It ie a genuine mania. There were a few
oases of it before, but the malady never ble.
eame alarming till about six yeare ago,
when it hegan to attract public) attention
in England: Like gout and hay fever, it is
inost likely to attack persons of large
=mane, high weld poaition and blue blood.
Poor people • are, never victims of it. A
singular peotiliarity about it idthat it is
much more likely to attack men than
women. Like hydrophobia, leprosy and
eonsomption,, it is prenenAged nictirahle.
That' it is contagious io• admitted by all
wile have given attentiOn to the matter.
Some •wealthy Anteriettne; who were in
London fent or five 'years ago contracted
the ' disease and brought it to this
country. It is new quite prevalent in New
York; and there are it few einses in Boston
and a sinallet number in Chicago, St. Louis
and ether Western. chicle. It has for
several years been the (intim of hay fetter
sufferers to hold an annual reunion. The
victims et the orohld.mania are following
their example. About fifty of them met in
New Yorknot long since•and had it Very
enjoyable time. *They brought with them
about eight hundred varieties of the plant
. over which they have gone daft. A large
proportion of the..nobility and gentry ' of
England are victims of the orchid craze.
All the members of theltothsehild
whether- living on the Continent or in
teat Britain, are orchid fanciers. Baron
Schroder, 111r.'Chandierlain and Sir John
Lubbock have very large collections. Mr.
