Mr. and Mrs. Douglas.

a Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes:
/ called on Senator Douglas last eve
ming for short time, and found him busy
in his study ranking copies of his speech
all over the Union. Diligently engaged in
directing the speeches as they were franked
was Mrs. Douglas, radiant and beautiful
in her elegant evening attire. She wrote
rapidly bold, firm hand, which evinccd
energy and decision of character, while she
took part in the conversation at the same
time. She is truly very beautiful lady
in form and figure, with countenance ex-
pressive not only of intellect and energy,
but affection and pure womanly sympathies.
She has evidently the mind to investigate
and comprehend questions of politics, for
some of her remarks exhibited considerable
feeling concerning the position of Kansas
affairs. n gentleman had just brought in
some three hundred names of citizens of
Cincinnati, and she proceeded at once to
direct each copy of her husbands speech,
while Mr.. Douglas added his frank. Those
who receive the speeches therefore have a
specimen of the chirography Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Douglas.
