A MAD KING.

Though the King of Bavaria has had no return of the fits of violent maniacal passion which left him prostrated a few weeks since, his mental state is even worse than it was at the time of his brother's death. He passes day after day silting at a window of the chateau at Furstenried, where he is kept, sunk in the deepest dejection. Ho rarely speaks, but smokes cigarettes well-nigh constantly, while he also persistently holds in ono hand his pockethandkerchief, which he nervously shakes the wholo time. It is only by dint of using actual force that he can be induced to leave his apartments and take a litUo walking exercise. At times he falls on his knees when requested to leave the chateau and exclaims, beseechingly, " I am in Paradise here ; I do not want to go out." Ho is attended by a faithful old body-ser-vant, but four trained attendants are always at hand in caae of an outburat of frenzy. The King's household is completed by an old woman, specially charged with making his bed and keeping his sleeping apartments in order. He knows that his brother is dead, and also to some oxtent appreciates the fact that he is king.
