SALISBURY.

Rut:ft:co STONSHIMIGIL—We can warmly believe
what we hear from Stonehenge, that "the only re-
maining outer trilithon on the north-eastern 'lle of
the rings has been bolstered up by means of a gall we.
like 11,3 xlen erection, very aimiliar in construction to
that which supported l'emple Bar during the lut
months of its existence" This unnecessary disfigore-
ment of a national monument of extreme value and
ntarest should at once be protested against by all who
have any influence likely to weigh against its perpe-
tration. Who is responsible for it? It seems almost
like a piece of spite in reply to those antiquaries who
have recently been urging the necessity of setting
upright some few of the et ines that are obviously
slipping. N individval should have it in his p 'war
to damage such a monument as Stonehenge, even
under the guise of proteoting.—Bailcier.

THE STATE OF ZULULAND,

The Daily News c irreopondent talegraphinn from
Maritaburg. uuder Tuesday's data, gives a very satis-
factory acc•iuut of the state of affairs in Zululand- He

says :
The return of Sir Evelyn Wool to Maritxburg enables
me to give some interesting details with regard to
Zoluland mid other matters. The result of the meeting
with the Zulu chiefs is the expression by the majority
of a wish r European residents. No doubt thee:pres-
s:on is sponteneous, great core bring taken to ascertain
the real iselings of the Zulu people. The present
meeting gave unexpected testimony to the desire for
quiet. When the point was put to the chiefs of the
necessity of j ining to preserve order, the people,_quiet
and silent before, shouted "You must agree I " There
was no gigs of anxiety for Cetewayo's return. The
conviction evidently was that bloodshed would
soon result, for which the British Government
would be responsible. John Dunn, popular
with his own people, is not a special object
of enmity with the other chiefs. He is anxious to
construct a railway through thus territory, and is
confident of finding means. In spite of the general
wish for peace. danger exists owing to the jealousies
of the chic's. In some caves inferior chiefs were
appointed by mistake. It is difficult to know who is
to rectify this. t.ir Evelyn Wood was well received
in the ninth of Zululand, the feeling of the people
being mot friendly. Many who fought against the
British crowded to see him, Having leen and re-
assured the Swatzi King, Sir Evelyn Wood followed
the line of the proposed railway from Delagao Bey.
He was steongly impr -reed with the diffloulties of the
route. N. doubt much good has been done by the
expedition, which passed off without mishap, though
the party iuffered slightly from fever.
News from the Transvaal is very promising. The
people are resolved to support the leaders. Good
men are bang returned to the Volkeraad.

LEFBOY S POCKET BOOK.

A correspondent writes to the World :—" Are the
polioe beiviE hoaxed about Lefroy's pocket-book, whioh
they say hen been found? It has his name in it, and
there are entries in it also in his handwriting, and,
moreover, there are stains of blood; Co the police are
more positive than ever that he committed the wards..
Now it happens that I was enjoying a chop at the
Cheshire C 16666 some fortnight ago, and the conversa-
tion turned upon Lefroy. It would be vety easy,"
said one vf the party, to get him off." How ?' I
asked. ' Why,' said my friecul. • I should simply take
an old pair of my gaiters and buy a pair of false
whiskers, stain them both with bloo I, and take care
that they were found in a field near the railway.
Lefroya countryman' theory would then be abun-
dantly vindicated.' That's good enough,' said another
of the party; ' but it's too late now for the country.
man's gaiters to be lying about. Now, if I were one
of Lefroy's friends, I shoukl take a pocket-book, with
a letter or two, make them up as beim, Lefroy's, and
throw them somewhere whiorehe ould not have thrown
them from the train. That would probably get him
off.' Has this idea really occurred to some sympathiser
with the man of many aliases? It really looks like it.
But the astonishing part of the discovery of the pocket-
book is, to me at any rate, that the police should think
it incriminates Lefroy."

PEACE WITH THE BOER&

NEWOASTLE, BATURDAY.—Rumours have been
current here that the Boers have violated the conditions
of peace, that leave of absence for all British officers haa
been stopped; that the lbtli Hussars have been ordered
to remain, and that the aspect of affairs is not so
peaceful as it was. Thu only basis for these reports is
that the Boors have stopped an Englislunan named
Johnson who wished to pas. through the Trausvall, and
have refused to allow him to pass.
DURBAN, fili:lsnay.—The peace terms have only
just been made public here. They are considered
humiliating than was at first imagined; but the gen. NI
public utterly condemn them. A rumour is cement
that the Boers have already broken the terms
treaty, but seemingly it is without and foundation.

THE VOTING MARl:Hr.—What are called the " legiti-

and show that the cost of voters varies like the cod of
beef or labour. At Oldham a good substantial Liberal
voter could be had for 10,1., while a Tory cost Is. 6d., and
the same articles at Wolverhampton cost respectively
2s. 2d. and 16s. id. At Hackney Radicals were as low ag
Did., an Me Conservatives as high as le., aid in nearly
every borough the Tories were considerably higher in
price than the Liberals. The nearest approach to an
eluality was at Manchester, where the Liberal fetched
4:a. 20. and the Tory ts. lil. These are the lowest
re‘dy money prices for the political article, and no reduce
tion is inwie on taking a quantity.

CHARGII or STlaLlen Foos.—George Cole, & boy
of 14, was brought up before the o,unty magistrates,
on Friday, charged with stealing three eggs from Mr.
R. Keeping, of WOce.—Mr. Keeping had lost eggs
previously, and told P.C. ,Iiller„ who marked
three eggs, put two in the cludcutter and tne in the
dust.sco p. Prisoner went to the place, and took the
eggs, telling his father he had three, put them into his
pockets, and went towards his home, passing his mu.
tars house on the way.— Mr. How , for defendant,
made an able appeal to the magistrates. He said the
case arose from the habit of farmers in giving a corn-
mission On eggs taken to the house, whereas be recom-
mended that the c .mmission should be given on their
being pointed out. The father beds character as an
honest man, and the boy had • perfect right to take
the eggs but the only question was—bad he a right
to pus by his master's house. It was a very proper
cue to bring; but would they make the boy a convict
for life, by convicting him on this charge? The boy
was an invalid, and Mr. Howard urged that the Bench
would rather lean to the side of mercy, and give the
boy the benefit of the deubt.—The Beach did so, and
the Case was dismissed.

got him below once more. The Alpha warn l H ying at am-
worthy. He dd not see him after that. The reaec.. he
took him en board the Olive because the Alpha was the
other side of the water, and he could not got him across.
He (witness) went on oh re to find his shipmates, and
when he returned, the deceased wee gone.
Frederick Jeanie*, able seaman on board the Alpha, of
Portsmouth, said be had known the deceased about live
months, and was wit.. him on the evening of Satur-
day at the Victoria, about nine. He saw him again
about ha 1-past 11, when be appeared the worse for

should not. He said no more to Lim.

morning he was on his beat on the tjuay, and was walk.
Ing by the steam peckets, when be fancied he heard
someone in the water crying and appar fit v exhausted.
He jumped on hoard the steamboat, and as .rehed beta een

He whistled for as-istance, and P.C. Chaffey and two
seamen belonging to the Alpha came with a boat, and
th. y searched on both sides, but cou..i lind nothing. . e

Henry Beale, landl rd of the Victoria Tavern, stated the
deceased was at his h. use drinking on the Saturday
evening. He was not drunk when he left about 11.
He could not tell how much he drank, as he was
treated by his shipmates. He saw him again about
half-past 11 going up the street. He said he was look-
ing for his shipmates, and did not appear to be drunk

PUBLIC FEELING IN NATAL.
TIM DIZINCIIII AT LAINCIII It=

Diga.ui, Thursday.—The Transvaal is now declared
open. The mails start at daybreak to-morrow for
Standerton and Pretoria. President Brand is staying
at A swcastle until Saturday.
The refugee Beers at Newcastle show great anxiety,
saying that they must give up their farms. A few
will return to the Transvaal shortly, to ascertain the
treatment no be expected towards them.
The feeling throughout Natal is intense. People
regard the peace terms as humiliating. One news-
paper announces the terms with a mourning border.
Other extravagant means are employed to par ade a
sense of humiliation injuriously affecting the natives.
The ides that the settlement is • noble and gracious
act of the British Government has few advocates at
present, except President Brand and some of the
Free State people. Some admit the nobleness of the
act, but anticipate danger.
It is generally thought that when the Boers are left
to themselves there will be civil war amongst them in
a few months. Several influential and sober-minded
Boers have told me that should the British
Commission decide on the retention of the country
east of 30 degrees of the South Vaal River, or retain
Utrecht or Wakkerstroom, Mr. Joubert and his
party will rise again instantly. Mr. Joubert's pro-
perty is in that district.
Sir Evelyn Wood and his staff have visited Mount
Majuba. They were hospitably received by Mr.
Joubert. Over eighteen hundred Boers received them
In • hollow square. Mr. Joubert stated that he had
much difficulty in persuading the Boers to accept the
terms and disperse.
Evidences of many Boer outrages are now, it is said,
being brought to light.

survivor states that after the vessel struck the officers and
sail re lost all self-control, the capt tin offered a Lott e of

much excited to ply attention to the captain's offer. lie
then took • small drink h mumelf. and a wave c,rried

caught the linage from the steward's hands and carried it
into the sea. Then the at ward cried out aloud, "The
Madonna has des rted us, there is no hope,- and, pulling
out his sheathed knife, cut his throat, declaring that he
w uld rather die by his ow hand than be drowned. The
