HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.
The Famous Author of Cocle Tom's
Cabin" Fontued of 6lDg;ular
DelualoDs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe's health has
become alarmingly bad, and this de
cline is accompanied by mental eccen
tricity. Always original and charac
teristic, she has now become so pecul
iar that her relatives deem it best to
keep ber in retirement for a while.
That she will recover from her physical
illness is not deemed likely, but an
immediate denrse is not looked for,
and her physician says that her malady
is not necessarily fatal The decrepi
tude of old age has come upon her.
She is almost 76 years old. Until a few
years ago she retained her mental
power to a surprising degree, but lat
terly it has declined, and now she is
little like ber former self.
An overestimate of her famous book,
"Uncle Tom's Cabin." has grown upon
her until it is a hallucination. Her
story was so great a success, and it
was so potent politically, that it would
have been affectation in her to conceal
her prido in it. Tho constant and
quite extensive sale that the book still
enjoys could not but convinco her that
its hold upon tho regard of her coun
trymen was not much relaxed. Besides,
although she never witnessed a per
formance of a dramatic version of
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" bIio was mada
aware by tho newspapers that she fre
quently saw as she went about, that tho
characters of her creation still had
moving qualities with tho people. It
is only latterly that her ideas on tho
subject have become irrational.
At present she is undoubtedly poss
essed by delusions. She thinks that
"Undo Tom's Cabin" was as much
a divinely inspired work as tho Bible
that sho was merely a medium
through which God expressed his con
demnation of human slavery. There
is modesty and not solf-glorification in
the old lady's theory on that point.
Sho argues that, unaidod, sho would
have been quite incapable of writing
tho story. Jn support of this asser
tion sho cites the fact that, although
sho turned out other books, they mado
nothing liko tho same success. Indeed,
sho will often challongo a visitor to re
call even by namo any other work
of hers than "Undo Tom's Cabin."
So strenuous did slio at length hocotuo
in this matter that strangers and even
acquaintances took umbrage at it, and
at length tho family strovo to protect
her from all intrusions. Tourists who
went through Hartford were in tho
habit of stopping over for tho express
purpose of seeing her. That had to bo
stopped as early as last fall, and siuco
then sho has been all but inaccessible
except to her intimates.
Mrs. Stowo has estato enough to
support her comfortably. Had sho
foreseen the onorraous popularity of
hor book she might havo boon tho
richest of American authors; but sho
sold tho copyright for a prlco that
yielded to her only a very small por
centago of tho profits. Nor did she
havo tho forethought to rcsorvo tho
right of dramatization, as is done now
with all novols, and therefore tho pro
tracted use of hor story on tho stago
has never brought her a cent. Two
years ago tho projoct of a biography
by Mrs. Stowo was conceived by Mark
Twain, who has made a groat fortune
out of books sold through subscription
agoucics. Ho believed that a S2 vol
ume of Mrs. Stowo' s recolloctions
would find an extensive sale. Tho en
terprise progressed so far as tho con
tract under which Mrs. Stowe began
to work, but her pen had lost its cun
ning, and the littlo sho wrote proved
unsuitable for tho purpose A recent
modification of tho plan contemplated
tho composition of tho book by somo
body else, undor Mrs. Stowe's supervi
sion, and to bo issued as authenticated
by her. But she has failed so rapidly
and compleloly that she can do nothing
whatever in tho matter, arid it was not
in a shape to proceed without acortain
amount of her attention. Therefore
tbo proposed book cannot be made.

The colored race is ehsngins in ap
prarance and losing some of the birth
marks peculiar to it The new genera
tion is showing the effects of a higher
fultnre. Especially is this noticeable in
the towns, where contact with tlie whites
shows its effect. The flat nosed, kinky
headed negro is passing away and be
coming an unknown race. All the col
ored children, no matter how dusky in
hue, show the change. Longer hair,
squeline noses and smaller mouth, with
thinner hps, are the ruW.
