SALUTEs AND SALUTATIoSs.-A lady must
never first recognize gentleman by bowing
before he can salute her. She is sole judge
of whether she wishes to appear to know
him. Should she recognize him, he should
raise his hat from bis head with the hand
that is farthest from the lady. and return her
salutation with a slight inclination of the
BODY. He must not claim acquaintance Of
his own accord, neither should he of necessi-
ty consider he has been "cut" because the
ladv did not recognise him. 1t is quite
possible she may not have observed him. A
lady need not stop in the street to speak to a
gentleman she knows. Should she do so,
however, the gentleman should at once stop,
no matter how urgent his business. He can
at least stop time enough to say be cannot
stop any longer. When the lady wishes to
end the conversation, she makes an inclina-
:inn of the head as a sign thereof, and tie
gentleman should at once take his Leave
If the lady moses onwards, still talking, the
gentleman should turn back and walk with
her. Married ladies can do as they please in
these matters. 1t is not etiquette for young
unmarried ladies to do more than bow to
gentlemen of their acquaintance if they meet
them in the street. unless, of course, the
gentlemen are related to them. Mrs. Grundy
would, however, perhaps object to COUSINS
being included among the privileged class.
Unless a lady is intimately acquainted with
gentleman, she should merely bow, not
give her hand, when meeting him. In her
own home she may-even she should-wel-

An EXTRAORDINARY PHYSIOLOGICAL FACT.
The question as to whether certain lm-
pressions brought forcibly to the mind of a
pregnant woman can react upon the unborn
child in such manner as to mark it to alter
its development, has often been disputed by
medical men but circumstances have been
brought under our notice recently which tend
to confirm the soundness Of the theory. The
facts we are about to relate are 80 extraordi-
nary that we feel it necessary to state that
our authority is unquestionable before pro
ceeding further. Most of our readers must
have noticed, at some time during their
perambulations through the city. an unfor-
tunate woman, dwarf and cripple having
been born without arms, and who supports
existence by asking for aims, which the
charitably disposed deposit in tin slung
round her neck. 1t has often been remarked
that cases of deformity such as this should
not be suffered to be paraded in the streets,
not only because the sight is repulsive, but
because, in wealthy and munifcent city
like San Francisco, provision should be
made for the maintenance of those unfortu
mates who have been deprived by nature CT
accident, of the means of earning their own
subsistence. Municipal governments, how
ever, are something like gunpowder, you
must apply fire to them if you want them to
90 off; and they seldom or never bestr
themselves until the evil, which has been
for months complained of by the public, cul-
inmates in some irreparahle disaster, and
brings about their ears a storm of inaigna-
ton, which alone can rouse them from their
official torpor In the case referred to by us
we are informed that very serious effects
have been produced by the exhibition Of
deformity mentioned. Two ladies, both of
whom were about to increase their families,
saw the cripple on the street, and the i'm
preston of her deformity conveyed to the
minds. has actually resulted in the birth of
two children, destitute, like the dwarf beg
gar, of arms. 1t need scarcely be added
that the mothers are bitterly afflicted, and
perhaps this case will have the effect Of
stirring up the proper authorities to remove
such objects from the public streets, before a
whole generation of armless Californians is
brought into the worlds. f. Times.

A Bibulous Innuendo.

Some years ago, when the Total Absti
nence excitement was at its height, and the
Maine Liquor Law was the great social
question of the day, called upon George
Kendall. of the New Orleans Picayune, at
the Office of the Harper Brothers, then in
Cliff street. George was running his new
book on Mexico, through their press at the
time, and having been acquainted with the
course on the most intimate terms with all
of them.
James, the Mayor. was at the time a
leading apostle in the Temperance cause
and used occasion ally to rally George upon
what he thought to be evidence of an undue
bibulous propensity. Your face looks
rather reddish this morning. George; Pm
afraid you indulge Which Kendall GER
tainly did but always in modcration-neyer
to anything like excess.
After sitting few moments, George said
TO his younger brother, Fletcher:
Fletcher, where's jim? where's the
Mayor? | want to see him.
He's in the library room, replied
Fletcher, entertaining a committee of old
women from the Martha Washington Tenn
perance S.ciety. They hold meeting at
ihe Tabernacle tomorrow night, and the
Mayor is going to preside

and see him. % Come, Clark aided
Kendall, let us see how the city's chief
magistrate looks in council
George raped at the door.
Come in, answered the Mayor.
Kendall opened the door slowly. as if in
hesitation, glanced askance at the eight or
ten old women, winked knowingly at the
Mayor, and then said, with an inimitable
maudlin Jimmy Twitcher air.
Jill linn, let us go and take another
drink !"
1t is not often that any one can fuster
James Harper; but, you better believe he
was fustered OH this occasion. He looked
horror stricken at the very idea. he re-
turned the astonished gaze of the ladies'

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 sefstyled 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 are tinsmiths, 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 1863 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
are bogus there is safety in trusting any of
them until you know who and what they arc. Dr..
Gibbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
titles, certificates pretended patients letters, &c.
DR.. Gibbon will satisfy persons who may call at
his office of his ability to treat diseases that he
proposes to cure.
