Ancient Morality.
HOW INTEGRITY WAS PRIZED IN oLDEBGAYs

Of the moral characteristics Of the early
cities We should be glad to know more, how
the quiet course of domestic life glided on
beneath the walls of Karnak and the tower
Belus; what virtues were priced; what joys
or SORROWS disturbed the current of exist
ence. How far the modern city c1cels the
ancient in good order or tranquility is diff
cult to determine. Yet somo indications of
moral progress may be discovered. The
corruption of Babylon and Thcbes was fol-
lowed, after the lapse of centuries, by the
higher culture of Greece. Athens taught
humanity. No gladiatorial shows nor hu-
man sacrifices were permitted by its pro-
grcssivc people. Demosthenes boasted that
his life had been passed in the service of
his native city, and in constant effort to
win the esteem of his fellow citizens; Peri
cles, that no Athenan had ever suffered by
his fault. Benevolencc and charity were
cultivated in all the Greek cities The name
of Gilias of Agrigentum is preserved, whose
immense fortune was wholly employed in
aiding the INDECENT and providing for the
welfare Of others-the Coutts or Peabody
of antiquity. Integrity was priced as the
chief of civic virtues. To make profit from
a public office was an objectionable crime.
Pcricles boasted that he had never incrtased
his moderate inheritance by single drachma
through all his long tenure of Office. Aristi-
des was known as the Uncorrupt In the
purcr days of Rome the great lived in poy-
erty, and Fabricus cooked his own simple
fare. Cato was so careful of his own honor
that he weighed and accounted for all the
gold he brought from the East Regulus,
rather than violate an oath, went back cheer
fully to slavery and death, leaving his family
dependent on charity. Of all tho plumber
of wealthy Carthage, he took nothing
Horace has painted, in the grandest of
lyrics, tie NAL Of conscious integ :ity, who,
intent on some noble aim, de6es- the rage of
tyrants, Or the clamor of the people. Ju-
venal and Tacitus, in deathless satires, hold
up to degenerate age, the igor Of ancient
honesty. Lycurgus was for twelve years
the controller of Athens in its last decline.
Millions Of revenue passed through his
hands, yet every fourth year his accounts
were audited, and were found to be rigilly
correct. At length, when he was dy .ng, he
demanded new examination. The audi
tors reviewed his long career; his accounts
were again declared to be perfectly accurate;
they were engraved on marble tablets, and
The Athenian controller died happyin the
approval Of his own conscience and Of his
native city,. -
Fragments Of the marble tablets, it is
said, have been discovered at Athens, and
might prove instructive models for modern
fnanciers.

As announced in yesterday mornings
Commcrciai, the Duke and his suite took a
special train on the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, at o'clock A. NJ, to visit Mann

Custar was running the thing into the ground,
but still it was the best thing, on the whole,
that could be done under the circumstan-
ccs existing.
At the depot there was large crowd of
people congrcgated to take last look at his
Imperial Ilighness, and arriving as soon as
o'clock. The 6rand Duke and suite ac-
companicd by a number Of young ladies and
their friends, from this city, who go to the
Cave on a pleasure trip, arrived i'll carriages
little before o'clock, and Immediately
took THAR seats in the cars.
The Grand Duke walked with quick step
from the carriage to the car, evidently anx-
ious to avoid the scrutiny Of the crowd. Af-
ter the Ducal party had entered the cars the
crowd swarmcd into the depot, and along
tile platform. pceping into the car windows
and inquiring for the Duke.

off at sharp nine, and his Imperial Highness,

In his extensive travel on railroads he saw
card with Fifteen minutes for refresh

happy idea of carrying it with him, and
whenever he is bored with the people about
him, pulls out this card, shows it to his
kind friends, and times it with his watch,
This he repeats twice an hour on long trips,
and finds it to be cmnently y successful. We

THE REFORM MOVEMENT SoUTH-The
Press Of Mississippi unite in calling a con-
vention of the representatives of political
conservatism in that State. The convention
will be held at Meridian on the 23d Of JAN
uary. 1t is to be remarked that most of the
papers of the State speak of this meeting as
non-partisan. 1t is designed by most of
them to rescue the State from the hands of
those who have plundercd it, and in attempt
ing this end they ignore all party associa.
tions. In this way were Tennessee, Virgin
ia and Missouri enabled to throw of the
yoke of disfranchiscmcnt, and put down party
outlawry and rescue their taxpayers from
official plundcrcrs. When Mississippi has
organized this policy another Southern State
will be added to Missouri and Virginia. IF
all the other states would agree upon the
same action, their friends at the North would
know how to make coalition with liberal
Republicans who know what they would
have to rely on by cutting loose from the
Grant wing ofthc Republican party.-Nash-
rWc Bonncr.

\ NOVEL WEAPoN.-IEme&iately after
the declaration OF war against Prussia, pro-
posals were made to the Emperor, Napoleon,
by an inventor, for "annihilating" the Prus-
slams on modern terms An immense net OF
fine wire, ''capable Of cnvcloping an entire
army corps" with solid cannon balls attached
to the corners to keep it steady, was to have
been fired at the foe from i monster mortar
provided for that purpose. The wire net
would, according to the intentions of the IN
ventor, have fallen on the body Of troops
marked out for destruction or capture; when,
seeing the enemies cntanglcd in the meshes,
the French would have nothing to do but
march up to them to death. The rejection
of this new military machine was attributed
by the inventor to ''trcachery' on the part
Of the chiefs who declined to employ it.

THE GENTLEMAN-He is above mean
thing. lie cannot stoop to a mean fraud.
He inyades no secret in keeping Of another.
He betrays no secret confided to his keeping.
Ho never struts in borrowed plumagc. lie
never takes selfish advantage of our mistakes.
He uses no ignoble weapons in controversy.
He never stabs in the dark. He is ashamed
of inuendoes. He is not one thing toaman's
face and another behind his back. If by
accident no comes into possession Of his neigh
bor's counsel, he passes upon them an act OF
instant oblivion. He bears sealed packages
without tampcring with the wax. Papers not
intended for his eyes, whether they tlutter
at his window or lie in unguardcd exposure
before him, arc sacred to him. lie inyades
no privacy cf others, however the sentry
sleeps. Bolts and bars, locks and keys, hcdg-
cs and pickets, bonds and securities, notices
of trcspass, are none of them for him. He
may be trusted by himself out of sight near
the thinnest partition-anywhcre. He buys
no Office, he sells none, he ntrigucs for none.
lie would rather fail of his rights than win
them through dishonor. lie will cat honest
bread. He tramps on no mans sensitive
feelings. lie insults no man. If he has re-
buke for any one he is straightforward, open
and manly about it. lie cannot descend to
scurrility. In short, whatever he Judges
honorable he practices toward every man.

DENT-Tbe Cincinnati Commercials Wash
ington correspondent thus sketches Justice
David Davis of Illinois:
Physically, Judge Davis is picture. Tc
is very tall and large; his shoulders are
broad his frame large and massive and his
stomach beautifully rounded, like an inycrt-
ed balloon, from his throat to his hips. His
stomach is, I should say, artistically consid-
cred, a trifc too large, but it is very jolly,
and his wais.coat fits over it tight and nice,
as though it were proud to have such lin
ing. Altogether Judge Davis is very con-
spicuous man. His weight must be over
three hundred pounds, and, if report be
true; he has 4 million of dollars for every
hundred pounds of flesh. His head, sur
mounting such massive frame looks small
but l judge it tn be of more than ordinary
size. His hair is brown, plentifully mixed
with grey, and close y cut. He wears a
closely trimmed beard, also grey, but no
moustache. His eyes arc blue, or grey, and
very mild, but his nose was evidently intend
ed for man with large face. His age is
filty-seven, and he is as young and active as
a man of his size, can be. Physically and
intellectually hcis just in his prime, being
no older in appearance than ordinary men Of
forty-fvc.

MEETING AT NEWARK.

The anti Greeley Democrats held meeting
at Newark on Saturday evening last. The
meeting was small, but determined and
spirited. 1t was called to order by the election
OF John A. Reynolds President, and Joseph
Dean, Jr., Secretary. The object of the meet.
ing was stated by William Dean to be the
formation of Democratic club. He said that
for dozen years Democrats had been bound
together by set Of principles which were sup
posed to be good, and he believed they were.
The men at Cincinnati were all Republicans
and none of them Democrats, and as the Gin
clnnatl Convention nominated the ticket and
made the platform he begged leave to dissent
from them both. For this he had been
branded as "bolter." but he claimed it was
misappEcation. He then referred to the men
who had made the nomination of the party.
and proved them all to be corrupt from their
records Greeley, he said, had gone further
than any OF those men i'll traducing the Demo-
cratic party, but it was alleged that he DEAN
as member of the Convention which chose
Delegates to Baltimore, was bound to abide by
the decision In accordance with this doctrine
he maintained that if the Baltimore Conyen-
tion had nominated Fred Douglass or Grant
and Wilson, he would also have been bound to
have adhered to it. Referring to the position
OF the Democratic party in Delaware in 1862
he said that since that time every office in the
State has been filled by Democrats, and there
was no necessity for this coalition to preserve
the control OF the State in the keeping in which
1t had been, and was now resting. With such
bargain and sale, he predicted defeat as
great as that in North Carolina. and wherever
else the popular verdict has been rendered
upOn this issue. The putting Of this mOngrel
ticket in power he claimed would endanger
American liberty, for they were nothing but
disappointed office seekers. If others of the
Democratic party saw tit to vote for them they
could do SO, but he never would.
Mr.. Dean then presented a constitution and
rules of government for straight-out Demo
cratic club for signatures.
Eight persons then came forward and appen-
ded their names, as follows: VIM Dean, John
A: Reynolds, Wm. McAnaly, Jos. Dean, Jr.,
Wm. Robinson, John NJ. Laughlin, Edward r.
Wilson and William Morrison. The CONNER
ciat says Mr.. Dean knows personally of fifty
two others who will sign the pledge, but who
were unable to be present on Saturday night.
The names of many Of these gentlemen will
hereafter appear
