The Times' Paris Correspondent says Baron de Waldeck, a painter,

living in Paris, is 108 years old. There is a case which ought to be susceptible of thorough verification, and in one way a very important one. The best argument the doubters have is, that of all the Kings. Popes, nobles, and very eminent men whose age is of necessity exactly known, no one can be conclusively proved to have passed a hundred. It is odd that the lot of unusual longevity should always fall to the obscure.
