SoJoURNER Truth DEAD. Sojourner
Truth, the well known colored lecturer, died
at Battle Creek, Mich, on Monday, aged l0S
years. For almost three-quarters of a centu-
ry she delivered lectures from the East to the
West upon temperance, politics, and the wo.
mans rights question. She was born a slave,
in the state of New York, and spent the early
part of her life--until 1917, when slavery was
abolished in that state-in hard work in the
fields of her many masters Her parents
were brought from the coast Of Guinea, and
sold as slaves on arriving in the United States.
Her real name-or that which had been given
to her by her first master-was Isabella Har
denburg. She had a tall, masculine looking
figure, almost six feet high, and talked in a
deep, gutteral, powerful voice. She could
neither read nor write but on her lecturing
tours took with her her grandson, who attend
ed to her business affairs. Sojourner knew
many prominent men-her favorite statesman
being Abraham Lincoln-and her narratives
and descriptions of those whom she had
known showed that she had judged their
characters exceedingly we'll During her lat
er life, or for the past ten years, her avowed
object in travelling around was to obtain
names to petition which she intended pre-
senting to the Government, asking that por-
ton of the public land in the West be set
apart for the establishment of a negro colony,
where she proposed that the negro youth
should be educated. Sojourner undoubtedly
did great deal of good work during her life
time, for she was instrumental in retaining
hundreds of men and women from a bad life,
and by her own life set a splendid example to
the colored population.

Iron the st. Adams Mcssengerl
At recent trial in Windham county court
certain parties were trying 10 obtain from
the Central Vermont railroad damages on ac-
count of the accidental setting on fire Of some
property adjacent to the track, by sparks
from an engine. One question at issue was
whether the locomotives of the road were in
a safe condition as regarding the escape of
sparks, and several master. mechanics from
other roads were summoned to testify on this
point-Assistant Superintendent Foss Of the
Central being among the witnesses. While
the character Of the netting used over the
stacks was under discussion, Mr.. Foss was
called to tho stand and in the crosse xamina.
ton by Lawyer Eddy this colloquy occurred
Mr.. Eddy-'Now, Mr.. Foss, couldn't you
use finer netting on your engines 2"
Mr.. Foss-"I don't think we could, sir,
practically"
Mr.. Eddy-"well, Mr.. Foss, do you know
of any way to stop the escape of sparks from
the stack and thus prevent the setting of
these fres?"
Mr.. Foss-"Yes, sir l know of one way,
aud the only way it can be done
Mr.. Eddy with a satisfied and expectant
air)-"Now, Mr.. Foss, won't you please tell
the jury what that one way is p
Mr.. Foss-'Yes, sir the only way know
of to prevent it is to stop up the stack SO
tight that not even bit Of smoke can get
out of ii !"
This put quietus on the cross-examina-
ton, and brought down the house" Law
yer Eddy didn't appear anxious to question
this witness any further and now the mas
ter mechanics who were present at the trial
are loosely urging Mr. Foss to secure pat
emit on this sort of spark arrester,' which is
warranted to make property along the track
absolutely safe from FIRE.

question "How to make farming pay" was
pretty thoroughly analysed by the large num-
her present. Frank Griffin opened the ques.
ton by stating in the first place, natural apti-
tude, common sense, judgment and love of
work are essential to successful farming, and
urged the importance Of doing work we'll.
Mr.. Powers spoke Of the advantage gained by
making good butter, cheese, ETC., and paying
special attention TO the quality of farm pro-
ducts w. W. Stowe dwelt upon the neoessi-
ty Of keeping stock, tools, ETC., in good or
der. and insisted that the farmer should live
within his means. Fred Worden thought
that mixed farming is the most profitable and
that the farmer should have a taste for his
work in order to succeed. Elijah Allen spoke
of keeping the surroundings in a healthy
condition, and that it is the farmers duty to
endeavor to have happiness and contentment
ever present residents upon the farm. He
also considered the relation of the weather to
the proper time of doing work. Geo. Scott
spoke of stock raising and did not consider II
advisable to buy stock which had been high
" fed unless the practice could be continued,
T. Hillman spoke of location, gardening, ETC.,
and offered some valuable suggestions con-
corning the feeding Of stock. A musical
treat was furnished by Mr.. Hillmsn and

ED IN JAIL.
jesse Henry Myers, late captain of the
United Birds and Brothers, was ARRESTED in
Woburn, Mass, by officers of the United
States secret service on Thursday evening,
Nov. 22d. He had on his person when ar
rested a loaded revolver and his pockets full
of cartridges, which are now in possession
of the deputy marshal who brought him
home from Boston He waived examination
on both warrants and was held for trial in the
sum of $500 on the charge of oounterfeiting,
and $1,000 for horse stealing, and was COM
mitted to Jail at Newfane for want of bail.
He says, IF there is anything wrong in max
ing dollars. then am in for it, as have run
few, and shall plead guilty as soon as can
come before the United States court and
take what they give me-" But on the horse
stealing he claims to be all right. He says he
hired the team, has had good counsel, and it is
only breach of trust, and that he took the
team to get even with the liveryman, against
whom he had a grudge. He openly boasts
that if Ballard had overtaken him whilst
Clark was with him at Mooers, n. Y, IF he
had come to the house where they stopped
alone, that is where he would have made a
mistake, as he would have stayed there whilst
they went to Canada that they kept pretty
full whilst there on purpose to keep their
courage up to the point to resist arrest with
their pistols, if necessary"

Facts are stubborn ThInr..

Is there anything in any Of the numerous
advertisements of the Royal Baking Powder
to show that the Royal does not use ammonia
and tartario acid as cheap substitutes for cream
of tartar Or is there any charge, or the
slightest insnuation in those advertisements,
that Clevelands Superior Baking Powder con
tains anything but the purest grape cream of
tartar and bicarbonate Of soda, with small
portion Of -four as preservativeY
Ammonia and tartarc acid produce cheap
leavening gas, which is not to be compared,
in the practical test of baking, with the more
desirable carbonic acid gas generated by the
exclusive use Of the expensive cream of tar

Use Cleveand's Superior Baking Powder,
and Judge for yourself of its superiority.

THIS YEAB's DISPLAY OF NATURAL PHENoM-
ENA will give scientists enough to do for some
time. The green sun" that frightened the
people of India Oeylon and South America,a
few weeks ago, is supposed by the learned to
be in some way connected with earthquakes.
The color of the sun turned to green and then
to blue, and is thought to be due to smoke or
dust from earthquakes or volcanoes. The
Alaska fur steamer Dora, which has just ar
rived at San Francisco from Ounalaska, re-
ports volcanic action in Behring's sea not
known to the signal service. On the 10th of
October the sun became obscured and gray
ashes fell to a depth of four inches. The dis
turbanoe ia supposed to have been in Rogas-
lay, volcanic island. The sea in the neigh
borhood threw up ashes aud lava, and a new
island, three quarters of a mile long, with
peak 800 feet high, was formed. Many sea
lions were scalded TO death, and the natives
tell about finding many alive with the fur
gone and in no condition to go into winter
quarters
