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: “Twenty-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. Forbes’ dogs treed five coons. He went to Col. Suge’s 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 “barking the coon.” Reductions 12 Going North in a Few to select my Fall goods. wake ota Ga hen. figure and take the goods.

How Mrs. Stowe Got Her Original Characters. The Author’s Connection with the Famous “Underground Railway”’—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 Tom’s 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 Tom’s 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 @ 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 ‘‘Eliza’’ 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 Harris’ 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 Tom’s 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.
