SPANISH SMUGGLERS.
A SUSPICIOUS CRAFT SEIZED ON
THE FLORIDA COAST.
Soon Made Prisoner by the American
Marines-Will Spain Raise a Row?

Associated Press Dispatches.
New YORK, Dec. pa dispatch to
the Times from Key West, Fla, says
The Angelita, ship flying the Spanish
fl g, has been captured off the west coast
OF Florida by the United States revenue
steamer McLane. She was found off
Sanibel Island. When an armed boats
crew, under Lieutenant Ubnoroth,
boarded her, the Spaniards were very
ugly The captain had no papers,
except bill OF provisions, purchased
on the Florida coast. This did not sat
isfy the boarding officer, who at once di-
rected search of the ship. No contra
band stuff was found, but the character
of the vessel seemed so uncertain that,
after consultation, it was decided to
seize the Angelita. A prize crew was
sent aboard, armed to the teeth, Just
as McLane's men were running the
anchor apeak. The Spanish captain
called on his men to fight. He
declared he would die before allowing
his ship to be carried off. The Span
iards were seized, placed in small boat
and sent aboard the McLane for safe
keeping. The crew were quietly ad
monlshed not to attempt anything rash
on pain OF death. The Angeita now
awaits adjudication, and will in all
probability be offered for sale in the
course of few days. The fact that she
was unprovided with a register is alone
sufficient to cause proceedings against

One Way of Calling.

Visiting cards left. New Years
calls specially. None but high toned callers fur
nished. Elegant attire and frequent changes
Address "a, - Office.
The above advertisement in one of the
Chicago dailies attracted the attention
of reporter. A correspondence was
entered into with the result of an in
terview being arranged for, the adver-
tiser being quite unaware that publicity
would be given to what was developed
The manager Of the 'social agency" for
such he called his establishment, was
found occupying an Office in one of the
tall buildings, and explained that the
general purpose of his business was the
leaving of calling cards, thereby saving
society people the trouble of doing this
work themselves Ordinarily" he said,
Il employ half a dozen carriages and an
equal number of footmen. can save q
lady the trouble of driving around and
leaving her card by doing the work for
her, and if you want anything done that
way would be pleased to serve you. My
charges are moderate"
"What do you charger"
Wy iCS'iIGti lutCn are pl pei lOo Cdi no
left, but l make reduction for heavy
business"
Chow do you manage to do the work
so cheap"
"Why, by leaving cards for large
number of ladies with one trip, where
several hundred would be required if it
were done by the ladies themselves"
what are your special features for
New Years."
THAT, of course, is our biggest day,
not only from the number of calls that
are made but because we work on New
Years in double capacity, not only de-
livering cards for those who choose to
employ us, but leaving them in the
baskets hung outside of our patrons
doors. We will have over hundred
carriages calling this New Years, and
we will have to supply them with gen.
tlemen in dress suits. We will also have
a number of callers ON foot, at half rates,
as some prefer these"
"What is the advantage of all this?'
"Why, it gives prestige to the ladies
called upon. If they can seem to receive
so many calls, although not entertaining,
they must be considered very desirable
people to know. Seer'-Chicago Herald

PARIS, Dec. N.-Dr. Pean, in a lee
ture today at a hospital on the result of
the Koch cure upon diseases of the
throat, testified to marked improve
ments of three patients who had re-
ceived injections for affections of the
larynx. 1t was, therefore, he said ,
clearly a remedy in effecting cures,
although up to the present time it could
not be claimed that any permanent cures
had been effected. His statement made
profound impression on the large
audience of medical men present.
Notwithstanding the protests of the
ministry against augmentation of the
tariffs on the basis proposed in the gov
ernment bill, the tariff committee con-
tinued until adjournment to raise the
tariffs to a prohibitive pitch. The rep
resentatives of'the agricultural element
say they will support prohibitive duties
on manufactures, in expectation that in
return they will obtain closed market
for farm products. They will wreck the
bill unless their demands are conceded.

dents of the story were to cluster and
from which it was to be unfolded. The
escaped woman became Eliza Harris.
George Harris was drawn from Lewis G.
Clark, an escaped slave. Mrs. Stowe met
him and used to keep him for hours in her
sitting room questioning him about his es-
cape and his life in slavery. The slave in
Kentucky, to whom Mrs. Stowe had
written letters for her servant, and whose
sense of honor would not permit him to
break his parole, became Uncle Tom. In
deed the main dramatic incidents of the
book are but the recital of real occur
rences to real people.
After writing a few chapters Mrs.
Stowe wrote DR.. Bailey, of The National
Era, that she was planning story
which might be utilized through several
numbers of The Era. In reply she re-
ceived an application for it, and though
in the midst of domestic duties, began to
send off installments. "Uncle Toms
Cabin" had been begun both in the writ
ing and the publication.
From June, 1851, to April, 1852, the
tale was being published in The Era. 1t
did not attract much attention in this
form, but this may have been on account
of the limited circulation of The Era.
Mrs. Stowe afterwards wrote: "It seemed
to me that there was no hope; that no
body would hear; that nobody would
read; nobody would pity; that this fright
full system which had pursued its vic
TINS into the free states might at last
threaten them in Canada"
At last the serial was finished, and
Mrs. Stowe was the proud possessor of
$500 she had received for writing it.
Mr.. John =. Jewett, Boston publisher,
had noticed it, and offered to publish it.
He proposed to pay half share in the
profits if the author would share in the
expense of. publication, but Professor
Stowe regarded this too much of haz-
ard for people so poor, and q royalty of
10 per cent. was accepted instead.
The result was great and agreeable
disappointment to the author. Ten thou
sand copies were sold in few days; and
within the first year the number dis
posed of had reached 300, 900. This, with
the additional sale of 1000 copies in
the next four years, swelled the aggre-
gate to 100000 copies in five years. No
other work of fiction had ever met with
such success in the United States. Be
sides the sale in America, it was trans
lated into many foreign languages and
had an immense sale abroad.
"Uncle Toms Cabin" produced a pro-
found impression among the anti-slavery
classes abroad. An address was sent
from the women of England to the wom-
ON of America in care of Mrs. Stowe, and
signed by 562, 44S women. 1t is in twen-

fused to break his pledge not to do so.
The high sense of honor of this black
produced deep impression on Mrs.
Stowe and he was destined TO become a
model for central figure impersonating
the wrongs of his race.
1t was Mrs. Stoves fate TO marry a
man who was n profound scholar, but
somewhat neglectful of material things.
She was consequently fmpelled TO help to
feed and clothe her children. This she did
byopening a school in connection with her
sister Catherine and by contributing ar
ticles to various newspapers and periodi-
Gals. In her school she admitted colored
children. One day one of her pupils,
little girl who had never been made free,
was pounced upon and carried across
the Ohio river. The incident was shock
ing to the tender nature of Mrs. Stowe.
She set about raising the means to buy
the child's liberty, and after time had
the satisfaction of setting her free.
In 1850 Professor Stowe removed with
his family to Brunswick, Me-, where he
had been called to chair in Bowdoip
college. Here, surrounded by the same
intellectual influences as i'm Ohio, but
farther from the excitement of the bor-
der, Mrs. Stowe began the story which
was to make her famous.
The fugitive slave law had just been
passed. BY its provisions slave holder
was not only permitted to hunt his es-
capped slaves in free territory, but every
citizen called on was obliged to join in the
chase and help catch the fugitive. By one
act of congress the people of the whole
northern states were virtually constituted
slave catchers, to be called on when &C.
casion required. In the discussions which
sprung from the obnoxious act, Mrs.
Stowe found lamentable ignorance and
indifference on the part of many of her
friends as to the workings of the slave
system. Men were stung to the quick
at the idea of being personally made
slave catchers, but the interference with
slavery in those states where it existed
was quite another thing.
During this agitation Mrs. Stowe re-
ceived n letter from the wife of her
brother Edward which contained this
sentence: Now, Hattie, if / could WELD
o pen as you can would write some
thing that would make this whole nation
feel what an accused thing slavery is.
Rising from her chair, after reading the
passage aloud to others, Mrs. Stowe ex-
claimed; Il will write something. will
if live"
One day Mrs. Stowe was looking over
bound volume of an anti-slavery maya
zine, edited by Mrs. DIR. Bailey, of WASH
ington, and saw an account of the escape
of a slave woman with her child on the
ice of the Ohio river from Kentucky.
This incident, so dramatic, SO eminent
ly fitted to attract the sympathy of
reader, and narrated by a person who
saw the feat accomplished and helped the
woman to the shore, became a GEN.
