The Duke de Moray's death is likely to retard
the drawing up of the address, the wording of which
is nominally confided to M. Oranier de Casssgnac.
But he is a mere official scribe, and was in the habit
of writing what the Duke de Morny told him.
There is a rumour that the Duke de Persigny is
going on • mimics to Dome.
" Several journals," says the Indfpe•dssce Bette,
" have erroneously stated that the Duke de Moray
had indicated his hit testamentary wishes to IL
Roubet. The late president of the Legislative
Body left no will ; he simply indicated to the
Dochees de Morny before his death one of his friends
who could guide her in the settlement of the
numerous affairs in which he was engaged, and in
the nonagement of the fortune which be leaves to
his widow and children." It should be remembered
that the French code does not allow a person having
so many as four children to make a will : the law
in that case makes a will for him.
The Inipwar has commissioned M. Gerame to

which will be engraved for the second volume of
"Julius Oscar," as • companion to the splendid
work of art, by M. Ingres, which adorns the first.
