"On Monday night Orion Broth

and social equality was witnessed
The doors had been open for some
time and a goodly number OF
spectators, ladies and gentleman
had assembled, when a Yankee
soldier, in uniform, with a yellow
negro wench hanging on his arm
handed in his tickets and passed
in. After getting inside the pa
Wilton he made his way leisurely
to the seats being rapidly filled by
the whites, handed his companion
up and seated himself by her side,
in close proximity to several white
ladies and gentlemen. Soon after
taking his seat he was heard to
say that he was an advocate of
social equality, and intended to
carry it out. He was at once
pointed out to one of the man
ayers, who promptly told him
that he and his negro girl must
yacate those seats and take their
places on the other side of the
pavilion. They obeyed, and were
soon seated among the other ne
groes. Degradedand demeralized
as he was, the white blood that
was in him could not help but
boil, and the flush of shame soon
mounted to his cheeks, and he
took his handkerchief and tried
to conceal his features! The bows
would occasionally taunt him,
until at last he could stand it no
longer, but slipped through the
seats, crawled under the canvas.
