A Yankee Speculator in Paris.

Great Norton In tho Police and
Bankruptcy Courts.
Paris, June 0.
Tito history of nn American banker in
Paris I translate from the Gazette des Tri
bufiaux, adding not one word (though there
be many to add) lest comment be attribu
table to malevolence; Given a capital of
if 1,000 ; spend $38,643 80 for expenses of
first establishment; pocket, $30,008 00 for
personal expenses. Mercadet (the name of
a rt;:sh speculator iu one of De Balzac's
plays) is not the only fellow capable <>.
solving tills problem.
TUB AMERICAN NORTON
lias reached the solution. True, he adopt
ed Mercadet's method, for the result is a de
ficit of' $104,200 40. At least, this is all
that it has been possible to ascertain, for
his books were most, incomplete, and, to use
the expert’s expression, “ impenetrable.”
Our Yankee*, ,:i course of time, took into
copartnership Cork, an Jinglish artist
painter. It seffms the American was a
most splendid fellow. Appointed a Com
missioner of New York State to the Uni
versal Exhibition of 1867, it is said no
body but those persons who saw can form
any idea of the magnificence of his recep
tions in his mansion in the Avenue des
Champs Elysees, of his dinners, of the
splendor of his silver, porcelain and glass.
Cook, too, lived sumptuously, and, like his
partner, kept carriage and horses. Why
did Norton take a partner? These are the
reasons: Towards tlie end of 18GG, Norton
established a commission firm, Hue Auber,
Paris, unde r the style of Norton & Co.—
There was no company. His only capital
■was SI,OOO. His capital would not long
have sustained Ills transactions had not
American travelers supplied his cash office,
and so enabled him to live. Norton paid
these American travelers from day to day
according to their requirements, and in re
turn for their money gave them traveling
letters of credit. As lie usually stipulated
for a delay of three months to !*a.y the bills
drawn on his letters of credit and obtained
the use of the money meantime by charging
an unusually low rate of commission, he
put in his pocket live' profits made by this
capital. This speculation, however, was
not of a character to make him rapidly a
millionaire, so he entered into partnership
■with Cook, an English artist painter, allied
by his wife to a wealthy family. Cook
brought the partnership $50,000, of which
$40,000 were paid dp at once. When Cook
entered the partnership Norton’s liabilities
exceeded his assets some SBO,OOO or SIOO,-
000, a detail he neglected to lay before his
partner. On tlie oilier baud the English
artist had the tastes of his profession, and
was deeply in debt by a speculation made
iu telegraphic apparatus, an invention
whose patent lie had bought bnt not
paid for, so that by the help of
the extravagant life led by each part
ner less than a year after the partnership
was formed, the firm was put, into liquida
tion. It was soon afterwards declared
bankrupt. It has been shown by evidence
collected that our American, when bank
ruptcy existed iu fact, sent his valuable
furniture, silver plate, porcelain and giass.
Moreover, the American Senate appropri
ated to him to defray his expenses as com
missioner to the Universal Exhibition the
sum of #IO,OOO. This amount of money
has escaped the clutches of the creditors.
Norton says he has been defrauded of it
through the manmnvers of a faithful cor
respondent. Imprisoued for two mouths at
a time when the hopes of war did not
allow the realization of the hopes given to
the trustee of the bankruptcy to cover the
deficit, it liecame Hecessary to liberate
Norton temporarily when the imminence
of the siege gave reason to fear that he
might undergo too long an imprisonment
without being brought to trial. He took
adyantage of bis temporary liberty to re
gain temporarily his farnitnre, his silver
plate,'his porcelain, and his glasses. He
continues to be temporarily absent. As
our American bos been ordered for trial
before the Coart of Assizes for fraudulent
bankruptcy, it is not impossible that Nor
ton’s temporary absence from France may
be indefinitely prolonged. As for Cook, he
is charged with mere bankruptcy and like
wise glitters by his absence. Despite their
absence, the American has been sentenced
by the Police Court to three years, impris
onment, and tlie Englishman to two
months. Norton will be tried, all absent
though he be, by the Assizes Court, In a
few days, for fraudulent bankruptcy.
Serious Charges.— The New Haveu
Journal of Friday says: " The committee
appointed by the last General Assembly to
examine the assets of the Hartford Life In
surance Companies, as compared with the
returns made to the Comptroller as the
basis of taxation, has made Its report, and
it makes an exhibit that some of these
companies have concealed, year after year,
the full amount of their assets, and have
escaped taxation on nearly ten million dol
lars —to be exact, #9,836,000.”

Married for Money.
Sad Story of a Young Boston Lady.
A funeral procession passed by yesterday.
A young man told me a story that I think
lias a peculiar sadness about it. At Sara
toga last season-at one of tho largest balls
held at the Grand Union Hotel was a
young lady with the most charming and
fascinating manners and graces. Her toil
ette was equally as pleasing.* She was the
belle of the ball—an honor accorded her
withont dissent. Fler attendant during
the evening was a young man dressed al
most gaudily and bearing himself with all
the distastefnl self-conceit of a brainless
millionaire. He was the son of a Boston
leather dealer. He met the lady at Sara
toga for the first time last season, and she,
by direction of her parents, who were also
wealthy, anil who insisted npon the ar
rangement, became his ailianccd. Previous
to this she had met a yonog gentleman,
also of Boston, of the utmost respectability,
of thorough honor and integrity, but with
out fortune. To him she had been some
thing more than a friend, in fact, almost a
betrothed. He was young, had risen by
his own stern efforts, and was, it is said,
possessed of sterling and promising abili
ties, which in time must have won him
wealth and perhaps distinction. On the
return of the lady from Saratoga last
season, her engagement prevented her from
further Intercourse wi£h her first suitor,
and he was dismissed. His grief was piti
ful.
lie strove not to reverse it by word or
action, but the very efforte he so laborious
ly made exposed the porgnancy of his
wounds. The lady lived with her husband
in the suburbs of the city, at a large and
costly residence, for one month after their
marriage. By that time the abuse of the
husband and his gross sensuality and in
decency compelled an immediate separa
tion. He was incontinently shipped to
Europe, where he still remains, and the
young wife was left to gradually decline in
health until death ensued ; but not before,
she had reproached her parents for driving
her to the alliance which wrought such
early ruin and blasted such bright hopes
and expectations. As the funeral proces
sion passed up a public street, the first ad
mirer of the body, while watching with
blanched cheeks aud moist eyes the sad
cortege, fell to the gronnd while suffering
art attack of hemorrhage of the lungs. He
was carried into a physican’s office near,
where he died before the body of the one
lie had ty> tenderly and truly loved was
laid in its last resting place—a victim to
a true and holy passion. True it is that
There’s a bliss beyond all that the minstrel
has told,
VVkcu two that are linked in one heavenly
tie,
With heart never changing, and brow never
cold,
Love on through all life, and love on till
they die.
One hour of a passion so sacred is worth
Whole ages of heartless and wandeiing
bliss;
And oh. il there be an Elyainm-ou earth,
It is this, it is ibis. *
One can hardly pity the remorse of the
young lady’s parents, and yet humau sym
pathy will not refuse an “ amen ” to their
tearful cry of anguish.
SCI UNTJJf'IC MOTJCS.
DatciTK.—M. Bouchardat announced,
at JLrecent meet.inr- of the Olyrob-nl Krvim ir.
of Paris, that he had succeeded m reprodu
cing dulcite, artificially, by treating invert
ed milk-sugar with nascent hydrogen.
Tills dulcite is identical with that which is
obtained from the manna of Madagascar.
Ei.bctric Currents Ortainrd by Tor
sion.—M. Volpicelll has a memoir, in the
Paris Com,pies ltendvs, on electric currents'
obtained by the bending of metals, from
which it appears that all metals, on being
bent or twisted, develop an electric current,
and that copper exhibits the phenomenon
in the highest degree.
Tiik Odors of Plants. —Mr. .T. Britten
in a communication t.o 7 he Gardener's
Chronicle on the odor of plants, gives the
following conclusions regarding the geo
graphical distribution of sweet-scented
plants: A large proportion of pale and
white blossoms are fragrant, and it is ascer
tained that these predominate in northern
regions. We may therefore conclude that
the relative nnmber of odorous flowers is
greater toward the poles than toward the
equator. It, would seem that the too pow
erful action of light and heat is opposed to
the emanation of the odors of flowers, and
we see many specimens which are scarcely
fragrant during the day become so in the
evening or during the night. But. If the
odors emitted by the blossoms are more
frequent in the North, the reverse is the
case with the essences inclosed in the
glands. Plants with fragrant leaves, aro
matic fruits, and wood penetrated with es
sential oil, are scarcely found except in
warm or tropical climates.
(’iirr for Small-pox.— A Berlin jour
nal announces that Dr. Zueler, Senior
Physician at the Charity Hospital of that
city, has there adnainistefed xylol in cases
of small p?>x with the mhst complete suc
cess. It, is given tn doses of from three to
five drops for children, and ten to fifteen
drops for adults, every hour to every three
hours. It is harmless, since as much as a
tcaspoonfnl has been taken atone time.—
The most convenient form of taking it is in
capsules, and a pharmaceutist of Berlin has
already prepared capsules for the market.
The theory of its action is that it is taken
by the blood, and thus acts as a disinfect
ant.. It is hoped that no time will be lost
in testing this new remedy in America.—
Absolute parity of xylol is said to'lie im
portant., as analogous compounds do not
possess the same power. It may be inter
esting to state here that xylol, or xyleue, Is
simply a hydro carbon, containing, accord
ing to the new notation, eight atoms of
carbon, and ten atoms of hydrogen. It be
longs to the benzol series. Benzol, or the
hydride of phenvl, contains six atoms of
carbon! and six of hydrogen. The hydrate
of phenyl, called phenol, is identical with
carbolic acid, the most powerful disinfect
ant known-. It consists of six atoms of car
bon, seven of hydrogen, and one atom of
I oxygen. Only five bodies are so far recog
nized as belonging to the benzol group.—
They contain carbon and hydrogen atoms
as indicated by the following: Benzol, 6
C., 0 II.: culuol, 7C, 8 H.; xylol, 8 0., 10
H.; cumol, 9 0., 13 1L; cymol, 10 C., 14 H.
Xylol, or xylene, is nearly colorless, and
has a faint odor, but not resembling that
of benzol. It boils at 139 degrees, audits
specific gravity is 866.
There was an affecting scene in the
United States Court in Montgomery, Ala.,
the other day, when the defendants in the
case of the Uuited States vs. Young et al .,
for alleged Kakluxing, were called up for
sentence. The verdict had been rendered
hardly fifteen minutes when the Court in
quired if the defendants had anything to say
why sentence should not be awarded
against them. The old man Young, In a
calm and manly manner, free frdta braga
doclo, protested his innocence of the charge,
but a%he referred to his wife and four
daughters dependent on him, now sixty
three years of age, his voice was broken,
and there was not in the court room a
manly heart but what was wrung with
sorrow as the picture arose before them of
thl3 aged man in a Tar-off’penitentifiiry, and
his now widowed wife and helpless daugh
ters shelterless and friendless, driven from
their little home, which the #5,000 fine will
cause to be sold, as well as the little scanty
pittance which was all this old man was
enabled after a life of tell to save from the
wreck of the war.”

Sunstroke—lts Symptoms and What
to Do.
In I/ippincoU'g Monthly, for July, a dis
tinguished physician, Dr. H. C. Wood, has
a very elaborate article on the symptoms
and treatment of sunstroke, and as this is
the season when attacks of this kind may
be expected, we make the following very
useful extracts from the article for the
benefits* ofthe public:
SYMPTOMS OF SUNSTROKE.
The symptoms of unstroke are at once
uniform and diverse—uniform in their
geueral outline, and diverse in their espe-*
cial details. In the ordinary form—that
which may be spoken of as the cerebro
spinal variety—after more or less distinct
warning iu the shape of such premonitory
symptoms as headache, disordered vision
intense weariness,etc., the subject becomes
unconscious, sometimes suddenly some
times more gradually. The laborer will
fall senseless in the street; in the hospital
the comrades of a sick man will have their
attention attracted by his heavy breathing,
onls to find that natural sleep has passed
by insensible degrees into fatal coma or
stupor. With this insensibility there is
always associated intense heat of the skiu.
To t he hand the surface feels intensely hot;
nor is the sensation a deceptive one—the
heat of the body exceeds that attained in
almost any other affection. A thermometer
placed in the armpit, instead of indicating
98 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature of
health rises generally to 109 degrees, in
some cases even to 113 degrees. From the
peculiar pungency of this heat the techni
cal term color mordax or bitiDg) heat, has
been applied to it.
The surface may or may not be pale;
very often il is dusky, with a livid bluish
purple hue. The eyes are sometimes wild
and restless, sometimes fixed and glaring,
sometimes dull with the leaden hue of ap
proaching death. The pupils at first are
generally contracted, in the latter stages
they are often widely dilated. With these
symptoms of intense fever are others be
tokening nervous disturbance. In some
cases these are of the nature of paralysis,
the patient lying apparently in the deepest
sleep, not a muscle moving, not a limb
raised, not an eyelid quivering. In other
cases this peaceful though deadly calm is
replaced by a wild tempest.—raging delir
ium, wild screams, as though of iDtensest
agony or uncontrollable passion, furious
convulsions, following one another like the
r'lplif discharges of a galvanic battery,
throwing the body in all directions, twist
ing it into every conceivable sham*, the
countenance mocking the derisive laughter
of tlie maniac, or knotted into au expres
sion of agony. In another and perhaps
more common class of cases tlie nncon
sc-ous patient is simply restless, muttering
incoherent words, tossing about, on tbe
bed, showing, perhaps, also signs of local
paralysis. There appears to be a curious!
connection between this variety of symp
toms and the difference of races. The An
glo Saxon rarely becomes wildly delirious,;
whilst this is the most common symptom
amongst the Latin nations. Frenchmen
thus attacked often become melancholic,
and develop an irresistible tendency to sui
cide, so that soldiers oh the march will
suddenly shoot, themselves.
Whatever be the form of the attack, gen
nerallv as the fotnutes pass the symptoms
are intensified ; the quick pulse or the first
onset becomes more and more feeble, the j
labored breathing noisy and stertorions,
the surface darker and darker as respira
tion fails; and death at last, is brought
about by asphyxia, or sometimes by the
Tlie one great symptom, the centre of tlie j
group in all forms of the disease, is th*
high temperature. If the skin be cool the
case is not sun-stroke. After death the
high temperature continues, and is said
sometimes to even rise higher. Decompo
sition follows with exceeding rapidity.
On post-mortem examination the only ap
pearance of striking importance ' are—a
condition of blood similar to that seen in
low fevers, a rigid, contracted state of the
heart, in which it feels almost like wood,
and a great tendency toward the rapid but
transient development, of that peculiar
stiffening which at, some time after death
takes possession of the muscular tissues.
Now that the true nature of the disease
is kuowu, the method of treatment becomes
more obvious, ami we learn not, merely
what to do, but also what not to do. As
heat is the cause of the symptoms,common
sense, points to the abstraction of the heat
in some way as the mode of cure. And
here, again, vivisection comes into play. I
have taken an animal, comatose, paralyzed
by heat, apparently dying, and plunged it
into a bucket of cold water. The temper
ature of the sufferer at once rapidly’fell
until it reached the normal point, and just
in proportion that, of the water in the
bucket rose. As the animal cooled its re
spirations became more regular, the un
steady whirr of the heart was stilled, by
and by the eyelids were lifted, and ont from
the glassy eye came the beams of new life.
If the period of unconsciousness had been
short, the animal was in a few hours appa
rently well as ever; if long, the animal
would recover sufficiently to recognize its
surroundings and to struggle for release;
bnt when allowed to escape, the paralyzed
limbs and the slow, imperfect progression
indicated the profound injury the nervous
system had received, in a few hours the an
imal would be dead.
The lessons of these experiments are too
plain tube overlooked. Whatever Is to be
done in this disease must be done quickly.
Clinical as well as experimental observa
tion enforces this doctrine. There should
in such cases be no waiting for the doctor.
.The remedy Is so simple, the death so iml
nent,, that the good Samaritan passing by
should save his brother. The good Samar
tan must, however, have a cool head to be
useful. Not every man that falls uncon
scious on a hot day has sunstroke. There
is fortunately one criterion so easy of ap
plication that any one can use it. Goat
once to the fallen man, open his shirt
bosom, and lay the hand upon the chest;
if the skin be cool, you may rest assured
that, whatever may be the trouble, it is not
sunstroke. If, on the contrary, the skin be
burning hot, the case is certainly sun
stroke, and no time should be lost. The
patient must be carried to the nearest
pump or hydrant, stripped to his waist, and
bucketful after bucketful of cold water
be dashed over him until consciousness be
gins to return or the Intense heat of the
surface decidedly abates.
The Lee Monument. —The Richmond
Enquirer r in a description of the memorial
monument to General Robert E. Lee, the
model for which has last been completed
by the sculptor Valentine, of that city,
says:
The Impression made upou the tnind is
one of pleasant surprise at beholding, as it
were, the recliulng warrior, not dead, but
sleeping—peacefully dreaming, with a smile
upon his lips—and so perfect Is the allu
sion that one imagines he can see the figure
move and breathe. It is as he was in life.
There is nothing of the repulsive or awful
presence of death about the face, the form,
or the position. The triumph of the artist
is complete.
The grand jury of New York city has
taken steps t,o suppress the growing ten
dency of deformed street beggars to ex
hibit themselves for alms. They also call
attention to the -great increase of crime
caused by the violation of the excise law,
In keeping open places for the sale of wine
and liquors on Sunday.
Campaign cockades have already ap
peared in New York city, and the fancy
stores on Broadway and Sixth Avenue
realize that Greeley rosetts are quite a
saleable article. Enthusiastic ladies find
these pretty ornaments of white satin rib
bon especially becoming, and before the
autumn thousands will have been sold.
