LETTER FROM PORTLAND, MAINE.


ED. JOURNAL :--I nm now sitting on an
cmbankmcnt rs or so feet above the level
Of the ground OF which am about to de-
scribe. II is what Is called the "Western
Promenade" The hill is almost perpen-.
dicular. I look down ut my right snd see
a s,pnll village Tor settlcmenU which con-
tains many very pleasant residences, and
the beautiful trees and long railroad
bridge Running through 1t, with forests OF
pine trees beyond, all presenting a very
pleasant picture. At the left is depot,
rolling mill, machine shops, several rail.
ro ads running in different directions, aud
also passenger bridge which crosses Casco
Ba y to Cape EliLebeth. The latter If just
opposite me, and | can plainly see the city
aud surroundings. Near the bay is the
Reform School, a very large building.
There ia also very large ice house nj my
left, where vessels lo,d with ice for Philn-
delphia and other parts. 1t is built OF

to look up to where have been sitting 8
n very pleasant view. There is forest of
pine trees sloping from the top to the bot.
tom, all along the embnnkment. The City
Hospital and its spacious grounds look
very handsome. The main building is
Of brick. We also have an eastern prone

some future time.
OLD ORCHARD BEACH.
BY taking the train from the city and
riding or 8 miles, one can enjoy very
pleasant day Tor week, or as long as one
wishes TO stay) Mt the beach, which is said
to be the largest one in the States. 1t il
supplied with three very handsome large
hotels, and several smaller ones, boarding
houses, cottages and residences of all de-
scriptions. 1t is situated on the Boston d
Maine railroad, Tor rather the railroad
runs through it.) The beach when il is

locomotive up mud down the beach. On
the railroad they huve large skating rink,
camp meeting church, observatory, and
everything one could wish. A fine view OF
the ocean is had from this point, and n day

ant in warm weather. 1t is delightful
ride to Old Orchard. We passed several
small farms, and near Lake Scarborn there
are meadows OF salt grass, cut and stacked
ready to be stored away. 1t is "a kind OF
grass that grows in water and it makes no
difference how deep the water is it will
continue to grow, and when the water
dries off the field the grass is cut and put
in stacks as was seen. But they will have
them set upon rest TO prevent them from
remaining in the water. This hay the cat

The weather has been very pleasant TO

showers in some parts of the State the pas
week, and 1t now threatens rain hero.

Mr.. E. W. Merry. of Bowling Green, was
over on the first Of the week, giving the
Republican boys their cue, which, in sub
stance, is that the peoples movement
against ring rule is move to break up the
Republican party IN Wood county. And
OF course he would have TO leave some of
Fosters filthy lucre where it would do the
most good in securing Democratic votes
with an eye single to Fosters purpose.
OF course Mr.. Merry did not stop to reflect
for moment when he and Auditor Care

Ito meet the Losses in frmtless campaign
for State Senator and the successful though
expensive campaign for a third term fol

FROM A DEMOCRATIC MAYOR.


My DEAR SIR - . ] have had
good opportunity to observe the condition
Of this state in the matter OF the Use and
sale of intoxicating liquors for several years
past, M compared with other states where
there are no prohibitory laws, and am cer-
tain that the rural portions Of Maine are,
and have been, in an infinitely better cor
dilon with reference TO the sale and use of
such liquors than similar portions of other
states referred to; and are, and have been,
moreover, comparatively free from both
the sale and mse, aud this must fairly lie
considered the result of prohibitory law.
AT the present time $ the law is
probably enforced even in large towns aud
cities MS thoroughly, at least, Ms amy other
penal statute. WILLIAM S. PUTNAM.
Mr.. Putnam was democratic mayor fomr
years ago. His party has always opposed
prohibition. Hence the special value Of
his testimony.

FROM PASTORS OF VARIOUS CHURCHES IN
PORTLAND.
PORTLAND, May 81, 1872.
As TO the effect OF the Maine Law upon
the fiic in strong drinks, we sny, without
hesitation, that the trade in Intoxicating
liquors has been greatly reduced by it.
In this city, the quantity sold now is but
a small fraction Of what we remember the
sales to have been, and we believe the re.
tuits are the same, or nearly 80, throughout
ihe state. II the trade exists at all here,
al is carried on with secrecy and canton,
ns other unlawful practices are. All our
people must agree that the benefits of this
state of things are obvious and very great.

SEEMS ALMOST INCREDIBLE.

In connection with his providential es-
cape from the jaws of the most horrible
death which could fall to the lot of hui
one incident which shows decidedly too
strongly how far cupidity or a most
wretched selfshness can be made to even
triumph over the destruction of all things
earthly. When he found himself safely
downstairs, clad only in his night clothes,
he also fortunately found his overcoat and
grip" by his side. He says that he has
no recollection of taking them downstairs,
but must have done so. Opening his
satchel he took out suit of flannel under
wear, which he put on, but he had nothing
for his feet The general Offices of his
company, which were open, were directly
across the street, and he knew that if he
could be sufficiently protected for even so
short trip he would there find the shelter
he needed. We all remember what pitt
less night that of Tuesday was, therefore
do not wonder at Mr.. Mahoney's anxiety to
cover his nakedness with something before
venturing upon the street While wonder
ing where he would be able to find some
thing for his feet, young Mr.. Antisdel (son
of the Newhall proprietor handed him
pair of slippers, telling him to put them
on and welcome. Before be had time to i.
do this, however. one of the fe-
male Antisdels snatched them away from
him, declaring that they should not be used
for.such a purpose. Could anything evinc-
ing more contemplate spirit have been
done. while great hotel was sinking to
ashes, carrying with it scores of human
beings: Why, the thought of it almost
makes one wish he were among the aborig
ines.

To-N1aHT's ENTERTAINMENT.

The people of this city and vicinity have
been kept fully posted respecting the adj
vent of the famous Harrison company in
Rock Island tonight. From out of a
batch of highly enlogistic press notices the
ARGUS selects the following FROM the New
ork Sun to show how they are regarded
by the amusement going public of New
York city:
Alice and Louis Harrison produced their
new play Viva; or. A Sisters Sacrifice" at
the Griswold last evening, before a large
and enthusiastic audience. The play was
a decided success. 1t reccunts the ad-
ventures of two strolling TIA liam musicians
Viva and Carlo, and mixed up with their
affairs is noble hearted old fellow,
Giametta, who fed from his native land
on account of political troubles The
drama furnishes Alice with an opportunity
to exhibit her talent as an emotional
actress. She is truly 4 wonderful little
lady. She sang sweetly, danced prettily
and acted with all the vim of a woman
trained for nothing but the legitimate
stage. Louis, of course, acquitted him
self creditably. P. Aug Anderson as
Giamett2 won the hearts of the audi
ence. The drama teens with novel effects,
and the denouement is startling, to say the
least. Viva" is booked for long run.
