Col. Ingersoll's daughters are brilliant
girls. Not in the sense that society terms
its girls brilliant; for they are not shall
low. and frivolity does not habble when
they speak. They are brainy. They
have read and studied deeply. They
have a fine scientific knowledge. and
they talk thoughtfully on all topics Of
the tine. Still, these two young ladies
have by no means neglected themselves
in the lighter accomplishments. They
are fine musicians, and they possess in a
remarkable degree the gift Of entertain
ment. One Of them, Miss Maud. is the
possessor Of q remarkable memory. She
has stored up in her mind vast amount
of knowledge which she recalls in the
most minute manner and with the great
est apparent ease. Without the slightest
hesitation she can tell, for instance. ID,
date Of tirth or death Of auy important
composer. and can recall any event oi
moment in his career. This quite un.
usual gift she carries into other fields,
and her information is so widespread and
so accurate that but for her singularly
winsome manner ordinary folks would
be quite afraid 10 talk to her.
