from WilmOt for publication subscrib-
ed ANTI-CANT AND HUMBUG. The
writer evidently feels hurt from some
remarks made by OBSERVER in com
munication from Wilmot which was
published in the Telegraph, and is sew
erely on that writer.
We never publish such communities
ti0nS without knowing who the writer
is, and as the writer has furnished no
name but the signature to the com
munication we cannot publish it.
Besides, judging from the communica-
tion, we infer that the writer does not
know who Observer is and is after the
wrong person. And as Observer, in a
communication furnished for publica-
ton, has made all due amendes for any
wrong or supposed wrong he may have
done any person in the communication
complained Of we think the writer of
the communication over the signature.
Anti-Cant and Humbug would prefer
not to have it published.

The Vermont Reprieye.

Vermont came near hanging man Friday
of whose guilt there are now grave doubts.
On the very day appointed for the execution
statement made by the condemned, pub
lished in Boston newspaper, the Globe, fell
into the hands of man who believes that he
journeyed with John Phair on the 10th of
June 1874, the date of the murder of Mrs.
Frieze, between Providence and Boston.
This belief, if established as a fact, wo uld
prove Phair's innocence. The new testi-
mony was at once forwarded to the Cover
nor Of Vermont and the condemned man
reprieved a bare half hour before the
time fixed upon for leading him out to execu-'
tion.
So strong was the circumstantial evidence
which pointed to Phair's guilt that so late as
the 21st of last month the Governor, after a
full consideration of all the circumstances and
a patient hearing to all the pleas which could
be advanced in behalf of the prisoner, re-
fused to grant reprieve. Indeed, his guilt
seemed clear to all who read the report of the
trial. And yet Vermont came Within thirty
minutes of another murder-a murder under
the forms Of law. Had the publication of the
statement OF the condemned man been post
poned a day, had Downing happened to be
away from town that morning, or being in
town failed to read his Globe, Phair would
have been hung, and the clearest evidence of
his innocence, day late, would have availed
him nothing. The chances were greatly
against the happy discovery. He had been
over two years under conviction, over a year
under sentence of death. His defence had
been conducted by able and devoted counsel,
who did not relax their efforts in his behalf
even after conviction. Yet during all that
time no hint appeared of the missing evil
dence and its discovery was the merest acci-
dent. Perhaps two-thirds of the men under
sentence of death in the United States to-
day have been convicted upon no stronger
evidence than was Phair. There is posi-
bility, too, in each case that proof of inno-
cence may appear, and a strong probability
that il will appear too late. Would it not be
well to dispense with the halter and the hor-
rible injustice it may work, and give society a
chance to recall its action, if that action be
wrong. The injustice of condemnation and
long imprisonment for the innocent man
may not be undone, but the community will
be saved from all reproach of having done
murder in the name of law.

DIR. SIEMENs, in an address before the
Iron and Steel Institute at Sheffield, suggests
the utilization OF Niagara Falls by dynamo.
electrical machines for supplying unlimited
power long distances. The utilization of the
electric currents for the production of motive
power is not the most economical method Of
using them, generally speaking, but where
power is to be conveyed long distances from
its source it may be transmitted (so it is sup
posed) with least loss after conversion into
electricity. The motive power at Niagara
Falls would not be costly, so that the certain
loss of large percentage of it in converting
it and transmitting it to distant places where
it would 'do the most good" would not be
conclusive argument against the adoption of
this novel idea.

THE Gear has project on foot which, if
carried out, will greatly strengthen the power
of Russia in the East. He proposes to build
a railroad thirteen hundred miles long from
Orenburg into Central Asia. There is one
little difficulty in the way, however. 1t takes
money to build railroads, and the finances of
Russia are in no condition to meet this ex-
penditure at this time. This difficulty, nev-
ertheless, may be overcome in some way so
that the great work can be commenced. But
how will England-already good deal
worked up at the Russian advance into Asia
