EIGHTY-FOUR YEARS OLD
Harriet Beecher Stowe Has Now
Reached This Age.
Her "UncIe Toms Cabin" Did More for
the Freeing OF the Slave Than Any
Other Single Agency-Characters
in the Great Story.

1t 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. 1t may not be gem
orally known that Uncle Toms Cabin"
was written when Mrs. Stowe was
resident of Walnut Hills, suburb of
Cincinnati, and her husband, Prof. Cal
vim 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 We're the Beechers, Mrs.
Stowe being a daughter of Lyman
Beecher, president of the seminary.
There she first imbibed 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, a modest little
home, at which no passer would glance
a second time, and all the characters
were taken from the experience of Mrs.
Stowe, who saw much of the evils of
slavery at that time. The Eliza"
house that gave refuge to the escaped
slave girl who afterwards figured in
the story as Eliza, stands upon a hill
near the village of Glendale, the Van
Tromp Of the narrative being John Van
Zandt, member of the Society of
Friends, who settled on a farm and
made it an underground station. The
Eliza was Eliza Harris, a Kentucky
slave, owned by 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.

to the construction of the character OF

MISS FRANCES E. WILLARD.

Williard's parents were among the
pioneers of the great northwest, and
brought up their daughter with very
strict, not to say narrow, views as to
the use of liquor and tobacco. Miss
Willard prepared herself for teaching,
and while pursuing her studies met a
young man who was studying for the
ministry and who gave promise of at
tanning great prominence in his chosen
calling. Their common love of study
attracted them to each other, and the
young man felt that in Miss Willard he
had found the one woman who, as his
wife, would help him upward and
would gracefully share the honors of
the lofty position at which he was
aiming. Nor was Miss Wizards heart
untouched, and the young mans
matrimonial hopes might have been
realized but for the discovery that he
was addicted to the use of tobacco, says
the New York World She very
promptly told him he could choose be-
tween tobacco and herself, and to all
his pleadings opposed the one cry:
IF you love tobacco more than you
do me find some other woman who will
tolerate such habit"
At length he ceased to urge her, and
they went their separate ways, she to
remain single and become president of
the National Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union, and one of the best
parliamentarians in the United States,
and he to marry some one else and be-
come one of the most prominent
church

STAMBUlOFF'S BRAVERY.
Courageous Daeds of the Murdered Bull
garian Statesman.

They are telling in these days many
stories about Stambuloff's personal
courage One of these relates to the
time when he was an exile in Buchar-
est. A journal of that place printed
an article in which he was loaded with
abusive epithets. 1t was also intimated
that he and certain of his compatriots
had left their country for their coun-
try's good. Personally he did not mind
this attack, but he felt that for polit-
ical reasons he must take notice of it.
To ignore it would injure the cause
for which he was fighting So he
waited upon the editor, found him
alone and demanded a retraction. The
editor promised that he should have
it, adding: Meet me tonight at -
(naming cafe in the city, and l will
show you draft of it for your APP
prevail"
When Stambuloff entered the cafe at
the hour agreed upon he found the ed
itor surrounded by dozen of his
friends-Russian braves. AS Stambu-
loft approached the group the editor
laughed in his face and babe him go to
the devil. Stambuloff quietly said; II
shall not challenge you to fight me,
for you are coward and would de-
cline. But | will force you to chal-
lenge me, or show yourself greater
coward than l suppose even Russian
can be-"
With that he forced his way through
the ring of rutfians struck the editor
three times in the open face with his
open hand, then spat upon him, turned
upon his heel and walked away The
editor did not dare to challenge, nor
did one of his friends express desire
to take up the pistol or rapier in his
behalf.
At later day he broke up a conspir-
acy against Prince Alexander by ar
resting the ringleader when nobody
else conld be intrusted with the some
what delicate task. This was a plot
headed by Maj. Panitza. Its ramifica-
tions extended, for all anybody knew,
throughout the army and the police
Even if those sent to arrest Panitza
were honest, it was known that he al
ways went armed to the teeth, and
Bulgarian police are not fond of going
on such errands Stambuloff settled
the matter by setting out to make the

HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.

Eliza was a seamstress in the employ Of
Mrs. Stowe. She came from Kentucky
with the consent of her mistress, her
brother being held as hostage for her
return. The girl was legally free by
her presence in Ohio by consent of her
mistress. Shortly after her arrival the
brother escaped and she resolved not
to return. In this she was encouraged
by her friends, and also by Mrs. Stowe,
in whose family she had found employ
ment Free papers" were obtained
for her to make her condition doubly
legal. There were many people in
Cincinnati, however, who were ready
to serve the shareholders by kidnap-
ing fugitives, and when Prof Stowe
learned that the former master CT Eliza
was in the city, and friend told him
there was plan to take the girl at
night, it was determined to put her in
a place of safety. Accordingly Prof.
Stowe performed the part of Senator
Bird. Procuring horse and wagon,
accompanied by Henry Ward Beecher,
he drove the girl ten miles along
lonely road and over dangerously
flooded ford to the house of John Van
Zandt The fireplace is still shown
where Eliza is said to have been con-
fined during one of the visits of the
slave hunters to the place in their pur-
suit.
Another character in the story is
Richard Dillingham;, a young Quaker
from Morrow, o., who came to Cincln-
natl to teach the negroes, and whose en-
thusiasm led him to Nashville in behalf
of slave, where he was imprisoned
and died before his release. So far as
known, only one of the originals of the
characters of the story is now living, a
very old man, and whose adventures
are recorded in this story as the expert
ences of George Harris. He is now liv-
ing very old man, and for years re-
sided at Oberlin, o. He crossed the
Ohio at Ripley, and had refuge for sew
eral days with the Rankins. He was
afterwards conducted north into Clin-
ton county, where he found safety and
a home for years among the Quakers of
that part of the state. A son of Rev.
John Rankin, William Rankin, was
Harris guide, and tells with relish the
incidents of the escape of Harris and
Eliza.
Such are some of the scenes and Incl
dents and people upon which was
founded the story of Uncle Toms
Cabin" book which has been read in
every quarter of the globe, over which
millions have wept, and which brought
freedom to the captive and enduring
fame to the woman who celebrated in
a quiet way her eighty-fourth birthday

Near Augusta, ILL.,, there are two Pc
culiar wells, each of which deserves
special mention. The first is bot
tomless well"-one which was sunk
down until the immense rushing, under

is well in which the water remains
frozen winter and summer. These two

be referred to as combined natural

at distance of about a mile and half

not discovered some months ago, as he
is now more than year old.
The duchess of York has not been
seen often in public recently, and those
circulating the report regarding the
prince say that her recluseness is due
to her grief. This, however, is hare
supposition.
AS yet no effort has been made to
correct the story of the princes in
trinity, although the current gossip
must have reached the ears of his
highness' parents and grandparents.

BABY PRINCE EDWARD.


A report has been circulated for sew
eral days that Prince Edward, the only
child of the duke and duchess of York
and the heir to the throne of Great
Britain, is deaf and dumb. 1t has been
impossible to ascertain the source of
the report, writes London CORE
spondent, but there is no doubt that it
is in circle fairly near the court. The
pictures of the queens great-grandson
are displayed all over London, one Of
them but few weeks old, and they all
show a clear-eyed, intelligent looking
little fellow, with plump arms and
wavy hair.
There is nothing In the expression Of
his face or in the attitude to indicate
the slightest mental defect. 1t is re-
garded as little remarkable that, in

The election is over. the die has been cast.
The smiles OF the candidates are gone with

The race Is ended. the victors have won.
While the defeated ones feel just wrotched

II is hard dear, boys, and may drive you to

But free rides come just once in four years.
Farewell to the barbecues and mutton fare

And the amiable OK around which we love
to dwell,
The hand of the candidate Wen shake no
more,
Nor enjoy their smiles as we did once be-
fore.

Without the genial candidates to treat us
to pie,
Upon whom we delight to look and admire.
Because they are the boys who carry the

And please the people as far as you can.
And remember y0ur Creator and keep His

And enter the race where I'LL may win.
