DOUGLASS’ HOUSE~SHE COULD XOT RESPECT THE NEW MIS- TRESS OF THE MANSION. “I have not entered any suit at_all for my sister against Mr. Douglass,” sald Mr. Nathan Sprague, son-in-law of Mr. Fred Douglass, to a Star reporter last evening. “I simply a@vised with a lawyer, whom I never saw betere, a8 to whether my sister could get anything for her services, as there was no written contract between her and Mr. Douglass, 1 stated that I Would go and see Mr. Dougiass if the lawyer thought we had anyclaim, I have entered ho Suit, and ] did notexpectto. What I wanted to know Was whether my sister had any legal claim. I knew that Mr. Dougiass would pay It If he thought ft was a just debt. fewas not a:personal matter at all, or aimatter in which amy personal feeling en- tered, but a matter of dollars and cents. All the business on my sister's part was done by me, and there was no hani or unkind feeling against Mr. Douglass at all. Tealied upon Mr. Dougiass, who told me to make out the acaount, and if ft was just he would, pay It. You see Ehiad no oceaston to go to law, because hefsaid Re would pay it. The move on my sister's part was not instigated by any one who Is inimical to Mr. Douglass, as I have seen itstated. It 1s a simple clalm for services, pre- sented a8 any other business matter might be pre- sented.” “You expect to havea settlement?” sald the re- r. ” sald Mr. Sprague, “the bill has been made out and Twill present it "to him when he comes home. It will make a claim for compensation for Sas housekeeper for 11 years, 9 months and I ask simply that he pay my sister fair wages as a housekeeper. She was looked upon as one of the family, and I thought that for that rea- son she could not recover any pay. ‘That was the reason I took the advice of counsel. My sister did not do the washing and hard work of the house, but did generally the work of a housekeeper. AS Mr. Douglass says, she was well cared for and dressed well. She was regarded as a member of the family, and he used to say that 1f anything happened to hin she would be provided for. ‘Twelve years out of a w' man’s Ife 1s a great deal. Ifshe had not given this service to him she might have been st work at someting else, and provid- Told age, asked the reporter, “was she obliged to leave Mr. Douglass’ house?” i “She could not stay there with Miss Pitts,” sad Mrs. Sprague. “They were not on good terms. She did not disitke her _vecause she Was White or because she married Mr. Douglass. She disliked her long before that—hefore anything was sild about the marriage. Mr. Douglass was married Thwsday, and Friday some one told me. ‘Mr, Douglass “Is married.” 1 laughed and sald ‘That has been the tale for a long tune.’ I did not. be- Heve tt. Of course, T afterwards learned that tt Was true, and the next morning I went over to Mr. Douglass’ house to take away Annie, my daughter, Who had been staying there with my Sister. Mr. Douglass said that Annie would stay there. ve talked to Annic, and I told her if she stayed there she ought to respect the present Mrs. Douglass as much us she had Mother Douglass, who died, She sald ‘I cannot do that’ Mr. Douglass said “Then uu had better go.” Lasked my sister If she would live with and respect Mra. Douglass as she had mother and she sald she would not. Mr, Douglass, sald ‘Then you had better go.’ Now, I think that is very much lke belng turned out of the house. Mr. Sprague yesterday recetved a letter from Mr. T. J. Mackey, Saying: “You are entirely correct In your statement that when you consuited me as to the matter of the clan of your sister upon Mr. Douglass for services rendered I advised you to pre- sent the account to Mr. Douglass for settlement be- fore Uiking any action in the courts. You stated that you Mitended to do so, and that you desired to inake a fair settlement with him in behaif of your sister, Helen Loulse Sprague, without going to law. Your statement to me had nothing todo with Mr. Douglass’ marital affairs, nor did the case Involve any review of his domeste relations.

Fre@k Dongtas: My Dear Frrenp: Though tt may seem late in the day to do so, I beg to congratulate you on your marriage, and to wish you and Mrs. Douglass long lives and great happiness and prosperity. You remember when you and I were in the Gar- field campatgn together, I used to tell you that you were a great man, and that tho vast crowds that asseinbled to hear you everywhere proved it by thelr presence and their boundiess cheers and praises. You always dened that you were great, and protested that you were only an ordinary man. But now that all the newspaper world 18 gossiping about. your marriage, and making more editorial fuss over it than it has done over the mnarrlage of any crowned head In fifty years, 1 hope you wf] no lonzer persist in your deprecatory pro- testations, Your friend, J. M. Daizer, MR. DOUGLASS’ REPLY. Private Datzetl: My Dean Stn: Your kind and generous letter did not surprise me a bit. In fact, I was looking for It, and should have been surprised If 1t had not come. Mrs. Douglass, not less than myself, sincerely thanks you for your hearty congratulations and S the nowshapers disregard al! my ast Lélng considered a great wan, so © the concluston to let them have thelr y without further contradiction, material upon which they base my ¢clalm to great- ness will soon be exhausted, and that they will per- force be compelled to own’ that Iam but an ordi- nary man, done but an ordinary thing, and that the e been fools to make so much ot meandit. 1 think this ts about the last sensation of which I can possibly be the cause. I do not know what I can do next to gain 80 bound- less attention as the fact of my marriage bas guined me, and already, Uke Wolsey, I am bidding farewell to all my greatness, There are a million of people in thiS country of mixed white men by colored women, know of a colored Wotan here in Washington whois the mother of ten children by one of our late most Iniluential cluzens, but no noise was made over the fact simply because the woman was his concubine, ant hot his wife, It would seem that what the Amer- ican people object to 1s not the mixture or the ut honorable: marriage between them. Is tion too severe? Perhaps It is, but docs hot the storm of eriitcism to which I Nave been subjected scem to justify It? You will be glad to know that your old co-worker In the Garfield cain verse storm now beatiug upon him, but 13, in fact, quite cheerful and happy. Tam delighted by Wiat you tell me of your pros- perity and Success in your profession. Long inay you flourish. Yours truly always, Washington, D. C., February 1, 1881. ee gee A Cuicaco Dox Jvay.—The young scapegrace, John Curtis, who creaied a sensation about a year ago when he tuyeigied Mrs. Dixon away: from her it. Louls home, deserting her husband and three ‘ong children, has been again heard from. On Thursday he eloped from St. Louls with Mrs. Wil- Doverass. son, a Woman nearly twi his age, the wife of a well-known gruln broker. ‘The cotiple were last | ‘seen taking their baggage on the steamer Baton Rouge, bound for New Orleans, Mrs. Dixon, his first victim, was also old enough to be his mother. ‘They went to New Orleans together, where a sepa- Tation took place, andthe deluded Woman went to Florida, where she died. She was divoreed from her husband soon after her elopement. Serixa Hosons. As a spring medicine, blood purifier, diuretic and aperient no other so-called blood purifier or sarsapa- rillacompound is fora moment to be compared with the Curicuna Resouvent. It combines four great | ‘ies in one medicine, acting at once upon the digestive organs, blood, kidneys and bowels, For those who wake with Sick Headache, Furred Tongue, Bilious- ness, Dyspepsia, Torpidity of the Liver, Constipation, Piles, High-colored Urine, Inflamed Kidneys, Feverish Symptoms and other congested conditions requiring a speedy, gentle and safe aperient and diuretic nothing in inedicine can possibly equal it, THE HERITAGE OF WOE, Misery, shame and agony, often bequeathed as a gole legacy to children by parents, is neglected Scrofula. To cleanse the blood of this hereditary poison, and thus re- move the most prolific cause of human suffering, to clear the skin of disfizuring humors, itching tortures, humiliating eruptions and 1. athsome sores caused by it, to purify and beautify the skin and restore the hair 80 that no trace of the disease remains, Curioura REsox- VENT, the new blood purifier, diuretic and aperient, and Curicuna and Curteuna Soar, the great skin cures and beautifiers, areinfallible, I HAD SALT RHEUM In the most aggravated form for cight years. No kind of treatment, medicine or doctors did me any permanent good. My friends in Malden know how I suffered. When. ‘I began to use the Curicuna Remepies my limbs were s0 raw and tender that Icould not bear my weight on them without the skin cracking and bleeding, and was obliged to go about on crutches, Used the Curicuns ‘ReMEpres five months, and was completely and perma- nently cured, Mrs. 8.

I have used blood purifiers, pills, and other advertised remedies, but experienced no relief until I procured the Coricura Remepres, which, although used carelessly. and irregularly, cured me, allaying that terrible itching, and restoring my skin to its natural color.
