MRS. STOVES FIRST BOOK.

Now that Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe. In the Autumn of a noble and
w%ell.spent life, Is again pre-eminently
before the public, and by her readings
from her own works showing not only
a new but a very delightful phase Of
her many sided character, 1t may be
pertinent to bring TO mind a few facts
relating to her first and greatest work,
Uncle Toms Cabin"
Uncle Toms Cabin" was first pub
lished "a 4 serial In the National Era,
Of Washington, In the Summer aud
Winter Of 1851. IL IS unnecessary to
speak Of the eagerncss with which 1t
was read or its remarkable effect upon
the public mind. An offer to publish
IN book form was made to Phillips s.
Samson, OF Boston. but 1t was rejected
by them. The wife Of q Mr.. Jewett OF
that city had read the story, and she
urged her husband to publish 1t, which
he did. When 1t vas decided to pub
lish, Mr.. Jewett said to Mr.. Stowe that
1t would bring his wife something
handsome )" while Mrs. Stowe IN a
tone In which q little hope, more Joy
and some incredulity were mingled,
replied that she hoped 1t would bring
her enough to purchase what she had
not possessed In a long tlme-a new
silk dress. The first settlement OF the
publisher must have been q sever dis
appointment to her, for 1t did not
bring her tho coveted silk dress, but
ten thousand dollars. Within the first
six months over one hundred anu fifty
thousand copies were sold IN America,
while the first London edition reached
the figure Of two hundred and forty
thousand. It was speedily translated
into all the European languages, aud

The SEWING GIRLS OF BosToN.-It Il
reported that ten thousand girls who
have been employed in sowing and
other branches of work In Boston have
been thrown out Of employment BY the
late fire. Many of these girls have
parents and relatives to aid or support
BY their labor. AS this disaster comes
at the beginning of Winter, and without
a moments warning, the. suffering OF
this class Of victims will undoubtedly
be very severe. Men will be furnished
employment to a great extent by the
rebuilding OF the burnt district, but
the women will be compelled to look
elsewhere for the means of earning a
livelihood. A committee Of ladies was
appointed In Boston, OIL Monday, to
look after the needs OF their unfortu-
hate sisters. They will probably re-
quire the cooperation Of the ladies Of
other cities to aid them iu their good
work.-Sacrdmerto Union.

NEW YORK EDITORS.

A correspondent Of the Rochester
Democrat writes thus concerning some
Of the peculiarities of Bennett, Gree
ley and Raymond:
Bennett was the only great editor
who kept the public at a distance.
Greeley's policy was to admit all who
wanted to see him. The editorial
rooms OF the Tribune were open and
Greeley could be eel hard at work.
n he heard a step behind him he would
exclaIm, without stopping his pen.
What's wanted :" II the visitor
said, am speak when you have a mo.
ment to spare" the reply would be,
$50 on, ri hear 1t now" II the
man had anything worth attention,
Greeley would reply, still writing,
and It would be q very important mat.
ter that arrested his pen and caused
him TO turn around. Mr.. Raymond
also allowed himself to be seen In a
very public manner. thus carrying oul
the custom of the Tribune. where he
was bred. A gentleman once called
on him with the inquiry: care you al
ieisure?" mo, sir" was Raymond't
reply, "but I am at your SERVICE
Bennett, on the other hand, kept his
editorial rooms locked. An acquaint.
ance Of mine once got into the sane.
tum and was Immediately ordered Out
and the door slammed In his face. The
door OF the editorial rooms Of the Her
aid Is now guarded BY a janitor both
day and night, two men being thus re.
lieyed. The visitor finds at the head
of the iron staircase this attendant
who Is very polite and now offers tc
convey a card If desired, but mentions
the edict Of the exclusion. If card II
sent in, there Is a place to sit awaiting
a reply, and a few newspaper files At

euce Is desired he will be ushered In
II not, be refused All interview. l have

more than twenty feet by twenty-five,
N which a dozen men each have .

ent departments are separated BY
wooden partitions, not more than two
thirds the hight Of the ceiling, which

Some men cannot write unless In SO

Is said that this gun will do execution
at a distance Of LOO yards, and can
be discharged twcnty-six times per
minute. The arm is light and simple
In construction, and this, in connection
with Its great range and the rapidity
with which 1t can be fred, probably
renders 1t the most effective infantry
arm In the world. The care taken and

PRosprcrrvE ORIENTAL WAR

According to latest dispatches there
IA very good prospect Of an armed
conflict between Japan and Corea.
About 1000 years ago the japanese In
v,ded Corea, subjusated the people
and laid them under tribute. The
bravo Corsans have tried two or three
times since to throw OF the onerous
woke. but their conquerors were too
strong for them. and each failure only
made matters worse, besides which the
Coreans had sundry little civil wars OF
their own to attend to. Meanwhile,
however, for some time past they have
not paid this forced tax, stubbornly
deferring doing so unless again forced.
When the present. Japanese Emperor
became firmly seated upon his throne
he sen. word to the Corean Emperor
that this suspended tribute together
with all arrearages must be paid with
on. further delay. The Corean Gov
erument made the following terse and
significant reply:
1--WE have received your letter, and
have given It very deep consideration,
comparing your dispatch with other
dispatches. It Is q long time since
there has been any Intercourse be-
tween our two countries. Your dis
patch demands payment Of tribute.
We will show how this affair stands.
'Taico Sauna, without provocation or
cause OF any kind, invaded Corea, and
made Corea sign a document agreeing
to pay tribute. In those days Corea
was unprepared for war, aud had not
even been Informed Of the intention OF
Japan. But It Is very different now.
The invasion by Taico was q crime
committed against Corea by Japan
which Is not yet punished. Your de-
mand Is so unreasonable shat, Instead
Of Corea paying you tribute. 1t Is for
you TO return the money paid by Co
rea."
This Corean philosophic view Of the
matter was rather unexpected, and
looked upon as rather Of a cool, DELHI
crate defiance. The Coreans, however,
are In earnest, feeling that they are
now better prepared for defense than
ever before. Corea has q population
Of IL. 900. 900. an army OF $4,000 men,
aud a navy Of 200 vessels. But Japan,
with a population four tunes as large,
and an Immense. well-drilled army,
equipped with some Of the modern I'M
provements Of warfare, may well
boast Of being able to subdus her semi
barbaric adversary. Such conflict,
however. might become considerably
complicated by tho attitude Chin'
would DO obliged to assume, for Chlns
has also held 4 sort Of loos'
dominion to . certain extent oyeI
Corea, considering it in fact
portion or at least 4 tributary de-
tendency Of the Celestial Empire
Should a var really grow out Of TIT
matter, as It promises at present, the
Japanese would be able to show TO the
world their ability in bringing into
practical use the new war ships and
improved fighting appliances they have
been procuring and adopting Of late
years.

UNITED STATES MARSHALs At WORK.

The United States Marshals were busily employed
during the day in making arrests; but at the close
OF the polls but four persons remained inGnrance
vile the reward OF their vigilance. The Marshas
had three Offices in the cty-one at Al Chambers
street, another at the corner OF Fortynnth street
and Third avenue and the third at II University
place. From their conduct during The day IL was
evident that they acted solely with the purpose OF
intmidating voters, as men were dragged from the
polls to the Offices upon the slightest pretext to he
only instantly released. As the hour for closing the
polls drew near the exertons of the Marshals were
Increased, and numbers OF persons who were in
the act OF casting their ballots were prevented
from doing so, and lost them, being delayed after
the closing OF the polls The principal charges
which arrests were made were illegal registration
and lack OF voting papers, but in all instances
four the charges were found TO be rumped up.
The men who were held are Timothy McGrath who
was arrested in the Fourteenth Assembly district
on a warrant issued by Commissioner Davenport,
charged with false registration. He held In
$1,000 bail. John Meaghan, Of the Ninth Assembly
district was arrested on like charge, and, In
default OF bail, was sent to prison. Patrick Mccall
was arrested in u downtown ward for illegal
voting, and held. The only other arrest made was
that OF Patrick Kearney, deputy marshal, who was
arrested ior drunkenness.
