"UHULE TOM's CABIN.r
The Original OF one OF the Characters
Tells ofIhe StOFy's Origin.

CINCINNATI, o., March 24.-Mr. George
Lewis CLARK, Of oberlin, O., the Original
George Harris" the runaway slave in
Mrs. Harriet Beechsr sIows's great novel,
Uncle Toms Cabin, delivered lecture be-
fore small audience at Allen Temple, last
night, Elder johnson presided, aud in.
troduCed the speaker in q few words.
The latter, who is about slxty-six years
years Of age, 10 well.preserved man, and
OF remarkably light color.
In opening his remarks he said that
there had been some dispute as to whether
or not he was the original Of Mrs, Stoves
celebrated character, He himself knew
that he was, and he hoped that before
leaving Cincinnati he would be able to
satisfy everyone that he spoke the truth.
The names and places given by Mira
Stowe were all fictitious. In the novel
shs had put him down as George Harris,
but his real name was George CLARK.
Just torly years ago, Mr.. CLARK said, he
was In this city, fugitive from the cruel.
ties Of slavery, and trying to make his
way to Canada. Alter an immense deal
OF trouble, and running many a
gauntlet, where danger lurked, he
succeeded In reaching Canada, where
he soon obtained employment, Al.
ter living there for some FIVE or six
years he met Mrs. Stowe, and together
with Joseph Henderson, the original
Uncle Tom, who had also succeeded In
reaching that territory, gave 10 Mrs,
Stowe the facts on which her famous
novel was founded. After this he said
that he went TO Massachusetts, and for
more than a year lived in the family oil
Gerritt Smith.
1nthe sad scenes depicted by Mrs. Stowe,
Of slave life, there were three Uncle Toms,
three George Harrises, two or three St.
Olairs aud Evas and any number Of Top.
sizes, The slave life In those days, and the
torture to which the uniortuuates were put
were 80 similar from the Ohio River to the
Gull, that the authoress did not find 1t
necessary to Con6ne herself TO one
Uncle Tom, or one George Harris, or
one Topsy. That, however, he was the
original runaway slave he could easily
prove. II had been said that the original
Uncle Tom had been whipped to death.
That was true, but when that event hap.
pened another Uncle Tom was readily
found by the authoreSs. So 1t was with
many Of the other characters mentioned
in the novel.
Mr.. CLARK then went into general out.
line Of his life as o slave, OF bis escape
from his cruel mistress, and Of his terrible
experience in reaching freedom In Gan.
ada,
His picture oil the night on which he
was torn from hiB mother and sold 10 ba
taken to distant part Of the country, was
really thrilling. He never, he said, was
sent farther south than Kentucky. That
State, while 1t was bad enough, was only
a purgatory as compared with the more
ones. The nearer the Gull you
got the nearer you were 10 hell.
