INTERVIEWING GEN. SHERMAN.
Tae Warriors Different Tr. atment of Two
Applications for Audiences.
Cincinnati Enquirer.


A representative of the Enquirer
entered the office of the Grand Ho-
tel yesterday evening, just as a
handsome carriage stopped in front
of the entrance. The Enquirer am
bassador was on his way to inter-
view General Sherman, who was
quartered at the hotel. The car.
riage contained young lady, who,
as it appeared from subsequent de.
velopments, had called TO invite
the General to attend soiree at
her mothers r, sidence. The foot.
man from the carriage brought in
the young lady's invitation, hand
ed 1t to the clerk, and 1T was sent
up to the Generals room, No. 12S,
on the same tray with the gilt
edged card bearing the honored
name of the Enquirer man. There
was an interval of awful suspense
on the part of the scribe, while the
footman, with his brass buttons and
white gloves, shared even worse
fate. The boy returned with two
cards from General Sherman. They
were handed to the clerk. who
passed them Overcome to the re-
porter and the other to the foot
man-while he gave the paste dia-
mond stud in his shirt front another
twirl. The reporter read the card
that had been handed to him,
while his hair stood on end, as fol-
lows:
"Regret exceedingly that 1 can't
come. Give my love to your
mother and assure her that l have
not forgotten old times. Hope the
soiree will be success and Pm
sure it will be. Pardon the with
cicism when 1 say that yours truly
Is very Soiree he can't be present.
w. L. 81
"To Miss Blauch Blank"
Great drops of perspiration stood
on the reporters massive brow and
dropped from his intellectual nose.
Jusc as he realized that there was O
mistake, a wild shrek came from
the carriage at the sidewalk, and
the lady who had received the other
message fell fainting on the back
seat, while the coachman whipped
off in the direction of drugstore.
AS the carriage whirled away O
card bearing the following rude in
scription dropped from the lady's
nerveless hand and fluttered to the
ground:
"Go to HI. What do care
about the army, the Chinese bill.
the coolie trade, the Presidential
question or any other id ques-
tion! Never heard of a man named
Tilden, and don't want to, but l re-
gard him as horse-thief OF the
deepest dye. Again / say, as said
in the beginning, go there thyself
w. Il. S."
When the card was read aloud to
the crowd they knit their brows
and threatened to tear the Grand
Hotel down over the head of the
miscreant who sent it, even If he
was at the head of the army.

Fish as Brain Food.

siuSe during the acts of sensation and
intellection phog3hnrus is consumed in the
brain and nervous system, there arises
a necessity to restore the portions &C con-
sumed, or, as the popular expression is,
to use brain food Now, as everyone
knows. it is the property of phosphorus to
shine in the dark; and rs fsh in a certain
stage of putrefactlVe decay often emit
light, or become phosphorescent, it has
been thought that this is due to the abuud-
ance of phosphorus their flesh contains,
and hence that they are eminently suitable
for the nourishment of the nervous systeu,
and are an invaluable brain food. Under
that idea many persons resort to a diet
of fish. and persuade themselves that they
derive advantage from it in an increased
vividHess of thought, signal improvement
in the reasoning powers. But the flesh of
fish contains no excess of phosphorus, nor
does its shining depend 90 SLst element,
Decaying willow wood shines even mora
brilliantly than decayiDg fish; it may
sometimes be discerned afar off at night.
The shining in the two gases is due to the
same cause.-the oxidation Of carbon, not
of phosphorus. in organic substances con-
tanning, perhaps, not q perceptible trace
of the latter element. Yet surely no one
found himself rising to poetieal feryor by
tasting decayiRg willow TooG. though 1t
ought, on these principles, to be better
brain food than much larger quantity of
fish.-Dr. j. W. Draper, in HGrpers'

Osterberg,

II. Osterberg, whose connection with
the Rockford Railroad, or rather the St.
Louis, Rock Island & Chicago, has turned
up again, this time as one of the projectors
Of ship canal across the state of Florida.
The unsavory record of Osterberg still re-
mains fresh with the Rock Island people,
and we can safely say that, if the proposed
Florida lesnal is an Osterberg scheme, or
one In which he will figure as manager or
In any other prominent aud controlling
position-then it is better to leave the
project severely alone. Osterberg will
ruin anything he undertakes and crush
any corporation he handles. The Boards
town WinoiGa says:
"Osterberg will be remembered as the
party who, while the agent Of the German
bondhOlders of the Rockford road Invested
some 100000 of the funds OF the road in
my brothers shirt factory in New York "
Osterberg is schemer, and was so
thoroughly exposed 10 The ARGUS. that
ne was forced to fee the town for the ben
EFT of his freedom and the success of the
road he professed to manage. THE ARGUS
advises all parties to. steer clear of any
schemes which directly or indirectly are
of Osterberg origin.

DOCTORS.

From the Decatur Review
No men are more needed by civilized
community, are more called into requisi-
ton, or are treated with more ingratitude
and vltuperation than doctors. No men,
excepting monks and missionaries, give
more of their time away gratuitously. IF
a man is sick he runs to or sends for a
doctor, and the latter would then do we'll
If be would then collect the fee while the
patient is feeling the pain. But the pain
over and the physician dismissed, remem-
brance, both of the malady aud cure,
fades away from the patients mind, and
the only time he thinks of his physician is
when the bill comes in, This he is sure
to find too large. He wants it cut down.
He can never pay SO exorbitant charge.
he 10 CERTAIN that he should have got we'll
if he had bsea lett to himself Physicians,
anyhow, are humbugs. thus saith the con-
valescent.
Well, some physicians are humtugs,
thoroughly, but a man of intelligence
ought to be able to discern between the
true aud the false. and to place himself 10
proper hands. But while there are some
of the fraternity. who would be better
doing anything else than sitting in the
physicians chair, there are others who
are not only great lights 10 their vocation
! but who are possessed of the sweetest, the
lkindest and most geleroEs natures. who
factually give away, upon occasion. ad.
vice that is valuable, and who have the
patience, and long suffering and the ten
der mercy of god. The physician has
/ that advantage over the minister-he
does not profess to be divinely called. or tC
be indifferent to money-making. TIE
clergy is handicapped from the beginning
| by these untrue and sometimes .insincere
claims, for we all know many clergymer
had better have been cobblers, and that

While admitting that there are bad and
unqualified, and unconscientious doctors
it must not be forgotten that patients. as 6
