SHocco.-Sce an interesting letter in another COL
umn, from the Petersburg Express, dated Shocco
Springs The tournament, to take place on the
attract large crowd. By the way, we see that our
friend of the Warrenton Ne,os has been to Shocco
He returned to his sanctum delighted with his trip
Our neighbor of the Register, it will be remcm-
bered challenged to meet him at Jones' and
Shocco, and we accepted the challenge. Our little
"affair of honor" was unusually interesting We
went, we saw each other at Jones, and We mutually
conquered. Our neighbor was deliberate and firm.
He bore himself just as he should have done on
such an occasion, except that once he was somewhat
startled and lost his equilibrium by the premature
popping of champagne bottle. We excused him,
however and our second, COL T., overlooked the
circumstance, seeing that our neighbor and antago-
mist was not used to such reports.
And now, but for the advanced age of our neigh
Dor, would challenge him to tilt the tourna-
ment or the 18th at Shocco. That is consdera-
ton, however, which puts it out of our power ac-
cording to the code, to call him to the field That
he would go, if challenged, we make no doubt; but
then, while we would appear as the Knight of the
Handsome, he would be there as the Knight of the
Venerable and Rueful COuntenance We have no
doubt that in tlt-the best horses of course being
provided-our neighbor and ourself would miss the
ring five times out of five. We should thus be even
again. leaving him, however, the advantage which
must always be accorded to a Knight who at his
age enters the lists against an ardent and enthusi-
astic youth fke-ourself!

ES- DIR. l.. y. CZapkay is the only Ply
sician and Surgeon now in California, who has ac-
cumulated fortune solely by the practice of his
profession. He has a classical education, and ad-
ded to the talents of physician and surgeon, he
is gentleman of easy manners, and possesses a
frank and open heart. These qualities have CON
tributed much to his great success but that which
has done more for him than all else is the uniform
candor he has shown to his patients. He neverde-
ceves them, but tells them with sincerity and hon
esty his opinion of their diseases. Though posses
sing confidence in himself he never vituperates
other gentlemen of the profession; and from our
acquaintance with him, we believe he strives reli-
giousy "to do unto others, US he would that they
should do unto him."
