The Man of Glass.

4 very extraordinary existence
wa, brought to 4 close few days
since by the death Of a man who
was known rs he "man of glass.
The records Of the asylum at Bic.-
TIE. where the man died, show .
that as long ago as 1877, when nc
was Is years old, a certain Jubis-
Ser was brought to the hospital
suffering from mental alienation OF
4 severe kind. His malady was
caused by a wourd inflicted by a
pane Of glass, which fell on his
head: and before the cut could be
healed. the brain became affected
by a permanent disease. The sui-
fered lapsed into idioey' and then
into madness OF more violent
kind and he was shortly alter
ward shut up in the asylum, where
he has remained ever since. AZ

STORY OF TON BENTON.


Money In His Crav.t-Camsroa's Story
About His Vanity.
From the Philadelphia Press.
How about your educational institu-
tions?" enc uired Of my companion. when
he had finished about tho ''niggers.''
"Oh! yes; thew get along mighty well,
too There is Chapel Hill, . biRschool afo'
the war, is com ming up first rate again.
Lots Of big mea educated there. Tom
Benton used to go, to school there, you
2 know. Mighty funny stories they tell
about the old fellow, too. They do say
that ono time when q student that there
one Of the boys lost some money, that
there was great commotion and all the
scholars were brought into line to be
searched, and that the missing cash WAS
found on Tom Benton's neck rolled in his
cravat. I heard Zes Vance Say that to
mention Chapel Hill to Tom Benton was
ever revocation enough for row"
This story about Mr.. Benton hung to
him all his life. Even when he grew rich
and powerful it was constantly coming up
to mock him. His ovevbearing manners
and naughty disposition no doubt had
much to do with keeping it alive.
Twelve years ago this very summer, sit
ting on the great green at the White Sui
described to me, a. only he could do it,, q
memorable scene in the United States SEN
ate in 1886, when Mr.. Leigh of Virginia
unintentienally, but forcibly recalled this
episode in MIR. Bentop's early life:
The proposition was pending to expuuge
from the journal Of tn, senate the resolu-
tons concerning General Jackson's remov-
nj of public rooney from the United States
bank, and Mr.. Benton was in his usual
style, leading in behalf Of expunction. and
had been instrumental in getting the Vir-
ginia legislature to instruct MIR. Leigh to
to vote for the resolution. MIR. Leigh re-
fused to obey, and in speech Of great
power giving his reasons, and eye fixed up
ol, Benton, he said: Mr.. President, in
that catechism which learned at my
mothers knee was taught from picking
and stealing and my tongue from evil
speaking!' Governor Wise said that, of all
the scenes he ever saw in the. senate, this
was the most dramatic, and recalled to all
the cravat of Chapel Hill.
This recalls the scene between General
Simon Cameron and Tom Benton, once re.
lated to me by the veteran Pennsylvania.
1t was during Mr.. Cameron's first year in
the senate, 1876 think. Benton was ap-
parently wrapped in his own greatness and
hardly recognized any of the younger sena-
tors. Going up the hill to tho Capitol one
day Mr.. Cameron overlook the Missouri
statesman, and never before having spoken
to him, saluted him:
Good morning, senator"
Good morning, sir, replied Mr.. Ben
ton.
1T is a pleasant day, senator"
"Yes. sir
Il hope" said General Cameron, that
shall have the pleasuse. of hearing You
speak on the Oregon boundary question. I
have heard many others, but woEld like to
hear your opinion of that measure"
Yes, sir" replied Mr.. Benton; you will
hear me speak upon the Oregon boundary
question, and when you do hear me upon
that proposition, sir, you. will see that l
will annihilate those who have spoken on
either side like an elephant treading upon q
bed Of pissmires."
