THE POLICEMAN WHO ARRESTED a SLrgP-
ING 1nFAsr.-On last Monday night week il
will be remembered, policeman Doyle arrested
little boy, namea Earnest Murete', on the
charge OF stealing nine eggs from a IN named
Butnbam, who lives IN a shanty in the White
Lot The prisoner was a mere child, said to be
bit five and a half years Old, and when the fac ~
became known tie pnblic were mach excited
ahout the outrage, as they well might nc.
The child was taken out of bed whsIe it wa
sleeping by DOYLE, and was then kept at the
statiOI-hOuse all night, on a table, from whence
II was next morning taken 10 the Police Court
when Judge Smell promptly dismissed the case
DOYLE said the warrant Was placed in his hands
IN the Police Court, and he was informed that
the boy was bad ore, and the only time to find
him at home was at night; that he went there
twice, and sfter seeing the child felt some
doubts as to the proper course to pursue aud
aSked his partner, Officer T. A. Clements what
course 10 pursue. Clements replied that il
being United States case, he did not see any
course but to serve 1t; and further, he (DoyIe)
thought the child was seven years of age and q
tt subject for the Reform School. Yesterday
the case OF Doyle was before Commissioner
Crsigen, of the Police Board and quite mum.
Der of witnesses we're examined on each side
and the child in question was present Mr.
Craigen's report in the case will be acted on by
the board this afternoon. The President has
very properly directed Mr.. Mullett, Architect

Some ingenious Californian tells this marvel
lous story:
Some time ago man named Gregory Sum-
merfield was murdered by being pushed from
the platform of a car on the Union Pacific rail-
road at Cape Horn, and falling down thou
sand feet on to the rocks below. Summerfield
was a man of extraordinary literary and scien-
tific attainments, and was always known before
his death as "the man with a secret" The
only person on the platform with him when he
was thrust down the precipice was Leonidas
Parker, a Sacramento lawyer of talent and eX-
cellent reputation. He was twice tried for the
murder, and each time mysteriously acquitted.
Recently he died, but left behind him an eX-
PLANTATION of the whole transaction. A short
time before Summerted's death he came into
Parker's Office, that being his first appearance in
Sacramento for number of years, and told him
that he had fathomed the mighty secret of
making water burn by means of a preparation
of potassium, which would separate the parti-
cles and ignite the liberated oxygen, thus ere
ating and recreating its own force, and proceed
ing until all the particles were destroyed. Pos
sessed of this terrible power, he demanded
S1,000,000 to be raised in San Francisco, or he
would set the Pacific ocean on fire, and let
the world take the consequences. Parker
thought himself dealing with lunatic
and treated the matter disdainfully, but
offered to try one of his potassium pills in a
wash bowl of water, which skipped and Missed
around as il always does, and seemed about to
expire, when a sharp explosion took place, and,
TO bis surprise, the liquid blazed in lCrid flames
! to the ceiling until every drop was consumed.
Deeming this worth considering he impaired the
discovery with Summerfeld's condition, to a
leading banker, "a bishop, a chemist, two state uni
versity professors, physician, judge, and two
Protestant divines, who with himself witnessed
the experiment on grand scale in mountain
lake ten miles from San Francisco. In Is minutes
every drop of water in the pool was consumed,
and the committee became alarmed while Sum-
merfeld became importunate. Only half mil
lion could be raised at San Francisco, and some
thing must be done or the Pacific ocean would
roll pillows Of flame instead of water. 1t was
proposed to attempt subscriptions in New York,
when the bishop rose and said that all that was
child's play; that nothing would satisfy the
wretch and determination was, under the cir
cumstances, justifable. All conceded, and
Parker, who knew the georges and windings OF
the Pacific road, was chosen as humanity's |
avenging angel. In the conclusion of his docu-
ment, he says: selected Cape Horn as the best
adapted to the purpose, and
the public knows the rest. Having been fully
acquitted by two tribunals of the law, make
this final appeal to my fellow men throughout the
state, and ask them confidently not to reverse
the judgment already pronounced.

dispatch to New York Evening Post,

dispatch to New York Evening Post, June l0.l
Reference has heretofore been made in these
dispatches to the unfriendly personal relations
existing between Secretary Fish and Mr.. Cata-
cazy, the Russian minister.
The cause which led to this arrangement is
well known to have found its origin in a letter
written by Mr.. Catacazy to his government, in
which the secretary of state is alluded to in
most insulting manner. This letter found its
way into the state department and the hands of
President Grant, and when Mr.. CatacaZy's at
tention was called to it he pronounced it a
forgery, but subsequently stated that he had
written paper similar to the one on file in the
state department, which had been distracted
from his desk and had not been forwarded by
him to the Russian government.
The fact that such document was on file at
the state department was made public soon
after being placed there; but attempts to get a
copy proved fruitless. Your correspondent has
been placed in possession of copy of letter
alleged to have been written by Mr.. Catacazy
under the date of February II, 1870, and as
present relations between the secretary of state
and the Russian minister have been subject to
much comment, such portions of the letter as
refer to Mr.. Fish are of general interest.
The disputed letter is written with reference
to the celebrated Perkins claim, and after al
leging that the most disreputable men in
America were engaged in pushing the claim by
resortiug to brides to command the influence of
CoHgTtssueu anu me newspaper press IL pro-
ceeds as follOws:-
Whatever the American minister of state
may choose to say at this iuncture it is, never
theless, an incontrovertible fact that when the
subject of Perkins's fraud was firstkintroduced
between us he not only exhibited great aver
sion to discuss the matter, but distinctly gave
me to understand he had no confidence in the
validity of the claim, and even referred me to
his son-in-law, a lawyer Of eminence in New
York, as an adviser to assist me in getting up
evidence necessary to defeat the schemes of the
unprincipled SPECTATORS. 1t was only at a very
late period that Mr.. Fish, who is a very weak
and vaceiating man, evinced disposition to
change his tactics by addressing note to this
imperial legation, daring to propose arbitration
in regard to matter which few weeks before
he had himself pronounced unworthy of seri-
GUS consideration. In view of the original atti-
tude ofthe minister of state, an attitude main
tanned in the course of many interviews, during
which he gave indications of unbounded sym.
pathy with the view advanced by the unworthy
representative of his majesty this last communi-
cation from the foreign Office may be looked
upon as piece of sublime impertnence, and as
such have purposely abstained from replying

lican, which seems to have the latest intelligence
on the subject, says that this gentleman's
name is Blackford. Precisely who he is these
authorities do not appear to know, at any rate
they do not tell. Perhaps it will turn out, as
was generally understood at first, that Mr. Black
fan is the man after all. The Nation, which,
since the retirement of Secretary Cox ana Mr..
Wells, considers all persons holding office under
the United States government knaves or fools,
most of them combining both characters, prob
ably thinks it of no sort of consequence to iden-
tify this one among the other rascals, and very
likely takes malicious pleasure in calling him
out of his name" to show its contempt for him
and the class to which helhas the guilt as well
as the misfortune TO belong.

SOUTHERN RAILROAD ExTRNsIoN.-The new era
of prosperity and increased production at the south
will demand greatly extended railway communica-
ton between the agricultural districts and the ship
ping ports. Especially is the want of adequate
transportation facilities felt by the people of Texas
They have an enormous and exceedingly fertile
state with capacity for cotton, grain, and cattle.
raising that hardly be estimated, but to reach
New Orleans there has been but one route and that
by coastwise navigation, which, at the best, has
been tedious, and is often dangerous. The northern
capitalists have at length taken in hand the work OF
building trunk line of railroad, which will con-
meet the two great commercial cities of the Gulf
Mobile and New Orleans-and give direct line
from the latter city to Houston, Texas OF the
whole line of 45 miles, about 225 have been already
built from Mobile westward, and los miles in Texas
from Houston to the Sabine River, has also been
built. On the Louisiana division of226 miles, about
IS miles are built, leaving but about 40 miles to
complete the whole line. To do this work has taken
large capital and the stockholders of the company
reported to have paid out in the construction of
the road, notices. than 100000 before asking the
public to loan money upon any sort of promise to
pay. Having done so much themselves, the compa-
ny now issue bonds upon the Louisiana division
the most important part Of the whole line-which
are thoroughly secured both by the certain pro-
spective business of the road and the large amount
above noted, which has already been invested in the
work. The bonds are of two classes: first mort
cages to the very small amount of Sl2500 per mile
ana second mortgages TO an equal amount, Doth
principal and interest guaranteed by the rich state
of Louisiana.
The bonds are offered, for the present, at 90 and
accrued interest in currency They pay interest at
the rate of per cent currency, per cent gold
payable semi-annually, in January and July. The
holder can take his choice at every separate coupon
day whether to take currency or gold interest, so
that if gold is temporarily high at such time he
have the advantage of the premium.
The company embraces many of the strongest
capitalists of the NORTH and the negotiation of the
ponds Is IN the hands of Mr.. W. b. Shattuck, whose
marked success in promoting the government loans
the Union Pacific and Central Iowa railway secur-
ties, and other large financial enterprises, has prov

At the price named these bonds pay very largely
In excess of governments, and the figures given in
the company's pamphlet show that these eight per
cent currency bonds are much more profitable, at
the same price, than seven per cent gold bonds

Victor Hugo's manifesto, published in Belgi-
UNI in behalf of the defeated communists, has
now reached this country. 1t urges two points
which very naturally engaged the attention of
the Belgian government. In the first place, he
defended the red miscreants of Paris in this way:
Savage acts, being unconscious, are not crimi.
nal acts. Demency is a disease, not a crime"
In the second place, he declared in the manifesto
that he would shelter fugitive communists in his
house at Brussels, and defend them against ar.
rest. He added:-'T defy whomsoever If he n
tear him from il, " and "the Belgian government
will be against me, but the Belgian people will
be with me-" This did not promise preserva-
ton of order in Brussels, where fugitive bands
of reds might at any time appear and make a
stand, supported by kindred destructives in that
city. Therefore, NJ. Hugo has found Unnecessary
to take up his residence in England.
