AMERICAN ANTIQUlllEs.-Several specimens
OF American antiquities have recently arrived in
this city. They were discovered by an American
traveller. whilst exploring the country of the Sier-
ra Madre. near San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and ex
cavated from the ruins of m ancienl CITY, the ex.
lstence of which is wholly unknown 10 the presen,
lnhD bItants. either by tradition or history Thev
comprise two idols and sncrifcial BASIN bewn
from solid blocks of concrete sandstone, and are
now IN The most perfect state of preservation.
The removal Of these heavy pieces of statuary
from the mountains was accomplished by means
OF wooden seds. transported by canoes to the
mouth of the Panuco, and from thence slapped To-
this port.
The largest of the idols was undoubtedly tho
GOD OF Sacrifice. and one of the most important
lIs OF life-size, and the only complete specimen
of the kind that has ever been discovered and
brought away from the country.
The smaller Idol is the God of Sorrow TO whom
worshppers came TO offer up their devotions for
the tears 1t shed. and the relief afforded them in
their griefS. This statue is diminutve. the carv-
ings plain. and the whole simply devised.
The SacrlhciaI Basin measures two feet in di-
ameter and displays much skill a nd truth 10 tho
workmanship. 1t is held by TWO serpents en-
twined, with their heads reversed--the symbol OF
eternity. which enters largely into the mythology
OF the ancient Egyptians. The Egyptian gallery
of the British Museum contains several specimens
of the work here desc bed.-[ N. o.. Picayune.

What Neat "A man in New York, named
Porter, has invented steamer which floats in the
air. few days ago its powers were exhibited
in large hall in New York. and the experiment
was quite satisfactory, convincing tho persons
present that the undertaking was feasible. 1t is
expected that the aerial steamer viii move at the
rate OF 100 miles hour in calm weather, and
at the rate Of 70 miles an hour against an ordi-

AN HONORABLE MAN.-Although man cannot
be an honorable man without being u honest man.
yet man may be strictly honest wiihou, being
honorable. Honesty refers TO pecuniary affairs
honor refers 20 the principles and feelings. He
may pay his debts punctuaIly. he may defraud no
man, and yet he may act dishonoraby. Ho acls
dishonorabIy when he gives his correspondents n
worse opinion Of his rivals in trade than he knows
they deserve. He acts dishonorabIy when he
sells his commodities at less than their real value,
in order to get away his neighbours customers.
He ncts dishonorably when he purchases at higher
than the market price, IN order that he may raise
the market upon another buyer. He acts disho-
norabIy when he draws accommodation bills, and
passes them to his banker for discount, as if they
arose out of real transactions. He acts dshono-
rably in every case wherein his external conduct
is at variance with his real opinions. He acts
dishonorably, If, when carrying prosperous
trade, he does not allow his servants and assis-
tants. through whose exertions he obtains his sue
cess, TO share in his prosperity. lie acts disho-
norabIy, if, after he has become rich. he is un-
mindful of the favors he received when he was
poor. In all these cases there may be no iDten-
lional fraud. 1t may not be dishonest, but it may
be dishonorable conduct.
