Uncle Toms Cabin.
SOME OF THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS.

A Detroit correspondent of the New York
Tribune gives very interesting sketch Of the
early life of one Lewis Clarke, now of Essex
county Canada who is the original Of George
in Madison county, Kentucky, and at the age Of
about twenty-five escaped from slavery and went
to Canada. After various adventures he settled
in 1s45 at Cambridgeport, Mass. and it was at
that place that Mrs. Stowe met him Uncle Tom '
was compound character, made mp OF JOSIAH
Henson and Samuel Peter. The former of the
two is still living at the age of nearly hundred
at Daun, Canadian settlement built by fugitives
from "the peculiar institution. Peter was
whipped to death by an overseer in Kentucky.
The Eliza Harris, Of the novel. was not the wife
of Lewis Clarke, but woman whom he remen-
bers well. Other characters of the novel he also
identifies, though none of them so clearly as
hose whose names we have given.

THE PHILADELPHIA "PosT'' IN BAD COM
PAW


We fear that the Philadelphia Morning Post is
.o unfortunate az to have William d. Thomas for
a stockholder If it be so--as we hear it said
We trust his shares can be promptly bought out
by some straightforward Republican, and true
friend of the Post 30 that the paper may be at
once released from every obligation, Whatever,
TO 30 much as treat calmly the sedition which
Thomas is trying to foment in the Republicah
party of Philadelphia, far less to assist It's pro-
yress. The Post has been an independent HON
orable newspaper thanks to the high-Ininded
impulses of its editor, Mr.. Stockton, and though
it led a revolt against Col. Mann's control OF the
party in Philadelphia that was breach OF disei-
plne promptly condoned by even the most rigid
observer of the rules. But the attack on Judge
Kelley, and the championship of Thomas, in
which. we most sincerely regret to see, 1t has
now engaged, are without a shadow of the justi-
hcation that could be plead in the Mann case,
and we are sure that threefourths OF the earnest,
thinking, radical Republicans who have censtitu-
ted the Posts readers, will utterly disapprove
this most unfortunate step.
Indeed the offence has triple shape. As
choice between the men, in their fitness for SER
for Judge Kelley in choice between a regular
Republican candidate, nominated by a two to one
vote, in a most complimentary manner, and nj
independent" schismatic, surely no Republican
newspaper ought to choose the latter while, IL
the third test, the past fidelity of the Post II
tho principle of Protection should forbid 1t to be
come party to the infamous schemes OF the so
called "Revenue Reformers," whose secret con
alaye at Washington resolved to defeat at tn
elections, fairly or unfairly. the prominent Pre-
tectionists now in the House. The subtle, bu
evident, leaning of Mr.. Thomas to Free Trad

ON SOME RECENT SERMONS.
BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

His death eclipsed the gayety of nations, and
Impoverished the public stock Of harmless plea
sure.n-Johnson Of Garrick.l
man Of Genius, simple, warm sincere,
He left world grown kindlier than he came;
His hand the needy knew, but not his name;
Dumb creatures snuffed friend when he drew near,
And the strange dog prcked one suspicious ear,
Then couched his head secure. Safe be this fame
From critics measured praise or close picked blame,
He loved Gods gentler face and made II dear.
Was then Stylltes' post the better way,
Or mingling with his kind, a man with men,
Like Him that was and was not such as they?
Judge ye not, but to my simple ken. d.
II on your guideboards the right name be kept
Some foe hath changed their places while ye slept.

LITERATURE AND JOURNALISM.

Old and Ne,o for August opens with Mrs.
Stoves New Story, "Pink and White Tyranny"
The author wishes the reader to understand that
this is not novel; of which the end il far in the
future ''but little commonplace story, all
about one man and one woman, living straight
along in one little prosaic town in New England"
1t is to run through five or six numbers Of the
magazine, and end with moral. The second
chapter of John Whopper, the Newsboy,'
leaves that interesting juvenile in predcament
from which nothing less than the ingenuity OF
Cobb can extricate him. "She Writes" is con-
tinued; Edward A. Pollard makes his first ap-
pearance in this monthly with an article on
"American Political Iiterature;' O. II. Tuttle
writes up 'sThe Fenian Campaign" and "Chinese
Transcendentalism" is elucidated by John E.
Johnson. The other articles are validity of
Our knowledge of God" by orville Dewey I;
Francis Assist" by S. Harrington Northern
Pacific Railroad" by Geo. NJ. Steele and "The
Passion Play" The 'Record Of Progress con-
tains articles by Edward Rowland, +. b. sanborn,
Sidney Andrews, and others. The Examiner re-
views the books Of the month.
The August number of The Lady's Friend
has charming steel plate from Sully's picture Of
ssThe Child on the Beach," the usual Colored
Fashions, a Colored Braiding Pattern, and sea

They say that State Senator dooding, of this
city, made a pitiable figure before the recent
Court Martial, in New York. in the Baily case.
He was called upon to explain the nature of the
bill which without due form or regularity. he
matched up to repeal the Baily divorce. The
smart Senator probably knows better how to
peddle marriage licenses, than to annul divorce

Senator Fenton, of New York, takes wiss and
sound party COURSE in his action relative to the
Murphy appointment. He writes to tho Tribune
he is g unwilling to do anything which might
"tend to prolong an unfortunate controversy.
" have no other object Or wish, than to pro-
ssmote the best interests of the Republican
"country ..... Desiring as heartily as ever
"the success of the principles of the Republ-
can party, and believing that the interests OF
" the country are bound up in their continued
ascendency, shall not allow myself, for any
personal reasons, to do what might impair
"their efficiency or produce greater discourage
ment to those who give to our cause an unset
g fish support"
After this manly and frank expression, let us
have no more criticism from any Republican
newspaper of Governor Fenton's course in the
Murphy matter. He will surely do much, BY
this action, to heal the trouble in our party, in
the State of New Xork, and secure substantial
triumph there this fall.
