_CHARLOTTETOWN,- PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, MONDAY, DEC

Credit Becoming More Difficult to Get.

To refuse a man credit, especially, when he had about a thousand dollars in his pocket ready to invest in groceries and dry

most unheard of in Canada.” But now, we are glad to say, a more healthy business sen- timent exists, and a better regard for the welfare of the mercantile community has grown to be entertained among the whole- sale houses in our cities. We have endeay- oured to do our duty in urging the impor- tance of curtailing credits, and in warning would-be merchants against the folly of _ at- tempting business with small capital, and of competing for custom, in the present de- pressed condition of trade, against men of large experience and a well established busi- ness. If we have contributed in any de- gree in bringing about a better condition of affairs, we have had our reward. Occasion- ally we hear that persons’ about to begin business find it extrewtely difficult to obtain goods on credit from respectable houses and it will be well if the trade generally persist in declining to advance stocks of goods to new beginners in localities where stores are already too numerous. An instance occurred last week where a young man of good address and consider- albe experience as clerk in a country village not a hundred miles west of this city, came

*Y | here with $800 in cash for the purpose of

buying a stock of goods amounting to say $2,500. He did not attain his ob’ect, and, after consulting some friends, he returned home with the intention of resuming his former occupation, and investing his money in something less precarious than dry goods. This, considering all the circumstances, was the wisest course to adopt. Had he got the goods, it would have been difficult in his lo- cality, and with his means, to adopt the cash system. And to sell on the customary terms of credit in the village in question, would to him have been simply ruin. This was clearly foreseen by those who refused to accept his hard-earned savings and sup- ply the goods necessary ; hence the very proper refusal to give credit. Under simi- lar circumstances, the seller is certainly safe in keeping his goods, and the intended buy- er is much better off without them if he in- tended to conduct his business honestly. Undoubtedly, the competition is already too great. And it has become a question with some of the older and wealthy merchants, whether it be better to continue to rish their capital and compete against illegitt- mate trade, or to retire with what they have accumulated,—Monetary Times..

British Heroes of Trafalgar.

Looking back through the long vista of seventy-two years to the day when Nelson’s immortal signal inspired the victory of Tra- falgar, it seems hard to believe that we have still among us a group of officers who have helped to assert the naval supremacy of England. We regard even a Waterloo hero as arelic of the remote past, so far away appears that ‘‘ loud Sabbath” on which Wellington ‘‘ shook the spoiler down.” But Trafalgar was fought ten years before the great European convulsion ended on the plains of Belgium, and ten years, when man get past the Scriptural limit of human life is an age. Nevertheless, on Sunday last (October 11) seven venerable officers cele- brated, each in his quiet home, and doubt- less, with many a proud and many asad recollection, the seventy-second anniversary of Engladd’s greatest sea-fight. Their names are as follows :—Admiral of the fleet, Sir George Rose Sarterius, K. C. B., who is now in his eighty-eight year,and entered the navy in June, 1801, fought as midshipman on board the Tonnant; Admiral Robert Patton, now in his eighty-seventh year,who entered the navy February 1, 1804, asa midshipman in the Bellerophon ; Admiral William § Ward Percival Johnson, who entered the navy July 2, 1803, was midshipmen of the Victory: Vice Ad- miral Spencer Smythe, who entered the navy in March, 1803, was midshipman in the Defiance ; Commander Francis Harris was a first-class volunteer in the Termeraire ; Commander William Vicary (who is now in his eighty-fifty year, and who entered the navy February 6, 1805), was first-class vol- unteer in the Achille ; and Lieutenant-Col, James Fynmore, R. M., was midshipman of the Africa. The following is a list of the ships engaged : Victoria, Royal Sovereign, Britannia, ‘femeraire, Neptune, Leviathan, Conqueror, Agamemnon, Africa, Ajax, Orion, Minetaur, Spartiate, Belleisle, Mars, Bellerophon, Colossus, Achille, Dread- nought, Polyphemus, Revenge, Swiftsure, Defiance, Tonnant, Prince, Phoebe, Sirius, Euryalus, Naiad, Entreprenante and Pickle. —London Daily Telegraph.

The last sensational suicide in Europe is that of Marie Prieur, a pretty French singer of twenty-five, who ran away from her home at Toulouse with Count Hugno Lamberg, an Austrian cavalry officer. She had ac- quired a competency and retired from the stage, young as she was; then she was smitten with a passion that the Count failed | to reciprocate fully, and when he left she | placed his portrait over her heart and with a revolver bullet pierced both.

goods, was, a few years ago, something ai- | have been the favorite resort of many a so-

ciety devotee at the Capital, have recently

| been overtaken by a most unenviable fate:/ _T refer to the residence so long oceupied by

Mr. and Mrs. Fish and that wherein lived and shone the false but fair Mrs. Belknap and her weak and unfortunate husband, both of which have been turned into board- ing houses.

The most pleasant reports coritinue to a: - rive regarding 'General.and Mrs. Grant and their doings abroad. Rev. Dr. Newman received a letter the other day from the General, which expressed himself as well pleased with his tour thus far, in good health and. spirits, and in which he says Paris is ‘‘ the most beautiful and quiet city in the world.” He intends wintering in Spain, on the Mediterranean coast, and purposes completing the circle and return home by way of California. His son Jesse, who is with his father and mother, wishes to enter one of our law schools upon his re- turn to this country, but has not yet de- cided what one.

Wednesday is the reception day of Vinnie Ream, the famous little sculptress of whom all America is so justly proud. A visit to her studio last week resulted most. satisfac- torily to your correspondent. who, not hay- ing a personal acquaintance with the artist, took advantage ot her weekly reception day. Miss Vinnie was just parting with Mrs. Gen. Custer, for whom she is now execut- ing a bust of the lamented General. In one studio are busts of Senater Voorhees and General G. H. Thomas, and a model of the equestrian statue of General Robert E. Lee, for which Miss Ream hopes to get the con- tract. She also has the unfinished busts of Senator David Davies, Hon. L. E. C. La- mar, and Capt. J. B. Eades, upon which

she works as a relaxation from the harder »

labor which her colossal statue of Admiral Faragut requires. His is the first colossal statue ever executed by a lady, and is worthy the ‘‘clear grit” of this little woman. It stands in a room, of which she had the ceiling removed for its accommodation, and represents the Admiral standing, with tele- scope in hand, as having just finished an | observation. Miss Ream expects to have it ready for the foundry in a few months, when it will be placed in the position already prepared for it in Farragut Square.

Working by Deputy.

We were rather surprised, says the Lon- don ‘‘ Globe,” to hear the other day of the arrival of some fifty ‘‘ American” workmen in London. We had aiways been under the . impression that an American workman was much the same kind of rara avis as a Brite ish bustard, and our _belief has since been confirmed by the news that nineteen-twen- tieths of the tourists in question are. of Irish extraction. They are American im- migrants or the sons of American immi- grants. The American boasting of a native grandfather takes kindly to politics and to the dry goods trade, but his notion of man- ual labor is confined to ingporting it for his own and his country’s benefit.

Some people are so bright and wide- awake that they are always iooking ahead, A married couple in Prussia of this pru- dent sort provided themselves with cottins beforehand, and kept them in a stable. Thinking it a pity not to make some use of them in the meantime, they utilized them as cupboards for the keeping of various kinds of food. At last the man died. The widow proceeded to put the contents of both cottins into one, and the emptied cof- fin was used for the reception of the corpse. By some mishap the cotlin containing the eatables were carried to the grave. Soon after, the widow, raising the lid of the other in quest of food, was horrified to find tle dead body of her husband. The funeral had then to be done over again.

OsMAN PASHA, says a war correspondent, appears about fifty years of age. His face is very brown and not wrinkled, his. black but rather loose beard full-grown. His fea- tures are very remarkable, and would ree pay the attentive study of a physiognomist. His forehead presents a strong slope, his hazel brown eyes are uncommonly large, suggesting an Asiatic origin, and always be- tray his feelings. His lips are uncommon- ly thick, though their thickness is partially disguised by the imperative firmness with which they are pressed together. Ido not know if the high title of Ghazi, conferred upon him at the early stage of the war, will prove justified inthe end. He is a severe disciplinarian.

Sovran Arrica.—The British in South Africa are afraid that the little war Sir Bartle Frere was so ready to undertake, the Galekas may be long, troublesome, expensive, as much of the country is. covy ered with dense woods, and the nativesshave several pretty safe retreats.

A few days ago a customer in a wholesale house in this city remarked to the dealer that he noticed an. unpleasant odor upon the premises.. The latter did not perceive anything, and the customer added : ‘‘ Well, I guess it is the celler that smells.” The other replied : “*‘ Not at all. I smell noth- ing. It seems to be the buyer that smells.”
