ERRORS IN THE DRAFT. = The following
note was handed us by very worthy citizen
Of Falmouth, who wishes to call the attention
of enrolling officers to the necessity of being
scrupulously correct in matter of so much
Importance as that of preparing the rolls from
which CONSUMPTION is to be made:
MIR. EDITOR: l notice in the list of drafted
men for Falmouth as published by the papers,
that my name and that of another person oc-
ours twice, and | learn from persons who
were present at the draft, that two tickets
were actually drawn for each of us. Now
there are no other persons in town bearing
these names, who are liable to a draft, conse-
quently our chances for being drafted were, to
say the least, doubled. l will submit cheer
fully to whatever claims my country has upon
Inc as a citizen, but feel that have right,
and the public have a right, in a matter in
volving life and liberty, to be assured of fair
play. Can this be satisfactorily explained?
The attention of those on whom the respon-
sibility rests is respectfully invited to this
matter. Z. MERRILL.

A Pleasant Seaside Retreat.

The neighborhood Of Portland is not lacking
In charming spots, away from the din and
hustle, the dust and noise, the heat and sweat
of the city, where lover of quiet and retire
ment may commune with nature and natures
God, and luxuriate upon the fat of the land
and the scaly treasures Of the deep. In pur-
suit of precisely such spot, a few days since,
we made one of a small company, and under
the guidance Of careful and popular knight
Of the whip, who can draw the ribbons with
the hand Of a master, we soon found ourself
at aquiet seaside retreat where peace, plenty
and good cheer prevail and where no ghouls
in the shape of printers devils, with their
never satisfied demand for "copy," and their
interminable draft upon human brains, have
not yet penetrated. The place at which we
brought up is Mr.. L. M. JoRDAN's Summer
Boarding House, in Cape Elizabeth, directly
in the rear Of Richmond Island. Mr.. Jordan
is the owner Of large farm of over hun
dred acres, much of it the very best of land,
and he has recently erected a commodious
house, very tasty in its architectural proper
tions, well contrived, well fanked with out
buildings, and commanding a splendid view of
the ocean. While he conducts the business of
his farm, he is prepared to accommodate
few boarders, and we feel quite sure that the
invalid, those who wish to drink in the fresh,
bracing ocean breeze, and those who would
exchange the dust and noise of the city for
rural seaside retreat, will find that his place
presents decided attractions.
Richmond Island, directly in front Of Mr..
Jordan's house, was the first point settled in
this neighborhood. 1t was quite an important
fishing station when the site now occ uped by
Portland was wilderness. 1t now presents
from the main land decidedly black appear
ance, and In winter must be swept by the
fiercest blasts that escape from the horn of
old Boreas.
The distance from the city to Mr.. Jordan's
house is about seven miles, over an excellent
road, through delightful country that is
well cultivated and studded with buildings in
dicativa of abundance, and when the visitor
arrives at his destination he has one Of the
most delightful views possible OF the ocean,
of vessels and steamers passing in all direc-
tons, and he may walk or sail, fish or fowl,
sit upon the rocks or battle in the surf, or
drink In the spray and enjoy life to his hearts
content. -

Tome Editor Qf The Press:
While our advancement as people has been
mainly in the direction of material prosperity,
and pecuniary gain has been the characteris-
tic enginery OF our progress, it has by no
means been unaeeompaned by those things
which pertain to the mere liberal and aesthet-
ic forms of life. As colonies Of England we
had our representative art, which even at
that early period was OF decided merit. The
portraits Of Copley and Stuart, and the his
torical essays of Trumbull, were pleasing in
dications of primitive power and encouraging
signs of an suspicious future. 1t remained,
however, for future years to develop depart
ment of art as yet little studied, suddenly and
unexpectedly, into the prominence Of the
characteristic painting Of the present day. 1t
was but short time since that Thomas Cole
was living among us and public attention was
first directed to this department by his beauti-
full and original creations. Our scenery un-
rivalled in its munifcence, and comprising in
its offerings the highest degrees Of the beau
tiful and the sublime, the tastes of the people
and the means of the people TO recommend it.
ed to ensure the success of the multiplying
followers of Cole, who pushed boldly on in the
path which his achievements had so well de-
fined.
At the present time we find among our
landscape painters illustrious names outstripp-
ing in some respects the foremost artists OF
the old world and rapidly advancing their
chosen art to the dignity of school.
Among the two or three who are contribut-
ing the most to this desired end is Albert
Bierstadt. The high expectations which his
works have always excited, have been fully
realized in his last great work which has been
received with universal acclamations by the
lovers of art in our country, as great in itself,
great in the results secured in the present and
foreshadowed in the future.
This picture which has been Justly spoken
of as one of the greatest ever painted, is now
on exhibition in Portland.
An attempt to describe il in words would
be useless. One might as well attempt TO
convey just idea Of the oratorio of great
composer as the painting Of great artist.
As the former must be heard so must the lat
ter be seen. No language can convey an idea
of the beautiful as presented by such painting.
As this is Enthusiastically the greatest picture
ever exhibited in this State, we trust our peo-
pie viii not fail to participate in the delight
which its contemplation affords.

A Reunion OF Old Friends.
Shoulders his erutch,
And fights his youthful battles DER ayaiu

And fights his youthful battles DER again.
There has lately been pleasant and remark
able reunion of old friends in society, that,
although of strictly private character, we
deem worthy Of public notice.
In the year 1917 twenty-four young men,
principally clerks in various departments of
business in this city, formed club or society.
few years after its formation, as the young
men grew up, they began, Yankee like, to EN-
igrate. and at last the number was becoming
SO reduced that in 1928 they held the then
called last meeting, voted TO seal up the rec
ords, and adjourned TO meet in Portland at
the end of forty years.
Eleven of the twenty-four original members
are now living. and ten of them assembled
here, three of the parties being now residents
of this city, although only one has permanent
ly resided here. They came from Chicago
New York. Boston, Augusta, &c, and read
the records OF the last meeting The valedic-
tory poem, written by one Of the members
for their last meeting, was read, and it sound
ed strange to hear the death of one of the
Georges Of old England told of as an item of
the .'news of the day."
We intended to give list of the members
and survivors, but as one of the parties has
promised to prepare an authentic account
for the public, we hope to give it to our read
ers as an interesting "reminiscences of the
Portland boys of by-gone days, whom we no.
tce always come back to the home of their
youth with their early love strengthened, rath-
er than weakened by their long absence.

A Copperheud Confession.

To the Editor OF the Press.
One of the strongest indications that the
head of the Rebellion in the South, is painful
ly sensitive to the vigorous blows that have
been bestowed upon it by our victorious armies
since the advent of the present month, is the
violent wriggling and contortions of its tail
in the north, as witnessed in the recent riots
in some of our larger cities, and the constant
threatnings and hissings of reptiles ofthe same
stripe in the rural districts, against what the
democratic journals term the "odous con-
scription." The recent demonstration in New
York hardly equalled their expectations, and
many of them still vehemently assert that
Gov. Seymour, on whom they confidently re-
lied to inaugurate open resistance TO the adj
minstration, will yet bring the national rulers
down PROSTATE at the feet of the Governor of
the Empire State, and his friends and ''immedi-
ate constituents" But some of the faithful
are getting disheartened as is evident from
conversation overhead a short time since, in
town not more than twenty miles distant, be-
tween two of the aforesaid copperhead pur-
suason, who were earnestly discussing the
correctness of the reports Of Lees defeat
They were apparently very loath to believe it,
but as the reports received strongly tended to
establish the fact one of them, almost in an
agony Of despair, exclaimed-"I that is true,
the Democratic Party has gone TO h-H!

To the Editor Of the.Press


Among the many who have been so fortu-
nate as to get prize in Uncle sans lottery,
and who are to stand up for the Union, we
have the utmost contempt for some who have
tried to play of. In neighboring town one
young man, a year ago, when it was
thought draft would be made, Immediately
placed himself under the Doctors hands so as
to save his bacon. This year he tried another
way, as his sickness was played out. He
went to Boston, or pretended, to in order to
ship in the Navy as carpenter, but on hearing
how the draft had gone, changed his mind and
turned up on his farm once more.
In the same town another brace young man
had his front teeth all extracted. He is as
well as could be expected, and since he has
learned of his being in out of the draft. he
complains OF being better" He will now be
a good subject for the invalid corps. We
will not give the names of these brave and
true young veterans although they are well
known TO CoNscRIPT.
