Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - October 9, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba Info t urday oct. 9, 1876. The visits an important event in which eng land and the cold Mia and Joyal British subjects everywhere will take consider Able interest transpired on the 28th ult. On the morning of that Day Ono of her majesty s ships sailed Iron Englan to port in Italy to take on Board the Prince of Wales and suite who embarked at Brindisi via the Suez canal of India through which mighty dependency of the Crown to is to make it Roya Progress it remembered for the purpose of Gratifying any personal re sire he May have for the display of the pomp and magnificence of Royalty by for weighty state reasons. The Strong Arm of English Law lately Laid with considerable firmness on a native Prince the Gui War of Baroda an infamous despot Whoso official life is said to have been Little else than a series of acts of cruelty and injustice. His arrest trial deposition from his throne and imprisonment for life though in strict conformity with British Law ant richly deserved., was a method of Deal ing with Indian princes which the a tire mind could not comprehend. The act too was perpetrated by foreigners and although Loco Nicod at the time As just by the natives themselves their prejudices were worked upon to such an by interested russian spies Anc hostile agents that Tho indians became Joa Ous disaffected and boldly hostile to British Rule. In order to counteract this feeling Anc favourably impress the Eastern which is easily awed to respect reverence and by Magnifico and gorgeous Royal it was do Cirod to cause the heir apparent to make a state Progress throughout the Eastern Empire it is believed and no doubt correctly that Tho Prince s visit to India will be productive of Good up sults. That it be so and that the native. Masses nabobs favor ably impressed by our future King s Royal conduct Large bums have been placed at his disposal that he May to Able to go through country in a Stylo of. Magnificence unsurpassed by anything in that line to which people have been hitherto accustomed. The Prince has been subjected much ill natured and unjust in consequence of undertaking this Mission. Personally the could not have desired it for such state displays cannot be other Wise than distasteful and a Boro t6.1him, and it has. Been intimated that were he to consult his. Own feelings he. Would remain in england., the English ministry that advised the visit Are alone re do sible and we have no doubt they can defend their action keeping in remembrance the the Prince of Wale visit to Canada to argue that any circumstances these state progresses by the heir apparent Are productive of Good a multitude., of ways and the. Treasure., thus expended is better invested for the interests of the nation than if spent in quelling an other insurrection in India which., apparent indifference and neglect might very soon of prominence in the pro Vince to go among Tho honest hard working and deserving pioneers of the the purpose of heaping cow ardly abuse upon them. Bat it has and on their behalf recent it. In the Standard s account of the. Late. In the electoral division of Rockwood its reporter goes considerable Way to descant upon and ridicule the poverty of the settlers of the District. The log buildings Are peered at mud floors facetiously alluded to and it is insinuated that Tho settlers hospitably entertain at their tables Only favored friends to the exclusion of the voracious reporter. Now while to know that there Are Many of the settlers of the District who have manfully struggled to establish them selves in their new Homes through year after year of. Misfortunes and sequently Are not wealthy to think it ill becomes the Standard reporter whom to was most. Hospitably and kindly treated by Tho settlers and fared As Well As it was their re sources possible to in his Chagrin at the unsuccessful result of his to hold his entertainers up to Tho i Dipoalo of unthinking people. Such ingratitude is Woi thy of the Standard s reporter who ought to know oven if he has no gratitude that honest. Poverty is no our new settlers will not readily forget this base attempt to cast an undeserved slur upon them. We scarcely expected Standard to use to Long been engaged in endeavouring to foul the character of the divorce of tie grand hike Alexis. We have been told from St Peters Burg that the grand Duke of Tho Czar is just divorced. His wife was a German maid of Honor for whom the. Empress had a great affection. She was not pretty i am told but extraordinarily Graceful and possessed of that Fasci nation which is a better gift than Beauty. So the grand Duke fell Over head and ears in love and the lady confiding in her mistress s affection undertook to break the it was done and in a few hours the lady found herself travel Ling at express Speed toward the front Ier while the Prince received orders to join his ship. Thus they were separated for a while. But it is hard to Oon Troj a Prince harder to Rule a Sailor and a Sailor Prince in love must be worse to hold than quicksilver. The grand Duke ran away 01 course found Tho lady and married her at a Village Church in Ger Many. Thence they went to America where for two years they dwelt in perfect happiness. The Czar it is Taid would not forgive nor would Tho Prince Humble himself. But the Empress interposed at length both for her son and her of maid of Honor. And so after a Short time a reconciliation took place. This the solemnities of Tho divorce were All completed the grand Duke enters the Bis widow receives a pension.
