THE SUPPLY OF FOOD.

Accounts from. all parts of the
country show an abundant supply of
food, both animal and vegetable ;
sufficient not only for our wants, but
to make good, in part at least, the
desolation resulting from the war in
Europe. Not only is the quantity
abundant, but the quality excellent.
We heart that our exports of wheat
from the late crop are pronounced
in Liverpool the finest in quality ever
received in that market from the U.
s., and the quality and condition of
the Indian corn now being marketed
leaves nothing to be desired. The
great quantities of meat, which were
cured during the late packing season
were well fatted and carefully pre-
served. The swine and cattle slaugh-
tered were in sound health. No
distempcr of any sort became general
in any quarter in fact, bat few isOla-
ted cases of disease were reported,
and these were promptly and effect
ually disposed of.
1t is not improbable that for the
current fiscal year, the exports of
vegetable and animal food from the
Atlantic and Gulf ports of the Uni
ted States will be in excess of any
previous year-certainly not surpass-
ed by any. This is matter for
congratulation, not only for the sub
stantial returns which these exports
bring to the Golfers of our agricultu-
ralists, but for the relief which these
vast supplies have carried to people
who, but for them must have suffer
ed with hunger.-NeV York Balle-
tin.

DIET OF THE ANCIENTs. The
difference between the diet of the
ancients and that of us moderns is
very striking. The ancient Greeks
and Romans used no alcoholic liquor
it being unknown to them: nor COT
fee, nor tea, nor chocolate, nor SUI
gar nor even butter, for Galen tells
us that he had never seen butter but
once in his life. They were ignor-
ant of the greater number of our
tropical spices, as Glove, nutmeg,
mace, ginger, Jamaica pepper, cur
ry, pimento. They used neither
buckwheat, nor French beans, nor
spinach, nor sage, tapioca, arrow
root, or potato, or its varieties; not
even the common, but a sort Of
marsh-grown beat-not many of
our fruits, as the orange, tamarind,
nor American maize. On the con
trary, they ate substances which we
now neglect--the mallow, the herb,
ox-tongue, the sweet acorn; the lu-
pin. they liked the flesh of wild
asses, dogs, the dormouse, the fox,
and the bear. hH- ta

HARD TO KILL--A case of at
tempted suicide is reported from
Marlboro, Mass. The principalpar-
ty is man of high social position in
the community ; a good lawyer and
Judge of local court. Some fool
ish and sIanderous stories had work
ed upon his mind to that extent that
he resolved to find relief in Death
But he proved to be a very clumsy
"suicidist. He selected a Smith &
Wesson six-shooter as the instru-
ment of self-destruction, and fired
the contents of every barrel into his
breast. He then reloaded and fred
once more in the same spot Find
ing that after all this shooting ahe
still lived, he let himself have athree
balls in the head, firing one into,
one behind and one just over his
right ear. After the tenth ball his
obstinate body gave way, but his
life at last accounts had refused to
go out at one Of the ten holes that he
hadlmade for its departure. a

PROGRESS. As social equality,
Fourierism, free love and modern
Radlcallsm or Republicanism are
synonymous terms, we give our local
'social equality" readers the benefit
of the following extract from the pow
erful and elaborate forensic effort of
that able Republican lawyer, Alexan-
der Campbell, in the Fair Crittenden
case:
In these days we have many new
theories put forth; it is said to be a
progressive age, and it is so, and l
hope it will continue so, so far as pro-
gress in wisdom, in learning, in arts,
in religion, in morality, i'll the proper
sense of our duties towards one an
other, are concerned. But there are
certain persons who dignity with the
name of progress every vicious
thought which the vicious men and
women may put forward for the utter
destruction and debasement of society.
That kind of progress ahhor.

John Mulcahy; Assessor. &c. Snyder;
City Treasurer, C. b. Smith. For Al
dermen: First Ward, j. j. Cooper;
second Ward, Thomas Kent; Third

Ward, J.. III. Tilton; Second Ward, r.
r.. Lowery; Third Ward, William
Hayes; Fourth ward, j. T. Riordan;
City at large. DR.. c. c. Green. Bar
ring the head, the ticket is a most eX-
cellent one throughout, and ought to
ne and will be elected, unless a vain
effort is made to drag through the
nominee for Mayor. We are not &C
quainted with MI. Derby, the Repub-
lIcan nominee for that position, but
his nomination is presunptive evil
dence of his fitness, and if he is every
other way qualified and is an honest,
OPEN Republican, he ought to be elect
ell by 400 majority-along with the
unauthorized Democrats from John
Mulcahy to William Gosse inclusive.

deprive them of their occupation if, in

party should triumph in the next
