~Uncle Toms Cabin, and the south.

"Uncle Toms Cabin" and the south.
Possibly the most general conception
Of the old life at the south held by the
rest of the country is that drawn from
"Uncle Toms Cabin" a work which,
whatever its truth In detail-and there
was doubtless much truth-yet by rea-
son Of its omissions and its grouping
contained even more untruth as a cor
rect picture of civilization, says
Thomas Nelson Page in The Atlantic.
AS an argument against the evils in
herent in slavery 1t was unanswerable;
as presentation of the life 1t under
took to mirror 1t was rather piece of
emotional fiction. infused with the spir-
1t Of an able and sincere but only par
TALLY Informed partisan, than correct
reflection. 1t served a purpose far be-
yond the dream and possibly even the
intention Of its author. 1t did much to
hasten the overthrow of slavery. 1t
did no less to stain the reputation Of
the south and obscure what was
worthy and fine In its life. From that
time the people Of the south were re-
garded, outside its own border, much
as, shall we say, China Is regarded to-
day-as one Of the effete peoples, as an
obstacle in the path of advance and
possibly among many as an object OF
righteous spoil.

men with the books. He had seen
slavery days. And this is what he said
TO question asked him: What Is meant
by the General Assembly," queried the
registrar.
The old man ran one hand through his
hair, and then looked at the ceiling Sud
denly he was seen to jump, and start
as though bee had stung him. NO
bee was near, so the start was accounted
for by the suddenness Of the answer
when 1t reached the old mans cocoa

And what is the jury supposed to do!
further questioned the registrar.

in 1883, 4,734 cases have been treated. OF
these ooo44S have been discharged, 1,49l
have died. leaving LOCO in the hospital
1856 men and 5l4 women.

ing the past year, four were returned

eases Of the brain, 10 to epilepsy, 43 to
physical Ill health, q to dissipation and
immoral habits, % to heredity, % to men
tai worry and anxiety, IS to religious eS-
element, 16 to various other causes ana
p to causes not ascertained.
The census Of 1900 shows the negro
population to be geo, 722 The number
Of insane negroes in the State Is 1,Ooo,
so that the proportion of insane negroes
to the general negro population is to
$50.

q are convalescert; - have improved:
so are improving; 4 were discharged as
not being insane, leaving the number

in six months after coming to the hos
pital, 81 per cent. within twelve months.
four patients recovered after being under

tuberculosis. In sixty-one cases, of 81
per cent. Recovered before the age OF
