BOERs IN BONDAGE.

SIR GARNET woLsELEY TELLS THE BOERs THAT
THE ANNEXATION OF THEIR REPUBLIC IS
IRREvocABLE- DEMANDING INDEPENDENCE.
[DY CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
CAPE Town, Sept 30, 1879.
Sir Garnet Wolseley is at Pretoria, where he
has publicly declared that the annexation of
the Transvaal is irrevocable. The committee
of Beers have adopted resolution that nothing
will satisfy them but the restoration of indie
pendence.
HOW GREAT BRITAIN REPAYs THE BoERs FOB
THEIR FoRBEARANCE AT CRITICAL PERIOD
GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES LOST.
The Beers have played their cards badly.
They have been clamoring for independence
oil the year long. Some months ago they
assumed very determined attitude, and at one
time threatened to keep Sir Bartle Frere as
hostage at Pretoria unless their demands
were granted. At that time 10000 Beers
had pledged themselves to support their
leaders by force of arms if necessary
in demanding independence from England. But
the leaders permitted themselves to be bam-
boozled and this at time when, if they had
added their might to that of the Zulu King, it
would have gone hard with the British flag.
Three companies of British infantry garrisoned
the entire colony during the past six months,
and every possible soldier in South Africa was
needed to fight Cetywayo. Then, of course,
was the golden hour for the Beers. During the
Pretoria gatherings in April last, when England
had already suffered her first reverses at the
hands Of, Cetywayo's Zulus, Sir Bartle Frere
was seutto parley with the leaders Kruger and
Joubert and Sir Bartle induced them to draw
up petition to the British government contain
ing an account oftheir wrongs and theirdemands.
In forwarding this petition to England Sir
Bartle Frere said:-'And looking to the bearing
and temper OF the committee whom met-men
of position in the country and respected, and
leaders who have, since the earliest establish
ment of the Republic, taken u prominent part
in the government of the country-I think
may say that their representations are worthy
of your earnest consideration" But, the war
with Cetywayo over the British army in South
Africa out of the woods, SO to speak, tho
Beers are rewarded for their forbcarance ut u
critical moment by the harsh answer from Sir
Garnet Wolseley that the annexation Of the
Transvaal is irrevocable. This is British graft
tude.

STORY OF A STRANGE DIsAPPEARANcE-cLEws
DAILY DEATH, &C.
The above despatch is the epioguc of one of those
strange domestic dramas that sometimes startle
inhabitants OF crowded cities. month ago young
lady was lost in Liverpool. Leaving her home.
where she lived upon terms of affection with her
family, on some necessary domestic errand. and
with the full confidence of the whole household.
Miss T. NJ. Edwards disappeared down OF the
streets of crowded thoroughfarc The
ono of great mystery. and caused extraord-
mary excitement. She livcd with her parents
in the Rufford road. Fairfield. Liverpool and left her
home the afternoon of Wednesday, the 3D. of Sep
tcmbcr. in order to pay fow tradesnen's accounts
in a district known Islington and in Lime street.
Beyond tho fact that tho young lady subject to
fanting fits there would appear to be reason why
a we'll conducted girl OF eighteen years should
not leave her home without escort to pay bills and
call upon her friends. Sho was recognized in
the omnibus by the way of West Derby road. and
directed tito stop close by the Kings Monument.
the London road. This was proved for. as it hap
pcned she recognized while In the omnibus.
and when 1t stopped was to pass down one Of
tho streets off the London road which would be the
shortest but possibly not the most dcsira-
bio direction to Islingtoi. From that mo-
mcnt Wncu OMNIBUS stopped ana MISS
Edwards observed hurrying along on

evidence, been seen by noboAy. At Islington Limo
street she never arrived the bills were not paid and
tho friends unvsited Thirty days passed away, and
neither widely circulated advertisements per-
sstent search did moro than raisc the suggestion of
an elopcmont to Shrewsbury. which was believed to
be extremely doubtful, and ultimately proved to be
utterly untrue. The newspapers grew almost hys-
tcrca the subject. "rhe thought" says the 1cie-
graph. THAT this vrtuous young lady had been de-
taincd In some low den OF infamy, will make every
honest man burn with Indignation There have
been such cases. and there believed to be such

are probably at this moment, both in London and
in Paris. girls firmly tied TO tho stake of in,amy,
who may cry out in their agony. but unable to
get release. Threatened with murder, watched at
the door. robbed of their ciothcs they
would lead q life OF daily death, until
shamolessness or despair or drink browns
their troubles and aecustoms them to vice.
For, easy IL looks to escape. how they obtain

visitors do not dare to- release them, lest by the
scandal, thay accuse themselves. we do not say

affair was that each separate paper In London had
its own "clew."

The new Gould process for working

Just what 10 needed for developing the
vast richness Of the district. The pro-
cess 10 quite simple in comparison to
anything yet introduced. and much faith
Is had 10 the process owing to this fact.
There was q great rush to this district in
1866, o large town soon sprang up and
q great deal Of money was spent In
attempting to conquer the stubborn ore;
but the Efforts were all failures and the
camp was abandoned. A great many
new processes have since been discov-
cred which claimed to work the refrac.
tory ores prohtably. but they have all
failed. and the owners Of the mines in
that vicinity had about become discour.
aged. and were about ready to give up
all hope Of ever realizing anything from
their mines. But now there seems to DO
good reasons for thinking that the prob.
lem has been solved, and that Meadow
Lake will yet become . great bullion
producing district, equal. at least, 10
any in the country. A fair test has been
made BY the Gould process, and ore
which would yield hardly anything BY
any other process has given returns Of
nearly 500 per ton. Meadow Lake
District abounds In large. well. defined
iodss Of gold. bearing quartz, and should
the new process b ons-half Of what Is
claimed for II, the district will soon
swarm with miners and DO once more
the lively camp that 1t was 10 the days
Of its frst discovery. We wish success
TO the Gould process.

FATE OF the AERONAUr.

There 10 but little doubt now remain
ing that Professor Wise was drowned in
Lake Michigan, and that. like that other
famous aeronau.. Donaldson. he will
never be heard OF again alive. The
body Of his companion, Burr. washed
ashore and vas identified. but
the remains OF Wise. OF Of his
balloon are not likely ever to be found.
The balloon was Q new one. but. like all
others. the material Of which 1t was
made. although buoysnt enough while
expanded with gas. would sink in water
when empty. Tho fate OF these daring
advsqtur,rs. however. will have but little
influence in d,tsrrins Others from simi'
lar experiments In e~ndssvoring to solve
the great problem Of aerial navigation.
Different plans and styles OF air ships
and devices for traversipg the air have
been and still are invented from time to
time. yet all the most practicable and
reliable depend upon the buoysney and
Sustaining power OF gas, as being lighter
than tbs surrounding atmosphere. None
OF them have proven to DO Of sufficient
utility to bring them into ordinary use.
It 10 true that Gambetta escaped from
Paris In q balloon. and that balloons
have been utilized to some extent coca.
sionally. yet tho danger encountered
more than compensatss for any practical
use obtained thus far.
Some new and moro condensed sus-
tanning agent Is required. Balloons.
thus far. are merely huge blsddsrs OF
gas. to be blown about by the winds like
soap bubbles. and even at that there Is
an unavoidable leakage and exhaustion
Of the gas which will allow Of the balloon
remaining 10 the air but q limited space
Of time, aud Q short time at that.
Professor Wise did not expect to be
able 10 remain in the air moro than
twenty. -four hours. Scientists agree
that there was q time when navigation
OF the water was as much OF o problem
as that OF the air. yet that Is
an absurdity. Even floating sticks.
birds. anything that will float,
had already demonstrated the essential
and most important principle, the sus-
tanning power. There was q natural
basis to operate upon. whereas the base
Of the air. 10 to speak. 10 the
land and the sea. made so by the sttrac.
ton Of gravity. Discover some agent
which will permanently neutralizs or
overcome that attraction, and Of course
the problem Of aerial navigation 10
solved. Ballooning since the days Of
NoutgolAer has remained about the
same 80 far As practical success and use
10 concerned. and no good has thus fai
resulted. Many valuable lives have beer
lost and doubtless many more will be,
for plenty Of balloonatics still exist.
