RADICAL EXAoTIoSs.-The colored gentlemen
have a newspaper organ in New Orleans, through
which they splurge in genuine Pompey aud Sam.
30 style. The other day one of the correspon>
dents urged upon bis cOlored brothers that the
pretended regards for them, by the radical poll
ticians, should be subject to a test. Hear the
sweet-scented Adons:
"What propose is this if we are politically
and socially their equals, as they say, that we,
our wives aud daughters must be invited to their
dinners and evening parties, and all OF their so>
cial gatherings, with their white friends and
they, their wives and daughters must accept
our invitations, and mingle with our friends
But if they do not invite us, and do not accept
our invitations, and do not mix freely and on
all occasions, think we safely say that
they still believe US to be 'niggers,' and that all
they want is our vote to elect themselves
''Another very good test for us would be to
invite them and their wives and daughters to
take an airing in a large open carriage with our
selves, wives and daughters, pleasant evenings
on tbe most public streets in the city, and then
drive to the lake and have good dinner, all at
our own expense.
81 must not forget to say that our young men
must show the most polite attentions to the
daughters of our radical frends-they must call
upon them often and wait upon them to parties,
balls and concerts, and their young men must
call upon our daughters and wait upon them to
parties balls and concerts. If at parties, plays
should be introduced, sucn as drop the hand
kerchief,' SNAP and catch 'em,' | hope the pen
alties will be exacted and paid without any
hesitation"

PRoF, AGAssIz on THE NEGRo.-In a recent
lecture Agassz remarked have pointed out
over a hundred specific differences between bonal
and nervous systems of the white man and negro.
Indeed their frames are alike in no particular
There is not bone in the negro's boldly which
is relatively the same shape, size, articulation,
or chemically of the same composition, as that
of the white man. Even the negros blood Is
chemically a very different fluid from that which
courses in the veins of the white man. The
whole physical organization of the negro differs
quite as much from the white mans as it does
from that of the chimpanIee-that is in his
bones, muscles, nerves and fbres, the chimpan-
zee has not much farther 10 progress to become
a white man. This fact science inexorably dem
onstrates
Climate has no more to do with the difference
between the white man and the negro than it
has with that between the negro and cblmpanzee,
or il has between the horse and the ass, or the
eagle and the owl. Each is distinct and sepe-
rate creation. The negro and the white man
were created as specifically different as the owl
and the eagle. They were designed to fill differ
ent places in the system of nature. The negro
is no more a negro by accident or misfortune
than the owl is the kind of a bird be Is by acci-
dent or misfortune. The negro is no more the
white mans brother than the owl is the sister OF
the eagle, or the ass the brother of the horse.
How stupendous and yet how simple is the doc
trlne that the Almighty Maker Of the universe
has created inherent species Of men, just as be
has different species of the lower animals, to fill
different places and offices in the grand scenery
of nature

ANEaRo's SPEEcH-There was a mass meeting
in Terry, Mississippi, on the 4th Of July, atten-
ded as well by the blacks as the whites, for the
purpose of discussing the reconstruction policy
Of Congress. Rolla Williams, black man, was
one of the speakers, and presented, in rather
rambling manner, his views of the situation, and
the relation of the colored race thereto. They
were, be said, between two great political par
ties and it would be for their interest to keep
clear of both. White meu were too smart for
them they had the advantage Of the blacks, and
they kney how to use it. They had swindled the
negro, but hereafter when they want his servi-
ces, they must pay him. Honesty is tue best
policy for all parties, and if the black man fails
in his duty, be ought to suffer for it. If there
were more blacks than white men in the Peni-
Tertiary, it was Cnot because white men were
honester, but because they were generally too
smart to be caught. As for equality, be wanted
none of it; "birds of feather flock together"
The place for the negro, until he is more eleva>
ted, is the cabin or the kitchen. White people
should not go there. 'lf you do" said the
speaker, you'll raise corruption !" Each
should keep their places, and not intrude on the
other, and all will be peace and harmony. He
thanked god for the privilege of standing up on
that platform, and interceding for bis race. He
felt like shouting for joy when Governor Brown
sent him an invitation to come here and speak.
He urged upon his hearers peace and amity with
the men of the South, and warned them against
crafty and designing politicians, who would fat
ter them for their votes. He was opposed to
confscation or free distribution of lands; if
black men want land they must go to work and
acquire it by honest industry. He knew Yankees
who came to this country from their barren
homes in the North, and when they made dol>
lar they put it by, and when they bad scraPed
enough together they would invariably bny a
nigger, and after a while two more, and so on
until they became rich men. He commended bis
brethren to adopt their policy and not spend
money on trihes. Their interest and that of the
white men of the South was identical, and be
hoped nothing would occur to produce dissensiou
between them. He did not blame white men for
feeling hurt because of losing their slaves. If
be, the speaker, owned a hundred slaves, and
they were all taken away from him, be would
feel very sorry too.

LOST.

There are gains for all our losses,
There are balms for all our pain
But when youth, the dream, departs,
1t takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
We are stronger. and are better,
Under manhood's sterner reign
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth with flying feet,
Aud will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
Aud we sigh for it in vain
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth and in the air,
But it never comes again.

pray three consecutive nights, the Lord would

changed voice, and said "Dove." "No Lord
not Doyle" cried the astonished young lady.
"Ges, Doyle, or no one" again sounded from
the tree top in a sober, hollow voice. She arose
and entered the house, resolved to try again tho
next evening. OF course Doyle did not wish TO
spoil the fun, and so the next evening found him
seated in the tree toP. He did not have long to
wait before the young husband seeker came and
commenced praying IN the same way that she did
the preceding evening, and received the same
answer. The next evening also found her under
the tree pleading to know her future husbands
name, and again she heard the answer, "Doyle
or no one" She arose, feeling satisfied that she
must marry Doyle. The next morning she met
him and asked him why he did not put on better
clothes. He said that he was not able. "Well"
said She "hther is rich and be will let you have
money He took that for pretty good hint,

of draining all medicine vials returned to him
by patients into one large bottle which stood
upon bis counter. Wondering what could be
his object in accumulating this strange mixture,
the friend one day interrogated him on the point.
/" Surely" he said, ''you can have no use for

apothecary, that is the most scientific medicine
