A False Report.

The story which has been pretty gem
orally circulated about the marriage
engagement Of Mrs. SartorIs. General
Grants daughter, to General Douglass,
appears TO have been the outcome OF
nothing but gossip which fourishes quite
rs much in Washington as elsewhere. A
correspondent from that city, who seems
TO have the right Of the matter says that
the whole Grant family and General
Henry Kyd Douglass are kept busy deny
ing Mrs. Sartoriss reported engagement
to General Douglass. But nobody has
denied that the stout soldier is devoted
to MRS sartoris and her children who are
equally fond Of him. Nothing could be
prettier TO outsiders than the chivalrous
attention Of General Douglass to the
daughter OF his old foe, and somehow
they always manage to be in each others
company.
General Douglass is not rich man az
all, and Mrs. Sartcrls would have to re-
sign her income to her children II she
married again, so not only the two are
not engaged now, but probably never
will be-but that doesn't hinder General
Douglass from being Mrs Sartoriss
favored and favorlte cavalier. Her
daughter Vivian will return from Eng
land this Summer, and is expected to
remain in this country
Il Is reported that Miss Vivian sar-
toris is studying for the stage, but the
rumor lacks probability. IL is one Of
the penalties Ct notoriety that all sorts
Of rumors shall be ailoat concerning
their movements, and even their inten
tions. and this report OF tho letter
writer viii add as much interest to the
