Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll, of New York,
has accepted the invitation of the State of
New York to deliver an GRAFTON upon the
life and work of Roscoe Conkling at the
capitol in Albany. The invitation was

be delivered on May 9.

be thought of their logic.
Ingersoll is by profession a lawyer. He
built up large and lucrative practice in
Illinois, made himself national reputation
as a lawyer and orator, and then settled in
New York, where his counsel and services in
the court room are much sought by clients

HUSBAND OF BARoNNE DANCE
Curious Career of a Famous Woman
and Her Unfortunate Spouse

Curious Career of a Famous Woman
and Her Unfortunate Spouse.
From the London Daily Telegraph.
The name of the late notorious Baronne
DANCE, nee Angelo Bardin, of the demi
monde, has just been brought before the
tribunals of Paris in connection with the will
which she made in favor of her husband.
The ad ventures of that person himself are
peculiar. He is young man, and a real
count, named Bison d'Yvandre, who, hav-
ing played the part of the prodigal son to
perfection, endeavored to cover his losses
by embarking in trade and becoming a
commercial traveller and agent These
new pursuits did not satisfy him, as returns
were exceedingly small, SO he put himself
in communication with matrimonial
agency and looked out for a wife.
He was not particular-a denlOiSelLe, or
even uieilIe file with doubtful antece-
dents, but possessing abundance of lucre,
would satisfy him, so he was presented to
the Baroness DANCE, who at that time, re-
gardless of the ridicule and contempt Of
Parisians, drove her high-stepping steeds
through the Bots every morning, and
ratified her money bags defiantly in the
faces of hostile critics, cynics and moral
lists. The baroness made minute inquiries
about her sutton, and, having satisfied her.
self that his "quarterings" were all correct,
and that he was a genuine nobleman, she
went Off with him to London, where the
pair were duly married. Then they re-
turned to Paris. the Baroness promising to
pay all her husbands trade liabilities and
private debts, provided that their marriage
was made valid by the consent of his
friends. Meantime she gave him a hand
some allowance, and resumed her former
pursuits.
When she died few months ago she left
her husband all her furniture and an
annuity of 10000 francs per annum. I'm
fortunately, however, for him. his marriage
had not been validated, owing to the oppo-
sition of his friends, and his creditors rose
against him. The will was also contested
by his wifes relatives. The Count has
been charged with fraudulent bankruptcy,
and, in reply to the president of the court,
he made long speech in defense of his
peculiar marriage. He said that he was
married by registrar at South Kensing-
ton, and that he regarded his conduct as
perfectly blameless, inasmuch as he was
bound to liquidate his financial affairs in
the best way that he could devise The
bankrupt was then condemned to one
months imprisonment.
