THOUSANDS of Odd Fellows
have been in Baltimore this
week. and it is safe to say they
have had a grand time. From all
over the United States they
journeyed to Baltimore, the
home of Odd Fellowship in this
country. Baltimore is doing
herself great credit as a con-
vention city, and is doing some
effectual advertising of her de-
served greatness.

LARGE CROWD OUT TO Be REUNITED
Gen. Marcellus Clay TO Give
Former Wife a Home.
Look After the Aged Man.

Lexington, July 2-Gen. Cassius
Marcellus Clay and his former child
wife, Dora Richardson, will be re-
united, living under the same roof, at
least, IL not remarked. When the
girl, then in her l4th year, Was mar
ried to Gen. Clay she had been court
ed by Riley Brock, q neighborhood
boy, who was running barefoot about
the little village of Valley View, and
she could not forget him. When her
childhood sweetheart signified his
wish to make her his wife she became
Indifferent to her aged husband and
told hin she wanted her young sweet
heart. The Sage Of Whitehall did not
wish to give MP his young wife but
when she cried and begged he consent
cd TO divorce her. Brock had joined
the army, and, returning, and, in the
eyes OF HIS sweetheart, although she
was the wife OF the former minister TO
Russia, the famous abolitionist and
duelist, he was hero.
Gen. Clay gave her home in Wood
ford county and furnished It for her,
even to having hung on her walls the,
costly bric-a- brso and beautiful paint
ings he had secured while in the land
OF the car, as the representative Of.
the United States. Brock soon tired
Of the place and sold ont everything. J,
Gen. Clay sought to get the girl TO,
come back to him, and she did go bacl
to Whitehall. but took her husban,
with her. Gen. CLAY ran him of
with shotgun, and soon the girl fol !
lowed. They have since roamed about
the country, and Sunday evening
Brock was killed by o train at Long
view, Ill, and buried I'm the little
cemetery there. Now, the widow
says, she is going back TO live with
Gen. CLAY the remainder OF his days.
He continually calls for her, and yes
terday, as soon as he learned Of the
death of Brock, he caused u telegram
to b. sent to her asking her to return
to Whitehall. She has one child,
which she named for Gen. CLAY,
whom she says has been more than
kind to her.

Prom the mountains or Camden, Me-,
comes a story of a Philadelphia mer-
chant who has a summer cottage In
that village and who wished to ex-
change a lively horse which he owned
with a French Canadian who had a
more gentle animal which women and
children could drive. The Frenchman
was willing to trade. but for some rea-
son insisted upon repeating to the
visitor that the local horse did not
look as well as the one belonging
TO the Philadelphia man.
An exchange satisfactory TO both
parties was eventually made. and the
first time the visitors wife took the
new horse out for n drive she discov-
cred that the beast was as blind as q
