The town had not been captured up tc
noon today , although the surrounding
country was entirely in the hands o3
the Boers.
We are supposed to be living here
In a state of war , but Ladysmith has :
all the aspects of a peaceful garrison
town in England. The Boers show nc
disposition to attack us. They cer
tainly have missed their opportunity ,
for now I consider the strength of the
British forces in the colony sufficient
to resist any' possible attack. It Is
the general wish of officers and men
of the imperial troops that the Boers
would come on for a rough tussel.
The struggle will be hard , but the
British expect to win.
Boer patrols were signaled today
in the hills about two miles from
Newcastle.
Sir Harry Escombc , after premier
of this colony , came here yesterday

evidently arc in earnest , as was
shown bv the manner inwhich 500
men , without draught animals , pulled
heavy guns to the stations out on

A poor country is this Natal. Snow
has fallen on the Drakensborc range

ATTITUDE OP UNITED STATES.
Nothing In International Usage to Wsir-
rant Mediation.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 13. The fol
lowing statement was issued by the
state department today : "The presi
dent has received a large number of
petitions signed by many citizens of
distinction requesting him to tender
the mediation of the United States to
settle the differences existing between
the government of Great Britain and
that of the Transvaal. He has re
ceived other petitions on the same sub
ject , some of them desiring him to
make common cause with Great Brit
ain to redress the wrongs alleged to
have been suffered by the outlanders ,
and especially by American citizens
in the Transvaal , and others wishing
him to assist the Boers against alleged
aggression.
"It is understood that the president
does not think it expedient to take ac-
ion in any of these directions. As to
taking sides with either party to the
dispute , it is not to be thought of. As
to mediation , the president has re
ceived no intimation from either of
the countries that the mediation of the
United States would be accepted.and
in the absence of such intimation from
both parties there is nothing in the
rules of international usage to justify
an offer of mediation in the present
circumstances. It is known that the
president sincerely hopes and desires
that hostilities may be avoided , but if.
unfortunately , they should come to
pass , the efforts of this government
will be * directed as they are at pres
ent to seeing that neither our na
tional interests nor those of our citi
zens shall suffer unnecessary injury. "

ls'fl AVfeKly Patent. Onico Report.
A simple device frequently invented
and brought to us consists in attach
ing a thread to an envelope so that ,
the end of the thread is exposed and
by pulling it the sealed envelope can
be opened thereby. Patent No. 114,072
was granted for the r.aid invention
May Uth , 1871. Improvements are al-
waj's in order and in many instances
the improvements are more valuable
than the original , but it is hard to
conceive of a patentable improvement
in the manner of applying a thread
for an envelope opener and yet some
genius may do so and get a valuable
patent therefor.
