MIS-. stenhen A. douglas.

Washington Cor. st. Louis Democrat.
On Sunday [ was walking in the
neighborhood of Gen. Grants house,
when | saw NJ 8. Major Williams, late
Mrs. Stephen A. Douglas, exchange
greetings with Gen. Grant, accom-
panied by her husband. The house
that Mr.. Douglas, presented to his
wife before their marriage stood upon
a high hill, close by Gen. Grants sub
sequent and present residence, and In
the grading of the streets thereabout,
this house with its extensive walled
garden and lawn was left suspended
in the air, so that it is now one of the
most imposing dwellings in the city,
and is named, appropriately, Douglas
Place. Major Williams, since his
marriage to tho widow Douglas, has
nearly doubled the size of thus house,
raised a French root upon it, ard
capped its flight of stone stairs with
pair of colossal carved lions. The
terraces around the house are plant
ed with shrubs and box bush, and
innumerable trees contribute to
give the place the air of a ven
cradle patrimony. Within the
mansion two fine children count the
march Vi lAEuC4 VI 1LAOIh ANAA
OF NJ. Douglas, whose little contri-
button shares his sleep. The exquis-
lite peaeefuluess and privacy of Mrs.
Williams life show the difference be-
tween what are called les marriages de
socie.e. and what we name, tamlliarly,
love matches. In the time Of her
first husband no party was complete
without her. Her picture was pur-
chasable at every print-shop, and We
beheld her in Washington every day.
Now, welded to a private gentleman
and soldier. of years not uncongenial
to. her own, she is the ornament of
beautiful home, aud her children are
her kingdom. She is still pious at
church. and fond of riding out, but
her journeys are commonly made out
= of town and not within it. | felt In
her proximity to the home of Mrs.
Grant how mutable and yet how mer-
cfful are the dispensations of Provi-
depce. Eight years ago Mrs. Doug
las might have been the mistress Of
the White House. Now she is good
mans happy wife.
