IT is now about six months since
Harriet Beecher Stowe was taken
as Il dying invalid from Sag Harbor
to Hartford. Only the care of her
physician and the attentive nursing
of her children brought her through
the illness. But Mrs. Stowe finally
recovered of her ailments and is
seemingly now in rs good health as
she has been ever of late years, The
true mental condition of Mrs. Stowe,
although wcll-knoWn i'm Hartford,
Is seldom alluded to. It's, however,
Il fact that Mrs. Stoves mind is
shattered ANA she is mt best, intel
lcctually, now but mere child, Her
friends will not say she is insane,
nor that she is an mbecile, but her
mind is almost completely gone
Her memory is that of baby.
When former dear friends visit her,
people whom she has known for
years, she greets themwith vacant
stare, SO indicative a symptom in
cases of that kind, Mrs. Stoves
relatives view all this with feeling
of dismay, but they have become
reconciled to the change, and her
whims are treated with the utmost
tenderness. For some time 1t was
given out that Mrs. stowe did not
recognize her friends because of
falling eyesight, but this excuse is
no longer alluded to, and the fact
that she Is now no longer mentally
capable is recognized 10y every one.
1t was also for II long time thought
to be an attribute of genius when
Mrs. stowe showed these idosyn-
crasies, but the genius which made
"Uncle Toms Cabin" has departed,
The father of Mrs. stowe, Rev.
Lyman Beecher passed the closing
years of his life with a cloud resting
over his mind. His symptoms were
greatly similar to those which now
affect Mrs, Stowe,

HARRIsnN.s FORESIGHT.

HAltBISON'S FORESIGHT.
Regarding President Harrison's
diplomatic appointments Henri
Waterson says: "There is no de-
nying that the administration is
getting in some very astute political
and party work in its appointments
to Office. With the exceptions of
Wanamaker and Tanner, Mr.. Har-
rison, whilst selecting active and
orthodox republicans of the pro-
nounced description, has shocked
no popular or moral sensibility, but
has rather impressed the country
with the idea that he is clear
headed, well intentioned man, work
ing for the best with great intelli-
gence within his own party lines.
"The batch of diplomatic nomina-
tions sent to the senate completes the
list Of foreign places Of importance
to be filled, and although containing
some surprises, it will on the whole
give pretty general satisfaction.
The nomination of Robert Lincoln
as minister to England is at once a
surprise and ten strike. Taken in
connection with the selection Of
Fred Grant for Vienna, it conveys
an appeal to the young republican
ism of the period which cannot fail
to have its effect. Both of these
sons Of illustrious sires are American
gentlemen without reproach, and
are fully qualified personally and
officially to represent the country
handsomely and adequately i'm the
old world.

the party to the front and stimula-
ting that important branch Of the
party service the president shows
both wisdom and sagacity. No bet
ter minister to France could have
been found in any walk of life than
Whiteaw Reid and no filter consul
general to London than John G.
New. Now we have Murat Halls
stead to Germany and ThOrndyke
Rice to Russia. Mr.. Rice IS the edi-
tor of the North American Review,
Il man Of many accomplishments
and of large fortune whose
knowledge of European life and af-
fairs is very great and has not been
obtained 10y the sarafice Of his Amer
iCanism.
"The selection of Mr.. Halstead
for Berlin is II particularly happy
one. He is already well known to
the Germans. In the Franco-Ger-
man war he was the companion and
guest of Won Moltlle, met the great
chancellor familiarly and often, and
will be no stranger to the court to
which he is accredited. He is per-
sonally both IA handsome and bril-
liant man, and will appear nowhere
without distinction.

all i'm the same line, particularly
that of Patric Egan, which ut this

THE ownership of the tide fiat

begun to assume iteresting proper

doubt rs to whether the new state of
