Mr. G. E. Reynolds, Of this city, whose father,

acter of Simmons in Uncle Toms Cabin"
The Reynolds family at that time lived at Wal
| nut Hills near Cincinnati, which was then the
home of Mrs Stowe, and the two families were
acquainted, the Misses Reynolds having been
pupils of the distinguished authorers Much Of the
| senior Reynoldss life was spent in helping on
the Abolition cause and in aiding slaves toeseape.
| To secure if possible, q confirmation of the
| belief that he was the Simmons referred to,
his son, some weeks ago. wrote to Mrs Stowe,
giving her incidents in his fathers life and
making the proper inquiries. To these the fol
| lowing answer was received:

selves that the great evil that and struggled
with many years has passed away, HE Christi
shall not fail be discouraged till He has set judg
ment in the earth If we wait shall see this more
and more. Yours truly, II. B. STOWE.
The extract from Mr. Stoves letter referred
to is as follows; Coming out Of town with the
Governor nice old Quaker gentleman asked
me to ride So we got in. and as was talking,
he caught the words: Gov. Slade, andimme-
diately said, What, is this Gov. Slade that
have heard so much Off I presume So said /,
There is no other He raised his head with
great earnestness saying, God bless thee; I am
rejoiced to see thee Who are youF said /.

lighted. He was taken to the nice, little white
