COUNTY RADICALs.-At meeting OF the
colored radicals OF the county, held last Dight at
Arliugtou, speech was made by postotlce
clerk banned A. II. Bessell, OF Connecticut,
who attempted to prove TO his sable hearers
that there was public sentiment at the oouih
steadily directed against the recognition OF any
rights to the negro except the right TO serve;
that the school of craftsmanship iu which the
people of the South have been reared derdeS
the idea of equality OF race, andis founded upon
the supremacy OF the white and the substrV'-
eDcy Of the black race.
John < Blsnheim followed him and begged
the crowd to continue to vote for the radicals,
who, he said, had saved the country from an
arcby and treason, and through whose ecouSomy
the legacy ofthe shareholders, treason aud re
bellioD, the national debt has been reduced add
the country fast returning to specie payment.

GOING TO THE OPERA-[ The Arcadion.l !,
Chicago society has charming way Of going
to the opera. This is an estimate, according
to the Sunday Times, of that city, Of the ex-
pense which "toney" young man must
incur when he takes his adored to hear Clara
Louise Kellogg: Two pairs OF gloves (self
and Flora), So; bouquet and two "button-
holes" S1.25; necktie, $1.5O; two orchestra
chairs, 81; carriage, 81; libretto, SO cents;
supper and small bottle, So drinks for dri-
yer, SO cents. Total, $21.75.
When mentioning the gloves for "self
and Flora" the Times omits to state that
good society requires q gentleman to pro-
vide bis companion with arctics, two pairs
OF striped stockings, three handkerchiefs,
and pair of hairpins. Neither does it
specify the contents Of the "small BOTTLE"
whether lager, champagne, or Robinson
county whiskey. We would suggest una
dulterated laudanum as drink for man
who thinks it necessary, when he takes a
lady to place Of amusement, to offer her q
pair OF gloves to go in, and champagne
supper afterwards. 49,. 49,. s,..',t
