A Strange Vagary.

couple of letters from Albert White, NJ. D.,
who imagines that he has discovered a won
derful method of communicating between diff
ferent parts of the earth and with the differ.
ent spheres, by a sort of invisible mental tele-
graph. The following is one of the letters:
LA GRANGE Stanslaus Co.,
California.
DEAR Sm:-Some years ago my mind was
led to probe the deep mysteries of phioso-
ply, and especially of those things pertain
ing to the dispensation of the latter day glory.
l soon discovered that the world was still
cropping as in the darkness of heathenism. l
discovered that electricity was uot only elec-
trcal, but as strictly intellectual as men in
the body. l made the inquiry if could not
run an erial communication as from me to
the people of other continents and in other
worlds and universes. Its answer was in the
affirmative. | therefore tried the experiment
as with people of distant nations and of other
worlds, to my entire satisfaction. l then
wrote to the Congress of the Nations, claim
| ing to be the original dscoverer, as was con-
ceded by heaven f.; and claiming their protec
ton and intercession in my behalf l also
wrote to the Patent Office, at Washington: /
have the reply, but it is, as think, indirect
| u
of Congress to the letter written to the Pa
tent Office, | wrote to two of the honorable
Senators, desiring them to intercede in nv
behalf, and secure to me the rghtful discove
ry and all the benefits accruing therefrom-
to me and my children. Neither from these
two Senators nor from the Congress of Ma
tions have | received a reply.
l have done much to perfect this ntellee-
tual telegraph that knows no obstacle and
annihilates all space With it l can converse
with the North Star or any distant planet as
well as with people in our own earth. This
| telegraph gently eleetriies the lips and
tongue, and tells you what to write, and is
perfectly reliable.
l have discovered n method of travelling in
safety to any orbit in the heavens
Any one wishing to test the validity of DR..
Albert Whites electrical telegraph can con-
gregate at any appointed place, upon any
appointed hour, and call for Doctor Albert
Whites electro magnetic telegraph, and add,
for nothing else and it will touch your lips,
saying what will you have of me2
There are some gentlemen in the city with
whom | have dealt, and can ask such ques-
tions and receive such answers as will enable
them to assure others of its truthfulness and
availability for any part of the earth.
L have studied long and hard, and have
done much to bring truth and Immortality to
light And if there are any gentlemen in
your city, or in Sacramento, or in Stockton,
or elsewhere, that feel the impulses ola CRATE
full heart for the greatest discovery ever made
since the morning stars sang together, they
can manifest their gratitude by sending to
my address, at Lagrange, such sureties, or
presents, or drafts, or monies, as to them may
be freewll offering.
little assistance, according to the gener-
osity of men of wealth and business, and of
public spirit, would materially assist me at
this present time, and enable me to do a still
greater good to the world.
Men of California! men of all landsl what
kingdom, or nation, or State can boast of be.
ing the State in which He resided, who dis
covered the intellectual electrical magnetic
telegraph of Heaven?
ALBERT WHITE NJ. D.
His next letter requests the Telegram to
lay before the legislature his system and ex-
presses the expectation that that body will
remunerate him for the discovery, for the
privilege of making use of it.
We recolect receiving letter, several
months ago we think an anonymous one, in
forming us that this discovery had been made
and requesting us to notice it in the paper
We looked upon it as hoax and paid no at
tention to it. Very likely Albert White, NJ
d., was our correspondent. The writer sta
ted to us also that he had discovered
method by which, by the mere act of his will,
he could strike a man dead at the distance of
several hundred miles. He said that he could
lay uS out, while seated at our table, if he
saw fit Whether this was done to frighten
us into compliance with his request that we
should publish his discovery or not we can
not say. At any rate, we thought some one
was making very silly attempt at hoax or
joke, and dismissed the matter from our
mind. Probably we would never have
thought of it again, had it not been for the
publication of the letters in the Telegram.
