M. Rouzaud is a French gentle man about thirty-six years of age, and is l stock broker now residing in Paris. Miss Nilsson first met M Rouzaud in Paris, when she went to that city some seven {5s nSsn ,nss to f e san hS bant s tSa as they have been devotedly attached to each other. During Miss Nilsson's tour in America, M. Rouzaud made a brief visit to this country at which time Miss Nils son gave him the promise of her hand and heart. The delighted Frenchman return ed to his native land overjoyed. This union IS founded on love alone. M. Rou- gard is by no means wealthy man, his property having been impaired by the late war. Miss Nilsson has had many offers of marriage from titled noblemen and from most wealthy gentlemen, both in this country and in Europe but to all she has turned deaf ear. Other private letters. received in New York by friends of Miss Nilsson, state that this wedding will be one of the grandest and most brilliant that has taken place on the continent for many years. The bridal pair intend to sojourn dn Switzerland during their honeymoon, and Miss Nilsson will reappear on the operatic stage in Russia in September next. Notwithstanding her legions of European admirers Miss Nilsson seems most anxious of meeting those to whom she became devotedly attached while in this country. She has already forwarded earnest invitations for them to be present at the marriage.
