A New Theory About Tobacco.
D. V. Davis, of Fort Church
Dayie county, has discovered a
new theory about tobacco. He
says in the Davie Zimes the fol-"
lowing: oTwenty-two years ugo
i discovered that there was a
certain time to cut tobacco. But
to find the exact time 1t has taken
twenty-two years. There is a sap
in tobacco as in a tree. When the
sap raises in tobacco itrans the
oil out and is very sorry. When
the sap is out of tobacco there is
nothing inthe plant but oil, it
seems to be fat,if then cat, would
be very profitable. Tobacco con-
tinues to make theee changes as
long as it stands on the hill. You
have experienced cutting one
week when it may cure up all
right and then cut off the same
piece of iand the next and it cures
up sorry.�"Wiuston Republican:
A Good Shot.
Master Hal Sugg, 13 year old
son of Col. I. A. Sugg, is the
champion rifle shot of his age. He
is not only guod at shooting zlass
balls, but he can bring down game
as well. Friday morning Mr. A. A.
ForbesT dogs treed five coons. He
went to Col. SugeTs house to get
the Colonel to go down with his
Winchester and kill them. The
Colonel was not at home, but Hal
remarked that he could do the
job better than his papa. So he
took the Winchester and went
Yidown and killed three of the
coons, the dogs catching the oth-
ertwo. One of the coons was
killed without being struck with
the bullet, by a fancy shot which
Hal, calls obarking the coon.�

UNCLE TOMS CABIN.
How Mrs. Stowe Got Her Original
Characters.
The AuthorTs Connection with the Famous
oUnderground Railway�T"The Story of
Eliza Harris"Other Figures
im the 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 or half dozen causes. It
may not be generally known that
~~Uncle TomTs Cabin� was written
when Mrs. Stowe was a resident of
Walnut Hills, a suburb of Cincin-
nati, and her husband, Prof. Calvin
Stowe, was connected with Lane
Theological seminary. That was be-
fore the war, when Cincinnati, in
slavery days, was an important sta-
tion on the ~~undergrounda railroad.�
The Ohio river was easily crossed at
this point, and numerous runawavs
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 imbibed
her hatred of slavery, and began
work on @ newspaper story depict-
ing life among the lowly, that was
afterward enlarged to ~~Uncle TomTs
Cabin.T�T The house in which she
wrote the historic work still stands
on Walnut Hills, a modest little
home, at which no passer would
glance @ second time, and all the
characters were taken from the ex-
perience of Mrs. Stowe, who saw
much of the evils of slavery at that
time. The ~~ElizaTT house that gave
refuge to the escaped slave girl who
afterward 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, a member of the Society of
Friends, who settled on the farm
and made it an underground station.
The Eliza was Eliza Harris, a Ken-,
tucky slave, owned by a man near
Ripley, O., but on the slavery side
of the river. Sheran away from her
master with her child, as told in the
story, crossing the river on the ice,
and afterward sheltered in the house
of Rev. John Rankin, whose fanily
still lives in Ripley.
Another young girl who gave much
to the construction of the character
of Eliza was a seamstress in the em-
ploy of Mrs. Stowe. She came from
Kentucky with the consent of her
mistress, her brother being held as
a hostage for her return. The oc-
currences were not frequent, as the
Kentuckians were very lenient with
their slaves and often indulged them
in trips across the Ohio to free soil. -
The girl was legally free by her pres-
*
enéé in OMo by consent of her mis-
tress. Shortly after her~arrival the
brother escaped, and she resolved
not to return. In this she was en-
couraged by her friends, and also
by Mrs. Stowe, in whose_ family she
bad found employment. ~~Free pa-
pers� were obtained for her to make
her condition doubly legal. There
were many people in Cincinnati,
the slaveholders by kidnaping fugi-
tives, and when Prof. Stowe learned
that the former master of Eiiza was
in the city, and a friend told him
there was a 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 a horse
and wagon, accompanied by Henry
Ward Beecher, he drove the girl ten
miles along a lonely road and over
a dangerously-flooded ford, to_ the
house of John Van Zandt. The fire-
place is still shown where Eliza is
said to have been confined during
one of the visits of the slave hutiters
to the place in their pursuit.
Another character in the story is
Richard Hillingham, a young Quaker
from Morrow, Q., who came to Cin-
cinnati to teach the negroes, and
whose enthusiasm led him to Nash-
ville in behalf of a 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 experi-
evces of George-Harris. He crossed
the Ohio at Ripley, and had refuge
for several days with the Rankins.
He was afterwards conducted north
into Clinton county, where he found
safety and a home for years among
the Quakers of that part of the state.
Ason of Rev. John Rankin, William
Rankin, was HarrisT guide, and tells
with relish the incidents of the
escapes of Harris and Eliza.
Such are some of the scenes and
incidents and people upon which was
founded the story of ~~Uncle TomTs
Cabin,� a 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 recently. -"- Ohio
State Journal.
A Missing Vase.
It turns out that the Peachblow
vase is not in the art collection of
the late Mr. Walters, of Baltimore,
in whose possession it had been sup-
posed to be. This famous little jug,
which was intrinsically worth about
two cents and which was sold
at auction at the M sale
about eight years age for $18,-.
000, has disappeared from view as
completely as if it had been burfed
in the earth. It looks very much as
if the purchaser, whoever he was,
was not proud of his judgment or of
his investment."Boston Herald. "
