Harriet Beecher Stowe Has Now
Reached This Age.
Der Uncle Toms Cabin" Did More for
the Freeing of the slave Than Any
Other Single Agency-ChaFacters
In the Great Story.

It reads almost like some chapter Of
forgotten history-the story of Harriet
Beecher Stowe, who did more to free
the slaves than any other one of the
half-dozen causes. It may not be gen.
| orally known that ''Uncle Toms Cabin
| was written when Mrs. Stowe was a
| resident of Walnut Hills, suburb of
Cincinnati, and her husband, Prof. Cal
win Stowe, was connected with Lane
theological seminary. That was be-
fore the war, when Cincinnati, in
slavery days, was an important station
on the underground railroad" The
Ohio river was easily crossed at this
point, and numerous runaways made
their way over from Kentucky and
were met in Cincinnati by friends who
assisted them in various ways to make
good their escape.
Among those more or less active in
this movement were the Beechers, Mrs.
Stowe being a daughter of Lyman
Beecher, president of the seminary.
There she first imbibe1 her hatred of
slavery, and began work on a newspa-
per story depicting life among the
lowly, that was afterward enlarged to
''Uncle Toms Cabin" The house in
which she wrote the historic work still
stands on Walnut Hills, modest little
home, at which no passer would glance
a second time, and sn the characters
were taken from the experience of Mrs.
Stowe, who saw much of the evils Of
slavery At that tisne.. The eliza"
house that gave refuge to the escaped
slave girl who afterwards figured in
the story as Eliza, stands upon hill
near the village of Glendale, the Van
Tromp Of the narrative being John Van
Zandt, q member Of the Society of
Friends, who settled on a farm and
made 1t an underground station. The
Eliza was Eliza Harris, Kentucky
slave. owned by a man near Ripley. O.,
but on the slavery side of the river.
She ran away from her master with her
child, as told in the story, crossing the
river on the ice, and afterward shell
tered in the house of Rev. John Rankin,
whose family still lives in Ripley.
