JUST A CAMPIN'."

Asarule we have taken but little in |
terest In ser,s, stories. or ANYTHING express.
ed in the form of fiction. Life il too short |
TO indulge la aysIIy In fiction while there |
is no much solid fact to fill the storehouse
of the mird. But there are occasional ex-
ceptions to all rules, and we would offer
this Ms an apology, II an apology was
necessary, for commencing a serial story |
in this Issue OF the JOURNAL which will
run through about twenty three to twenty
Eve issues OF the paper.
Two weeks ago we received from the
publishers, Messrs. J. e. Downey a Co., Of
Chicago, u book with the above title, of
which G. C. Post, Esq., late editor Of the
Chicago Express, ia the sutl,or. The story
is copy righled, with all r,ghte reserved.
"Hut since the days that Mira Stowe wrote
tie doom Of the slave driver in Uncle
Toms Cabin" says the Chicago Inter.
Ocean, "no author has struck n more Wig.
orous blow in favor Of the rights Of the
laborer." This fact will be recognized M
the reader progresses with and completes
the story, which is based upon recognized
facts. Many of the bes, authorities in the
country recognize the appearance OF the
work at this time "a more timely than
was Uncle Toms Cabin thirty.four years
ago.
