NEW PICTURE OF PoRTLAND.-The news
papers have, during the past few weeks, at va
rious times announced that Mr.. Joseph War.
ner was soliciting subscriptions for picture OF
Portland from an original sketch by Augustus
Koch and others last fall and the past spring.
He has met with fair success, but we desire to
remind our citizens that this is one of the most
valuable, reliable and desirable works of the
kind ever presented to the public. 1t is a birds
eye view picture and not map. 70 ensure
the success of the enterprise 800 copies are nee
esssry, and it is hoped the requisite number
will at once be secured. In several cases the
city has purchased a large number of such pic
lures and sent them to the authorities in other
cities as giving some comprehensive idea of the
Situation and character of the place.
Now Portland is, as every one knows,
one of the most beautiful cities in the country,
nearly surrounded with water, the harbor and
the islands, and the sea in front; Fore river
and the inland country on the west; Back Bay
and the rural scenes beyond on the north, and
the charming Casco Bay on the east, the city
being long and narrow, thus rendering its wa
ter approaches in cases of fire easy. The ele-
N"eiOho ~ OhhSA OAeAOhiipys thO SIduu WudTl,
railroad and steamship facilities; these and
other things all being shown in this picture,
makes it one of the best descriptive advertise
ments of Portland that can be given, and we
should regard it as wise thing for the city to
order lot for municipal distribution Certain
ly every merchant should subscribe for several.
Every leading hotel in the country should have
one in its reading room or Office. Every insur-
ance company doing business here shonld have
one in its home office, and every agent one in
his office here. The publisher is Mr.. j. j.
Stiner of Madison, Wis, who has issued these
pictures of large number of leading cities,
North, South, East and West. They are print
ed at the photographic Establishment of Messrs.
Chas. Shober & Co., Chicago, whose pictures
OF other cities, SO admirably done, are guar
anty OF the excellence of this one. The size is
large and gives distinctly every street, house,
building, wharf, and railroad, including the
Marginal Way. We hope that the 300 and
more too will be at once subscribed, and thus
another good point be made for our city.

CENTENNIAL CONFESSIONAL full meeting
of the Maine Centennial Board was held yes
terday at the Falmouth. The question under
consideration was whether or not the state
shall make, in addition to individual exhibit
tons, distinctive showing of her natural re-
sources, such as her crops, metals, woods, fish
cries and other material products, as some of
the states have already decided upon. 1t is
understood to be the opinion of tie Commits
sion that Maine can hardly do more than bring
out the best possible results through individual
efforts, and forego the attempt to make COL
lective exhibition.

About Prairie Chickens,

tits quite evident that the game law in
force at present has been enacted solely
FOR the benefit of the sportsmen of the
various gun club associations, instead, as
they aver, tor the protection aud preserya.
ton Of game generally Nothing is more
plainly indicative Of this fact than the
present condition of the game market and
the daily arrivals offered on sale. Persons
passing along any Of the commission
throughtares can see prairie chickens
lying around 10 an entirely worthless con-
dition, the weather being too warm to pre-
serve the shipments, while about one half
OF the Cots arriving consists of young
chickens not fit to eat. The season should
be extended at least one mouth later, com
menclng Sept. ID, instead of Aug. Is, and
terminate March /. This would stop the
wholesale slaughtering of birds while they
are too young and worthless, and such a
change would prove beneficial to the trade
generally. Commission merchants are
averse to trading at this season of the year,
and would prefer to have the law changed
as above stated. Something definite in
this respect should undoubtedly be done
before the close of the season.-Iater

Those who know that Hard Money is
the fundamental article of the political
creed of Four German citizens will not be
surprised at the action Mr.. Hassaurek
has taken, and which the Illinois Stats
Zeitung gives warning it will take upon
provocation. Mr.. Hassaurek, the editor
of the Cincinnati Tolksb1att and the rec
ognized leader of the Germans of Ohio, to
whose efforts was due in no small measure
the sweeping Democratic victory of 1874,
declares that he will vote for Mr.. Hayes,
the Republican candidate, to show his de-
testation of Rag Money. The Stats lei
tung announces that if there are in 1876 a
Republican Hard Money candidate and a
Democratic Rag Money candidate it will
support the former, but that if both par
ties adopt sound platforms it will oppose
Radicalism. We believe that the Demo
cratic national convention next year will
affirm the Democratic doctrine of Hard
Money, and present platform on which
the Germans. who are almost to man al
one with US in desiring sound currency,
revenue tariff, an economical ad
ministration and local self government
may stand side by side with them.-Neat
