III CLAY FAMILY.
Elizabeth Cady SIanton's Sian
der Refuted.


A Correspondent of the Lexington
(Ky.) Statesman says:
"Among the many false and misrep-
reservations which have recently ap-
peared in the public press, l am in
formed there is one copied extensively
in the papers of the United States over
the signature of Elizabeth Cady STAN
ton, in regard to the Hon. H. Clay, his
lady and family. It was to have been
hoped that the eminent public services
ofrhe Hon. H. Clay to his country, the
unobtrusive piety and Christian char
acter of Mrs. Clay, would have opera
ted as a shield to protect them from
such false charges. Ihave understood
that she charges that Mrs. Clay was
left at Ashland to make what she could
to supply means for the education of
her children. This is utterly false
Many years of her life were passed by
Mrs. Clay in the city of Washington.
"The first four years of the time that
Mr.. Clay was Secretary of State under
Mr.. Adams she resided in Washington
city, and extended a liberal hospitality
to the friends of her husband and 9TH
ers. Mrs. Clay preferred her own pleas
ant home of Ashland, the cultivation
of its lowers, its fruits, and her garden,
to all the frivolities Of Washington So
ciety. Mrs. Clay was uncontrolled mis-
tress of Ashland. There never was a
man more generous and liberal in his
own family than Mr.. Clay. As to his
attentions to other ladies in Washing
ton, they were no more than the cour-
teous bearing Of a chivalrous gentle
man which hat portion of society mer-
tied.
ain regard to Theodore ". Clay and
his insanity, it was produced by a blow
accidentally received on the head from
an ak in the hands of a negro boy. 1t
was only the thickness of q felt hat that
he wore at the time that preserved his
life. DR.. Pindell, who tre6ned the
skull of Theodore Clay, declared at the
time of that operation, that at the age
of about thirty years he would proba-
bly, become deranged in consequence
of the skull pressing against the brain,
unfortunately occurred.
"In regardto Thomas II. Clay, he has
been for more than three years con-
fined the greater portion of the time
to his house, but during this time his
house has been constantly filed with
young company, none of whom would
say he was rabid and ill-tempered.-
His physician, On the contrary, says he
has new seen any n bear with more
patience the numerous attacks to which
he has been subjected. Mr.. John n.
Clay is a farmer and raiser of fine stock.
As neither Mr.. John Clay nor Thomas
Clay are aspirants for public favor, we
do not see why these calumnious shafts
should have been sped against them

Res- Recent experiments in opium
cultivation resulted in complete sue
cess, and in future it is to be grown on
a large scale in Vermont. The at
tempt was originally made, we believe,
by a Mr.. Wilson, of Monkton, in that
State. He sowed, in the spring of
1868, about six acres with poppy seed.
The yield from the gathered juice of
the poppy-heads or capsules was $40
pounds, for which the grower got SSto
$40 a pound from druggists in New
England. 1t is said this quality of
opium will produce, with care, ten per
cent. of morphia. When We remem-
Der the statements of chemists and
physicians abou. the alarming increase
during late years of the consumption
of this drug in the United States, it
may we'll be questioned whether the
prospect of adding to its supply af-
fords room for congratulation.

The result in Morgan County has
been anything but complimentary to
the Radicals, although they have sue

The Radical State ticket received 1901
votes to 1919 for the Democrats, and
l79 for the Prohibitionists, giving the
Radicals a majority ove the Democrats
of 252, a decrease of l56 from their ma
jority one year ago. VIM. P. Sprague,

A Love Story from Mormon
dom The Suicide of an As
trOnOmer's Daughter.

Miss Laura Claire, the beautiful daugh-
ter of Professor Ignaz Claire, the astrono-
mer, has, il has been well known for som
time, been engaged 10 Mr.. Alfred Vivian.
the young writer, author of "Hell and HeG-
ven-Which Will You Have?" "Think
and Repent" prayers for the Sinners
and other beautiful tracts, which have Civ
Gu him quite a reputation ; but for some
reason or other it has been suspected that
there was a GOODNESS between them. Still,
Miss Claire loved him devctedly, and the
preparations for the wedding were going
on.
IL the meanwhile Mr.. Joseph Morton, a
young gent of this city, had fallen desper.
ately in love with Miss Claire, and refused
to be denied admiitance to the house, al
though Professor Claire had several times
ordered him out. He, when treated thus,
declared mysteriously that he knew GER
tain secrets about Miss Claire, and if she
did not marry him he would repeat them.
He demanded to see her alone. This she
finally consented TO, aud, after a long in
terview, he departed, stating he would re-
turn the next day. To this she smiled, and
said, "Yes, / shall always be glad to see
you"
These words were repeated by one of the
erVants 10 Mr.. Vivian when he came that
evening, and he asked his af6anced what
they meant. She said "Nothing" After
a while he said, "Do you love this Nor
ton?" Miss Claire laughed and said, "Don't
be a fool, Alfred" Then you refuse to
answer" he SAID. She frowned. You
know l love you," she answered /; "and if
you ask me any more silly questions I shall
be angry" Mr.. Vivian left shortly after
apparently much displeased.
The next morning Morton came. The
servants noticed that Miss Claire was dead
ly pale, but she received him quite cords
ally. "You must have some wine" she
said. "of COURSE" he replied, "and with
you" He took a glass and drank it,
Shortly after he had departed, but before
he had walked three blocks, he fell to the
ground and was picked up dead. A post
norton examination revealed that he had
been poisoned. Miss Claire was arrested.
She sent for Vivian. "Do you believe me
guilty?" she asked. az have nothing to
say" he replied: al am, and have been
for q month. engaged to be married to a
fair lady n this city, and it is not right
that ! should be seen with you"
The young lady uttered a piercing
scream. ooh, Alfred" she shrieked, al
did it for your sake-I loved you-he could
have prevented our m~arriage-oh, Alfred,
do not desert me-save me-save MEL
Mr.. Vivian tore himself away, and would
have quilted the cell, when Miss Claire
placed herself with her back against the
door. Look" she said and before he
could prevent it, she had drawn a dagger,
and stabbing herself, fell dying at his feet.
81 forgive you, 1 love you" she murmured,
her eyes closed forever"
