A GREAT CALAMITY AyERTED.

How the Man svho was Going to Set the
Pacific Ocean ON Fire was Disposed Of.
Some time ago man named Gregory Sum-
merfield was murdered by being pushed from
the platform of q car on the Union Pacific Rail-
road at Cape Horn, and falling down thousand
feet on to the rocks below. Summer6eld was a
man of extraordinary literary and scientific at
tainments, and was always known before his
death as 1.-THE man with the secret" The only
person on the platform with him when he was
thrust down the precipice was Leonidas Parker,
q Sacramento lawyer of talent and excellent re
putation. He was twice tried for the murder,
and each time mysteriously acquitted Re-
Gently he died. but left behind him an eXplaua-
ton OF the whole transaction. A short tune be-
fore Summerfeld's death he came into Parker's
Office, that being his first appearance In San
Francisco for q number of years, aud 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 Great
ing and recreating its own force, and proceeding
until all the particles were destroyed.
Possessed of this terrible power, he demanded
81, 600 600 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 disdanfully, but offered to try one of his
potassium pills in vash-bowl of water, which
skipped and Kissed around as 1t always does,
and seemed about to expire, when a sharp ex-
plosion took place, and to his surprise, the
liquid blazed in lurid flames to the ceiling until
every drop was consumed. Deemng this worth
considering, he impaired the discovery, with
Summerfeld's condition. to leading banker,
bishop, chemist, two State university profess
sors, physician, judge, and two Protestant
divines who with himself, witnessed the ex-
pertinent on grand scale In mountain lake
ten miles from San Francisco. In fifteen
minutes every drop of water in the
pool was consumed, and the committee
became alarmed while Summerfeld be-
came importunate. Only half million could
be raised at San Francisco, and something 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 circum-
Stances justifable. All coincded, and Parker,
who knew the gorges and windings of the Pacific
Road, was chosen as humanity's avenging
angel In the conclusion of his document he
says:-"I 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, / think this final
appeal to my fellow-men throughout the State,
and ask them confidently not 10 reverse the
judgment already pronounced"

THE POLARIS AT NEW YORK.
Proposed Reception 60 Captain Hall by tin,
American Geographical Society.

The Polaris arrived from Washington yester-
day morning, after fine passage of four days.
She hauled into the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, at
ready for starting northward. The little craft
(4OO t0ns) seems in every respect fitted for the
expedition, unless, indeed, that her rig Chat
of a topsail schooner) be too light
The propeller is what is known as an auxiliary
screw, capable of being hoisted out of the water
when sufficient headway may be made under
canvas; thereby, too, economizing fuel, and pre-
venting the screw from being broken by the ice.
She is, besides provided with aa apparatus, by
the aid of which whale oil may be safely used
instead of other fuel. Those of the crew who
have accompanied former expeditionists to the
North Pole speak highly in praise of the prepa-
Tations made by Captain Hall and most hope
Northwest passage.
The Polaris viii proceed from here to the
Esquimaux settlements of UpeTnavlck and Disco
and at the latter await the rTiYai Of the Gov

worked by two men, who alone were In the

There will be submitted on the 4th
Thursday of August next the question
whether or not there shall be called
Constitutional Convention. The Flick
Amendment has been before the people
for year, an election has already de.
clared their approval Of II, and with no
violence to Constitution or law, YOU NAV
within sixty days remove the last politi.
cal disability, We urge you to devote one
day to this work Of restoration, The cry
for q Constitutional Convention has lust
been raised, and is hardly heard as yet
beyond political caucuSes, butt will soon
ring throughout the State. Politicians
thirsting for prominence or spoils, con.
ceived It, with clear majority in their
own party here protesting against 1t they
have applied the party lash until they
forced the measure,
With unabated zeal they now prepare
to fire the popular heart, to their unholy
crusade against the Constitution, and for
what purpose? The Constitution Is not
the creature Of any party, 1t was framed
before the present parties were In exist
ence, Lamb, Hall, Smith, Van Wrinkle,
Stewart, Jackson and Others were Of It's
trainers, and it has been spoken Of by
both parties with pride. What are It's
fatal defects ? 1t prohibits aid to COrpO.
rations and iorbids State debt. Would
you change this? 1854
1t declares that the child Of the poor
man shall be educated, would you change
this? II Is in vain that we ask these men
for their reasons, or suggest that without
expense or disorder any defectin the Con
stitution may be removed. Fundamental
change and revolution is their demand,
ten half paid judgeships, is their prize,
We turn from these politicians and appeal
to the sober people, whether Democrats
or Republicans, 10 rebuke this folly. If
every change OF party shall change the
Constitution then all Is anarchy, These
men have no special commission to de-
stroy. We need money and strong arms
from abroad. We cannot afford TO turn
this State into rostrum for mad declaim-
ers. This Is not IL political contest, 1t is
an open struggle between anarchy and or
der, between the politicians and tue peo-
pie. ..,
Although these men rule, they must not
ruin the State. .' 6..|.i . o
