Harriet BpCcher Stoves Last Days,

y
The gifted authoress of "Uncle
Toms Cabin" now so years of age,
is said to DO failing rapidly. A gen
tleman who recently visited her home
in Hartford tells mo that she has
failed very much Of late, and her
mind is so clonded that she cannot
talk consecutively on any subject.
She is not confined to her room and
she does not require a physicians
care, but her friends are apprehensive
that the end is not far off. A great
many letters still come to her, but
these she does not see. She is con.
stantly under surveillance. Her last
days are made as pleasant as wealth
and KIND friends can make them, but
she seems to know nothing Of what is
going on about her, and, indeed, is
almost as helpless as child.
All the world is familiar with her
literary work, but it is not generally
known that her first venture as a
writer was in the shape of an epitath
placed on slab over the grave of
pet cat. 1t was written when she
was eight years Of age. 1t seems that
poor pus., Of whom the child was very
fond, had u fit, and acted so badly
that her father shot it. There was
flood Of tears. of course, and then
came the cats funeral. The next day
the future great authoress wrote these
lines:

Baton Rouge Advocate The array
of prominent anti (Louisiana) lottery
leaders in New Orleans, who are stock
holders in the Mexican lottery, as pre-
sented in the article from the Times
Democrat published yesterday, is a
curious complication of the pending
campaign, and very suggestive of a
possible source of "boodlen for our
brethren of the sanity side If the
Mexican lottery can drive the Louisi-
ana lottery out of existence, it will
come in and occupy the entire field of
the United States as market for its
tickets. In other words, it will be the
only octopus" in sight, and can I.suck
the life blood of the people, without
paying a dollar of revenue to Louisi
