Fairfield.

The Republicans of Fairfield are awake and
at work; petitions are being presented for Or
ganization OF Davis club. A meeting is
called Friday evening of this week to organize.
There are few Democrats remaining who
refuse to sell out to the Mongrel party, and
who propose to stand by the old Democratic
principles. 1t seems as though those who
thought alike upon all absorbing questions of
finance, might, for the time being, work to-
gether, and so it is in many places.
The letter of Mr.. BENZ. Bunker about which
the "Blood'' of tile Chronicle got SO stirred ND
and the editor of the New Era so incensed was
probably written after he failed to receive the
several State appointments which were
promised him. for his valient defence of the
cause, and before the new office of "Pension
Agent was created. It's all right now and
everybody is happy.
The article in the Somerset Reporter last
week written by a Fairfield member of the

The Big Ship at Kennebunk Sold for a
Small Price

The assignee's sale of the Thompson and
Titcomb ship was made by auction at 8 p. m.
yesterday. F. o. Bailey acting as auctioneer.
So valuable piece of property was
never offered for sale at Kennebunkport
and the present depressed state of ship
ping having given every one the impress
sion that the ship was to be given
away with other novel circumstances drew
large attendance from abroad in addi-
ton to representation of creditors and
citizens of the vicinity. Several millions of
property must have been represented by the
gentlemen upon the wharf, many combina-
lions among them standing ready to buy the
ship at o small sum less than the final bid
Prominent among the persons from abroad we
noticed Capt. Samuel Watts of Thomaston,
c. E. ElweH of New York, f. N Thayer, N.
Thayer and Lincoln of Boston, Capt. Jacob S.
WinsQw, Hon. James Bailey and III. N. Jose
of Portland, N. Mehan of Thomaston, H. S.
Houghton of Bath, Jas. NJ Hayes of Rich
mond, Hon. VIM. Rogers and VIM. Sewell,
ESD, of Bath, Hon! John NJ Goodwin and
others of Biddeford, Capt. Emerson Of York,
Mr. Sargent of Yarmouth, Mr.. Fulton from
Scotland, Capt. Gilkey, with many others.
The opening bid was $4,000 which increased
by thousands and five hundreds to $41 900, at
which price the hammer dropped to the name
of Nathan Sewall & Co., of Bath, who with
Elwell & Co., of New York are to own her.
All agree that these firms have valuable ship
at most ruinous figure.

The steamer Florence took 500 Lewiston
Methodist excursionists to Harpswell yester-
day.
The Cumberland Bar Association yesterday
had their annual excursion. A large number,
including Chief Justice Appleton and other
members of the bench attended. The occas-
ion was very enjoyable one.
The Odd Fellows returned last evening from
their Burlington excursion, and speak in tn
highest terms of the courtesies extended
them by the Vermont brethren. Wednesday
afternoon they had sail up the Lake Cham
plain and enjoyed exceedingly the beautiful
scenery.
The excursion on the Forest CITY tomorrow
afternoon is novel and attractive. The seen
cry along the coast between Portland and
Saco River is varied and has the great attrac-
ton OF being new to most of our citizens. The
rocky shores Of the Cape and Prouts Neck.
and the long sandy beaches of Scarboro and
Old Orchard are all singularly beautiful as
seen from the sea. The trip will extend as far
as Fletcher's Neck, and the best opportunity
will be furnished for viewing the many objects
of interest The steamer will leave Franklin

Around the World With Grant

The American News Company have begun
the publication, in numbers, of the most com.
pletc and elegant book of travels ever pub
lished, "Around the World With General
Grant" It's the work of Mr.. John Russell
Young, one of the finest journalists in the
country who has been the constant companion
of General Grant since the Indiana sailed
from Philadelphia, May 18th, 1876. Since that
day of sailing Gen. Grant and his party have
visited the notable places in Europe, Asia and
Africa, and have nearly completed the tour of
the world. OF that tour Young's work is the
record, a record that will be continued up to
the moment the party reaches San Francisco.
and perhaps until it crosses the continent and
reaches its eastern shore.
OF the merits of the chronicle little need be
SAID III praise to those who are familiar with the
works of its author. 1t is not only careful
record of the tour, but as well an intelligent.
vivacious and picturesque account of the
places visited and the people seen on the jour
ney. Mr.. Young's powers of description are
strong and fine and the subject-matter is album
dant for them. The result is book of travels,
more comprehensive than most, more enter
tanning than many, and presented by the en-
terprise OF the publishers, in better and more
attractive shape than any that have preceded.
During the journey Gen. Grant held long and
free conversations with Mr.. Young concerning
the events OF his administration and upon
other affairs, social and political, that came
under his observation. These conversations
add greatly to the value and interest of the
work.
The work is not only much better written
than subscription books usually are, but ex-
eeeds most of them in the elegance of it's make
up. 1t is printed in handsome type on heavy
calendered paper with wide margins, and prop
erly illustrated by correct and well-printed il
lustrations of historic buildings, cities. seem
cry, river and mountain views, and portraits Of
distinguished people In all it will have over
eight hundred illustrations. 1t is published in
twenty parts Of sixty-eight octave pages each,
containing two full page engravings and many
other illustrations. The price of each part is
fifty cents
The American News Company should be
complimented upon the excellent manner in
which it is issuing this work. and the moder-
ate terms at which it is offered The company
has done much to encourage cheap and good
literature, and nothing more than in this
work The custom has been to issue numbers
Of subscription books containing from twenty
to twenty-four pages. The numbers i'll this
work contain sixty-eight, and of quality as
good if not better. This is making great re-
duction to subscribers, and they are also offered
terms in binding far below those that have
heretofore prevailed. These considerations
taken in connection with the fact that the
work is one that all should have, ought to
make large and rapid subscriptions

In ReiOinder.

The following letter has been received by
by D. H. Ingraham, esq. Its contents speak
for themselves:
GLASGOW, July TO- 1879
SR:-I read with some amusement Mr.. Neal
BOWS criticism on the few remarks l ven
tured to make in reference to my impressions
of the working of the Maine liquor law in
Portland, Maine. Mr.. Dow appears to be an
CRY at any one who dares to utter word con-
demnatory of what appears to be pet law of his.
He denounces all and sundry as liars and hyp-
ocrites who differ from him in opinion respect
ing the working and effect of the law in ques-
tons. L would here put q plain question to
Neal Dow in personal form, "Doest thou well
to be angry?'
Mr.. Dow singles out Mr. Ingraham and myself
as liars in respect of what assert regarding the
Maine Law; and almost in the same breath,
acknowledges the truth of our statements so
far as Portland other populous places in
Maine are concerned in the following words
There is far too much drunkenness in t1is
city &c. A melancholy confession for the
place IN which this grand law has been in OPP
Grafton for about 80 years. If the law had had
the effect such as he would like us to believe,
every man and woman in Portland would now
be sober, but instead he accuses from the high
est to the lowest of over indulgence, not even
the members of the bar escaping his denunca-
TONS
This confession of his, too, is so very differ
ent from his usual glowing sentences in praise
OF the moderation and temperance which have
followed the law that one is forced to ask, has
not the truthful enthusiast been hitherto led
away by his imagination and been making
matters assume rosy hue very different from
what they really have.
He admits that drunkenness prevails i'll Port
land and other populous places in the State to
considerable extent. How does he know
that rural districts are free from the same vice?
| presume he goes much on hearsay evidence
HearSay evidence suits his purpose well, but
those who wish to ascertain facts investigate
matters for themselves
The many secret low liquor dens (as he de-
scribes them) in Portland are but the outcome
and effect of his false and mistaken legislation
The novels he refers to, with their contaminat-
ing influences will never be wiped out of the
fair city of Portland until he and the other
American Legislators recognize the necessity of
legalizing licensed houses, under the super
vision and control of the authorities for the
refreshment and accommodation of the people.
Yours truly,

Music Hall was filed last night at the per-
Torrance of Viola Clifton's Lady Minstrels,
which was on the whole, good, though the
singing was hardly what might be expected
The programme was well chosen and varied in
its character and with the exception noted
above and the execrable end-men conundrums,
was good. Especially noticeable was Miss Liz
zie DAILY in her jig and clog dancing, Irene
Santilla and Viola Clifton in their ballet acts,
and Williams and Sullivan in Irish character.

By previous notice the Republicans of this
village met at the Court House last evening to
form hard money club to support Corporal
Davis for Governor. On arrival of the
train Hon. VIM. P. Frye, M. c., came into
town quite unexpectedly. The weather was
rainy, but with this short notice the house was
nearly filled and Mr.. Frye was invited to give
us an address. He came in and gave us one of
his ringing speeches, in which he did honor to
himself. He drew the closest attention
throughout, and the whole congregation was
hushed into silence for an hour and half 1t
was matter of fact speech, presented in Mr..
Frye's forcible manner for which he is so cele-
brated as debater HARD MONEY.
