Itmay not be generally known that~~Uncle TomTs Cabin� was writtenwhen Mrs. Stowe was a resident ofWalnut Hills, a suburb of Cincin-nati, and her husband, Prof. CalvinStowe, was connected with LaneTheological seminary. That was be-fore the war, when Cincinnati, inslavery days, was an important sta-tion on the ~~undergrounda railroad.�The Ohio river was easily crossed atthis point, and numerous runawavsmade their way over from Kentuckyand were met in Cincinnati byfriends who assisted them in variousways to make good their escape.Among those more or less activein this movement were the Beechers,Mrs. Stowe being a daughter ofLyman Beecher, president of theseminary. There she first imbibedher hatred of slavery, and beganwork on @ newspaper story depict-ing life among the lowly, that wasafterward enlarged to ~~Uncle TomTsCabin.T�T The house in which shewrote the historic work still standson Walnut Hills, a modest littlehome, at which no passer wouldglance @ second time, and all thecharacters were taken from the ex-perience of Mrs. Stowe, who sawmuch of the evils of slavery at thattime. The ~~ElizaTT house that gaverefuge to the escaped slave girl whoafterward figured in the story asEliza, stands upon a hill near thevillage of Glendale, the Van Trompof the narrative being John VanZandt, a member of the Society ofFriends, who settled on the farmand made it an underground station.The Eliza was Eliza Harris, a Ken-,tucky slave, owned by a man nearRipley, O., but on the slavery sideof the river. Sheran away from hermaster with her child, as told in thestory, crossing the river on the ice,and afterward sheltered in the houseof Rev. John Rankin, whose fanilystill lives in Ripley.Another young girl who gave muchto the construction of the characterof Eliza was a seamstress in the em-ploy of Mrs. Stowe. She came fromKentucky with the consent of hermistress, her brother being held asa hostage for her return. The oc-currences were not frequent, as theKentuckians were very lenient withtheir slaves and often indulged themin 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 thebrother escaped, and she resolvednot to return. In this she was en-couraged by her friends, and alsoby Mrs. Stowe, in whose_ family shebad found employment. ~~Free pa-pers� were obtained for her to makeher condition doubly legal. Therewere many people in Cincinnati,the slaveholders by kidnaping fugi-tives, and when Prof. Stowe learnedthat the former master of Eiiza wasin the city, and a friend told himthere was a plan to take the girl atnight, it was determined to put herin a place of safety. AccordinglyProf, Stowe performed the part ofSenator Bird. Procuring a horseand wagon, accompanied by HenryWard Beecher, he drove the girl tenmiles along a lonely road and overa dangerously-flooded ford, to_ thehouse of John Van Zandt. The fire-place is still shown where Eliza issaid to have been confined duringone of the visits of the slave hutitersto the place in their pursuit.Another character in the story isRichard Hillingham, a young Quakerfrom Morrow, Q., who came to Cin-cinnati to teach the negroes, andwhose enthusiasm led him to Nash-ville in behalf of a slave, where hewas imprisoned and died before hisrelease. So far as known, only oneof the originals of the characters ofthe story is now living, a very oldman, and whose adventures arerecorded in this story as the experi-evces of George-Harris. He crossedthe Ohio at Ripley, and had refugefor several days with the Rankins.He was afterwards conducted northinto Clinton county, where he foundsafety and a home for years amongthe Quakers of that part of the state.Ason of Rev. John Rankin, WilliamRankin, was HarrisT guide, and tellswith relish the incidents of theescapes of Harris and Eliza.Such are some of the scenes andincidents and people upon which wasfounded the story of ~~Uncle TomTsCabin,� a book which has.been readin every quarter of the globe, overwhich millions have wept, and whichbrought freedom to the captive andenduring fame to the woman whocelebrated in a quiet way her eighty-fourth birthday recently. -"- OhioState Journal.A Missing Vase.It turns out that the Peachblowvase is not in the art collection ofthe late Mr. Walters, of Baltimore,in whose possession it had been sup-posed to be. This famous little jug,which was intrinsically worth abouttwo cents and which was soldat auction at the M saleabout eight years age for $18,-.000, has disappeared from view ascompletely as if it had been burfedin the earth.
