"Uncle Toms Cabin was given
to the public at a time when all civi
lized humanity were hesitating be.
tween their prejudices and their es-
tabIished modes of though and the
growing conviction felt IN their in
nermost heart that slavery was all
wrong. One result was the testi
mony of many colored persons and
fugitive slaves who said to Mrs.
Stowe, "since that book has come out
everybody is good to u.s." We find
friends everywhere" "It's wonder.
ful how kind everybody is"
In England many demonstration
were made by anti-slavery societies,
many addresses were presented the
author, and even when the civil war

go to crush the oppressed III Ameri-
ca, although this war brought hard.
ship to their very door.
Among the noble ladies Of Eng
land the book had many fervent adj
mirers. 1t is a significant fact
that the queen of England, in con.
currence with Prince Albert,
steadily resisted every attempt to
enlist the war like power CT England
against the Northern States. In
fact the appearance of this work
developed the latent sentiment
against slavery, and was Il potent

The art Of newspaper writing is tel
ling q thing cltarly and entertainingly
says the Missouri Editor. 1t is not &C
much the thing as the way it is told.
The dullest Of subjects can be made
attractive and the most exciting can
appear insipid. 1t depends upon the
narration. Newspaper writing must
be clear - water, it must be catchy
and interesting. Short sentences,
pithy, pungent and racy, The ideas
must be conveyed wildly. The es.
sayest or the novelist can never be an
editor. The styles are wholly differ
ent. The best school for newsps per
writing is the experience and atmos
phere OF newspaper work. 1t must
be rapid, scintillating, and to tn.
point. A thing must be told just a,
It happened. Any attempt at roman
cling or fine writing spoilsit. A news
paper report should possess the spar
kle and oirectness of an animate.
conversation, sufficiently clear ant
plain to be Ineligible to every mind
but just flushed and forceful enough
not to be commonplace. Whether !
b news item or editorial, il shout,
alsays Be Interesting. q
