The Death of the Eldest Son of
Henry CIay-A Sad story.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has the fol-
lowing concerning the death of Theo-
dore Clay.
At thirty years of age Theodore Clay
was a promising lawyer. He was the
image and hope of the statesman whose
fame was on every tongue. IL is true
that there were whispers of wild living,
and of Indifferent morals, that somewhat
tinged the fair repute and even dark
ened the future prospects of this scion
of noble house. Still it was hoped that
these we're bat the result of youth, and
would be cast aside when circumstances
called upon the matured man to assert
himself and make his talent felt in the
community. ......-.. .---.a-..s
:" Ii was at this turning polntin his life
that Theodore Clay began to pursue, with
an unwearied perseverance, that caused
his friends greatuneasiness, young lady
of Lexington, whom he had long loved
hopelessly. The object Of his attach
ment, who is at the present moment one
of the brightesf ornaments Of Kentucky
society. repulsed firmly, but kindly, every
attention offered by the infatuated young
man after his meaning had become man.
ifest. 1t was Of no use, he would not be
refused and followed his fair fate in the
streets BY day, and wandered in the
neighborhood of her home by night, in
an annoying manner, until at last i be
came evident that he was not All
there, to use the soft phrase by which
a kindly peasantry express insanity
Subsequently violent demonstrations
tended TO confirm the Impression, It

being even related that he went to the
house of Mr.. -, and demanded his
daughter at the pistols point, until at last
the wretched truth could no longer be
ignored and confinement in the Asylum
became a stern necessity This was
accordingly done lin 1882, we believe),
his father providing for his support at
that time, and leaving $40, 900 in his will,
the income from which was secured to
Theodore for life. That life, after thirty
eight years of Imprisonment in what in
the earlier days of his confinement he
was wont to call "a good clearinghouse,
but having some of the biggest fools he
ever saw as boarders," has just closed.
For nearly thirty years he was one of the
most noted of the inmates, not only his
proud descent, but his graceful manners
and flow of conversation rendering him
an object of interest to all visitors He
labored under the hallucination that he
was George Washington, and was fond
Of assuming the traditional attitudes of
the Father of his Country. At the oc-
casional balls given to the inmates
averaging some five hundred in num-
ber) he was always exquisitely dressed,
in the style of his day, and was
the beau par excellence. During all
these long years, despite his general gem
tleness and cheerfulness of manner, he
was restless and discohtented, and re-
CURED close watching, it never, in fact,
having been considered prudent to allow
him to go out into the grounds without
attendants. About the year 1860 his
condition began to grow worse, and he
soon after became demented, continuing
in hopeless idiocy until few days since,
when Death, greater healer than Time,
placed him again upon an equality with
the peers of his early manhood, who had
gone before him to the God that created
him and did with him according to His
inscrutable will. And so ends as sad a
story as the truth of history ever com
'manded to be written jT0UGT 8.l
Two sons of Henry Clay yet survive
him, 7. H. Clay, ex-Minister to Hondu
ras, now residing on his place, Mans
field, near Lexington, and John M.
Clay, the raiser of " Kentucky, and one
of the greatest turf men living.
