Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Cheerful Yesterdays, I. A Cambridge boyhood (search)
er took lessons in Latin and Italian from Professor Bachi and in geometry from Professor Benjamin Peirce. I forget where this especial sister studied English, but she wrote for me all the passages that were found worth applauding in my commencement oration. Yet it is a curious fact that I owe indirectly to a single remark made by my mother all the opening of my eyes to the intellectual disadvantages of her sex. There came to Cambridge a very accomplished stranger, Mrs. Rufus King, of Cincinnati, Ohio, -afterward Mrs. Peter,--who established herself there about 1837, directing the college training of a younger brother, two sons, and two nephews. No woman in Cambridge was so highly educated; and once, as she was making some criticisms at our house upon the inequalities between the sexes, my mother exclaimed in her ardent way, But only think, Mrs. King, what an education you have obtained. Yes, was the reply, but how did I obtain it? Then followed a tale almost as pathetic as that t

87); The Dusantes (1888); Amos Kilbright, with other stories (1888); The great War Syndicate (1889); The stories of the three Burglars (1890) ; and The Merry Chanter (1890). Died in Washington, D. C., April 20, 1902. Stowe, Harriet Elizabeth [Beecher]. Born in Litchfield, Conn., June 14, 1811. She was the daughter of Rev. Lyman Beecher, and in 1836 married Rev. Calvin E. Stowe, having been educated at Hartford, Conn., and at the Litchfield Academy. For a short time she lived at Cincinnati, Ohio, where she learned much about the condition of slaves in the South. Her experience is brought out in Uncle Tom's cabin, which was written for the purpose of convincing the North of the horrors which attended the institution of slavery. Among her publications are The Mayflower, or short sketches of the descendants of the Pilgrims (1849); Uncle Tom's cabin, or life among the Lowly, which first appeared in the National era of Washington, D. C., between June, 1851, and April, 1852, and wa

papers first noted the fitful appearance, in the poet's corner of their respective gazettes, of verses by Alice Cary. Two or three years later, other such-like, and yet different-also irradiated, from time to time, the aforesaid corner, purporting to be from the pen of Phebe Cary. Inquiry at length elicited the fact that the writers were young sisters, the daughters of a plain, substantial farmer, who lived on and cultivated his own goodly but not superabundant acres, a few miles out of Cincinnati, Ohio. He was a Universalist in faith, and they grew up the same,--writing oftener for the periodicals of their own denomination, though their effusions obtained wide currency through others, into which they were copied. I do not know, but presume, that Alice had written extensively, and Phebe occasionally, for ten years, before either had asked or been proffered any other consideration therefor than the privilege of being read and heard. This family of Carys claim kindred with Sir Rober

Princeton, whose first wife, a daughter of Chancellor Taylor of Virginia, had left him two children, —Samuel Creed Gholson, subsequently a physician in Mississippi, and Ann Jane Gholson, who married Mr. Glasgow, one of the proprietors of the Tredegar Iron Works in Richmond. Removing to Mississippi in 1835, Mr. Gholson there married Miss Elvira Wright, the mother of the subject of this biography. In 1845, for private reasons, he relinquished his flourishing law practice and removed to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he became at one time city solicitor, and in 1855 was elected Judge of the Superior Court. This office he held till 1860, when he was elected Judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio, on the Republican ticket. Since that date he has resigned his seat on the bench, and resumed the profession of an advocate. The Gholsons, wrote William, in 1861, were originally of Saxon descent. . . . . The name is a very rare one, borne, I think, only by our own family. My father has examined
