THE

Loui«ville Ledger (intensely Dem

ocratic) calls the Democratic departure "the formulated recantation of Democratic principles prescribed by VAI/LANDI&-

A COTEMPORARY, 'new departure" of

to Mr. WHITELAW REID reciting his recent illness and the cause thereof, which was not the excessive use of tobacco, but over-work. The Vice President further states that he has been subject to attacks of vertigo for several years..

•THE Philadelphia Inquirer wisely suggests that "if humanitarians would see the gallows abolished they have only so to amend our laws that the power of pardoning fairly convicted murderers shall be given to no one that a sentence for life and not for one year or five years, or until the crime has faded from men's minds in such degree that no one will eare whether the offender is in prison or out."

HAM",

calls attention to an old departure of his in 1863, we believe, when the object of his advance was Canada, and the impulse that moved him treason. It is well to revive these old memoroiea. We have no right to forget them. In the event of another war it is fair to presume that the Ohio statesman would repeat the same policy, and it is well to keep his former treachery in remembrance.

THE 1st of June was the seventieth anniversary of the many-wived BRIGHAM'S birth—threescore years and ten have passed over his venerable head, and the grasshopper has not yet become a burden The Quorum of the Twelve called upon him in his office, and presented a congratulatory address of twenty lines, which says the Deserel News, left not a dry eye in the room. "Touching scene!"—exclaims the Cincinnati Times and Chronicle,— "Twelve elders of the church weeping together. Splendid system of irrigation."

IT HAS been suggested, and, we think, with much pertinency, that "VICTOR HUGO, poet,i orator, novelist, legislator and philosopher, who, in his own eyes, has but one foible, and that is omniscience, should write a supplementary part to Ijes Miserable*, and figure himself in it as the hero. He certainly cannot just now pass for If Homme qui Bit, but he eclipses JEANS VALJEAN in the vicissitudes of his life—only, he is himself the "Inspector JAVERT," who hunts him about with such never-tiring vigilance. If he would let himself severely alone, the world would not molest him." ,'

TnE New York Herald's West Point correspondent speaks well of Cadet GRANT, declaring that he is not half so stupid as ho has been represented to be. Tn his late examination the main feature was the subject where his ability was put to real test. It was the last campaign around Vicksburg. With a map denoting merely the river courses, main roads and town sites before him, he described the campaign minutely from beginning to end, criticising correctly, according to the military principles, every movement made, pointing out the errors of' the rebels, and showing clearly how and by what means they might possibly have avoided the crushing defeat they A nally received.

SUMMERFIELD'S SECRET.

"A Million of Dollars or I'll Set the Pacific Ocean in Flames.''—The Fate of a Man who Burnt up

Mountain Lake in Fifteen Minutes —A Remarkable Story.

In the Sacramonto Daily Union of recent date appears the extraordinary statement of one Leonidas Parker, written before his death, and giving what purports to be the true account of his connection with the murder of Gregory Summerfield. The latter individual had been know for many years as "The Man with a Secret," and he met with a horrible deatli at the age of seventy years, by being pushed from the platform of a train upon the Union Pacific Railroad near the north lork of the American river, at a place called Cape Horn. The unfortunate victim was nurled down a distance of over one thousaud feet upon the bristling rocks at the foot of the declivity Parker, who was on the platform with Summerfield at the time of the catastrophe, was twice arrested and tried for the alleged murder, but was on each occasion mysteriously acquitted, once by a justice and the second time by a jury.

Packer was himself a distinguished lawyer of Sacramento, and was widely respected. He always remained silent concerning the circumstances of the imputed crime, but shortly before his death he placed in the hands of a friend document, the gist of which we give below, the entire story taking up nearly a page of the Union.

Referring to Gregory Summerfield, the murdered man, Mr. Parker speaks of him as having been one of the deepest chemical students of the age, a natural mathematician, a profound astronomer, and a man of excellent general literary attainments. Parker had known Summerfield tor over twenty years, their acquaintance having been formed in Texas during the days of the republic. Continuing his account, Parker says: "One day toward the close of last September an old man rapped at my office door, and on invitation came in, and advancing, called me by name. Perceiving that I did not at first recognize him, he idtroduced himself as Gregorv Summerfield. After inviting him to a seat I scrutinized his features more closely, I quickly identified him ss the same person whom I had met twenty-two years before. He was greatly altered in appearance, bnt there was that old charm of intellectual superiority in his conversation,and I welcomed him to California as an important addition to her mental wealth. "It was not many minutes before he requested a private interview. He followed me into my back office, carefully closed the door after him and locked it. We had scarcely seated ourselves before he inquired of me if I had noticed any recent articles in the newspapers respecting the discovery of the art of decompo* sing water so as to fit it for use as a fuel for ordinary purposes." "I replied that I had observed nothing new upon the subject since the experiments of Agassis and Professor Henry, and added that, in my opinion, the expensive mode of reduction would always prevent its use." "In a few words he then informed me that he had made the discovery that the

art was extremely simple, and the expense attending the decomposition slight as to be insignificant "Presuming that the object of his visit to me wa.« to procure the necessary forms to get out a patent for the right, I congratulated him upon his good fortune, and was about to branch forth with a description of some of the great benefits that must ensue to the community, when he suddenly and somewhat uncivily requested me to "be silent" and listen to what he had to say." "He began with some genoral remarks about the inequality of fortune amongst mankind, aud instanced himself as a striking example of the fate of those men who, according to all the rules of right, ought to be near the top, instead of at the loot of the ladder of fortune. 'But,' said he, springing to his feet with impulsive energy, 'I have now the means at my command of rising superior to fate, or of inflicting incalculable ills upon the whole human race.' "Looking at him more closely, I thought I could detect in his eye the gleam of madness but I remained silent and awaited further developments. But my scrutiny, stolen as it was, had been detected, and he replied at once to the expression of my face: 'No, sir I am neither drunk nor a maniac I am in deep earnest in all that I say and I am fully prepared, by actual experiment, to demonstrate beyond all doubt the ti'uth of all

I elaim.' For the first time noticed that he carried a small portmanteau in his hand this he placed upon the table, unlocked it, and took out two or three small volumes, a pamphlet or two, a small, sqnare, wide-mouthed phial hermetically sealed. "I watched him with profound curios ity, and took note of his slightest movements. Having arranged his books to suit him, and'placed the phial in a conspicuous position, he drew up his chair closely to my own, and uttered, in a half hissing tone: 'I demand one million dollars for the contents of that bottle and you must raise it for me in the city of San Francis co within one month, or scenes' too terrible even for the imagination to con ceive, will surely be witnessed by every living human being on the face of the globe.' "The tone, the manner, and the absurd extravagance of the demand, excited faint smile upon my lips, which he observed, but disdained to notice. "My mind was fully made up that had a maniac to deal with-, and I prepar ed to act accordingly. But I ascertained at once that my inmost thoughts were read by the remarkable man before me, and seemed to be anticipated by him advance of their expression. "'Perhaps,' said I, 'Mr. Summerfield you would oblige me by informing me fully of the grounds of your claim and the nature of your discovery,' 'That is the object of my visit, he replied. 'I claim to have discovered the key which unlocks the constituent gase9 of water, and frees each from the embrace of tho other, at a single tonch.' 'You mean to assert,' I rejoined, 'that you can make water burn itself up?' 'Nothing more nor less,' he respond ed, 'except this—to insist upon the con sequences of the secret, if my demand be not at once complied with.' 'Now, suppose I fling the contents of this small phial into the Pactfic Ocean what would be the result? Dare you contemplate it for an instant? I do not assert that the entire surface of the sea would instantaneously bubble up into insufferable flames no, but from the nucleus of a circle, of which this phial would be the center, lurid radii of flames would gradully shoot outward, until the blazing circumference-would roll in vast billows of fire, upon the uppermost shores. Not all the dripping clouds of the deluge could extinguish it nor all the tears of saints and angels could for an instant check its progress. Onward and onward it would sweep, with the steady gait of destiny, until the continents would melt with fervent heat, the atmosphere glare with the ominous conflagration and all living creatures—in land, and sea, and air—perish in one universal ca tastrophe.' "Then, suddenly starting to his feet he drew himself to his full height, and murmured solemnly' 'I feel like a God! and recognize my fellow men but as pig mies that I spurn beneath my feet.'

At this Parker states that heattempted to reason with Summerfield upon the absurdity of believing that he held in his hands power so mighty, at which the latter retorted with quotations from the Scripture, Humbold's 'Cosmos,' and the works of famous astronomical writers, proving that it was npt only possible for entire planets to be destroyed by fire, but that such terrible events had actually occurred.. This answer concluded, he handed barker a small phial, requesting him to open it and smell of its contents the result being that a strong odor of potassium was observed. At this Summerfield continued, "Of course," said he "you are familiar with the characteristic of that substance. It ignites instantly when brought into contact with water With that little globule of potassium I have imbedded a pill of my own composition and discovery. The moment it is liberated from the potassium it commences the work of decomposing the fluid on which it floats. The potassium at once ignites the liberated oxygen, and the conflagration of this mighty globe is begun."

Yes,' said I, 'begun, if you plea3e, but your little pill soon evaporates or sinks, or melts in the surrounding seas, and your conflagration ends just where it began.' 'But,' sneered he, 'the elementary substances in that small phial recreate themselves they are self-generating, and when once fairly under way, must necessarily sweep onward, until the waters in all the seas are exhausted.' "Rising from my seat, I went to the washstand in the corner ot the apartment, and drawing a bowl full of Spring Valley water, I turned to Summerfield and remarked, 'Words are empty, theories are ideal—but facts are things.' "I take you at your word." So saying he approached the bowl, emptied it of nine-tenths of its contents, and silently dropped the potassium-coated pill into the liquid. The potassium danced around the edges of the vessel, fuming, hissing and blazing, as. it always does, $nd seemed on the point of expiring, when to my asUyiishment and alarm a sharp explosion took place, and in a second of time the water was blazing in a red, lurid column half way to the ceiling. "For God's sake," I cried, "extinguish the flames or we shall set the building on fire!" "Had I dropped the potassium into the bowl as you prepared it," he quietly remarked, "the building would indeed have been consumed." Lower and lower fell the flickering flames, paler and paler grew the blaze, until finally the fire went out, and I rushed up to see t,he effect of the combustion. "Not a drop of water remained in the vessel! Astonished beyond measure at what I had witnessed, and terrified almost to the verse of insanity, I approach-

Summerfield and tremblingly

ed Summerfield and tremblingly inquired: 'To whom, sir, is this terrible secret known?' 'To myself alone,' he responded 'and now answer me|a question, is it worth the money?" "It is certainly unnessary to relate in detail the subsequent events connected with the transaction. I would only add a general statement, showing the result of my negotiation- Having fully satisfied myself that Summerfied held in his hands the fate of the whole world, with its millions of hnman beings, and by experiment havin tested the combustion of sea water, with equal facility taa fresh, I next deemed it my doty to oaUt the attention

K-,

of a few of the principal men in San Francisco to the extreme importance of Summerfield's discovery. "A leading banker, a bishop, a chemist, two State University professors, a physician, a judge, and two Protestant divines were selected by me to witness

the was

This

experiment on a lane scale. done at a small sand bill lake near the eea shore, bnt separated from it by a ridge of lofty mountains, distant not more than ten miles from San Francisco. Every single drop of water was burnt up in less than fifteen minutes. We next did all we could to pacify Summerfield, and endeavored to induce him to lowfef his price and bring it within the bounds of a reasonable possibility. But without avail, he began to grow urgent in his demands. The sub-committe soon commenced work amongst the wealthiest citizens of San Francisco, and by appealing to the terrors of a few and the sympathies of all, succeeded in raising one-half the amount within the prescribed period. I shall never fotget the woe-begone faces of California street during the month of October. The outside world and ,the newspapers spoke most learnedly of a money panic—a pressure in business, and the disturbances in the New York gold room.

But to the initiated there was an easiej solution of the enigma. The pale spectre of death looked down upon them all, and pointed with his bony finger to the fiery tomb of the whole race, already looming up in the distance before them. Day after day, I could see the dreadful ravages of this secret horror doubly terrible, since they dared not divulge it?) Still, do all that we could, the money could not be obtained. The day prece^ ding the last one given Summerfield was summoned before the committee, and fall information given him of the state of affairs. Obdurate, hard and cruel he still continued. Finally, a proposition was started that an attempt should be made to raise the other half of the money in the city of New York. To this proposition Summerfield finally yielded but with extreme reluctance. It was agreed in committee that I should ac company him thither, and take with me, in mv own possession, evidences of the snmsr subscribed here that a proper appeal should be made to the leading tiapi talists, scholars and clergymen of the metropolis and that, when the whole amount was raised, it should be paid over to Summerfield, and a bond taken from him never to divulge his awful -secret to any human being "With this he seemed to be. satisfied, and left us to prepare for his going the next morning. "As soon as he left the apartment, the

Bishop arose, and 'deprecated the action that had been taken and characterized it as childish and absurd.' He declared that no man was safe one moment while that diabolical wretch still lived that the only safety for us all was his imme diate extirpation from the face of the earth, and that no amount of money could seal his lips or close his hands. It would be no harm, he said, to deprive him of the means of assassinating the whole human family, and that as for himself, he was for dooming him to im mediate death. "With a unanimity that was extraor dinary the entire committee coincided. "A great many plans were proposed discussed, and rejected, having in view the extermination of Summerfield. In them all there was the want of that proper caution which would lull the appre hension of an enemy, for should he for an instant suspect treachery we knew his nature well enough to be satisfied that he would waive all ceremonies and carry, his threats into immediate exe cution. "It was finally resolved that the trip to New York should not be abandoned, apparently. But that we were to start out in accordance with the original programme that during the journey, some proper means should be resorted to by me to carry out the final intentions of the committee, and that whatever I did should be sanctioned by them all, and full protection, both by law and conscience, afforded me in any stage of the proceed ings.

Nothing was wanting but my own con sent. I asked the privilege of medita tion for one hour, at the hands of the committee, before I would render a decision either way. During that re cess, the above argumentation occupied my thoughts. The time expired, and I again presented myself before them. I did not deem it requisite to state the grounds of my decision I briefly signified my assent, and made instant preparations to carry the plan to execution. "Having passed on the line of the Pacific railway more than once, I was perfectly familiar with all of its windings, gorges and precipices. "I selected Cape Horn as the best adapted to the purpose, and

0 9

the public knows the rest. "Having been fully committed by two tribunals of the law, I make this final appeal to my fellow men throughout the State, and ask them confidently not to reverse the judgment already pronounced."
