NEW YORK.

New York, August l2,-The discov-
cry has been made that a large amount
Of indebtedness Of Duncan, Sherman 4
Co. was accommodation paper in the
! form Of dralts drawn on them by a con-
fdential clerk in their office, and ac-
cepted by them and sold to various
banks through note brokers. OF this
kind of paper there is probably pot less
than $500, 900 now held in Providence,
where the family of Mr.. Duncan has
been long and favorably known, and the
agent met with little difficulty in dis
posing Of it. One bank in this city holds
$4,000 Of these acceptances, another
$780, 900, and still another $50, 600, besides
smaller amounts in the hands Of hume
rous persons. One banker character
ICES this issuance of accommodation
paper as the sharpest kind Of a sharp
game, the impression of the acceptor
being that it was drawn against mer-
chaudise and secured. But Mr.. Duncan
says the proceedings were entirely
straight, and more or less the practice of
the house for twenty years.
The announcement is made that the
letters of credit for which the father
Of Mr.. Duncan has become respon-
sible amount to only about $780,
600. A correspondent writing from
Paris says: mot a half hour passes
that l do not hear of cases Of distress
arising from this failure. Probably the
majority Of losses are persons to whom
the event will be real hardship, as they
have no reserve fund upon which to rely.
A widow who came to Europe a few
months ago to reside here aud educate
her children deposited all her money
with Duncan, Sherman & Co. aud took
their letters Of credit. She has not ten
dollars in. her possession, and there are
rent and school bills due. Her excite
ment and alarm is SO great that her
friends apprehend insanity. There are
many teachers, students and others in
exactly the same condition, and they
are not only in Paris, but all over the
continent. At least four Americans,
who heard of the failure before the newa
reached the Rothschilds' agency, secured
their money and have retired from
Paris to avoid trouble. One OF the four
was visited by the cashier of the agency
who demanded a return Of the money
which was refused"

Ihe Orlgin or sexea.

Aristophanes, the funny man of classic
Greece, gives the following myth:
Once upon a time a man had three
sexes and a double nature; besides this
he was perfectly round, and had four
hands and four feet, one head with two
faces looking opposite ways, set on a
single neck. When these creatures
pleased, they could walk as we do, but if
they wanted to 60 faster, they would roll
over with all their four legs in the air,
like a tumbler turning somersaults, and
their pride and strength we're such that
they made war upon the gods. Jupiter
resented their insolence, but hardly
liked TO kill them with thunderbolts, as
the gods would then lose their sacrifices.
At last he hit upon a plan. II will cut
them in two" he said, so that they
shall walk on two legs instead Of four.
They will then be only half as insolent,
but twice as numerous, and we shall get
twice as many sacrifices. This was done,
and the two halves are continually going
about looking for one another. If we
mortals, says Aristophanes, with a comic
air Of apprehension, are not obedient to
the gods, there is danger that we shall
be split up again. and shall have to go
about in basso relieve, like those figures
with only half a lose which you may see
sculptured on our columns.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
..son,hsrn GlrI No. a.n

To the Editor Of the Ledger;
!, who am a Southern girl in every
thought and feeling, am heartily ashamed
Of the reply given by "a Southern Girl
to the Northern girls opinion of the
fair lassies of the South. l think Miss
Wolston was rather complimentary than
otherwise, aud just, too, for she aeknowl-
edged readily our peculiar graces and
laughed only at little proyincialisms
that muse even ourselves. l trust our
Southern Girl will forgive me, bat
think it very small revenge to poke fun
at the Yankee girls pedal extremities
and TO her hardness in adopting the
fashions. l can say for the Northern
m that they do not squeeze their
feet into shoes two sizes too small, and
presume they must have something bet
ter to think of than the fashions of the
day. Although the daughters Of New
England have not the combined attrac-
tons of mind and physique found in
the Sunny South, they have that good
ness of Heart and steadfastness Of pur-
pose so characteristic of the Northern
races. SOUTHERN GIRL No. ?.

Rcoaned ConvIct Ahot.

Last night an escaped negro convict
from the penitentiary named Ed Jack
son, with two other negroes, attempted
to commit a burglary in Fort Pickering.
The owner Of the premises was wide
awake and turned loose bis trusty shot
gun, SCATTERING the arm Of the villain
Jackson and tearing away a portion Of
his upper lip. Patrolman Morrison found
Jackson disabled and conveyed him to
the station-house, from whence he was
transferred to the county Jail this fore
noon.
His wounds are dangerous, inlamma-
ton having set in, and a%mputation Of
the arm may be necessary. The other
burglars escaped the shotgun and fed.
Jackson was sent to the penitentiary
from Memphis for 10 years for burglary.
and he escaped with those eighteen 9th
err conyicts which had been working Oh
some railroad neal Nashville, the escape
being made while the guards we're asleeI
| and drunk.

A Paris letter to the Baltimore Gazette
says;
The Figaro has introduced an inno-
walton: the FIRST column on the first page
is a daily memento of the chief sights
and events of the city, that hardly ever
find their way into any journal either by
advertisement or special paragraph:
Thus, such a restaurant has q special
plate (dish) to day; such a shop a famous
picture; the central markets display
such Injuries; il a spectacle be on the
tapis, you are informed the best moment
to attend, 10 observe the fashionable
crowd, aud the proper time to retire.
what meetings are to be held; what mar
riages celebrated; what sumptuous fune-
rails to come oil. 1t is a kind of note
book compiled by men about town :
who have Argus eyes and admission eve
rywhere. The cost Of preparing that
column of really valuable mems is said
to be equal to the fourth of the expense
Of the writing for the entire journal.
Further, in the same journal, the matri-
monial advertisements bristle with pro-
posals from heiresses to find husbands,
aud from husbands without fortunes,
bat the highest political futures, seek
ing wealthy wives; age, religion or lille
gitimaey even, being no disqualihcations'

MiasInsinnl River FIoods,

From a compilation of notes describ'
ing the various important floods in the
Mississippi since l7lS, we find that some
of the most remarkable overaows were
in the summer months. The food Of
1914 occurred in August, and that Of
1858, the most remarkable OF all, oc-
Cured in July. In the latter year it was
estimated that $500 square miles of the
Yazoo bottom and 5000 miles Of the st.
Francis bottom we're inundated. Again
in 1928 there was an August food cover.
ing the Yazoo bottom with three feet Of
water. This food followed a steady
rain Of several weeks duration, and the
soil was drenched before the overflow.
In 1915 the Mississippi rose higher at
Natchez than ia any other year save
1858. The gceatest altitude was on June

food was the alleged fact that at Cairo
the Ohio reached the highest point in it's
history, and that the maximum rise was
on April 9th, seventy-four days before
the Mississippi reached its maximum at
Natchez. No damage was done below
Red river landing, on account of the low

TIE Nashville Banner Of yesterday
has this Senatorial rumor:" quite a
sensation was produced on the streets
yesterday by the rumor that the Hon.
Edward H. East had been appointed to
ill the vacancy occasioned by the death
of ex-President Johnson. There was no
confirmation Of it at the Capitol. As
Governor Porter is nov at Paris it is
net likely that we will hear Of his choice
until he returns to the Capitol. Mr..
East, it will be remembered, was Secre.
tary Of State during Mr.. Johnson's ad
mi~nistration as Military Governor"
