F writes to her husband in Andover as follows: Paris, November 7, 1856. My dear husband,--On thereatly. Well, I got your letter to-night in Paris, at No. 19 Rue de Clichy, where you may as well direct your future letters. We reached Paris about eleven o'clock last night and took a carria daughter about the age of our girls. Life in Paris is altogether more simple and natural than in ies and Champs Elysees, he would go wild. All Paris is a general whirligig out of doors, but indoo30. This is Sunday evening, and a Sunday in Paris always puts me in mind of your story about some of her peculiarities. I must say, life in Paris is arranged more sensibly than with us. Visitider date of January 25, Mrs. Stowe writes from Paris- Here is a story for Charley. The boys i

to Prince Albert, who made two most gracious bows to my wife and two to me, while the four royal children stared their big blue eyes almost out looking at the little authoress of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Colonel Grey handed the Queen, with my wife's compliments, a copy of the new book ( Dred ). She took one volume herself and handed the other to Prince Albert, and they were soon both very busy reading. She is a real nice little body with exceedingly pleasant, kindly manners. I expect to be in Natick the last week in September. God bless you all. C. E. Stowe. After her husband's departure for the United States, Mrs. Stowe, with her son Henry, her two eldest daughters, and her sister Mary (Mrs. Perkins), accepted the Duke of Argyll's invitation to visit the Highlands. Of this visit we catch a pleasant glimpse from a letter written to Professor Stowe during its continuance, which is as follows:-- Inverary Castle, September 6, 1856.

re, and was very flattering in his remarks on Hawthorne, Poe, and Longfellow. I find J. R. Lowell less known, however, than he deserves to be. Lord Dufferin says that his mother wrote him some verses on his coming of age, and that he built a tower for them and inscribed them on a brass plate. I recommend the example to you, Henry; make yourself the tower and your memory the brass plate. This morning came also, to call, Lady Augusta Bruce, Lord Elgin's daughter, one of the Duchess of Kent's ladies-in-waiting; a very excellent, sensible girl, who is a strong anti-slavery body. After lunch we drove over to Eton, and went in to see the provost's house. After this, as we were passing by Windsor the coachman suddenly stopped and said, The Queen is coming, my lady. We stood still and the royal cortege passed. I only saw the Queen, who bowed graciously. Lady Mary stayed at our car door till it left the station, and handed in a beautiful bouquet as we parted.

delightful days at Inverary, and were so sorry you could not be there with us. From there we went to Oban, and spent several days sight-seeing, finally reaching Inverness by way of the Caledonian Canal. Here, to our surprise, we found our rooms at the hotel all prepared for us. The next morning we left by post for Dunrobin, which is fifty-nine miles from Inverness. At the borders of the duke's estate we found a delightfully comfortable carriage awaiting us, and before we had gone much farther the postilion announced that the duchess was coming to meet us. Sure enough, as we looked up the road we saw a fine cavalcade approaching. It consisted of a splendi and the old castle. Here the duke took leave of us, and taking our own carriage we crossed the ferry and continued on our way. After a very bad night's rest at Inverness, in consequence of the town's being so full of people attending some Highland games that we could have no places at the hotel, and after a weary ride in the rain

ole it is a success, so the Times says, with much coughing, hemming, and standing first on one foot and then on the other. If the Times were sure we should beat in the next election, Dred would go up in the scale; but as long as there is that uncertainty, it has first one line of praise, and then one of blame. Henry Stowe returned to America in October to enter Dartmouth College, while the rest of the party pursued their way southward, as will be seen by the following letters:-- City of York, October 10, 1856. Dear husband,--Henry will tell you all about our journey, and at present I have but little time for details. I received your first letter with great joy, relief, and gratitude, first to God for restoring your health and strength, and then to you for so good, long, and refreshing a letter. Henry, I hope, comes home with a serious determination to do well and be a comfort. Seldom has a young man seen what he has in this journey, or made more valuable friends. Sinc

we are to leave here early to-morrow morning. We are going to Staffa, Iona, the Pass of Glencoe, and finally through the Caledonian Canal up to Dunrobin Castle, where a large party of all sorts of interesting people are gathered around the Duchess of Sutherland. Affectionately yours, Harriet. From Dunrobin Castle one of his daughters writes to Professor Stowe: We spent five most delightful days at Inverary, and were so sorry you could not be there with us. From there we went to Oban, and spent several days sight-seeing, finally reaching Inverness by way of the Caledonian Canal. Here, to our surprise, we found our rooms at the hotel all prepared for us.

ry was invited to the tenants' dinner, where he excited much amusement by pledging every toast in fair water, as he has done invariably on all occasions since he has been here. The duchess, last night, showed me her copy of Dred, in which she has marked what most struck or pleased her. I begged it, and am going to send it to you. She said to me this morning at breakfast, The Queen says that she began Dred the very minute she got it, and is deeply interested in it. She bought a copy of Lowell's poems, and begged me to mark the best ones for her; so if you see him, tell him that we have been reading him together. She is, taking her all in all, one of the noblest-appointed women I ever saw; real old, genuine English, such as one reads of in history; full of nobility, courage, tenderness, and zeal. It does me good to hear her read prayers daily, as she does, in the midst of her servants and guests, with a manner full of grand and noble feeling. Thursday morning, September 25.

ade more valuable friends. Since we left Aberdeen, from which place my last was mailed, we have visited in Edinburgh with abounding delight; thence yesterday to Newcastle. Last night attended service in Durham Cathedral, and after that came to York, whence we send Henry to Liverpool. I send you letters, etc., by him. One hundred thousand copies of Dred sold in four weeks! After that who cares what critics say? Its success in England has been complete, so far as sale is concerned. It is ntance with divers of her lords and ladies, and heard all she has said about Dred ; how she prefers it to Uncle Tom, how she inquired for you, and other matters. Till then, I am, as ever, your affectionate wife, H. B. Stowe.

nate wife, H. B. Stowe. After leaving York, Mrs. Stowe and her party spent a day or two at Carlton Rectory, on the edge of Sherwood Forest, in which they enjoyed a most delightful picnic. From there they were to travel to London by way of Warwick and Oxford, and of this journey Mrs. Stowe writes as follows to her son Henry-- The next morning we were induced to send our things to London, being assured by Mr. G. that he would dispatch them immediately with some things of his own that You must hurry, said the guard. How can we? said I, when we can't get tickets. He went and thumped, and at last roused the dormant intelligence inside. We got our tickets, ran for dear life, got in, and then waited ten minutes! Arrived at Warwick we had a very charming time, and after seeing all there was to see we took cars for Oxford. The next day we tried to see Oxford. You can have no idea of it. Call it a college! it is a city of colleges,--a mountain of museums, colleges, ha
