Death of Mrs. Smith, Wife of James
 B. Smith.
 Mrs. Emile M. Plumb, wife of James B. Smith, the wholesale flour merchant on State street, died yesterday at her home. 34S Orange street, after an illness of eight months duration, aged forty-nine. She died of dropsical consumption. Some time ago cancer was removed from her breast, and ever since her condition had been precarious. Last winter her hus- band took her on an extended trip in the west in the hope that it would result in the improvement of her health, and fol lowing they made stay at Saratoga Springs with no satisfactory gain. Of late, by advice of her physician, Dr. w. D. Anderson, MT. Smith was preparing to take her, if her strength permitted, on a trip to Denver, Colorado, in the hope that the change of air would work the much wished for result. She, however, sudden ly began to fail and failed rapidly. De- ceased was an esteemed member of the First M. E. church and a teacher in the Sunday school there and for many years was member of the old Third M. E. church, George street, of which her father, the late Charles Plumb, was long leading and active worker. She for years had a large Bible class at the latter church. She leaves four children, James B. jr., aged eighteen, E. May, aged seventeen, Clifford Earle, aged ten, and Clare Lynwood, aged seven. Mr. Smith, her husband, was critically ill last winter and is still feeling severely the effects of that illness, his health being far from being restored.

MINISTER DOUGLASS RESIGNS.

Ills Private. Secretary, E. D. Bassett,
 of This City Unable to Cast Much
 Light Upon the Subject.
 WAsH1NaToN, Aug. 1O.-Hon. Frederick Douglass, United States minister to Hayti, has rendered his resignation to the depart ment of state. The letter of resignation bears date of July 30. MT. Douglass does not give his reasons for rendering his res ignation.
 About forty days ago the minister left Port-au-Prince and came to the United States on leave of absence for the custom ary period of sixty days, during which time he has been at his home in this city.
 Hon. E. D. Bassett, private secretary, was seen by COURIER reporter last even- ing in reference to the above dispatch, at his residence on Temple street this city, and said substantially as follows: "The news of Minister Douglass resignation is practically no surprise to me, as received only few days ago letter from MT. Douglass in which he announced to me the fact that he was about to tender his resig- nation. What the causes are which led uI l bO LIB IoSlSudGlOu l WOulu uOG loc1 dU III erty to state, even though l were entirely cognizant of them. As to my return tc Port-au-Prince, that matter is entirely problematical and will depend entirely up on what may be the outcome of the pres ent situation, or, to state it in plain words I do not know whether I shall return o1 not, nor can I at present give you any information upon the subject. do not. think when Mr.: Douglass
 first returned to this country that he expected to resign but am of the opinior that the comforts of home in his own coun try more than outweighted the natural dis comforts of a residence in Hayti. MT Douglass is an old man and felt the differ ence between the climate and modes O. living'in the two countries more perhaps than younger man might. Affairs be tween this country and Hayti are at pres ent in such a condition that cannot really give you any further information upon thu l subject

A year later, scrofula, in the form of white swellings, appeared on various parts of my body, and for II years I was an invalid, being confined 10 my bed years. In that time ten or eleven sores ap- pearcd and broke, causing me great pain and suffering. I feared never should get we'll.
