BEHIND TIE SCENES.
A Isudget ofGossip by Mrs. LincoIn's
Coiored nIilliner-Domestio LiTe at
the white Housc-Piquant Revc-
lationstn Abundance.

A book entitled "Bohind the
Scenes /" has been published by
George w. Carleton & Co. The
author is Mrs Elizabeth Keckley
an American citizen Of Af.
rican descent, for thirty years
q slave, subsequently mod.
iste for Mrs. Jefferson Davis, and
for four years an inmate Of the
White House, and Mrs. Lincoln's
"next friend" The chapters Of
this book are entitled as follows
"Girlhood and its Sorrows" "In
the Family Of Jefferson Davis, as
Mrs. DIS confidential servant =
my Introduction to Mrs Lincoln, y
"Behind the "Scenes, ""The Assas
sination of Mr.. Lincoln" "Secret
History Of Mrs. Lincoln's Wardrobe
in New York." &c.
Mrs Keckley has told her story
plainly and clearly, and with suffi.
cient piquancy. Mrs. Lincoln
speaks her mind freely in the book
and occasionally criticizes very
sharply some persons in whom she
has evidently lost confidence. Up.
on reading the book with consid
cradle care, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser, we are
sure that the structures Of this pa.
per upon the sale Of Mrs. Lincoln's
wardrobe were amply deserved
and that the half has not been tod
in regard to this woman. She
discloses her character in this book
most freely.
STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS ONE OF MRS
LINcoLN's EARLY LOVERS. !.
Mrs. Keckley rOlates that Mrs
Lincoln from her earliest childhood
was convinced that she would be
the wife OF a President. When a
young lady, she was, says the book
courtcd by Mr.. Lincoln and Mr..
Douglas. The latter offered him
self 10 her and was discarded. Ht
pressed his suit more boldly:
"Mary; you do not know what
you are refusing! You have al
ways had an ambition to become
the wife Of o President of the Uni
ted States. Pardon the egotism
but l fear that in refusing my
hand tonight you have thrown
away your best chance to cverrult
in the White House."
"L do not understand you, Mr.
Douglas"
"Then I will speak moro plainly
You know. Mary, that / am ambi
tious like yourself, and something
seems to whisper in my ear, 'Yol
will be President some day. Do
pend upon it, / shall make a stub.
born fight to win the proud posi-
ton"
"You have my best wishes, Mr.
Douglas, still / cannot consent t
be your wife. Ishall become Mrs
President, or / am a victim o
false prophets, but twill not be al
Mrs. pouglas."
| have this little chapter in
romantic history from the lips o
Mrs. Lincoln herself.
At one Of the receptions at th,
White House, shortly after th'
fret inauguration, Mrs. Lincolr
