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

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
