Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quaeks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates dupe
the unwary. Some of the self-styed 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 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
you nothing, and may save you many regrets ; for,
as advertising physicians in eight out of ten
are bogus, there is 10 safety in trusting any of
them until You know who and what they are. 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.

LIVE BEEF STEAKS. s.-An nAbyssinian corespor

LIVE BEEF STEAKs.-An Abyssinian correspon-
dent relates the following incident:
Three of the officers of the Fourth Regiment
saw, the other day, at Fokada, an operation which
was described by Bruce, but which has been de-
MED by all subsequent travellers, and by the Abys
sinians themselves. This was the operation Of
cutting a steak from the body of living OK. They
came upon the natives just as they were in the
act of performingit. The unfortunate bullock was
thrown down, and its four legs tied together. The
operator then cut an incsion in the skin near the
spine, just behind the hip joint He blew into
this to separate the skin from the flesh, and then
cut two other incsions at right angles to the first
and then lifted flap of skin four or FIVE inches
square. From this he cut out lump of flesh, cut
ting with the knife under the skin, 30 that the q
mount of flesh taken out was larger than the por-
ton uncovered. The operator then filed up the
hole with cow dung, replaced the flap Of skin,
plastered it up with mud, united the feet of the
poor animal, who had kept up low moaning
while the operation was going on, gave it kickto
make it get up, and the whole thing was over
should mention that the operator cut two or three
gashes in the neighborhood of the wound, appar-
emily as sign that the animal had been operated
upon in that part The officers observed that sew
eral cattle in the herd were marked in precisely
similar manner. They returned in half an hour,
and found the animal walking about and feeding
quietly. have not mentioned that it bled very

LONG FAcEs-What sad mistake it is to sup
pose that man should be gloomy because he is de-
vout as if misery were acceptable to God on its
own account, and happiness an offence against his
dignity. Amodern writer Of much wisdom and
pith of writing. says:
'There is secret of unbelief amongst some men
that God is displeased with mems happiness, and
so they slink about creation, ashamed and afraid
to enjoy anything!'
These are the people Of whom Hood says
'Tbey think they're pious when they're only bill
iousl"
A good man is almost always cheerful one
1t is fit that bad men scowl, look blue and melan-
choly, buthe who has Gods smile of fapprobation
upon him should show its radiance in his counte-
nance. Dr. johnson said he ''never knew vii
lian in his life that was not on the whole, an un
happy dog" And well he may be. And an hon.
est man-the man with good sonscience-let him
enjoy his Sleep and his dinner, and the love Of his
wife, and the prattle of his children, and show
beaming face to his neighbor. Surely there is no
worse theology than that which teaches that He
who has given such fullness of joy to beast and
birds, delights in the misery of men or, that hav-
ing been filed with gladness, we ought to give the
lie to His goodness byswearing faces beclouded
with woe, and furrowed by pretended unhappi-
ness.

The GRAVES AT ANDERsoNvLLE PRISON GEM
ETERY.-About 1000 yards northwest from the
prison pen, and about $4,000 from the railroad
station, is the cemetery in which are buried about
$4,000 men. The first 300 were buried in cofhns,
the next 900 were covered with boards and boughs,
and from that number to H. ,s49, the bodies were
buried shoulder to shoulder, in trenches about
three feet deep and six feet wide. About 1000
bodies have been brought here from Macon,
Americas, Columbus, Rupaula, Albany, and other
points in the vicinity.
The various States of the Union are represented
in the cemetery as follows, viz: Alabama l3;
Connecticut, 2sl Delaware, As; District Of Co
lunba, 14 Illinois, 9lO; Indiana, 624 Iowa, ZIG;
Kansas, s.; Kentucky, 1856; Louisiana l Maine,

Vermont, 24O; Virginia, 279; Wisconsin, 354; U.
s. army, 546; u. s. navy, SO. Six men, who muir
dered the sick, were hung by their comrades-they
are buried separate from the others. Three women
were discovered among the prisoners and are bur-
led among the soldiers. Each body in the cemetery
has numbered stake, with regiment &c, with the
date of death. The cemetery is on level piece
of ground, and is in some places, soft and sinking.

A LOYAL M1LrTA-A writer, whom the New
York Post describes as "a careful observer and o
gentleman of independent Judgment" gives that
paper his impressions of Southern affairs obtained
by six weeks tour through seven States Less
than week for the study of the condition OF
State with which the writer had no previous &C.
auaintance, scarcely entities his impressions to
much respect, and the article itself shows that the
impressions were obtained through highly colored
Radical glasses. Under such circumstances the
letter might have passed without notice, but tor
the following paragraph:
eff the new constitutions are carried, how many
of the States can protect their citizens and main
tain republican government South Carolina is
the most sure to do this She will elect General
Scott governor, Mr.. Cardoza, an educated man Of
color Secretary of State, and Mr.. Chamberlain,
late an officer of the Fifth Massachusetts colored
cavalry, Attorney General. General Scott is a
man Of force and character, and aoith q small or
ganied loyal militia, he aoiH maintain order under
almost any circumstances.
The Italics are our own. Now hasty as was the
trip of this careful observer, and gentleman Of
independent judgment" is it not probable that in
the fraction of week allowed tothe study ofSouth
Carolina affairs, although unable toobtain any cor
rect idea of the Carolnians themselves, the opin-
ions and policy Of the Radicals Of the State may
have been learned by communication with their
leaders in Charleston and that therefore the writer
is correct in his prophesy Of loyal militia.

SHOCKING ELopEMENT.-This community was
greatlyshocked on Sunday at learning that young,
good looking white woman, or girl, for she was
only thirteen years Of age, had eloped from her
parents with negro man by the name of Wash
Smith, formerly of Anson county. Up to the
time of writing nothing has been heard from them.
Their object is doubtless, to 60 to some other
county or State to get married. In this, we sup
pose they will have no difficulty, as their right to
do so has been held by some of our military COM
manders, under the Civil Rights Act The par
ents of the GIRL we learn, are respectable, and this
occurrence must be sad blow to them. The
father has offered reward for the apprehension
Of the ''thief," but we scarcely know what adVan-
tage his arrest will prove to him, further than the
recovery of his ruined daughter, and even this he
may be unable to effect.
It is scarcely necessary to speculate upon this
occurrence. The moral is plain to all, and it is
much to be feared that such occurrences viii, soon
er or later, become frequent, as one Of the conse-
ouences of the teachings now prevalent in the
country among certain classes.-Salssbzy Old

and brought down my writing desk. There were
some sheets of paper and some delicate envelopes

down and looked at the paper. Then l went tt

my elbows, and began to write. This is what

THE EMPRESS EUGENIE.-A recent letter from
Paris thus deity sketches this lady, about whom
so much has been written: unlike the French
women-who are short and dumpy, especially in
middle life-the Empress is queenly in form, tall,
slim, and stately Unlike the French women, whose
compilations are dark, sallow, and even dingy, the
Empress face is as white as alabaster. Her eye
is clear, but piercing her smile captivating her
brow gracious Arrayed in her regal robes, she is
magnificent. Everything about her is in keeping.
Her taste is unequaled. Everything is in proper
ton, and one part is suited to the other. She
knows what will agree with her complexion to the
exact shade of ribbon. You can suggest no al
teration in her DRESS On state occasions when she
greets the public eye she wears everything regal
and stately that becomes her station. On ordl-
nary occasions her dress is very plain, very simple,
yet very taking. Her hat seems to be the central
point of her dress. If it is brown or blue, green
or crimson, her gloves, scarf, ornaments, and ap-
parel correspond. Her spirits are exuberant, her
disposition joyous and she seems disposed to enjoy
her position. On her last visit to England she was
the guest of the Queen. A review was held in St.
James's Park in her honor, which she beheldfrom
the balcony of Buckingham Palace, in company
with Victoria and Napoleon She was joyous as
school girl She clapped her hands and shouted
in her French style like little girl at the grand
display. Her buoyancy and gleefulness of manner,
not to say frvoity, shocked the dgnifed and sober
Queen of England; and more than once Victoria
laid her hand on the shoulder Of her fair visitor,
and reminded her that while such outbursts Of feel
ing were perfectly natural, they were not rcgall'

ONIONS AND EplDEMIcs.-In tho spring

men on shipboard, with the cholera among
the men. We had onions, which number
Of the men ate freely. Those who did so
were soon attacked, and nearly all died. As
soon as made this discovery their use was
forbidden. After mature deliberation
came to the conclusion that onions should
never be eaten during the prevalence of
epidemics, for the reason that they absorb
the virus and communicate disease, and
that the proper use for them is sliced, and
placed in the sick room, and replaced with
fresh onions every few hours. 1t is well
established fact that onions will extract the
poison Of snakes this | personally know.
Some kinds of mud will do the same. After
maintaining the foregoing opinion for cigh-
teen years, / found the following well attest
ed: Onions placed in a room where there
is small pox will blister and dccomposc with
great rapidity not only so, but will pre-
vent the spread Of the disease. l think
as a disinlectant they have no equal, when
properly used but keep them out of the
stomach. IF need be, the foregoing (which
l have greatly abbreviated can be attcsted
on oath.

the subject. JonN B. Wolf.
