The Man of Glass.

A very extraordinary existence was
brought to close few days ago by the
death OF a man who was known as the
" man of glass" The records of the
asylum at Bicetre, where the man died,
show that as long ago as in 1897, when
he was eighteen years old, certain
Jubissier was brought to the hospital
suffering from mental alienation of q
severe kind. His malady had been
caused by a wound inflicted by
a pane of glass, which fell on his head;
and before the cut could be healed,
the brain became affected by q
permanent disease. The sufferer lapsed
into idiocy, and then into madness of a
more violent kind; and he was shortly
atterward shut up in the asylum, where
he has remained, ever since. After the
first transports of delirium had passed
off the man became more calm, but he
never got rid of the idea that he was
made of glass, and that the least shock
or blow would cause him to break in
pieces. He remained, therefore, per-
fectly quiet and silent, being afraid even
to speak, for fear of precipitating the
catastrophe which he fancied was ever
impending. For eighty-three years he
has led this singular existence, only
once opening his lips in speech, when
he asked for little tobacco At
one other period his intellectual and
physical faculties appeared to be
aroused, and that was when, during the
siege of Paris, he could hear the shells
bursting in the air at no great distance
from his place Of retreat, At this time
he was seen to grow nervous and less
lethargic, and to walk about restlesly
humming some words which had no in
telllglble sequence or meaning. He sur
yived, however, and, relapsing into his
usual condition, has so lived until the
age Of 1O3, testifying, in a somewhat
striking way, to the effects of totally
placid and inactive tranquility both of
body and mind in prolonging life. No
little credit is, however, due to the au-
thorities of Bicetre for having thus pre-
served for eighty-three years an exist
ence which from the first was
utterly useless and uninteresting.

Charlie Ross.

The father of Charlie Ross says that
the last spark of hope has gone out, and
he mourns the lost one as dead. He
says q have always believed that my
Charlie, although only four years and
two months old at the time he was taken,
would remember his brother Walter,
who was taken away with him, and had
also thought that he would even have
a distinct recollection Of the feeling OF
loneliness that he must have experienced
when he found he was in the hands OF
strangers and separated from his pa
rents" On another recent occasion,
Mr.. Ross said: "The only tidings have
ever received of Charlie since he was
stolen, was the demand for a ransom of
$4,000. If / had paid that, I would
have had him long before this. AS it
is, have spent 100000, and have not
got him."

Existing Orders OF chivaIry.

The orders Of chivalry at present i'll ex-
istence number no fewer than 155, ex-
elusive of service medals and war dec
orations, such as the Victoria and Iron
crosses. Of all European soyereigns,
the kings of Spain and Prussia are the
most copiously provided with the
means Of distinguishing those whom
they may delight to honor for the for
mer can dispose of thirteen and the
latter twelve orders of knighthood.
France possesses only one such order
the German empire none. The most
ancient existing order is that of St.
Andrew, or the Thistle, founded in the
year 767, and the most modern is the
Takovo of Servia, the foundatory
statues of which bear date the fifteenth
of February, 1878. Among the 155 or
ders are ten exclusively bestowed upon
members of the fair sex. Six orders of
chivalry derive their names from ami
mails, only one of which, the dragon, is
heraldic and imaginary beast. The
remainder, for the most part, commem-
crate the fame Of patron saints or pop
ular princes, only few-conspicuous
among which are the British Garter, the
Austrian Fleece, the Saxon Coronal Of
Rue, the Swedish Sword, and one or
two others-owe their titles to more or
less curious historical incidents.
