Death of Wendell Phillips.

Wendell Phillips died lasy Saturday
in Boston, where he was born Nov
Goth, 1911.
The great orator, the soul of the
anti-slavery movement, passed away
after seeing America ''free for the
footsteps Of each slave" A great
work which his eloquence and power
did wonders to accomplish. Of his
power as an orator, Mr.. Cook says:
"He had united such weight Of mat
ter and such manliness of manner,
with only SO much grace as may be
allowed to a man, that no audience,
though it was packed with enemies
when he began, but would be his
friend when he ended.
The world loved this eloquent ad-
vocate of the rights of the people, Of
justice aud humanity. No part OF
the people have greater reason to hold
his memory dear than the colored peo-
pie. A study OF his life and charac-
ter, his gentleness, modest deeds cf
benevolence, aside from his distin-
guished abilities, will more and more
add to his fame. No wonder that
such noble heart should burn with
such eloquence for the benighted
slave ard that he should have made
his lecture on "Tonssrint L'Ouver
ture' his master piece,
Peace to his ashes, and long live
his memory and fame.
