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.. —The Augusta Constitutionalist says there are nowin course of construc tion. at the sliops of the Georgia Bail road in that city, two new sleeping cars, which are expected to be fully a3 fine, and jirobabiy more comforta ble than the Pullman cars formerly run on the road. COLUMBUS, GA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1875. 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. Nerlou. Accident to Kdwin uoofli. New York, August 17.

His wife immediately telegraphed to Mr. Me* Bickers, of Chicago, her father. Mrs. Booth, the mother of Mr. Booth, and his brother Joseph wore summoned from Long Branch, and immediately started for the scene of the accident. Tt is expected that Booth’s injuries will at least disable him for several months, if they do not result fatally. He is under an important engage ment to Baly, of tiie Fifth Avenue Theatre, and to Ford, of Baltimore. Alabama Cotton. Union Sprinos, Ala., 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.

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.

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.

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., W. J. Wilson. Atlanta, Ga., June 3,1875 Das.

I would recom mend it to others suffering with malaria. R. A. Wallace. Macon, Ga., June 4, 1875.
