She was introduced by representatlve La Du or Montcalin. Her voice is insufllcient to be heard in all parts of the hall the acoustic properties of the room beingso imperfect that many of her best thinga were lost on the audience, but frequent applause was given by those who could hear her. Sojourner has taken a fresh lease of lite within a few months.and is brightand vivacious. Her hair has changed from white to black, her hearing and sight are excellent, and her health never was better The proofs of her great age are that she (tistinctly reraembers the famous dark day of Miy 19, 1780; that she saw the first steumboat on the Hudson river in 1807 wlien a full-grown woman; and that In 1817, when emancipation took place in the state of New York, where she iras born a slave, her age was upwards of 40 years. Her birth must have been nearly coeval wil h that of the great American republic which under Abraham Lincoln lifted her eutire race from slavery to freedom.
