reminding its readers that some time during
the last campaign it warned them that an at
tempt might be made to prescribe what artlcieS

,vas spstained, points to our remarks laudatory
of vegetable diet and the disuse Of meateahng'
as a proof Of It's foresight. Verify tho people OIL
Dover must be happy in having such wonderful
prodigy among them, who can predict shower
when no cloud is apparent, and construe HINT
on the propriety Of economy in food, When
every thing is at famine prices, into an attempt
to raise party TO procure the passage OF a
law 10 "prevent the sale Of meat, except Tor
medicinal purposes, and by certain licensed
butchers" Wonderful, what genius Who
can iortell his destiny
If he could forsee evidence Of the getting
up of vegetarian party in what we said on
that subject, we should like to know how he
will construe the following, which VIC take from
the columns Of one Of his misunderstanding, To-
cofoco-extolling brethren;
Economy in liyiDgis subject which forces
itself upon the attention OF heads Of families
at this time. The high price Of every kind o.
edibles makes II matter OF the first necessity
with all who have not fortunes at their com
mand. The Americans, us people, eat to,
much, and are improvident in regard to thei
table expenses. 1t is the opinion of observing
men that nearly ono-halt the expense Incurred
for eating might be curtailed. Let us try il
Let us eat less animal food, which is eXOTbi
family high, and made higher than it woul
otherwise be by heartless spectators. Let Il
dispense with coffee, tea, sugar, and take
cold water. Sugar and tea, we are told, hav
nearly been monopoli2ed by greedy speculi
tors, and we may expect the prices Of tho
articles to go higher and higher, unless the
is a general disposition to dispense with the
use. This is the only electual way to break |
monopolies and to cure speculation. Let eve
one bring his expenses down to the lowe
possible figure, az least during the prevaili
high prices. This is the best remedy that
can devise Tor this state Of things"
The poor benighted Egyptian who edits
