1t may not be generally known but it
is fact, nevertheless. that Judge Burd
Lacy has become a close second to
James Whitcomb Riley in the race for
poetical honors. We learn, on the au-
thority of Postmaster T. A. McClearey,
that the Judge is now in possession of a
valuable assortment of poems among
which are the finest in modern times.
Mr.. McClearey farther informs Us that
he has the honor of having rehearsed
the Judge at the general delivery win
dow and says he became SO intensely
enthusiastic in his subject that he took
no notice of patrons OF the Office until
Mac called his attention to the fact
that he was monopolizing too much
space, when he generously moved to
one side but insisted on concluding his
poem. Come to think Of it, Judge La.
cy and Jim Riley were schoomates to-
gether in Indiana and 1t is within the
range of possibilities that they cult.

AprOpos of the coming of the Coup &
Raymond's Uncle Toms Cabin, Mrs.
Stoves greatest work, short history
of the original cabin may be of interest.
The people about Nachitoches, La,
have long insisted that Robert Meal
pin was the original Lagree. His house
and plantation were the only ones fit
ting the description in the book, on or
near the Red River, and the only old
man in the state who filled the bill. +"
He was Incorporate and merciless and
died before the war, leaving a memory
for brutality that is even now men
toned with horror. On his place lived
q faithful old negro sold from Kentuck-
ey, who suffered everything but that of
actual torture to death, and Mr.. s..
Shipin, the present wealthy owner of
the estate, has preserved the cabin with
great care, in the confident belief that
in time it would become an object
OF natural curiosity. The cabin is of
cypress logs covered with cypress
boards and sound as when built. some
forty years ago. 1t is presumed that
Mrs. Stowe used the noYelist's priyi-
lege of combining the experience of
several negroes in one. simply as a relic
or old slave times. The cabin will pre-
sent great interest at the opera house
tonight.
