Bread Powder.

One year Captain K, being off duty
on the Pacific coast, pitched his temporary
tent on shore, among the California miners.
lie spent his time in shooting deer, then
very plentiful in the locality be selected, and
occupied hut conformity with an old Span
lard, lineal descendant of Pizarro. Hard
by, another hut was teDanted by one Johnny
Scott, a Texan ranger, and by one of the
greeneet youths, very appropriately named
Green.
One morning Captain Kobbett had been
engaged in baking wheat-cakes on griddle.
The deer fat with which he had creased the
pan, had taken fire and been extingulshed,
but as result, there were few black specks
in the bread. Green happening in the cap
tain invited him to breakfast
Wall,n said Green, . swan, this here S
the best bread I've eaten since I've been in
the diggins light and tewthsome but
what's these here little black specks in it %

Powder !"
Yes-gunpowder, the best yeast in the
world.'
BY gosh ~ said Green, g never heerd
of risin' bread with powder"
81 never heard of making good bread
without it. Put in plenty of powder, knead
it into dough and you'll be sure to have your
bread light as feather"
Green went back to his hut with new
wrinkle.
g Scott. said he to his friend, "Fve been
down to Kobbett's and eat the all fredest
good bread ever sogged my tooth into."
Well"
wall, he telled me his secret. It's the
peowder done it. Ever you heerd tell of
risin' bread with peowder ?''
Never heard of making good bread with

at a flash, and relating some corroborative
military experiences.
F" Scott" said Green, I'll tell you what.
Tomorrow morning I'm going to spread NV.
SELF Darned if we don't hey light bread
once, eanyway; darn the expense and hail
Columby !"
The next morning Green rose bright and
early. and went to work kneading his bread
Scott rose up in his bunk, and superintended
the operations.
How much powder have you put in ?''
he gravely inquired
About five fingers" answered Green
Amt that enough for you and me?"
Pshaw :" said Scott, '' It'll be as heavy
as lead"
Wall, them" replied Green, suitiug the
action to the word, +" here goes the hull
horn. Darned If we don't have one GOOD
batch. !"
Just before he was ready to put the bread
into the pan, Scott said that he'd stem ont
and be back in five minutes.
Making his way to Kobbett's ranch. he
encountered that worthy officer.
I" Well, said the captain, whats un p

FIRST MONDAY IN APRIL,
Enter upon the performance of his official duties
for the current year. lie would call particular at
tention to the following section of the Revenue
Law:
d" If any person shall willfully make, or give
under oath affirmation a false list of his, her
or their taxable property, false list of taxable
property under his, her, their control, such per
son shall be deemed guilty of perjury, and upon
conviction thereof, shall be punished therefor, as
is by law provided for the punishment of perjury
and any property willfully concealed, removed
transferred, or msrepresented by the owner any
agent thereof, to evade taxation, shall upon dis
covery, be assessed at ten times the amount of tax
for that year, which would otherwise have been
assessed upon it and fifty per cent of the amount
OF such additional tax, when solicited shall be paid
to the person or persons who shall furnish the
information which reveals the property conceal
ed transferred removed or misrepresented, and the
remaining fifty per cent, after deductlng the usual
per centage for collection, shall be paid into the
Treasury, for the benefit of the Common School
Fund of the State
Attention is also directed to the following section
of the Act of 1866, relating to Shasta county:
" The Assessor of said county is authorized and
it is hereby made his duty collect all the poll or
per capita tax except the road poll tax, and the
taxes upon all movable personal property and upon
the entry of any assessment OF movable personal
property, to any person, firm corporation, associa-
ton, or company, who does not own real estate
sufficient in the opinion of the Assessor to insure
the payment of such tax within the county, to de-
mand the payment of the taxes upon the same /;
and if such person, firm corporation, association,
or company shall refuse or neglect to pay such
taxes the Assessor shall, by virtue of the power
herein vested in him, proceed to collect such taxes
in the same manner prescribed by law for the Col
lector.''
If Tax Payers were to have list of their pro-
perty prepared, ready to be sworn to, as the law
directs, by the time of my reaching them, they
would thereby perhaps save themselves much an
noyance, as well as facilitate my work.

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates, dupt
the unwary. Some of the selfstyled doctors
whose names are 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 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 eases out of ten

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