This gloomy crop news comes from
the Bainbridge Democrat: We are
now having plenty oi rain, and in
some localities, too much for the

half a crop would be a fair estimate

not be over half a crop compared
with last year.

Cotton is still uncertain. Many farm

caused them a loss of half that crop,
and some contend for even more.
That this crop is most unpromising,
none will deny. But with a lino grain
crop assured, we will continue to

HOW AN OLD-TIME ST. LOUIS FIRM WERE
SWINDLED BY DUNCAN, SHERMAN t
CO.
Duncan, Sherman & Cos. have gone
under, or rather up, and from all ap
pearances, says a contributor to the
New York Mercury, and in spite of
the copious whitewashing applied by
the daily journals, the failure ap
pears to lie a pretty bad oue. Looked
at broadly and with a full knowledge
of the past history of this banking
house, it bears intrinsic evidence that
there is retributive justice in this
world. But few men are living who
know that Duncan, Sherman & Cos.
have fallen because they received
precisely the samo treatment which
they were in the habit of meting out
to others. They appealed in vam for
help to those whom their business
had helped to enrich, just as they
used to refuse aid to those from whom
they could squeeze nothing more.
Alexander Duncan, an immensely
wealthy Scotch commoner, the Bal
ing brothers, who as bankers, are
only second in importance to the
Bothsehilds in the financial world,
and the Union Bank of London, an
institution that ranks next to the
Bank of England, were the backers
in Europe of this New York house.
As long as everything went smooth
and profits flowed abundantly into
their Hootch and English money bags,
■ Duncan, Sherman ,v Cos. had all the
assistance they wanted. But as
soon as the moment of extreme pres
sure came and assistance was most
needed, the Scotch as well as the
English turned their backs on New
York, and said in substance: "Get
away and stop begging, Messrs. Dun
can, Sherman & Cos.; break if you
can t help it; we have not another
fnttung for you; wo must protect our
selves." That was the plain English
of the cable dispatches which the
bankrupt firm received from Alexan
der Duncan, from the Barings, and
the Union Batik on Tuesday morn
ing, July 27, and ton minutes later
tile doors were closed. It was this
flat refusal that necessitated bank
ruptcy, and it was just such a refusal,
couched almost in t he same language,
by which Duncan, Sherman & Cos.,
twenty years ago, forced the loading
banking-house of St. Louis, the firm
of I’age & Bacon, into disastrous
bankruptcy. The curse which they
pronounced over the Western bank
ers in In-17 lias, like chickens, come
home to roost, and they should not
complain that the medicine which
they compelled St. Louis to take is
now sot before themselves.
Page & Bacon did the largest bank
ing business in St. Louis. The head
of the firm was Daniel D. Page, a na
tive Scotchman, first a baker, then a
successful flour merchant and miller,
and one of the heaviest land owners
in the city. Henry Bacon, his part
ner, was also his son-in-law—a very
active and enterprising young man
at whose suggestion old Mr. Page
consented to open a banking house
in 1817, leaving Us management to
the more experienced Bacon. The
business flourished from the start.
The vast property of D. D. Page
formed a stout backing to the con
cern, the known ability of Henry Ba
con increased the confidence of the
public, and, ns both wore Democrats,
they profited through the opportuni
ty ottered by tie- Mexican war, under
the administration of Mr. Polk,which
made St, Louis the disbursing ooutre
uf large sum of money for tlio army.
Everything went on well, and as
Duncan, Sherman & Cos. were the
New York agents rtf Pago & Bacon,
both firms made large gains. In l kip
and ’SO St. Louis took a sudden leap
forward. An immense immigration
from Europe, es|ocially from Germa
ny, thrown u.u-o the ocean by the
unfortunate collapse of the revolu
tion of 1848, settled either in St. Louis
or somewhere in its vicinity. Most of
them were people of means, and with
the traditional desire of Germans to
own land, they bought real estate.
The trade iu building-lots assumed
enormous proportions,, and values
rose rapidly. Page & Bacon saw
heavy profits in the movement, and
at once started with building up the
extensive properly of Mr. Pago, soil
ing houses and lots with small cash
payments and on long mortgages at
great advantage, and using tho funds
of the bank in buying more land.
But in 1854 this upward tendency
came to a sudden stop: sales, of land
gradually ceased, amt Page & Bacon
found themselves unexpectedly in
difficulty to meet all the demands
upon them. Early in tho Fall of that
year the great sugar refinery of Bel
cher Brothers, in St. Louis, tho larg
est establishment of its kind that was
then in the country, suspended pay
ment, and Page & Bacon held a large
amount of its discredited paper. Dis
trust began to creep upon the com
mercial community of tho city. Ba
con saw the storm coming, and hur
ried to New York. Here he opened
negotiations with Duncan, Sherman
& So., with whom he had been doing
a lucrative business for seven years.
The confidence came to a conclusion
on the third day at midnight, ini Ba
con’s room in the New York hotel,
and he was promised that ids firm
should have a creditor $250,000 on the
strength of the securities Bacon had
to offer-valid mortgages on improved
property in St. Louis. Henry Bacon
returned homo in bright spirits, but
he was thundei'stniet a few days later
when a telegram informed him that
Duncan, Sherman & Cos. could not
help them, as they must first look
out to protect themselves. For God’s
sake," he telegraphed back, "do not
desert us; if you do we are ruined,
and hail of fit. Louis with us.” But
the New York house was inexorable,
and sent word that a banking house
had no right to risk its money in real
estate or other speculations. There
upon Page Bacon closed their
doors, other bankers followed, many
mercantile establishments succum
bed. Page gave up every thing he
had, and most of it was squandered
in the settlement, and he himself
died of a broken heart.
Precisely in the same way Duncan,
Sherman it Cos. were assured in Lon
don not six weeks ago that their cred
it would be protected and their paper
honored. But on the 27th of July
theywero told that they could not be
accommodated, as a banking house
had no right to tie up its funds in cot
ton and railroad speculations. Like
Page & Bacon, they were also forced
to stop business. Thus far the paral
lel is complete. May the New York
firm not snare more of the same fate
that befel their St. Louis correspond
ents of twenty years ago..

Another Church Scandal.
(From tho Boston Herald.]
i Tho church, trial 6f Rev. G. W.
I Porter, by tho Methodist Episcopal
i church for adultery and charges made
by L. D. Pember, commenced Thurs
day at the clmreh iu Dauby Borough,
| Vt., before tho presiding elder, the
Rev. Mr. Watson, of the Burlington
| District. The hearing was opened
| at two o,clock in tho afternoon, and
continued through tho ovening and
the next day. Quito a number of
tho ministers and other geutlomeu
are present. The trial has been
somewhat private, and only tlioso
who were invitod have attended.
Miss Hattie Allen, the young lady
with whom Mr. Porter is charged
with having tho illicit intercourse,
made a clean breast of the whole
affair, giving dates, times and places.
Letters have also been introduced
as testimony against Mr. Porter
written to Miss Allen, although hav
ing no signature, but admitted by her
to iuvve come from him. Miss Allen
was on tile witness stand some nine
hours, and it is said has not been
crossed once, but told a
good straight story. Tho ex
mination seemed to be through
on the part of the church, and no
effort appeared to iiavo been made
at any time to cover up or evade any
thini; connected,with the scandal. Mr.
Porter's wife is present at the trial.
Mr. Porter was arrested on Wednes
day at twelve o’clock by officer Howe,
on a warrant issued in behalf of tho
State. Bail was readily procured to
tlie amount of SI,OOO for his appear
ance at. Court, to be held in Dauby
on tile 17th of August, 'L'lio trial
seems to cause considerable excite
ment, and the friends of Mr. Porter
seem to bo greatly surprised and dis
appointed at t ho developments.
.Ilimirnl Kilos,
In Central Asia the amusement of
flying kites is a.s popular as in Europe
or America; but it is made to yield a
double gratification. It delights the
oar by an emission of soft, melodious
murmuring*, at tho same time that
it. plouses tHo eye with its graceful,
birdiike motions. Eaoli kite is so
constructed as to produce the effect
of a floating JEolian harp, and thus
tho flight and the song of winged
warblers are both imitated in tho in
genious plaything.
Major Abbott gives a description
of the musical kites in his "Narra
tive of a Journey from Herat to Khi
va," “Each kite is a square formed
upon two diagonals of light, whose
extremities are connected by a t ight
string, forming the sides of the
squares. Over Lire whole paper is
pasted. A loose string upon the up
right diagonal receives the string by
which tho kite is to be held and a
tail is fastened to lower extremity.
Tho trausversed lagonal or cross stick
is then bent back like a strong bow,
and fastened by a thread of catgut,
Of course every breeze that passes
tho kite vibrates this tight, cord, and
tho vibrations are communicated to
the highly sonorous frame of the kite.
And as numbers of these kites are
left floating in the air all night, the
effect is that, of aerial music, monoto
nous, but full of melancholy inter
est,"
A Mummy llbruvcml in Kentucky.
The discovery of a female mummy
in Grand Avenue Cave, near Glasgow
Junction, Barren county, by Eugene
U, Proctor is attracting the attention
of tho arelneologists of the country.
Major M. Proctor has received a tel
egram from Spencer F. Bard, of
Wood’s Hole, Massachusetts, inquir
ing if the mummy can be obtained by
tho Smithsonian Institute for the
purpose of exhibition at the Centen
nial. Major Proctor is considering
the proposition. The mummy was
discovered the evening of the 2nd ult,
while Lee’s avenue was being explor
ed. Is is that of a woman four feet
and live inches in length. When
found it was lyingon Us left side, in a
sleeping posture. The left arm was
resting on the ground, but the left
arm rests on tho bosom with the
hand under tho chin. The flesh on
the arms and lower limbs isshrunk
eri, but the body and head are well
preserved. The face rond and full,
and a correspondent says "very beau
tifl.” 11 is perfectly white, and shows
no Indian characteristics in form.

IIIS ESCAl'li ALMOST CERTAIN.
Charleston, 8. C., August 17.
There was an exciting time last eve
ning in Columbia, caused by a pro
ceeding under a writ of habeas cor
pus for the release of ox-i'reasurer
Parker. The application was heard
at 5 r. m. before Judge McKay, Par
ker’s counsel claiming Itisjdisehargo
under tho provision of tho Constitu
tion prohibiting debt, Tho sheriff’s
roturn failed to allege that tho cose
was one; of fraud—a charge which is
expressly excepted in the constitu
tional prohibition of imprisonment
for debt, -and after argument tho
Judgo released tho prisoner. The
court-room was filled with an
excited crowd, and Parkerwus imme
diately re-arrested on a criminal war
rant for grand larceny, but his eoun
selavaived an examination, and urg
ing that the amount involved iu tho
alleged robbery had nothing to do
with tho amount of bail. They suc
ceeded in getting him released on
$20,000 hail.
It is generally believed that Parker
will esoape and forfeit his bail. The
.Nines and Courier denounce the re
lease of l’arkor as a gross judicial
outrage and a put-up job by certain
State officials who feared Parker
would implicate them in his robbery.

A PPLETONS’
American Cyclopaedia.
Now Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by tho ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new typo, and illus
trated with Several Thousand Engravings
and Maps.
The work originally published under the title
of The New American Cyclopacdia was com
pleted in 1808, since which time tho wide circula
tion which it bus attained iu all parts of the
United States, and tho signal developments which
have taken place iu every branch of science, lit
erature and art, have induced the editors and
publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough
revision, ami to issue u new edition on titled The
Amkiiigan Cvolop.kdia.
Within the last ten years tho progress of dis
covery iu every department of knowledge lias
made anew work of reference an imperative
want.
Tho movement of political affairs has kept pace
with tho discoveries of science, and their truitfu
application to the industrial and useful arts and
tho convenience and refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred. involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was nt its height when the last volume oi
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and a now course of commercial and industrial
activity has boon commenced.
Largo accessions to our geographical knowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
Tho great political revolutions of tho laßt de
cade, with the uutural result of the lapse of time,
have brought into public view a multitude of new
men, whose names are iu ovory one’s mouth, and
of whose lives every oue is curious to know the
particulars. Groat battles have been fought and
important sieges maintained, of which tho de
tails are as yet preserved only in the newspapers
or iu the transient publications of tho day, but
which ought now to take their place iu perma
nent and authentic history.
Iu preparing tho present edition for tho press,
it lias accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the lutest possi
ble dates, and to furnish an accurate account of
the most recent discoveries iu science, of every
fresh production in literature, and of tho newest
inventions iu the practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political and historical events.
Tho work has boon begun alter long aud care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources tor carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of the original stereotype (dates have
beeu used, but every page has been printed on
now typo, forming in fact anew Cyclopaedia, with
the same plan and compass as its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements in its composition
as have beeu suggested by longer experience and
enlarged kuowledge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
first, time in the present edition Lave been added
not for the sako of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity aud force to the explanations in
the text. They embrace all branches of science
and of natural history, and depict the most
famous aud remarkable features of scenery,
architecture and art, as well as the various pro
cesses of mechanics aud manufactures.
Although intended for instruction rather than
embelishmcnt, no pains have been spared to in
sure tlieir artistic excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, and it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
feature of the Cyclopaedia, aud worthy of its
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
in sixteen largo octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand Wood Engravings, aud with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act.
IT
iio
If one grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from tho
cow’s Udder and kept dry for years, then mois
ten od. and the keenest point of a Lancet dipped
in it aiul drawn gently on the arm, bo as not to
draw the blood, will so impregnate aud change
the entire system as to prevent the party so vac
cinated from taking the most loathsome of dis
eases (small pox) for an entire life; again, if the
Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin
habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu
brious clime, by simply absorbing from the at
mosphere the poison malaria, why will not the
proper remedy, proporly applied, neutralize and
destroy the poison, known as malaria, and thus
enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with
impunity?
We claim that there is such a remedy, and that
we havo prepared it, aud applied it, and proved
it iu our Anti-malarial or Euchymial Belt—aud
that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit
tho worst malarial districts without tho fear of
having any diseases arising from malaria; such as
Chills aud Fever, Billious or Intermittent Fever,
Yellow Fever, Jaundice, F.ulargcd Liver and
Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem
orrhoids, and tha>’ it will cure all the above dis
eases, except tho worst cases of Billious and Yel
low Fever.
This is called an Anti-malarial or Euchymial
Belt, aH it corrects the humors of the nody and
produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys
tem, and thus enabling it to per.orm its various
duties without feariug tho effects of malaria iu
the least.
It has been tried in thousands of cases without
a failure.
They can be obtained from the proprietors in
any quantity at the Powell Building, junction of
Broad ami Peachtree streets, Atlanta, Ga.
Price for a single Belt SB, or $5 with a guaran
tee that it will cute or the money refunded.

Messrs. Love k Willson: Gentlemen—ln April
last I was taken sick with regular Fever and
Ague, having it every alternate day. Alter It bad
run on mo for two weeks, I was induced to try
one of your Anti-malarial belts; so I discarded all
medicine, aud Birnply wore one of your Bolts, as
directed, and my Ague became lighter each suc
cessive time thereafter for some three or four
times, when it left mo entirely, with a good appe
tite and clear skin; aiul in future, it I should ever
have a Chill or Ague, I would want one of your Pads,
and no physic. Wishing everybody that may be
ao unfortunate as to have Chills aud Fever may
be fortunate enough to get oue of your Belts,
I am, respectfully, etc.,

Ou the firßt day of December last I was taken
with Chills and Fever in ThomasviUe, Southwes
tern Ga„ and was treated for the same by three
eminent physicians who were able to stop it only
for a few ‘lays at a time. It made such inroads
ou my constitution that my physician pronoun
ced me to bo in the first stages of consumption,
wh eu I accidentally met up with Drs. Love k Will
sou’s Anti-malarial Belt, which has entirely cured
me. 1 havo had but ono chill since#.and that was
the first day alter putting it ou. lam now in as
good health as I ever was iu my lile, and think
this Belt a Gwd-sond to tho afflicted.

Some nine years ago I contracted malaria iu
Savannah, Ga., from which I have suffered, at
times, over siuce, until I met up with Drs. Lovete
Willson’s Anti-malarial Belt some three months
ago. I havo worn it continually, and have had no
chill since, aud find my general health, which
has been poor, much improved. I would recom
mend it to others suffering with malaria.
