HAD A LONELY THANKSGIVING.
Gen. Clay's Young Wife Still Remains
Away From Him.

away from Him.
dispatch from Whitehall, KY, yester-
day says there was a vacant seat at the
table of Gen. Cassius Marcellus Clay, mas
ter of Whitehall. today. His young wife,
Dora Richardson Clay, is still obstinate,
and contented herself with the cornbread,
black coffee and hog meat of her brothers
table. BY her side was seated Will Bryant,
the young man who attempted to take his
life Wednesday night They chatted gayly
and never spoke of Whitehall or General
Clay. After dinner Dora had many callers,
and she entertained them by playing on q
guitar and French harp.
General Clay arose late this morning
and was feeling even worse, he said, than
he had on any previous morning. No It'd
ings had come to him from his absent wife,
and when he seated himself at the table
to partake of his Thanksgiving dinner his
large eyes filled with tears. He was alone.
Toomey's wife, who is the generals cook,
had set before him the best that his poultry
yard, wine cellar and garden afforded, but
he did not seem to enjoy it.
Rev. Mr.. Young, whom the General asked
to induce his wife to return. has received
word from her that she does not care for
advice. and that she is capable of taking
care of herself.
