Ingersoll last Friday came so un exspected that it shocked the {peopl and wraped the world in sorrr and profound regret. Earth ha lost one of her greatest humat iriana, America her greatest son for enuality and liberty, Education one jof her rare jewels, Oritory her greatest ex cellency, Literature its brightest store house, and the colored rao one of its very best friends,true ai •11 .times and on all occasion* tci, speak out boldly for them. He liltf an electric storm purified thie "rel( -j ious atmosphere and destroped re I ligious superstition. He lived ana died far in advance of his time, ai cid Gallileo, Goethe and (Newton By his rare courage, brilliant abilit he applied himself to hisr task an won an immortality of gratfitud* an I glory of love. He sougnt nofcl for the transformation of this worl into a habitable globe so as to dwel 1 in love and happiness. His horn was a true type a rational concep tion of heaven, as ever* fting abo it was love, kindness^R True he was a theoiivo but to the colored rare and severing humanity he was thefir true and beloved friend. He has done more perhaps for the advance ment and elevation of t'«ie celortid race than any living white AmericAii. His name should be immortalised by our race with the names of Wei*, dell Phillips, Love joy, Harriette Beecher Stewe, John Brjown, Surifi ner, Douglass, Butler and Linco't. Oh! If America had more ?u tenderhearted sympathetic, broald minded, liberal ideas and law abid ing citizens the world indeed would be much better then (the present generation with selfish,'aims-' diced mind and narrow ^superstitions ideas.
