For the Sluatter Sovereign.
The City OF a.

tory, on the banks of the turbid Missouri,
is situated the beautiful city of a, and one
living in the Sunny South, might imagine
from the Abolitien lies thatare spread ov-
er their land that it was composed entire
|ly Of cut-threats and rowdies. But right
here we will say to them, not to listen to
|snything but come and let your own eyes
view this beautiful spot.
Come in the Spring, when the beautiful
amphitheatre of hills are mantled In their
costume green, and decked with the beau
tiful wild flowers that spring up all over
this eden spot. Come when the whole
city is covered with the white crisp and
view the merriment and pleasure that is
displayed among the young and gsy-all
seem to be working for each others happi-
ness. s1any who have selected this P ace
for their future home, seem to think there
is none superior TO it, for pleasure.
The young men Of this place, we can
with truth recommend as being the most
accommodating and clever, that We have
net with since we came west. The young
men, of this place have been represented,
(bv some Of the small towns, that consid-
er themselves rivals) to be low and dis
pated class, not fit for decent man to as
sociate with; but prejudice alone influences
them to speak thus. We have visited sew
eral towns while in the west and formed
the acquaintance of the most of the Young
men, and none we have found fill the oi!
near SO well, as the young men OF this
Ip!sce.
Ofthe young ladies. we will say nothing
more than the number are quite sbsst !; bu
what few that We have to represent esr
beautiful little city are hard to head ia
ture has displayed the most fascinating en-
b!erns upon each one. The rosy cheeh
and the dark eye. of the western belle are
gucrrilinc the Southern boys rapidly.
Tho city of A has society that is not te
be surpa ssed in any Of the Southern
towns. 1t is true there are not SO muct
wealth and grandeur displayed here, as
in the old cities that have been built fol
years before this was thought Of; but we
have ladies and gentleman that can inter
est the most refined and fastedious. O. N.

CLEVER TRICK AT FRENCH FAIR
Ia clever trick was played off few day
ago at the fair Of Breaute (Seine Inferi
;, eure) 4 well dressed gentleman, saun
: ,ering about with valuable gold-headet
= csne in his hand, was stopped by wretch
: ed ,ooking man. who dragged himself pain
: fully along on crutcbes, and piteously i'm
plored charity. The gentleman, moved I
z compassion, generously gave the begga
a piece of silver. "How can you be s
d FOOLISH cried man standing by; "tha
e fellow is an impostor, and no more lam
I than you are. Just lend me yeur cane 70
a minute, and by means OF sound thras "a
e ing, will convince you of the truth c
% What I say The gentleman mechani
d eally let the man take the cane the beg
: gar, throwing down his crutches ra
:. off as fast as he could. The other, amids
roars Of laughter from the bystanders, IA
e after him. menacing him with the cane
a and SO they ran considerable distance
s when they turned aside into the town, an'
were seen no more. The gentlema
t, waited for sons time, expecting to see tn
s man return with his cane, but the expecta
ton was in vain; it was then clear tha
h the whole scene had been an affair cor
certed between pair of edror. rogues.-
'e The gentleman had nothing for it bat I
to walk home, feeling very foolish at havin
i allowed himself to be so victimized.
