PardOning the Innocent -Four Years i'm
Jail for No Crime.

The customary Thanksgiving indulgence
allowed to the cOnvicts of the Massachu-
setts State Prison was attended last Thurs
day by an impressive and suggestive
scene. At the close of some exercises
that were held, the Warden of the Prison,
Mr. Haynes, announced that two men had
been pardoned and were at that moment
to receive their discharge. At this remark
there was total silence-a stiffness al
most painful, for none but the Warden
knew upon whom the mantle of freedom
was to fall. Mr.. Haynes hesitated couple
of seconds and then announced the name
of John Long and John Hayes. When
the excitement had subsidized, he went on
to say that four years ago these young men
Zone 81 and the other % years of age),
were convicted of highway robbery, and
that they were sentenced to twenty-five
and twenty years hard labor in the prison,
the heaviest sentence falling on Long.
Now, after having served four years of
their time, the fact has been established
beyond doubt that they are innocent of
the crime charged upon them. So they
were pardoned''-pardoned for having
borne the suffering of four years of wrong
full Imprisonment and disgrace, the most
maddening injustice that man can suffer
at the hands of his fellow -man-and they
went away to their homes to recover as
best they may from the deadly blight put
upon their lives The thought Of an ire
parable wrong like this is terrible, and
while it must always be of possible occur
renee, since human justice cannot be in
fallible, there would seem to be q call for
the provision of some juster and kindlier
acknowledgment from Society of its cruel
mistake than is coldly implied in the mis-
named pardoning" of the victim.-Buf-

The Cardiff Giant.

THE Syracuse Courier of November II
publishes the following letter written by
Dr. j. T. Boynton to Spencer r. Baird,
Professor of the Smithsonian Institute,
Washington, d. c. The letter is dated
November 10:
DEAR SIR. Your communication of
November 6 is received. The absurdity
of the existence of petrified human flesh,
or giants of stone that once lived, is such
that would not speak of it to men of
your experience if the community were
not agitated to it's core, and all kinds OF
opinions expressed, and false reports put
in circulation, to keep up excitement, mys-
tify and deceive the public. ] am going
to make out full report of the entire
history, proceedings, discovery, resurrec-
ton, and journey Of the giant to its pres
ent resting place. / have accurate maps
made from actual surveys, photographs,
&c, of all the matter that could be OBJ
tanned. 1t is simply reclining statue,
carved from gypsum; but | am not GER
tain that the block was quarried in
this country, but think have the means
of knowing where it came from. When
l first saw it lying in its mucky grave and
nearly covered with water, | hoped it was
a monument that would throw some light
on the shadowed history of the German,
Spanish and French settlements in the
Onondaga Valley, between the years 1920
and 1850 But fear that we are not to be
enlightened much, for my veneration for
the high antiquity Of the Onondaga Giant
is fast waning to a taper. L have been
making experiments on the solubility OF
various kinds Of gypsum under different
circumstances; and, although it is
laid down in the text books OF the
quantity of gypsum that will dis
solve in a given quantity of water,
vet | know of no statement of expert
ments showing the rapidity with which it
dissolyes. AS there ras been no occasion
for investigation in that direction. to my
knowledge, was somewhat startled after
making experiments, to find results as l
will now describe. / first took piece of
light colored gypsum furnished me by Mr..
Alvord from his quarry near Fayetteville,
in this county, about four inches wide, five
long, and two and half thick; in the
centre being of irregular form, thin at the
edges, and weighing oneand one-sixteenth
pounds, and suspended it from the spout
of a rain.water cistern pump and subject
ed it to the action Of running water, such
as would be produced in ordinary use in
q family of four, taking no extra pains
more than occasionally giving the pump a
stroke or two, just to keep the surface wet,

and one ounce was dissolved in forty-eight
hours, or one-seveBteenth of the whole.
This water was from roof of white pine
shingles, took another piece, about the
same shape, weighing thirteen ounces
ana suspended it in the hot water tank on
the stove, where it remained for forty
eight hours, when it was taken out and
found to have lost trif1e over one ounce
This has induced me to repeat my expert
ments in the most careful manner. You
can see that by ascertaining the superb
cial surface of the pieces experimental
upon and the quantity dissolved from them
in given length of time, we have
basis of calculation. What is the super
flclal surface OF giant ten feet in height
and other dimensions in proportion?
AS you are well known to be versed in
mathematics, leave you to make your
own calculations as to how long the giant
would have remained in his watery grave
had not the dissolying process been ar
rested by his early resurrection. / have
stated that | thought his origin could
not carry us back over three hundred
years." but / am not certain that the
known principles of chemistry will justify
me in asserting that the period between
his burial and resurrection was over three
J yO"Ao' I1o auGlqudtcu appearance Has
been produced, not by abrasion, as many
have said, but by the dissolving action of
water, which think could have been ac-
complished in few months. A more
careful and accurate calculation, admitting
the possible chance of some undiscovered
error creeping into the calculation, may
show the burial to have taken place about
$40 or 371 days ago. as it may have hap
pened between two days. However, in
vestigations are constantly being made,
and hope | may be able to "report pro-
gress" weekly. I hope this monument
will not be allowed to enter into history
clandestinely, or with any falsehoods at.

torians sometimes tell the truth" and I
hope the giant will not be accused falsely,
but may present true and clean
record" / am, respectfully yours,

points on the Railroads reaching out
IN every direction from this city.
The entire county of Wapello is
underlaid with bituminous coal of the
very best quality, in veins ranging all
the way up to eight feet thick.
In a few days our st. Louis Rail.
road will be completed, giving us a
direct route to that city, running
through country immensely rich in
agricultural resources, but which Is
destitute of coal.
Our two other eastern Railroads
TO Chicago, the one rio Keokuk and
the r'o Burlington, already carry an
immense amount of our black dia.
monds, to very many points cast on
those roads, and the superior quality
ofour coal is rapidly increasing that

willie. Fremont, Montezuma, Toledo
and Cedar Falls, there making an all
line connection with a great Railroad
line already finished to St. Paul and
Lake superior, all of which country
must draw its fuel from our coal fields
Then the Ottumwa, Cameron &
Lcavcnworth Railroad, will open up
an immense demand for this mex.
haustlblc source of wealth, which
underiIes every foot of our highly IA
vored county.
The conclusions which we have
come to, after giving this matter
much careful study, is that the coal
of Wapello county is worth vastly
more than all her other resources nut
together, and that in ten years from
this day, the annual value of coal sold
will double that of the value of our
agricultural products.
Our pressing need at present, is
for more coal mines to be opened, and
for more coal in the market, the de-
mand for which is constantly in ex-
cess Of the supply.
No better speculation could be en-
tered into, than the organization of q
Joint stock sompany which would
furnish coal commensuratcly,with the
rapidly Increasing demand from all
quarters.
Meantime, let every reader of the
Courier remember that he has an i'm.
mense fortune in prospect, if he owns
