tween the diet of the ancients and that of Us
moderns is very striking. The ancient Greeks
and Romans used no alcoholic liquor. il being

colate, nor sugar, nor even butter; for Galen
informs us he had seen butter but once in his
life. They were ignorant of The greater mum

used neither buckwheat nor French beans nor
spinach, nor sage, iaploca, salep, w-root, nor
potato or ITS varieties; nor even the common,
but sort OF marsh grown bean nor many of

! holden at the State House in Newport
May 7th, 1871, A. ID. the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted
Hon. Byron Diman in the Chair, and
jesse l.. Moss, Scc'ry.
Uhcreas, it has pleased Almighty
God, 20 remove from this world the
| Chief Magistrate Of this nation, and thus
to assign the guidance of our National
concerns to him who in that contingency
was chosen to I'LL the same high sta
iion, and whereas in the first official
acts and announcements Of President
Tylor, us well as in his previous life Of
patriotic integrity and honor, we find
just cause to belle vc that the same sound
and wholesome principles Of govern
mcnt-the same views in regard to the
great objects of tho constitution and
interests Of tho country, which were
entertained by his lamented predcces-
sor are also cherished by him, and in
his official actions will be earnestly
pursued and firmly maintained.
Therefore Resolred, That while We.
have a deep sense of tho bereavement
which tho nation has sustained in the
death Of President Harrison, we are
bound to remember that our ufiliction
has beon tempered with mercy; that in
he midst Of mourning we have ample
,ause for gratitude, Tor mistaken rcli-
lnce upon Divine goodness, and for
unqualified confidence in the wisdom,
snd honor to which the con-
luet Of our National affairs is now in.
