The Case of Phair.

The strenuous attempt to save John
P. Phair from the gallows, has at last
failed, the supreme court having refused
to grant him new trial. The decision
of the court is given upon the fourth
page of this paper, and will no doubt
be conclusive to all candid people. Mr..
Phair has had every opportunity grant
ed him, and had there been any new
evidence as alleged, the court would
doubtless have granted him one more
opportunity to prove his innocence.
The case of this man is still familiar
to all our readers: Charged with muir
dering Mrs. Frieze, disreputable wO-
man near Rutland, he was tried, con-
victed, and sentenced to be hung. A
few minutes before he was to be exc
cuted, telegram from Gov. Fairbanks
reprieved him. The Governors action
was based upon the explicit statements
of the managing editor of the Boston
Globe, and also the chief of police of the
same city, that new evidence had been
obtained which made it impossible that
Phair committed the deed for which he
was about to be hung. The Governor
could have done no less under the cir
cumstances and it in no way reflects
upon him that after long and patient
investigation the supreme court finds
no new evidence and therefore refuses
a new trial. The case has caused
great deal of interest and expense,
special act of the Legislature having
been enacted to fit this case; but on
April 4, when Mr.. Phair is to be exc
cuted, no one need feel that an inno-
cent man is hung, as many would have
done had his execution gone on as be-
fore planned.

MIR. Tilden and the Investigation.

The farce is over. The Potter com
niittee has completed its investigations
with the examination of Mr.. Tilden
aud his private secretary on Saturday.
The committee had previously exam
ined Nephew Pelton, Weed, Manton
Marble, and others implicated by the
CIPHER dispatches in the attempt to buy
the electoral vote of several Southern
States for Tilden, and their testimony
has gone out to the world. The inves-
tigatiOn proves the general accuracy of
the N. Y Iribune'S translation of the
cipher dispatches, and duplicates Pei
ton, Weed and others in this most ne
furious business. They all showed great
anxiety not to implicate Mr.. Tilden
and Mr.. Tilden himself testified point
blank that he knew nothing of these
negotiations which were carried on by
his most intimate friends, including his
nephew Pelton, and his private secre-
tary, Geo. w. Smith-who received
these cipher dispatches in Tilden's own
house. The whole story is ''too thin -
and as the N. Y. Nation says, Mr.. Til
den can only "get out of the scrape by
proving an abb or brain paralysis
If Mr.. Tilden is innocent of this attempt
at the greatest fraud of the age, he is
certainly in the position of poor Tray,
in very bad company.

| of the donors, who are some $500 OIL
GERS and enlisted men of the army and
navy of the United States. The vase
itself, which is sixteen inches high
] shaped like soldiers canteen, and
supported by two eagles of exquisite
workmanship, is rich and valuable
present, and the circumstances of 1ts
presentation and the speeches with
which it was accompanied, render II
ten-fold more highly to be priced.
Circumstances of the last two months
to which l referred in a late letter
having brought the whole subject Of
the theory and methods of life insur-
ance again uppermost in the press and
in the public mind, the statements OF
the various companies which January
as usual, brings forth, are once more
objects of interested study and cOmpar-
ison. On the whole they show that the
leading companies have held their own
very encouragingly, and few of them
have even made considerable additions
to their surplus. In one case, that OF
the Etna of Hartford, this increase
amounts to almost "a million of dollars
net for the year. OF course this is ex-
ceptioDal, but it shows what honesty
and persistent conservatism of manage
ment will do in even the most unprO-
pitiOus times. This principle of con-
servatism, the only true one to govern
the management of trust funds, is in
the Etna as far removed from sold To-
gyism" as it is from imprudence, and
has given that company a position
which it would be faint praise TO call
enviable.
Although there are still in progress
quite a number of matches and walk
ings against time, the walking mania
which has ragged so furiOusly here this
winter seems to be on the wane. Ma
dame Anderson's successful performance
was the climax. Since then another
young woman entered for another and
still more protracted jaunt, but she
broke down in a few days, and the af
fair fizzled out. An interest in birds is
developed at the Aquarium, where
really fine pigeon show is now in pro
gress. The number and variety of
these beautiful fowls displayed is as
surprising as it is pleasing. On the last
three afternoons cf the week crowds
were attracted to witness the flight of
large fiocks of trained carrier pigeons,
which were liberated and dispersed to
different destinations.
The hue and cry about sugar adulter
alton, has finally died away into silence.
The Board of Health has just sent
communication to the Chamber of
Commerce, in which it curtly snubs
the would-be alarmists, and dismisses
the subject in these words: ''In the
ODinion of tho Roard tbara iS NOT at
present sufficient cause to justify APP
prehensions on the part of the public
of i'll effects from the use of refined su-
CARS, and it does not appear to be nee
essary to discriminate between raw and
refined sugars, for both are wholesome
articles of food" RADIX.

Poor Management.

Editor CaledOnian The Musica
Convention just closed was splendid
affair, and great credit is due to thu
chorus for the artistic manner in which
the different pieces were rendered. Il
certainly was great treat to all who
could hear, and will no doubt be 6
benefit to the musical talent in tOwr
and in the association. But there were
some transactions that laid the man.
ayers open to severe censure. They
sold more tickets than there were seats
or standing room in the Hall; and sold
after the hall was filed to overlooking
A large number of us bought tickets in
good faith, and after waiting an hour
were compelled to go home without
getting any benefit. Many strangers
that came here expressly to hear the
singing bought tickets and could not
get in. Now we do not complain of
the limited capacity of the hall, as we
all understand that, but the managers
should have restricted the sale of tickets
to the size of the hall, as is customary
in such cases. They certainly exhibit
ed in this as well as the want of order
at the entrances that they were not
competent to manage convention of
this size. 1t reminds us of a story they
used to tell of Esquire Villas over in
LamOille County, who had colt that
he was breaking to the saddle, and
wishing to see how skitish he was, sta
toned his boy at a convenient bend in
the road with instructions to swing his
hat and say "BOo"-as he rode past
him. The boy took his station and the
Esquire trOtted leisurely along until he
came opposite the boy, when Sam
rushed out of the bushes with a loud
''Bo-o-om The frightened colt leaped
to the opposite side of the road, and
the rider measured his length in the
mud, and the colt made for home alone.
The Esquire gathered himself up and
wiping the dirt from his face, and rub
bling his hip, he limped up to the boy
and said: Samuel, that was too big a
Boo for so small colt !" And while
many of us are trying to console our
selves in the disappointment of not
hearing the last concert, we can re-
member that it was too big IA conven-
ton for SO limited managers.

A War in Africa.

On Monday last cable dispatch gave
advices from Cape Town, South Africa,
of the 2lst, that on that day an entire
British column was completely annihi
lated near the Tugela river by 10000
Zulus, who captured large amount of
war material, besides killing about fifty
English officers and five hundred SOL
diers. 1t is estimated that the Zulu
loss will reach five thousand in killed
and wounded. Several attacks made
subsequent to the 2lst were repulsed
by the British, but they were finally
compelled to withdraw their forces
across the border, and will await reen-
forcements before again taking the Of
Iensive. A good deal of interest is felt
for the safety of missionaries stationed
IN that far-off land. Further news will
pc looked for with much solicitude.
The official report of Lord Chelms-
.ord, the commander of the British eX-
pedition against the Zulus, confirms the
news of the disaster. The troops made
Il gallant resistance, but were unable to
withstand the fierce onslaught of the
enemy's forces, which greatly outnum,
0ered those of the invaders. The tota
British loss is placed at six hundred
while that of the Kaffirs is computed al
between three and four thousand. Re
endorsements to the number of 700(
men are despatched to the colony a
once.

The Evils of Using Tobacco.

Intelligent opposition to tobacco
using is manifesting itself in some IN
expected quarters. In Germany, where
smoking has been national character
istic, the police in several OF the cltle'
have been instructed to stop all smoking
by boys under sixteen years OF age
This action is based on the testimony
of the medical faculty, that tobacco
using is so injurious to the health as to
impair the fitness of boys and youth fol
the military service, in which, I'D Ger
manv, all young men must bear a part.
In England, DR.. Drysdale, distinguish
ed London physician, has-in letter
to The Times-denOunced tobacco
smoking as "deleterious to health ana
vitality" and as the cause OF various
disorders which he points out. Other
medical men of London have fully con-
fiImed DR.. Drysdale's view of this habit
and it's influence. The Times itself has
been moved to IA leading editorial on
the subject, commenting particularly
on "the selfshness and general want OF
consideration for others which smoking
engenders." The Christian World, of
London, in mentioning these facts, de-
clares: "Whatever value may be at
tached to the medical opinions we have
referred to, all must admit that the
smoker is social nuisance" In this
country, the ministerial associations
and church conferences of various de-
nominations are beginning to take ac
ton Oh the subject, and some of them
now refuse to receive to their member
ship any young clergyman who uses
tobacco. Many of the religious papers,
North and South, including some in the
more prominent tobacco growing re-
gions, are speaking out with unmistak-
able positiveness against the use of to-
baccO in any form. The Interior-an
eminently conservative paper-puts the
case strongly when it says: "We have
no doubt that the number of years of
human life lost by the use of tobacco is
greater than the number of years of
life lost by the drinking of alcoholic Ii
quors;" and again, of the habit of to-
baccO using: sit is great misfortune,
every way, for a young man to contract
the habit. He stands nine chances out
of ten to have his life shortened by it,
and ten chances out of ten to have his |
usefulness impaired" A great many
excellent men still use tobacco but we
believe that there is not one among
them all whose influence for good is not
in some measure lessened by this in
diligence. We believe, moreover, that |
the best men-the clearest-headed and |
the purest-hearted- these tobacco
users are coming to recognize this truth,
and are one by one abandoning their
vicious habit for the glory of God and
the good of their Enthusiastically
School Times.
