Butterfield at the Ball.
A OALQ-OENiA SKETCH.
RV   JOHN PH__I_.
You have not licanl from me for
som,-; time. 1 have been "around,"
however, which ia a pleasant metaphorical way of expressing the laot
that .( have been about, and is not
intended asan alius ion to myfi rure,
though I weigh two hundred and
forty-three, ami ii, may appear appropriate in scoffers, i have been
attending closely to my legitimate
business, ami tlo not mind saying
that 1 bavo been tolerably sue
cessful. I did a little inbutterlast
week, not after the manner of the
celebrated sculptor, Canova—who,
1 am told, used to carve horses and
others animals out of that ol sagi
nous substance, whichiooked well,
but became unpleasant tothesmell
in a short time—bul in the way of
speculation, which increased my
satisfaction and my balance, A
Doolittle, Walker & Lcggett. nvj
bankers, in no small degree.
I was sitting in mycounting-room
a few tliys .-since, in an amiable frame
of mind, thinking of that butter
which I hail sold to a manufacturer
to grease the wheels of his manufactory, and won-lm-iii-;; whether ite
strength increased tho power of
the machinery, when Podgers, of
Gawk & Podgers Battery street,
dropped in,
8 Btttterfield. said lie, don't  you
want to go to a ball?"
A vision of Mrs Btttterfield,
resplendent in a new dress, which,
though oflate importation, she calls
"more antique," passed before my
mind. 1 thought of the balance at
Doolittle's and in rny usual prompt
and decided manner replied:
"Well, I don't know.'
'-It's a complimentary ball," said
Podgers, "given for the benefit of
the officers of the army an-1 navy,
and comes off at Madame Pike's ou
Friday."—jThe name is Pique, an-1
is pronounced __quee,but Podgers
don't understand French.]
Now, I always liked iho officers,
poor fellows they looked so pretty
in their brass mounted clothes, and
walkaround withsuch _f__l_neholy
air, as though tliey wondered how
they managed to support existence
on their pay and allowance—and
how the deuce ihey do, puzzles me
Ho after a few words more with
Podgers, we started off to purchase
the necessary paste board. I suppose it was because the ball wa a
national affliir that lie went to the
United StatesMint for that purpose
Here we wore introduced to a
singularly handsome young fellow,
who gazed rather dubiously on Podgers and myself when we preferd
our request.
"The ball is to bo very select,"
said he.
"Ah," replied I, "that's  exactly
the reason we wish io patronize it."
The young man could not withstand the smile with  which these
words were accompanied.
"What name?" s.id he.
"Butterfield," 1 replied.
"Flour and pork," said he with a
kindly expression.
"Comer of Battery and Front,"
I answered, and the thing was done.
Podgers got his ticket also, and
we left the Mint, arm in arm, wondering if ilia lovely design f'or a
head on the new three dollar piece
was intended for a likeness ofthe
United States Treasurer, of whose
agreeable countenance we caught si
glanc   as we retired.
Mrs. Butterfield was delighted
so was Austin, I fancy; he sent me
there were   two   in   tlm   family,'I
bought t lat also, and hereby acknowledge that it has  giv**'1-  mfi
gi eat s il isfaction.
Friday evening at last arrived.
Po I .ers was lo come ior us in a
oarriag. ai 8 o'clock, and we com-
■',! dressing at 3, immediate!.
ifter dinner. My friends hsive
sometimes 11 ittore 1 me hv remarking something in my airs,ml per-
onal appearance resembling
I ite Daniel Webster (formerly Secretary of State under Tyler's administration) After dressing, :n<\
going through ihe operat on which
eirs ButterSeld unpleasantly ies- q_
prinking, I walked into tne room
of our next neighbor—we board
at the corn, r of Stockton and Powell—under the pretence of borrowing a candle, lie was sitting by
ihe iire. smoking a cigar simi re. d-
ding Tennyson's o,-ms, whieh I
take sill opporl unity nf declaring
are ihe silliest tn, ii 1 ever had the
misfortune to get hold of
"Mr. Brummell," said I complacently, "do 3-011 think I look at
all like the great Daniel?"
Brurnm-ll gazed on me with
evideei admiration.
"Yes," he replied, but you art
not near as heavy as he was."
"No?" saisl I. "Why Daniel Web-
btcr was not a very i irge man. '
"Oh!" replid he, lT thought you
alluded to Daniel Lambert."
This wan a damper.
We  worked    for  three  mortal
hours getting little Amos to   sleep.
That child is two years of age, possesses a wakefulness of disposition
perfectly  astonishing    in   one   so
young, and lists a pleasing peculiarity of howling  terribly  in  the
night at intervals of about twetitv-
tive minutes.    Paregoric and taffy
were two much for bim tills   time.
however; lie succumbed at hist, and
dropped  peacefully to  repose  at
half-past seven  to   a  second.    At
eight,  Podgers  and  the   carriage
arrived.    Mr.<.   Podgers   came up
in Mrs  Butterfield's room to show
her elf    'ihe    was  taetfully   and
magnificently  attired.    She   wore
a v, hi!, crape  illusion  witl:  eigh
teen flounces, toe-- a profusely embroidered tulle skirl. loi.ped np on
the one side with a boquet of bViS;
meringues.    Her  bodk-e was   ofa
sea-green, tabinet,  with an elegant
pin   cushion   of   orange    colored
moire   antique over    ihe   bertha
Ber head dress  was composed  of
cut   velvet   cabbage leaves,  with
turnip   au   natural,   ami   a small
boned turkey secured by a golden
wire, "a Ia maitre d'hotei" crownetl
Use structure. Podgers gazed upon
her with complacent and pardonable pride.
We descended to the carriage,
but finding it impossible for all of
us ta ride within, Mrs. Podgers stood
up on the seat with ihe driver, Mrs.
B. antl I got inside and Podgers
walk ,d. [By-the-way, on this account he subsequently, in an unjustifiable manner, objected to paying
his portion ofthe expenses of" trans.
porration, as had been agreed U| on
between us] On arriving at Mrs
Pique's, I regret to say, an unpleasant altercation took place between
myself and our driver on the subject ofthe fee. I was finally compelled to close the discussion by
disbursing ten dollars, which that
disagreeable individual  unnecessa-
busbands ami fathers,
quadrilles were form id,
I'owed the fancy dances, polkas, re-
downs, and tbat funny dance where
the g, ntleman grabs the lady about
the waist with one hand, and pumps
her arm up and down with the
other, while hopping violently from
side io side, after the maimer oi'
that early a-:d estimable Christian,
St. Vitus.
I cannot pretend to enumerate
she ladies, whose charms partacu-
orly impressed me. Moreover, if
1 could, it wonld he of little service
to the public, for il is in the iiisl.i ,_

went off admirably, Wobbles, of

of nine years, with a vi lent propensity to long curls, dressed in

pretty way of saying poetical things,
remarked with great originality
that, " soft eyes spoke love to eyes

A CARD.
" Having noticed in one of the
on i g papers, a few days since, a
comn unication from one Butterfield, et ntaining certain insinuations
calculated to do serious damage to
sny reputation, I feel called upon to
indignantly deny every allegation
therein , nntained, and, to save trouble, to deny, Istly, that I ever went
to the ball; .illy, that I ever went
in o die supper room; 3dly, that
thej* did not succeed in gettiu
sugar chi ken away from me, for I
have it y t; and lastly, in refusing
to pay my share of the carrfogahire.
It was stipulated that the carriage
hire should not be higher than s-'2 ■■•
head for the ladies and $1 each foi

was said at the time of the intention of Mrs.   Butterfield to wear a
whalebone balloon called askirt

order on blocks of wo.nl. and in tliis mnnuer tliey
printed the voc»bula.y called a •Oatholicon-' But
with these forma or blocks, Ih y could print nothing else, hecause the characters could not be transposed in these tables, but were engraved thereon
as we have said. To tliis invention succeeded a
more subtle one, for they found nut the means of
cutting the forms ofall the letters in the alphabet
which they called matrices, from which again they
cast characters of copper or tin of sufficient hardness to resist the necessary pressure, which they
had before engraved bv hand. Aud. truly, as I
learned 30 years since from Peter Opilio (Shoefferj
de Gernsheim, citizen of Men ta, who was son-in-law
of tho first inventor of this art, great difficulties
were experienced after tho first invention of this
art of printing, for in printing the Bible, before
they hud completed thi. third quarter-nion (or
gathering of four sheets) 4.000 florins were expended. This Peter Schoefler. whom we have above
mentioned, first servant, and alterwards son-in-law
to the first iuventor, John Faust, as we have said
an ingenious h\ad sagacious man, discovered the
more easy method of casting the types, and thus
the art was reduced to the complete state in Which
it now is. These three kept this method of printing secret for some tltne until it was divulged by
some el their workmen, without whose aid tliis
art could not have been exercised ; i t was first developed at Strasburg, and soon became known to
other nations. And thus much of ihe admirable
and subtle art of printing may suffice—the first iu-
ventors were citizens of Mentz. These three first
inventors of printing, (vidilicit,) John Guttenber-
ger, John Faust, and Peler Schoetler, his son-in-
law, lived at Mentz, In the houso called Zum Jun-
.gen, which has ever since been called the print
ing office."
The invention of Schooner, which, whatever
might have been its first mechanic;*.! imperfections
-undoubtedly completed the principle of printing,
is more particularly described in an early docu-
vment which ts given in several learned works on
■typography, as proceeding from a relation of Faust.
It is as follows:
"Peter Schoeffer of Gernsheim, ptrceiving hi;
master Faust's design, and being himself ardently
■desirous to improve the art, found out (i,y the
good providence of God) tlie method of cutting
l_e characters in a matri*-, that the letters might
■each be singly cast, instead of being cut. He pri-
ralely cut matrices for the whole alphabet ; and
■when he showed his master the letters cast from
■these matrices, Faust was so pleased with the eon-
it.*ivacice lhat he promised Peter to give him his
only daughter Christiana iu marriage—a promise
which he soon afler performed. Hut there were
at first as many difficulties with tlies*. letters as
there had beeu belore wiih the wooden ones, the
metal being too soft to support the fore*, of th-
impression; but this defect was soon ren.eiJed by
mixing tbe metal with a substance which sufficient
ly hardened it.'' John Schoeffer, son of Peter
C'-i'ilinns this account: " Faust and Sclioefi'.r coti-

The '■ ... ■ Pout

By permission of the recipient, we   give publicity tothe fallowing characteristic letter from
our venerable ex-Sen-tor :—Missouri Democrat
\V,_.u..gto*., Wed-ae-thy, March 12, I Sad.
My Dk.r Sir:—•_ have to thank you for year
kind letters, and for at] tbe friendly sentiments
-h.-jiiv--.eii. aad oi these the personal part is mosi
agreeable. Tb- personal fae]in-__ of my frienos

b    l can.   latl    lor  tin;   i'Y_sideuev.   and am QOW
rom it than over. Nu earthly consider
ation could make me a candidate. The Senate
was once agreeable to me, when there was achauoe
to do something for tbe State or the United States.
But that chance seems now to be over, and all
statesman, hip reduced to a hurrah on one side or
the other of Slavery. "Even local interests in our
State eeem to be crushed under it—as the Pacific
Railroad.
lam now far advanced in my second volume.
The publishers are about five hundred pages deep
in the printing, and I am a hundred pages ahead
of tiie compositors in the writing. I rise at daybreak, and wotk till mjdntgbt, with an interval ol
one or two hours1 recreation on horseback. As soon
as my work is finished, which will bo some time
in April, I shall come to Missouri, and, of course,
shall bave tn speak—to what extent I do not know,
but certainly only for the general purpose ol aiding
my friends and the Democratic cause, and without
any view to a personal consequence. Congress
is no longer desirable to me; politics have run
down too low to have any attraction for me. I
spent thirty years of my life in a contest of great
principles—of great measures-—of great men—and
cannot wear out the remainder of my days in a
slavery agitation, either ou the one side or the
other.
I have work enough marked out to occupy the
remainder of my life, and ofa kind to be pleasant
and profitable to me, if not beneficial to a future
generation—which I think it may be. I propose
to abridge the debates of Congress from 1789 to
1850; also, to continue my history from 1850 to
the day ol my death. This is work enough for
me. and of more dignity (to say nothing of anything else) than acting a part in Slavery agitation, whicli is now the woik of both parties, and
which, in my Opinion, is to end disastrously for
the Union, let which side will prevail. A new
man, unconnected with th_fcgitation, i_ what the
country wants.

from the Mountain Aiessenget, Sth inst., that the
Eureka Quartz Mining Company, have, within the

A Strange Story.—The Sacramento Spirit of
the Age recently related the following :
A villain paying his addresses to a young lady
n the interior ofthe State, and being repulsed by
her parents proposed an elopement, to wbich
hesitatingly consented. He accompanied her to
this city, and slopped at cne of our principal hotels; when finding he could not accomplish his
unholy desires, he deserted her, leaving her friendless and penniless. She was acquainted with no
one in Sacramento, and being unsophisticated,
could obtain no employment. She feared the anger of her parents were she to return home ; and
at length, while in the most utter depression of
sp'nts, concluding that she wns lost forever, proceeded to a prominent brothel on Third street, do-
fermined t--adopt the life ofa prostitute. Knocking at the door, she was met by Ann Mc—— , i
resident in the house of pollution, who, hearin*-,
the girPs stcry, warned, advised and entreated
her to return home and all would be forgiven and
forgotten—generously offering to pay her passnge
there. The girl was still afraid to retrace hei
steps, but at the earnest pcrsuas-on 0f the othei
decided to do so, and without judgment, proposed
staying at the brothel until the stage wouid call
for her. To tliis Ann demurred saying, trulv.
that were she seen there her character would be
irretrievably lost. The girl concluded to rely on
A Oil's judgment, who procured her a temporary
a., j'ium at a dress maker's house with whom sb
was acquainted, paid her passage and had the
Btijge l-i call for her, thus lesoulng a soul from
parditioi*. VV'ho will not say that Ann did nobly ?
A ' i how i -w ol her fins, troul'd have acted simi
larly. This leed will overbalance many sitifu
ones ; and wh n the Reei-rding Ange] shall ejhi

CALiimitN-i.il. Oats A.m» Mcst____>.—Some of tht
Indians who live in Mon t.rey. loruerlv neophyte?
ofthe mission, of Santa .. _ez aud San Luis Rey.
Inform us that they have n -.wordsin the lauguage
of their tribes for oats or mustard ; they only u
the Spani li terms fur those pi'.ants, and assert that
both were brought into the country by the ru s-
sionary priests, and have only ->een known to
them since that period. The mustard is uow found
covering immense districts of the /ertile bottom
aud prairie lands of lhe coast valleys of onr St ite,
from San Diego to San Francisco, As yet but lit
tie of it is found in the Sacramento or 1'ulare valleys. The oat is now found covering mot-'t ol tho
hills and valleys of Calilornia, and particularly on
those soils which contain nitrate of soda, mixed
with a soluble salt of silica. It would bo a ct.
ous subject of investigation, how much of out
State is covered with wild mustard aud oats. Th'
oat covers millions ifacres.
It is highly probable that mustard is an exotic
plant, as it is affirmed by tho old Californians, na
live aud foreign, that there was a time, as the old
Indians invariably asserted, when there was no
mustard in California. Of oats, the case is not so
well made out, as California is rich in varieties of
indigenous gramminse. There is a species of wild
rice fouud ou the Tulare lakes, which is much used
by the Indians thereaway for food, and is said to
be highly nutritious. Tlie Indians of Monterey
have no words iu their language for mustard ot-
oats.—Monterejj   Sentinel.

The Catholic Church.—The Bishop of Mon
terey has been making confirmations diiriu-r the
past week to crowded . ssemblies in this town.
He left our city on last Thursday lor Sau Juan
aud the north.
A meeting was also hold at the Bishop's house,
of the principal Catholic families for the iiiirpose
of proposing plans lor lepairing t o uld Cuincn

a good prospect ot some ot the noli old deiUHittw

A telegraphic despatch from Washington, April
5th, communicated by a correspondent of the Alta.
says :
" The appropriation for the Indian service in
Oregon, was forwarded last evening to tho Governor of that territory. It is designed to keep
peace with the friendly Indians by gifts, and to
buy peace with the hostile tribes.
The appropriation above alluded to, is $420,000,
Adjournment of Conuhes-. -It is supposed
that Congress will adjourn tbis year earlier thau
usual, notwithstanding it is the long session, as
tbe two houses are of oppo.ito politics, and nothing can be gained by continuing the session.—
Besides this, it is supposed tlte members will be
anxious to take part in tho canvass in their own
districts.
Rather Hard.—The ooutraotors for supplying
the San Fcaucisco City Prison with bread have refused to furnish any more of that article un.il the
City pays them what she owes. The prifotiersbiul
beeu two or three nights without auytbiug to eat
whatever.
