Cough at Plymouth Church.
B. S. MERRIAM.
CITY Recorder,

Last night Plymouth Church in BROOKLYN
held one of the most numerous, appreciatiye,
and enthusiastic audiences which John B.
Cough has ever been called upon to address
Mayor Hall presided on the occasion and in
troduced MIR. Cough, For the space of two
hours the lecturer and his audience were alb
sorbed-the one In portraying the evils Of
intcmperance and the good which flows from
temperance, the other in eagerly drinking in
the magic OF his eloquence. At the close of
his lecture he said that--as he had done a
lew pays ago at Boston-he should have to
apologize for introducing q subject not ex-
actly pertinent to the temperance question.
but still one in which he was assured every
one present would feel an interest. About
three or four years ago lady in Kentucky,
who had just been left heir to certain pro-
perty in lands and slaves by the death Of her
father, resolved to sell her lands, and move
with her slaves into a Free State, where she
could give them their liberty To this pro.
Ject her brothers most strongly dissented,
and they even went so far as to set up that
the slaves were hers only during her life,
and would revert to them at her decease.-
Beating them on this point, they asserted
that she was insane. But after the trial their
lawyers rather conceded that she was con-
sderably more sane than her prosecuting
brothers. So she sold out all her property
and went with her slaves to Keokuk, Iowa,
where she gave them their freedom. In de-
Tending herself against her brothers, she had

exhausted NIL of her resources, and was
about ~ poor rs well could be. The Mayor
Of keokuk gave the negroes couple Of lots
Of ground, and they set up n cabin, one
room Of which they fixed up as we'll as their
means would allow for the reception Of their
old mistress. From that time they supported
her us well as themselves by performing
whatever work they could get to do. At the
head Of the slave family was the old slave
mother--her children around her numbered
IL persons but she had a son and two sons
in-law in slavery. These she had promised
to freeif God gave her strength. Her son
is a minister Of the Gospel, and she told him
that before long she hoped he would be

hgion, Free man, 10 Free State. Great
Applause. Having a bond from the own,

beg the means Of purchasing her children's
freedom. She had collected, by quarters
and halves and dollars, So, 1000 when the
speaker met with her in Boston. Her feet
were swollen from travel, and her toe nails
came off; but she did not give up. La Bos-
ton, in two nights, the people gave her about
$500 He told them that he was going to
speak in Brooklyn in few days, and would
urge her claims there. Now, said he, she is
here to speak for herself. Who will help her
on? WIN you enable her to return at once
to her old mistress and her family in Iowa !?
Mayor Hall put the question, Should u
subscription be taken up and 1t was unani-
mously voted that it should. The collection
amounted to the handsome sum Of S24S 98,
which was made up to $3.50. The old lady,
although born a slave, and unable to read or
write, is very intelligent, and excited great
deal of interest, more especially among the
ladies.--[N. Y. Trib.
