ery, be assessed at ten times the amount of tax for
that year. which would otherwise have been assess

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware Of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates, dupe
the unwary. Some of the sef-styed doctors,
whose to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers Of San Francisco and other
places, are tradesmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades Some arc tinsmths. shoemakers,
newspaper carriers, intelligence Office keepers, &c.
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1868. The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets for,
advertising physicians in eight cases out of ten

them until you know who and what they are. DR..

MTSORLLANEOUS.
Romance of the Ballet,

Last winter wealthy Cuban conceived an
e1travagant passion for quite 4 pretty young
woman dancing at leading Broadway (New
York; theatre wrote to her and solicited an
interview. He poured his passion out in
burning words, aud offered to pour out his
gold as freely; but she informed him, as the
celebrated English actress did her OPulent
adnlirer, that the way to her favOrs lay through
the church. He sought to shake her resOlu-
ton, but in vain, and in despair of possess
ing her otherwise he made her his wife. lie
tired of her in a few weeks, and as his rela-
tons were violently opposed to such an ALI
ance, he soon deserted her and returned to
Havana.
Too proud to follow him, she went back to
the stage, and during the month of May a
clerk in a commercial house down town fell
in love with her, and went through the same
experience as the SPaniard. Hymen before
Venus for her; and so the young fellow with
a degree Of dishonor characteristic of an old
er and cooler heart, eutrapped her into a
false marriage. His employer accidentally
discovered the deception, became interested
in his pretty danseuse, and apprised her of
the clerks villainy, assuring her he should
be compelled to wed her, if she desired it,
by due process of law.
Esmeralda declined to have anything more
to do with the rogue, and released him I'M
eonditionally. The merchant was SO much
struck with the woman's spirit and beauty,
that although he knew she had twice con.
scented to marry in cold blood, he proposed
matrimOny to her, and for the third time she
accepted. Certain legal steps are necessary
before the last nuptials can be consummated;
but the commercial lover is desperately en-
amored Of her, aud has already placed her in
a handsome mansion, and made her deed
of the property, with 5000 for pin money.
His friends arc indignant, and aver that he
Is infatuated. But he swears he loves her,
and Will marry her, as soon as practicable.
She says she Is deeply attached to him for
his kindness to and sympathy with her, and
Is now leading very quiet and exemplary
life
Her jiuncee is nearly forty, and has long
been sought as a husband in modish circles

now, and there is little doubt that he will
wed Esmerelda this winter, and snap his fin
gers at comment and criticism. She will
join Grace Church; be passed upon by Brown;
ride to morning services with gold-clasped
hymn book, and look ten times more as if she
vas born to it than many of her sex who
