A CLEVER TRICK. T'was The Women Did It.

Yrsrerpay a prisoner in the Jail in this city escaped from custody by the clever de- vise of his mother and an assistant, in the His name is Rob-

ert Nelson, of Cornwall. time ago, fined twe hundred dollars ander the Seduction Act. But, he appealed from the Magistrate’s decision, and was in Jail, for the last few months, awaiting trial of his case in the Supreme Court. Yester- day evening, about 5.30, his mother, ac- companied by Mrs. Smith, visited him in the debtors’ apartment. They wereadmitted by Mr. Harvie,and remained.until 6 o’cleck. On leaving they were accompanied to the front entrance by Mr. McNeil, the as- sistant Jailor—he having met them at the door of the debtors’ ward. Descending the jail steps to the street they—three in num- ber—entered a carriage which was waiting and «drove off. As they did, voices from the jail windows were heard repeatedly say- ing, ‘‘there’s a man in woman’s clothes leaving the jail;’ and one waman who was leoking from the window of a house op- posite the front entrance of the jail ex- claimed, “Oh, my! look at the ugly big woman getting into the carriage !”’--it was the prisoner Nelson who had escaped dis- guised in part of his mother’s clothing—

wearing a dark dress, shawl, and large bemnet, with a very’ ihick veil. They dreve off to the east-end of the

city where he divested himself of his dis- guise and left for parts unknown. Nelsen is @ tall heavily built young man—has nothing in jhiils appearance that would assist in disguising him as a woinan, and, that the assistant jailor should let him pass so unwarily is thesubject of much ridicule and unfaverable comment on his part and commendation on the part of Mrs. Nelson and Mrs. Smith. sapere

The Zulu War.

BRITISiIL FORCES DISHEARTENED

GUSTED.

AND }IS-

A TELEGRAM from Lord Chelmsford’s head quarters, dated the 6th ult., gives the peace

iegotiations. Chelmsford promised

if the two cannon, captured at Isandula, were surrendered within a week and certain hostages sent into the British lines as eyi- dence of Cetewayo’s sincerity, he would grant an armistice. Pending the arrival of the terms of peace for which he had tele- graphe tc -—England some weeks ago, Chelmsford, at the request of the Zulu messengers, sketched the outlines of the probable terms, namely, the enforcement of Sir Bartle Frere’s ultimatum of uncon- ditional surrender, indemnity to England for cost of the war and the return of spoils taken at Isandula. If Cetewayo was unable to comply with the last named condition the British must themselves recover the spoils from the individual holders. The messen- gers wore warned to be prepared for the probability of the final ceremony of the conclusion of peace at Ulandi. A despatch from Cape Town dated the 10th, says that strong l.epes were entertained of the success

of the peace negotiations. The British forces were disgusted and disheartened with the war.

With reference to the above, the S:. -fehn Telegraph says: ‘ It is to be hoped that the impression which prevails at Cape Town, that the Zulu war is at end, is corvect. The terms, as sketched in the telegrams, are suticiently humiliating to the Zulus, and possibly embrace more than they can perform. It isnot clear in what way the 4uin King can contrive to pay ihe enor- mous cost of the war, but if England is able to exact it from him, it is probable it will be some time before he will embark in another contest with her. The cutcome of this South African business, we presuine, must be the destruction of the power of the native chiefs and the formation ef a confed- eration of colonies in that region of the world. If this is accomplished, the blood

dollars, may be shut up in prisen for as many days as there are sums of forty cents in the judgment against him. A helpless family, never far from the brink of starva- tion, may be dependent upon his poorly said exertions ; but all the same he maybe forcibly restrained from labor for perhaps two whole months because of the debt he cannot pay. Would not imprisonment in such a case, at the rate of twenty-four hours for every forty cents of the de- mand upon him, be an atrocious brutality ? It may be-said that barbarities and bru- talities of the kinds referred to are of rare occurrence in New Brunswick. Granted. 3nt their occurrence, it seems to us, should be rendered impossible.” Colliery Explosion.

THIRTY-ONE PERSONS KILLED.

A despatch from Glasgow states that a fearful colliery explosion occurred on Wed- nesday at noon, at High Blantyre, near the

Lanark, eight miles southeast of Glasgow. The explosion is thought to have been caused by a peculiar state of the atmosphere, which for some few days past has been in such a condition as to render the risks of explosion more imminent than usual. It is already known that fifty of the workmen in the colliery were killed, and it is feared that subsequent investigation will increase this number. The colliery was situated near Hamilton, one of the most handsome and interesting towns in Scotland. The news of the disaster spread rapidly through- eut Blantyre and soon made known in Hamilton. Great crowds speedily assem- bled around the mouth of the shaft, and the usual scenes of excitement and terror and grief were enacted. A later dispatch states that thirty-one lives were lost. Four vic- tims were burned alive. Twenty-one bodies have been recovered. . anil insieiiticiitiibvial

The South American War.

The South American: war, which still continues in its destructive course, is sadly interfering with the commerce of several European nations. The British farmers, who depend largely on guano for the ferti- lizing ef their fields, are beginning to com- plain londly of the injury which is being done to them. There is also the trade in nitrate of soda, which. as we stated be- fore, was the immediate cause of the war. In Bolivia there are large de- posits of this commodity, in which several Chilian merchants had invested to a con- siderable extent. The trade they so carried on interfered with the guano trade of Peru, and the Peruvians, who had much influence with the Bolivians, after trying some other means of reducing the exporta- tion of the nitrate ef soda, induced thein to impose a heavy export duty on it. This, which destroyed the value of the invest- ments made by Chilian capitalists, the Chilians resented, and they seized one of the principal deposits and the territory ad- jacent. This the Bolivian’ treated as an act of war. ‘The Peruvians of course, took sides with the Bolivians, and the Chilians, who have a powerful navy, at once pro- ceeded to destroy all the Peruvian and Bolivian property they could reach. Importent Meeting.

A number of leading gentlemen, inclad- ing some directors and stockholders of the Peters Combination Lock Company, met, on Thursday evening, at Moncton, at the office of Mr. Joshua Peters, to discuss the chances of establishing in Moncton some impertant industries in connection with

stormed and scolded as only The King’s little pastime, therefere, proved a failure, and he was thrown inte a correspondingly bad temper. The murder of a few children since then is said to be the result. Certain it is that two innocents not more than ten years old have been done to death, and possibly more may have shared their fate. ‘Theebau has obliterated the one sign of human feeling he displayed ‘in the February butchery. A little fellow, the son of the Tsabin Prince, —the mad prince as he was called,—was brought be- for the king to talk to’ him before being handed over to the executioners. The poor boy was half dead with féar, but when he raised his eyes to the throne and saw who was there, he clapped his hands with de- light. and cried, ‘ Oh, that’s Theeban, Theebau won’t let them do me any harm. A murmur of pity went round the ring of courtiers, and Theebau said. after a litile pause, ‘What has become of the pony I gave you once? ‘Oh,’ said the child, sad- ly enough, ‘‘ We are’ very poor now, we had to sell that.” Sethe King motioned with his hand, and the boy was taken back to gaol. Ten days ago, by order of Thee- bau, a blow from a club on the throat end- ed the poor thing's inisery.”

War Orrice, Lonpox, June 17.—The Queen has been graciously pleased to sig- nify her intention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the underimentioned officers and soldiers of Her Majesty's Army, whose claims have been submitted for Her Majesty’s approval, for their gallant con- duct during the recent operations in South Africa, as recorded against their names, viz :-—

Captain and Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Redvers H. Buller, C. B., 60th Rifles, for the gallant conduct at the retreat at Ziobani, on the 28th of March, 1879, in having as- sisted, while hotly pursued by Zulus, in rescuing Capt. C. D’Arcy, of the frontier Light Horse, who was retiring on foot and carrying him en his horse until he overtook the rear: guard. Also for having at thé same date and under the same cireum- stances, conveyed Lieutenant C. Everitt, of the Frontier Light Horse, whose horse had been killed under him, toa place of safety. Later on, Co,vnel Bulier, in the same mavner, saved a trooper of the Fron- tier Light Horse, whose horse was com- pletely exhausted, and who otherwise weuld have been killed by the Zulus, who were within 80 yards of him.

Major William K. Leet, Ist Battaliea 13th Regiment, for his gallant conduct, on the 23th March, 1879, in rescuing from the

Zulus, Lieutenant A. M. Smith, of the Frontier Light Horse, during the retreat from ‘the Ziobani. Lieutenant Smith,

while on foot, his horse having been shot, Was closely pursued by the Zulus, and would have been killed had not Major Leet taken Aim on his horse and rode with him under the fire of the eneiny, to a place of safety.

Surgeon Major James Henry Reynolds, Army Medical Departmeut, for the conspi- cuous bravery during the attack at Rorke’s Drift on the 22nd and 23rd January, 1879, which he exhibited in his constant atten-

rtion to the wounded under fire, and in his

voluntarily carrying ammunition from the store to the defenders of the ‘hospital, whereby he exposed himself to a cross fire from the enemy, both in going and return- ing.

Lientenant Edward S. Browne, ist Bat- talion 24th Regiment, for his gallant con- duct on the 29th of March, 1879, when the
