ROMANCE OF GEN. CLAY.
Kentucky's Famous Warrior to
Wed His i5-Year-old Ward.
Not known Whether tho Marriage Cere-
,nony Has Yet Been Celesrated-Ec-
centric In His Solitude.

R.cBaoNp, Ky, Nov. l7.-Whcn his old
friends and the public generally learned
yesterday that General Cassius Merccllus
Clay, eighty-four years old, and known
here and abroad as ''thc old war horse of
ante bellum days" had secured Il license,
and was perhaps already married to a
fifteen year-old girl, who had been his
ward, they were surprised beyond meas
ure.
There has been the greatest curiosity
to ascertain whether the lily assorted
couple have been really married. as yet,
but the General has long lived in solitude
at his country seat, at White Hall, in
the Madison county forest, ten miles from
Richmond, and it is in this spot where
the honeymoon is to DC passed. The place
is all but inaccessible, for the old gentle
man, long prey to his own eccentric fam
cies, has maintained an armed guard
around the White Hall, to protect him
from persons VINO, he mas oeiicVcd, sought
his life. and the country is so lonely that
no one has been able to ascertain the ab-
solute truth of the stories now aHoat.
Besides this, no one here, The nearest
point to White HALLS willing now to take
Il trip to General Clay's home, which
could not be reached until the shades of
night had fallen. There is not man in
the county who would care to disturb the
General at night.
Brutus j. Clay, bis son, told me last
night that his father was not yet married,
and neither the County Judge nor any OF
the magistrates will perform the ceremony
