ROBERT INGERSOLL.
Alls great Freethuuttht lecturer is thus described in an English print:—" As an . orator Ingersoll stands without a peer on the oontineiu of America. Ho has the power of holding his audience spell-bound, #■ one moment melting litem to tears in sympathy with his expressions, Mid in another moment eliciting from them f\ toshoutaof laughter. His personal appear- ***. ance is greatly In his favor. A giant physically and montally, tall arid robust, with a massive -head 'above his square broad shoulders, and in his clean-shaven face the physiognomist can see depicted the urominent trails of his character. Good-natured fearless, frank, open hearted, and he is the jolliest, sunniest specimen of lumanity that is anywhere to bo found. ' His private character, and life are unimpeachable. A faithful husband an intelligent and loving father, a generous opponent, and a good citizen of the Groat Republic. He practices at home what ho preaches abroad, and commands tho respect n( those who differ from him. His charily is a household word in Washington."
