brought to
Robinson letter of introduction repre-
senting himself as the agent authorized to
| act for the bondholders in Frankfort, Ger
many, and also acknowledges that the pur-
pose of these bondholders was to secure a
foreclosure of the mortgage of the railroad
at the earliest possible day. He showed
| to Robinson his power of attorney from the
committee in Frankfort, and Robinson in
formed him that he would give all the
necessary assistance toward the fOreclo-
sure proceedings; that there would be a
hard fight but plenty of assistance was to
be found in Rock Island; that the prevail

to get rid of the tyrannical ring of the Ca
bic party, and that all that was needed to
put it through was sufficient pluck. Os-
terberg answered to this, that all would
be done by him to obtain justice for the
bondholders he represented, and that there
need be no fear on the part of these other

made; thatRobinson assisted him in pro-

This standard periodical, now over thir-
ty-three years old, doubtless affords the
most comprehensive and, all things con-
sidered, the cheapest means OF keeping
we'll informed in the best literature Of
the day. To this fact, more generally
recognized every year, may be attributed
its continued and increasing success. Z
The ablest living writer's in science,
fiction, history, biography, philosophy,
poetry, theology, politics, criticism and
art, are represented in It's pages. A list
OF some OF them will be found in the
prospectus published in another column,
aifording sufficient evidence oil the
quality Of the magazine, while in quanti-
~ Of reading it is unapproached by any
other periodical. tl
It 10, in short, the only thorough COM
pilation OF an indispensable current lit
erature.-Indispensable because it em-
braces the work OF the foremost writer's
upon all topics Of living interest; and as
such, It's importance and convenience TO
every American reader can hardly be
over estimated. It has always ranked
as chief among the eclectics; it has alb.
sofbed 1t competitor, Every Saturday"
and in the multitude Of quarterlies,
monthlies and weoklies, it can hardly
be dispensed with by any person or family

permanent value in the literary world.

erature. Our readers who are selecting

SO cheaply or conveniently 40 much OF
the best work Of the best minds Of the
