I3arriet Beecher Stowe I'aSSes Away. klarriet Beecher Stowe, the famous authoress, is dead, She bod been suffer- ing from congestion of the brain and paralysis, and had been un000001ous for some time. She passed peacefully away on July 1st, at Hartford, Conn„ sur- rounded by the members of her family. Harriet Beecher Stowe was the third daughter and sixth child of Rev. Lyman and Rosanna Foote Beecher, of Litch- field, Conn. She was about 4 years old when her mother died. That chs was NO 001INA12 011110 was evident enough at an early age. Fancy a girl of 9, unable to spell eorrect- ly, or to do more than printber sentences, banding in to her teacher a composition with such a title as "The difference be- tween the natural and the moral sob - lime," and of arguing (at the age of 12) at a school exhibition the negative (or any other) side of the amazing question, "Can the immortality of the soul be proved by the light of nature ?" Shortly after her 12th birthday she was sent to Hartford, where she remained for some years, first as pupil and afterwards as associate teacher in the school which bad been established in that pity by her elder sister, Catherine Beecher. minus= mann BEOn2. In 1882 Mr. Beecher removed from Litchfield to Cincinnati, and a little later on Catherine and Harriet followed and established their school in that oily. Aire. Stowe's literary career may be said to have had its .beginning in the Semi- colon Club, some of her best papers which she read before 11 (notably her "Uncle Tim") appearing a little later on in the Western Monthly Magazine and in the Mayflower. Afterward she beoame an occasional contributor to the National Era and Godey's Magazine, and sub- sequently contributed, with more or less regularity, to the Atiantio and other periodicals of prominence, In 1836 she married Prof. Calvin E. Stowe, of Lane Theological Seminary. "112081 Totes CABIN." "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was printed in the National Era, the publication be- ginning in the Summer of 1851 and eon - eluding in March, 1852. It is said that when Mrs. Stowe proposed the publi- cation of "Uncle Tom" in book form, the Arm receiving the offer "declined with thanks." The proposal was subsequent. ly accepted by another publisher, who, within a few months after putting it up- on the market, was able to place at Airs. Stowe's disposal, as the first instalment of her share of the proceeds, the sum of 510,000. "Vlore money," said Prof. Stowe, "than I had ever seen in my life," and a sum immeasurably beyond Mrs. Stowe's wildest hopes. "Unole Tom's Cabin" was translated into every European language, and also into Arabia and Armenian, and one im• mens bookcase in the British Museum is filled with its different translations and editions. Within six months after its publication in America 150,000 copies had been Bold, and 240,000 copies were sold in London in one month. "Dred," "The Minister's Wooing," "Agnes of Sorrento," "The Pearl of Orr's Island," "Old Town Folks," and other works followed "Uncle `T'om's Cabin" in leisurely succession, and her literary reputation was fully and firmly establish. ed both at home and abroad. In 1852 Mrs. Stowe, aoeompani0(1 by her husband, made bar first .visit to the old world, and this delightful experience was supplemented by two subsequent visits. Each time she was welcomed with unbounded enthusiasm, and reeoiv- ed such private hospitality and public demonstrations of respect and admire• Mon as ore rarely accorded to royalty itself. Daring these foreign visits she made many warm personal friends, among whom were George Eliot, Mrs. Gasket, Lady Byron, the Duchess of Sutherland, Lord Palmerston and others whose names and fame aro equally well known.

In 1864 Prof. and Mrs. Stowe removed from Andover, Ivlalts., where Prof. Stowe had for several years occupied the chair of sacred literature in the famous theo. logical seminary, and made for them. selves a home in Hartford, Conn. There lived many of furs. Stowe's kindred and friends, and there, too, clnslerod many dear associations of her early yontb. And so there was no sense of newness or strangeness in this home.00miog to Hart- ford. 01d friends weleomed here, hearts and bootee were eagerly thrown open to this woman of penins, and there, for 24 years, in joy and in sorrow, in sickness and In health, and in the loneliness of her widowhood, she received in full measure the love and affeoticn0te regard and the sincere admiration of her fellow -towns. people. • The members of the U.

Indeed they will agitate the mat- ter until 11 beeomee a foot. At present the election for member to the Dominion Parliament is oaueing quite a stir. The election is to take plaoe on Juno 22nd. Alberta will be divided into 74 pelting divisions, and it will be the first election that the new ballot boxes and papers will be used in the North-west. Calgary is divided into three sub -divisions, east, west and south, and nominations were held in the City Hall on lune 10th. Baoh year proves it an undoubted foot that Alberta will., in the near future, be- come a rich manufacturing province, he• ing underlaid in almost every part with either anthracite 00 soft coals, including steam coal and domeotio coal, all of the beat qualities known in any part of the world. Only two companies are working these mines to an appreciable extent, It has been shown by recent discoveries that Alberta has not only as muoh and as good 0001 as England and Pennsylvania, but it has, in addition, the same coarse metals which those countries have. Not only is it riot'in iron, lend, ooppsr, limestone and freestone, but it has been proved rioh in gold and silver quartz in the mountains overhanging the prairies, while gold is found in the beds of many of the streams. It only needs to be hauled from the rooks, thence by the C. P. R. to Calgary to be reduced and relined. Very recent tests have been made at Ottawa. and St. Johns, Quebec Proviooe, of a number of samples of Alberta olay, proving ib to be most val- uable and varied in character. The tests have been shown that this red terra ootM in Gannets and rich color is superior to any found anywhere in the United Sbates. It can be burned and moulded in any shape for trimmings of stone or. brink buildings. A white freestone is also found in the Calgary quarries as well as a specimen of grey ware suitable for tea pots and other articles made of stoneware.. And with all this wealth lying at our doors all the play used in the stoneware factories of Ontario and Quebec is all im• ported. Sewer pipes are imported to Calgary from St. Louis, Mo., at great cost, while the clay from which they are made is inferior in quality to the Alberta product. Prof. Dawson after examine• tion of the Alberta fine clay, pronounced it to be the only Soo clay known t0 the Geologioal department to exist in Canada, except in Source, Manitoba. To be sure this is a young country and money and time is needed to open up its vast resources. There is plenty of room on these broad prairies for the surplus population of other countries, but doubt- less many come thither who bave left their country for their country's good, and are nota benefit but a drawback to a new country. For energotio, active peo- ple, who will stink at nothing but go ahead bravely in the face of difficulties, this North-west is the country in which they may better their fortunes without doubt. Then they may exclaim with a light heart, "veal, vidi, vi0i," "I came, I saw,I conquered," F2A20Ee E. STEELE. Calgary, Alberta, Jane 20, 1896. Goder•icitt.

McLeod, Goderioh Dear Sir, -It is only right and propel that I should acknowledge in writing my wife's cure affected through you. When. I first wrote to you explaiuing the nature of the case and for information regarding treatment, I was in a poor frame of mind She had then been ailing fol several years, but she was getting gradually weaker ; during the last two years she gob worse and she doctored steady all the time. She consulted all our local physi- cians, took their medicines, but they did not do her any good. At the time I wrote to you she was the mother of two child- ren, both healthy, strongand robust. The yonngeet was ;eighteen months old then. I consulted some epsoialists from other parts, not one of them could do her any good, not even relieve her. They told me that she could not be cured. I could feel with my own hand the growth at the side of the stomaoh, also the beat- ing there, and I knew it should not be there. I did not wish her to koow all they told me, but at last I had to, and they told herself that she had aneurism of the aorta and that she could not bo cured. In this world there was no core for her. I was told she might drop off any moment, In her condition then she grieved, and became demented and ner- vous. I did not wonder at this, but to me the outlook was gloomy. Nothing ever cheered me more than your answer 00 the first of September, 1892, You said doctors differ and make mistaltes as well as other folks. They did not know all, and not to be alarmed, I went with her to Goderioh on the 18th of September, 1892, she left home with a sad heart, parting with her children, as she believed, for ever, but I had faith in you, even if the case was a hopeless one. She knew it to be that and lost all hope of return- ing home cured or well. You told her at onoe that her case was critical enough, but yon thought she could be cured all right. You made and fitted a white flan- nel waist to oover the growth that was right underneath the breast bone and the left ribs on the upper left side of the stomach. The pulsation was strong at times. This annoyed her very much. She began taking your System Renovator there and then, gradually increasing the doses. Continued it for two weeks that way, appliedB.A. MoLennan's Liniment underneath the bandage three or four times a day, this was oontinued for 25 days. It was after the 10th day that she herself became sensible of the improve- ment, and on the 81st of September, the same month in which we left home, I brought her back via Toronto, cured and in perfect health, perfectly sound in every respect, and I was the happiest man in Canada. She is tall as you know, weigh- ed about 140 pounds when in Goderioh, now ebe weighs over 200. She was never as well as she has been since Doming back, We bad an addition to the family since then, a bright, healthy little girl. As I said before, if there is a blessing in anything on earth, it is your medicines. All the neighbors palled and congratulat- ed het ou her recovery. I can never thank you as I would like to, but you have our good and best wishes. I am quite well again myself. Long life to you. Yours, I(ENNETE 1i1o8.11I80,, Sold by Jas, Vex, Druggist, Brussels.
