DEATH OF MRS. BEECHER STOWE.

Mrs. HAriet Beecher Stowe, we'll known
as the authoress of Uncle Toms Cabin
died last week at Hartford, Connecticut, u.
S.A. Notwithstanding that she had reached
the advanced age OF 81, the distinguished
authoress had enjoyed fairly good health until
Friday last, when she Wasseized with oOnges-
ton Of the brain and paralysis. Her condi.
ton gradually became wore, on Tuesday she
had lapsed into unConsciousness and at noon
that day the end came. 1t was in 1850 that
Mrs. harriet Beecher Stowe succeeded in
inducing the editor of a small AboIitiOnist
paper at Washington to accept a small serial
story from her pen which was to attack and
expose the horrors Of slavery. 1t was pub
Iished week by week, and possibly was read
10y the subscribers to the paper; nobody else
seems to have known about 1t, much less read
1t. When It's serial publication was conclud-
ed 1t passed out of sight. There were no
upon it. Nearly two years elapsed
before she could find q publisher willing to
reprint It III book tolm. At last she did per-
Nuade a speculative printer to take the ven
lure. Nlthln a month he found tnat he had
taken a gold mine. The neglected serial
proved to be the most popular book of the
c~sntury-"Uncle Toms Cabin" In 1853, at
Edinburgh, the National Penny Anti. Slavery
Offering" was presented TO Ms. Stowe, con
slstlng OF 1000 sovereigns on a magnificent
SILVER salver.-Spectdtor.
