HOJfOlllSER TRUTH DEAD. Sojourner Truth, the well known colored lecturer died at her home in Battle Creek, Mich., November 26, at the age of 112 years. She was famous for half a century in the causes of abo , lition and woman's rights. She was an - African in blood and birth, a slave in New York state. She very lately learned - to read and write; but she always had the gift of an inspired eloquence. She spoke on the platform with Garrison, Phillips, Binney and Redmond. Her first master ' ftave her the name of Isa bella Hardenburgh. She is said to have prayed to the Lord to give her a new . name. While praying she heard, she said, the name "Sojourner" whispered to her, because sha was to travel up and down, and afterwards"Truth"was added to it to signify that she should speak nothing but truth, to all men. Mrs Frances D. Gage has recorded one of Sojourner Truth's impressive outbursts on the public platform in the "History of Woman Suffrage." It was at a woman's rights convention at Akron, O., in 1851. During its sessions old Sojourner, for she was 80 years of age then, "sat crouched against the , wall on the corner of the pulpit Btairs, : her sun bonnet shading her eyes, her elbows on her kneesi her chin resting upon her broad, hard palms." Few dared to have her speak.many implored Mrs Gage, who was president of the convention, to prevent .her from speak ing. They didn't want their cause Vmixed up with abolition and niggers. r But the time came when Sojourner Truth felt it borne in upon her to speak. "She moved slowly to the front, laid . her old bonnet at her feet and turned her great speaking eyes to me." Hisses came from the audience. But she looked their disapproval down. Nearly six feet high, her head was thrown back and her eyes 'pierced the upper air like one in a dream." At her first word there was a profound hush. She spoke in deep tones, though not loud, which reached every ear in the house. Here are some of the words she said and they will serve to show how powerful and original a character was this full-blooded African woman and how justified her fame was: . "Dat" man ober dar say dat womin need to: be helped into carriges and lifted ober ditches, and to hab de bes' eberywhar. Nobody eber helps me into carriges, or ober mud puddles, or gibes me any bes'place!" And,raising herself : to her full hight and her voice to a pitch like rolling thunder, she asked, And a'n't I a woman ? Look at my arm!" (and she bared her right arm to the shoulder, showing her tremendous . v muscular power.) "I have plowed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me. And a'n't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man when I could get it, and bear the lash as well. And an t I a woman ? I have borne 13 chilern, and seen 'em mos' all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my ...... 1 a. t . , iuvuici a uuut) uub iesus Heard me. And a'n't I a woman? "Den dey talks 'bout dis ting in de head, what dis dey call it?" (" Intel lect,"whispered some one near.) "Dai's it, honey. What's dat got to do wid wonim s rights, or nigger's rights? If my cup won t hold but a pint, and yourn holds a quart, wouldn't ye be mean not to let me have my little half measure full? Den dat little man in black dar, he says women can't have as much rights as men, because Christ wa'n't a woman! Whar did your Christ come from?". Boiling thunder could not have stilled that crowd as did those deep wonderful tohes,as she stood there with outstretched arms and eyes of lire. Raising her voice still louder, she repeated, "Whar did your Christ come from? From God and a woman ! Man had nothin to do wid him!" .Tg? caucus of Democratic representa tives elect was held at Washington, L. C; on the evening of December land nominated John G. . Carlisle to be speaker. He was nominated on the first ballot, the votes standing, Carlisle 107, Randall 45, Cox 36. - The New York Tribune says : "An analysis of the vote shows that of the votes cast, 95 were from the " Solid South and 93 from the North and West: Of the 95 Southern votes Mr Carlisle received 72, Mr Randall 19 and Mr Cox 4. In other words three-fourths of the "Solid South" went for the can didate of the "Solid South" and he received only 32 votes besides. North of the Potomac and east of the Allegha nies he received only one vote, that of Mr Morse of Massachusetts. The four votes Mr Cox received in the South were one from Arkansas, two from Missouri and one from North Carolina. Mr Edward Bosworth the oldest mer chant of Lee, Mass, died suddenly, Nov. 24, witn Heart disease. His age was 61 years. He was noted for his integrity, ji 1: 1 persevereiiuc auu urtues.-i energy as a business man ; and was public spirited and generous even to his own hurt. As a friend and neighbor he was true, kind and obliging. His loss will be felt by the entire community. He was a de voted husband and a kind and affection ate father. His funeral was largely at tended on Thursday, Nov. 27, all places of business being closed and the mer chants attending in a body and preceed ing the hearse to the ctmttery.
