From the st. Louis Evening News.
Gen. John B. Clark, of Howard.


Who has for long time given the Wing
party so much trouble by claiming to be a
Wing, and yet opposing the action of the
party and forming coalitions with its life
long and deadly opponents, has at last sew
cred his unnatural connection and joined the
Democratic party.
He publishes a letter in the last number
ofthe Howard County Banner (Democratic)
declining a call on him to be a candidate
for the Legislature, in which he lets fly a
parthian arrow at his old friends. 1t is
done as follows:
Two years ago felt myself constrained to enter
the canvass and submit my aspirations to the people
of Toward. because thought an effort was being
made by certain Federalists of the two great par
ties TO give 10 the State of Missouri Federal di-
rection in her legislation, and to edorse by the re-
election of distinguished Senator 10 the United
States Senate, political doctrines at war with and
destructive to the vital principles of our govern
ment.
The charge here made that the whole
Wing party Of Missouri, except the corpo-
rails guard hatclung to Gen. Clark and es-
poused his notions, were engaged in an Ell
fort to s're-electn Senator Benton, is like the
tale Of an idiot, weak and driveling beyond
the veriest booby's conception.
Gen. Clark has long been at heart, against
us. His position was known, and it was
only by an outrage on whig patience through
out the State that he was admitted into the
Wing eaucuses of the last Legislature. But
to put himself out of reach of such associa-
ton hereafter, he now calmly steps upon the
Jefferson City Democratic platform. He
says:
believe the. Virginia and Kentucky resolutions
of '9S and 799 contain the true doctrines on the
powers of fine Federal government, and the right:
of the States and people, and that any party OF in
dividual opposing the principles Of those resolu-
tions ought to be opposed by every true republi,
T. can!
Very well. The Whig party of Missouri
"oppose" those resolutions; and it is nothing
new to them, nor at all calculated to disturb
their hopes or their happiness, to know thai
In consequence that they are to be opposet
by all such republicans as Gen. John B

of Dedham, respecting the late accident to

Slavery Standard, he says:

Modesty in Girls.

This fascinating attribute should never
be wanting in the appearance ofa young lady
for there is nothing which beauties her
character as much as its apparent possess
sion. Modesty in woman is like sunshine
in picture, o. like the fragrance of the
rose. it not only pleases the eye but exalts
the senses. The graceful step, the swan
like swing-the russet dimplcd cheek-the
marble brow-the silvery voice and lus-
trous eyes have all their worshippers, and
each their transitorv trumphs, but the
blush which tinges the cheek of retiring
modestv is by far more enchanting and love-
ly, and the effect is as amable as it is ir-
resistiblc. If boldness is seen in the lin
eaments of handsome female face, the har-
mony of the expression is broken. the deli
cate outlines become harsh, and if admira-
ton was once inspired, il will sink into
nothing but a cold and formal respect
The sterner sex look not for the rough and
uncouth expressions as congenial with the
character of the other-they naturally look
for feelings more tender-impulses more
sensitive-ideas more delicate, minds less
subject to passion, and characteristics more
modest and less assuming. The rude dar'
ing Of a young lady when she essays to ex.
press her opinion in public with urgent
force-or she who will rise in the ballroom
to dance alone for the purpose of attracting
attention, may often be thought by some az
talented, or possessing great presence O
mind-when the true reason for doing so, il
only the absence of modesty. A young lady
may be audacous at first, and it may pleas,
or amuse the fancy, but its continuance
makes her more repugnant than fascinating
Modesty is natural and innate, and canno
be well initiated, unless sustained by mucl
talent, yet the force of education will dc
much to conceal or expose it. Modesty il
a priceless ornament, studded with innu
merable charms; il is seen in the unaffected
step, it is detected in the languid beauty o
the eye-it is known in the music of tn,
voice, it is found in the suifused blush on tn,
cheek, it is seen in the dew filled violet
and discovered in the plaintive sentiment o
the heart. Modesty, worldless as it is, ha
untold power in its patience, and an invisi
bic magic in its grasp, and the young lad!
who possesses intelligence and modesty mus
be beautiful

From the Spirit of the Times,
An "April Fool" Trick.

DEAR "Sp1R1T."-You will excuse this
from stranger, but such good things will
occur on the 1st of April, that 'cove"
can't hold in any longer. A variety of
tricks were played upon the boys about
town and through the parish by the young
ladies'; cotton fritters and corn-bread pound
cakes was no trick at all to what we had to
stand. But what intend to deliver myself
of this morning is Major Bonner's trick on
some young men who dined with him on the
lst.
The Major is widower, and very high
liver. He invited some friends to dine with
him that day. Just as the cook was finish
ing the dinner, the Major went into the
kitchen (before the company had arrived,
and asked her if she had made the desert
She said "No."
"Well, Sarah, want you to make saw
dust pudding. Take flour, cold water, and
clean saw-dust, without salt and for sauce
take soft-soap of the right thickness"
"But Massa," says Sarah, "the geininen
can't eat it,
II don't care d----n whether they do
or not" says the Major.
He then told Sarah it was an April-fool
trick. and that they might laugh then as
much as they pleased, but must look serious
when waiting on the table, which they PROM
ised to do, and did.
When the pudding was put on the table
after an excellent dinner, the Major could
scarcely hold in, but he did for while
helping them all around bountifully. One
of the company, instead of waiting until
all'were served around, pitched into his as
soon as it was set before him. As soon as
the Major saw him take his mouth full, he
could hold in no longer; but instead Of let
ting the cat out of the bag, he turned it off
by saying no had such a good joke on John
Innis, who sat TO his right; on saying which
he went off into tremendous laugh, ant
the company thought it must be very gooc
indeed. Sandford, who had taken the frs
mouthful, was obliged to swallow, but as hi
did he turned to Tao Calvit, who sat next t.
him, and said, "This is a very queer pud.
ding, but | suppose it is some d-t
French dish the Major has heard of, which
requires an acquired taste to like" and OF
the strength of it took another mouthful.
BY this time every mouth was full arount
the table, and such faces never were seer
before. All this time the Major was split
ting his sides with laughter, and pointing a
John Innis. Tao Calvit swallowed on,
mouthful, and whispered in Alex. Innis' ca
that he would die before he would tr,
another. At this time Alex. had his moutl
full, but instead of swallowing it, he gave i
three rounds in his mouth, and discovered i
lathering pretty freely, and out it came al
over the table. As soon as he could speal
he swOre it was soft-soap pudding. A
soon as Sandford heard this. he knew h
was sold. He broke for the door, with boil
hands on his stomach. In about fifteen min
utes, he came in. looking very bad. will

he thought that was coming it rather 10
strong, but as everybody was laughing, h
thought again, and began to curse the cool;

CALIFORNIA HUNDRED AND FIFTY
YEARS Aco.-About the ear l7Ol, mis-
sionary, named Francis Maria Pocolo, pub
lished description of California, from
which we extract the following scientific
statements:
The climate is very healthy. Along the
coast the heat is great, and it seldom rains;
but the air Of the inland is more temperate.
In April, May and June, there falls with the
dew a sort of mama, which congesls on the
leaves Of reeds-sweet as sugar, though not
so white. The country abouuds in large
plains, pleasant valleys, and excellent pas
lures: the rivers contain plenty of fish, es-
pecially xicames and crawfsh. On the
mountains are mescales all the year round,
besides figs of different colors, pistachois
(Pistacia vera) and palo santo. The ma
tives feed on fourteen sorts of grain, and
make bread of the yuca, skirrets (sium sisa,
rum) species of red strawberry, and nam.
moth citrons and watermelons also abound
The land is so good, most plants bear three
times a year. The animals are numerous
among tkem we found two sorts of deer thai
we knew nothing of; one is as large as {
calf, having the head Of stag, the horns o.
a ram the hoof of an OK, and a speckled tail
the other resemble sheep, but have more
wool. As for fowls, there are in Calitorni;
all that there are in Mexico and New Spain
The sea affords plenty of good fish-pich,
ards, acnovies and tunnies, which last ar,
caught with the hands, The shores ar,
covered with heaps of shells. Salt is pro
cured from pits; it is as bright as chrystal
and so hard it is necessary TO break it witt
hammers. The coasts are famous for tn,
pearl fishery. / doubt not but there arr
mines 10 be found in several places, if they
were sought for; since the country is undel
the same degree as the provinces of Gina
lao and Sonora. Yet the Californians
amidst this plenty and riches of their coun
try, content themselves with what is onl,
necessary to life. The inland parts of thii
region, toward the north, are very populous
The common employment OF men and womer
is spinning; they make their thread of Ions
plants, or else Of cotton-lke substant
found in the shells of some sort of fruit
They have great deal of liveliness and ar,
naturally addicted TO railery, but VIC founc
no form of government or religion.
Evil communications corrupt good man

sue towards Mr., Benton, or any other indl-
vidual; SO far as the charge relates to me il
is untrue.

cies of which Mr.. Benton discourses sotlu-

anywhere except in his imagination. There
has been for some time past, and is yet,
great, and, believe, an increasing oppo.
sition here, to Mr.. Benton's political course
that opposition has, however, been openly
and manly made, and the coarse manner il
which that gentleman makes his reckless
and gratuitous charges, against citizens o.
Missouri, will not have the effect as he may
suppose, to divert public attention from tn,
position occupied in the y. S. Senate upoI
the subject of slavery and other importan
matters, nor from his disorganizing cours,
since he has fallen from his pride of place.
