Aa Orator. ;| Whatevec may be said or thought

of Co). 11. G. Ingersoll's theological views, nobody can deny that be Is a prince of oratory. Tho following extracts from his lecture on "Skulls99

shows the power of the roan* and his matchless gift of language:

A little while ago I stood by the grave of the old Napoleon—a mag­nificent tomb of gilt and gold, fit al­most for a dead deity—and gazed upoq the sarcophagus of black Egyp* tlaii marble, where rest at last the ashes of tbo restless man. 1 leaned over the balustrade and thought about the career of the greatest sol­dier of tha modern world. I saw him walking upon the banks of the Seine, contemplating auicide, I saw him at Toulon—I aaw him potting down the mob In the streets of Paris —I saw him at the head of the army of Italy—I saw him crossing the bridge of Lodl with the tri-color In his hand—I saw him in Egypt In the shadows of the pyramids—I saw him conquor the Alps and mingle the eaglea of France with the eagles of the crags. I saw him at Marengo— at Ulm and Austerlttz. 1 saw him In Russia, where the infantry dt the snow and the cavalry of the wild blast scattered his legions; like Winter's withered leaves. I saw' him at Leipelo In defeat and disaster j —driven by a million bayonets back upon Parish—clutched like a wild | beast—banished to Elba.

No day can be so holy but' what the laugh of a child will make It ho­lier still. Strike with the hand of Hre, oh, wierd musician, thy harp, strung with Apollo's golden hair Fill the vast cathedral aisles with symphonies sweot and dira£ deft toucher of the organ's keys; blow bugler, blow, until thy silver notes dp touch and kiss the moonlit waver; and charm tho lovers wandering 'mid tho vine clad hills. But* know your sweetest strains are discords all compared with1 childhood's happy laugh—the laugh that fills the eyes with light and every heart with joy! O, rlppiiag river of laughter, thou art the blessed boundary line be­tween the beasts and men, and every wayward wave of thine doth drown some fretful fiend of care. O laughter, roselipped daughter of ,Joyt there are dimples enough in thy cheeks lo catch and hold and glorify all the teara of grief. [Applause. J [T

THE MOSES OF IRE EXODUS*

Benjamin ainsrieton, ft* x.enaer ot tme Ffoajro Ketufeea .

Over seventy years ago Btihjemln Singleton was born a mulatto slave In Nashville, Tenn. As he grew to manhood he was noted for Intelli­gence, shrewdness and persistent pur­pose. His master employed him It cabinet making until he was sold to go farther South. He made his es-j cape from his new master and re-t turned to Tennessee : was again sold and again escaped, this experience being several tiroes repeated. At last he made a bold venture for freedom, and after several unsuccessful efforts and much suffering pnd peril, suc­ceeded in reaching Canada* That was before the war. As soon as he dared, he returned to Detroit, where he worked at the most menial occu­pations, and at the same time kept a station on the underground railroad, where fugitives were concealed and fed until they could be sent across the river to perfect freedom. At the dose of the war be returned to Ten­nessee and entered upon the mission which had been early conceived in his mind, and thought out in the long years whilst a, slave, a fugitive and an exile. The problem which more learned men than the poor mulatto 'had been earnestly pondering in their comfortable studies^ he had. been working out in darkness, privation and danger, and the; solution that offered Itself Iras the same. To achieve and maintain their freedom, the colored people must be freexfrom dependence on their old masters. They must own theiphomes, till tbelr own lands, and be in all respects rp-dependent and self-reliant. It was Industrial Independence and material prosperity for which Singleton la* bored. The political question he cared little about. TQ fact rfe appears to have looked upon the giving polit­ical rights to the colored man as somewhat in ttie nature of a double blessing. In conversation with a correspondent of tho St. Louis Globe-Democrat, to whom he narrated at length, though with modest self-de­preciation, the stontof the emigra­tion movement, hfsald "when the fifteenth amendment came along, and the carpet-baggers, my poor people thought they was goln' to have/ Ca­naan right off. But I knowed better ; I knowed better, an' I told 'em eo. I said to 'em: "Hyar you is a potterin9

round in politics, and try in9 to get Into offices you ain't fit for/ and can't you see that these white tramps from the North Is simply usln you for to link their pockets, and when thoy get through they'll drop you, and the re­bels will come into power—and then where will you be?"

Ten years ago he formed his plans and endeavored to enlist his colored neighbors In the work. They were very slow to accept his ideas- and much averse to leaving the South. An attempt wa* made to purchase lands in Tennessc, and form a colored settlement there, but no one would

I soft them land except at exorbitant ^figures. A committee was aent in 1872 to Kansas, the State sealed to freedom by the blood of freedmen* A favorable report was returned, and a few families made the journey. The next year Singleton, wtio had In the meantime organizod the "Tennessee Real Estate and Homestead Associa­tion," and was its president, went to Kansas, found a location that suited him, and on his next visit brought op between 200 and 300 people, who founded the pioneer colored settle­ment of Single!on colony, Cherokee County, In Southeastern Kansas. These people did so well that in the following year large accessions were made, and with every year the stream of emigration grew larger. It is esti­mated that hot lees than 15,000 color­ed persons have arrived in Kansas from the 8oulb. Slngleton'g agaocla-Iton has established two flourishing settlements, bearing the same name, In Cherokee and Morris counties; a Kentucky organization of a similar character has established a colony lx| Graham coonty which they named Nicodemus, and there, are smaller colored settlemente In Barton and Hodgamkn counties. Many of these
