Desires to Live in Richmond.

LeSaTGS 10 f-sve w
Dispatches from Richmond state that
Mrs. Jefferson Davis has expressed an
earnest desire to make her home III Rich
mond. The only thing that prevents the
carving out of this desire is the lack of
means necessary TO live in large city.
In Richmond VII be the permanent
resting place Of her great husband, aud
here a,gratefnl people viii erect monuJ'

It is only natural therefore that Mrs.
Davis should desire 70 spend her last
years in Richmond where she VIII be near
the tomb Of the great statesman with
whom, as devoted wife shc walked hand
in hand through the greater part OF their
lives.
Jefferson Davis sacrificed everything in
this life for the good Of tho South, and
now that he is dead ii viii be crying
shame il the Southern people shall allow
lis widow to spend the declining years OF
her life in poverty. Think Of il, Che
w;dow OF leiferso, Davis unable, for lack
Of means, to make her home near bis

The South is prosperous nov and e
memorial fund can be raised with little
difficulty If one OF shc great journals OF
the South vii! take The iniative and con-
stitute itself committee TO raise this
memorial for presentation 70 Mrs Davis
We believe that if presented in proper
form with due deicacy it would be
accented in the spirit that il should bc

Southern people, OF Che life and services
of one than whom no one holds warmer
place IN HE HS'tt>. VI t!'S !" wv ''O"'i.

1t would lake more generosity on inc
part Of Mrs. PAWS 10 accept such memo

r Ridiculous CanarCi.

That is a very silly story going the
rounds Of the press that Senator Arthur
p. German has announced bis intention to
support Cleveland for the Presidential
nomination. AS This stors goes Gor-
man has concluded to lay aside any
Presidential aspirations he may have unti!

nomination Of Cleveland iext year.

will scarcely deceive the most credtllous.

soveral months ago We told Of IN old
lady. then living in Philadelphia, who had
been the place. of Henry Clay. We nov
learn Of the death Of this woman,a and OF
the destruction of the letters from Clay
which she used to exhibit as the greatest
treasure in her possession she was 4
ouadroon, her mother n Kentucky siaye.
and her fathcr,haying been>the noPhe~ OF
George Washington Clay saw her first
during one of his campaigns in Kentucky.
She was u marvel of beauty, and her father
had appropriated considerable sum Of
money to her education and support lh!s
girl went to Philadelphia and lived IN an
establishment set up for herby Mr.. Gay.
To this house would Clay repair when his
duties at Washington admitted OF his
leaving that CITY. After Cia;v's death his
nlacee was married to German and they
went to California. After serera' years
she returned a widow, aud lived in Pillla-
delphia IN TO the time of her death. 10
the end she retained much OF hcr persona
beauty and all her old charms OF manner.
She was exceptionally intelligent: !hd her
"reminiscences of old times were tn!l OF i'll
terest and Information,
Several years ago she revisited Ae".
Orleans, and while there she invited Ny.
Clarence King, Of New York. who happen
ed to he there en- route from Mexico to
90 with her to see the house where as 9
girl she had lived in the old town. The
two walked down Canal street toward tlse
French market, aud came duly UP TO the
Clay Statue. The old LADY did not know
of the existence Of this statue. Mr.. King
called her affection 10 IL.
"She was overcome with emotion, says
Mr. King. Il was neyera witness 10 i
more pathetic scene. In fact was con-
PEELED 10 call carriage to take her back
TO her hotel
The old lady had forty love letters lroA.:
CLAY. Just before her death she read
them all over for the last time ana lien
burned them. She said she could not
leave them for others to read--cthcrs who
might misintcrpret them. Dir. King SAYS
that she allowed him to read many OF
them, for she was proud of Clay's regard
for her. These letters indicate hat Clay
was madly in love with her. After real
ing them il was apparent thot the real
reason for Clay's leaving the Senate was
not political, but WAS a determination to
follow his beautiful place. to New Or
leans, whiihor she had gone.
