Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - January 15, 1876, Winnipeg, Manitoba 1 i a Mhz saturday Jan. 15, 1870. Another reduction of the wages of labor ers taken place in several places in the United states and Canada owing to the prevalence of hard times. Hon. Us. Goof Guion has almost entirely re covered from his recent serious illness and expects to to Ablo to attend to his duties As a member of the Cabinet next week. Tut working of the ballot at the recent municipal elections in Ontario exceeded the expectations of the most ardent admirers of the system. Law and order prevailed in the Ditt Orent localities except and there was a total absence of Tho excite Mant Elvit formerly Roi Gued on election Days. A few weeks ago we referred to Tho tramp nuisance in the United states and the Steps that would have to be taken to Abate it. California with the customary decision of its inhabitants has taken the initiative in the matter. In that state it in proposed to make it justifiable assault Ard Battery to Biog these men wherever found without waiting for the slow process of Law. A hip Ping posts Are to be established or rather anything in the country of sufficient Strong i and stability is to be common property to All As a whipping Post. If a tramp is Dis covered loitering in the neighbourhood of a granary the owner of the property has the right to capture him bind him to a Fence stake tree stump or anything else convenient and administer the lash without incur ring any risk of a Legal process. Wherever the tramp is found he is liable to be captured and without trial punished in this sum Mary Way. By this process it is believed that the constituent part of hoodlum ism found in Tho person of a tramp will soon be abolished. Fri Cess Conise As a in there will to no court this Winter sighs a London lady correspondent or As Good As none for the Princess of Wales is going to Denmark and even if she remained in thu country she would most Likely be at Saiid Ringham. With her children. The Queen no one expects to see in London though peo ple at Osborne and Balmoral have her pres ence among them continually. The Duch Ess of Edinburgh is devoted to her baby and declines Semi state life altogether since she cannot have the leading part to Piny. East Well is described by guests As a tiresome kind of place where the is never out of the drawing room moaning that an Ante room adjoining the Duchess morning room is specially reserved for Tho accommodation of the Little Princess during the Day from whence can be brought in at a moment s notice and handed round to receive the compliments always liberally bestowed by visitors. The Princess Christian lives at Windsor and is likewise devoted to her children. The marchioness of porno prefers to live in her husband s rank not her Mother a and is absorbed in Art studies All Day Long. The Princess Louise has become the patroness of the ladies work association the shop in connection with which was for Merly in North Audley Street and is now removed to Sloane Street. There is no kind of fancy work in which the Princess does not Excel and not alone can she follow others but can originate patterns and de signs and be a Leader in her own Way. In lace work arid embroidery she has out step Ped the Queens of old and those Groat ladies who devoted their lives to elaborating pieces of work which Weie to become heirlooms. The Princess of our Day is not Only skilful in work of her own time but she knows the work of All other periods besides. At a glance she can Tell florentine lace from venetian Spanish from can name the Century it was made in and the possible District from whence it conies. The cunning est old jew dealer has no Chance of passing off an imitation upon her for her Quick Eye tells before her hand touches the Sham and she can teach him much More about the matter than he knows himself. As to tapestries the Princess is Learned not alone in designs but in colors in threads in Silks in dyes and in All the de tails of reproduction not one feature of which escapes her Eye. A stitch too much or one too few. Which Mars Ever so trifling a pattern she seems unable to avoid finding out. Xor is Plain work beyond her Domain for Felip mastered the mysteries of cutting out fitting calculating qualities so the workshop in Sloane Street must needs pros per under so vigilant a patroness. A stood piece of advice is Given by the monetary times to the business men who Are about closing their books for the year and Are ascertaining the condition of their business by Means of their profit and loss accounts and Stock books. It seems a fit Ting time to urge honest dealing with the matter. Very Many business men of Good reputation have a habit of allowing Worth less balances to accumulate on their books when these should be rigidly excluded from their balance sheets and consigned to oblivion through profit and loss account. There is nothing so deceptive As a mass of bad arid doubtful debts allowed to remain on a Ledger after estates Are completely exhausted and after debtors have left the country so Long As the figures stand on the books value is attached to them and the Only honest Way of dealing with them is to write off everything bad and Cut Down to a half figure everything that is at All doubtful.

Excite ment prevails in Hull owing to an attempt Marie by creditors to attach the property of be Eddy an insolvent Eddy backed by a Large number of employees prevented the Bailiff from taking Possession and the premises Are now guarded by seventy men.
