The Diamond Dickens

DAVID Communicable third volume Of
Ticknor q Fields diamond edition of the
works of Charles Dickens,is David Copperfield,
one of the finest creations of the inimitable
genius of the first living English novelist and
humOrist. Who that has read this work does
not wish to read it again? does not remember
the good Peggoty, the amiable Steerforth, the
volatile Copperfeld? 1t is the work of mas
ter, and will be read by our children, and our
grand children, with ever-increasing delight
and pleasure. The world is deeply indebted
to Dickens for his efforts to elevate humanity,
no less than for his delightful creations in the
literature of fiction. The book is printed and
bound in the same neat and compact form as
those which have proceeded it, and as work
OF art has no superior, The edition, when
completed, will form the prettiest and most
convenient edition of the works of Dickens
ever issued in America, and we are glad to
know that it is having an immense sale. For
ty-five thousand copies have already been
sold up to the date of the issue of David Cop
perfield; and it is not too much to expect
that 10000 copies will be sold the first year
This work will be found on sale at the store
of s. G. johnson, at ST. each for the illustra-
ted volumes and $125 each for the plain
When these books can be had so cheaply, we
wonder that any literary person will be with

uary next, from the Slavery House to the Cap
itol-one mile, which will be very great con.
venience to the state officers as well as the
citizens generally.
The public schools of the city are in good
condition, with able and experienced teachers
and a full attendance ofpupils. There are fouI
large brick school buildings; a fine one on cap.
itol hill, completed last year at cost OF
5000 This, the high school is under the
superintendent of Prof. e. A. Roberts, late Of
Norwalk, Ohio.
The other three are ward schools, and all Of
them well conducted.
In addition to these there are the Des
Moines University; the Des Moines Female
Seminary; the Iowa Law school, and the Cath
Ollie school, in charge of the SISTERS ofcharity, -
attended by most of the catholic children Of
the city to the number of 325 or upward
All of these schools are represented to be in
a fiourishing condition, which speaks volumes
for the liberality, and enlightened views OF
the citizens of Des Moines; and still in addi-
ton to the above should mention the Iowa
Business College, which is said to be in pros
porous condition.
Before closing allow me briefly to refer to
the earthquake shock which was experienced
yesterday at about quarter to three O'Clock
p. m. The trembling of the earth was quite
perceptible' here. At the time | was in nv
room and sat at the table writing, the first
sensation l experienced was of the swaying of
the floor and an unsteadiness of the table,
such as to cause me to stop writing, this con-
tlnued for or o seconds as near as i can Judge,
and after an interval of perhaps twice this du,
ration,a similar agitation or quaking was felt,
and little stronger or more violent than that
experienced at the tirst,-and sufficient to
cause the chandelier suspended from the cell
ing of the room to sway or vibrate like the
pendulum of clock; and pictures hanging on
the walls to move in like manner.
That we were treated to a genuine earth
quake there is no doubt whatever; it was
slight of course, and causing no damage here,
but still we were shaken by one of those mys-
terious waves which some hidden power at the
centre, occasionally sends out to the surface
of the earth, -perchance to remind vain NOR
tails how utterly weak and insignificant they
are in the, presence of that BEING at whose word
"the Earth shall melt with fervent heat, and
the Heavens be rolled together as scroll"

TRIAL OF THE New PEAT M1LL.---The trial
of the new peat mill, which has been in course
of construction for Messrs. Simeon Mills, of
Madison, and H. Richardson and G. f. Griffin,
of this city, at the Badger State Works, for the
last month, took place Friday, and resulted
in perfect success. wagon load of peat
weighing about one ton, was taken the same
day from the bed, and used at the trial and
was put through the mill in ten minutes, grind
ing ii to fine pulp. and thoroughly prepar-
ing it for drying, without further manufacture.
Several gentlemen wer present, among them
owners of the Leavitt and Rae mills, who ex-
pressed themselves satisfied that it would
eventually supersede all other mills now in
use for grinding peat, on account of its SIM
plicity of construction and the rapidity and
certainty whit which it does its work One
other important feature should be mentioned,
and that is, the cost will be from $500 to $500,
whereas other machines of much less capacity
cost from $500 to 8, 900. A public trial of this
machine will take place, at the Badger State
Works in this city, at 10 O'clock noon, on
Wednesday the oath inst, and all persons
interested in peat, are invited to be present.

TO CURE CONSUMPTION, the system must be

this tho liver and stomach must first be cleansed and
an appetite created Tor good wholesome food, which,
by these medicines will be digested properly, and
good healthy blood made; thus building up the
constitution. SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS
cleanse the stomach OF all bilious or mucous accumu-
lations; and, by using the Sea Weed 7 aic 10 con.
nection. the appetite is restored.
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP is nut7icious
as well as medcinal and, by using the three remedes
oil impurities expelled from the System, and
good, wholesome blood made, which will repel all
disease II patients will take these medicines accord
ing to directions, Consumption very frequently In
its last stage yields readily to their acton Take the
pills frequently, to cleanse the liver and stomach It
does not follow that because the bowels are not cos
tive they are not required, for sometimes in darr-
ho9a they are necessary. The stomach must be kept
healthy, and an appetite created to allow the Pull
monte Syrup to act the respiratory organs properly
and allay any irritation. Then all that ia required to
perform permanent cure is. to prevent taking
cold. Exercise about the rooms az much as possible
