Recent Publications.

ID. Appleton & Co., New York, have pub
lished very handsome new edition Of The
Vision; or, He'll, Purgato,y and Paradise of
Dante Aighieri, translated by the Rev. Henry
Francis Cary. just at this time when the ap-
pearance of several new translations of the
"Divina Commedia" has quickened the gene
raj interest in the work of the great Floren-
tine, there naturally arises fresh demand, for
purposes of comparison, for Cary's version,
which has been the standard one for nearly
fifty years, and which, whatever may be the
merits of the others, can never cease to have
great value. The Appletons havemet this de-
mand with a very beautiful volume, finely
printed and tastefully bound. 1t is illustrated
with twelve outline engravings after the fam
Gus designs of Flaxman, and has for a front.
ispiece the "Last Portrait of Dante. A life
of the author, a chronological view of his age,
and concise and useful index complete the
contents of the volume. (Received by Hall L.
Davis.)
From John Wiley 4 Son, New York, we
have Time and Tide, By Weore and Tyne, be-
ing twenty-five letters on the laws OF work,
written to workingman of Sunderland, by
John Ruskin. When Mr.. Ruskin discourses
to us about art we listen to him with respect,
because, however extravagant his dict0 may
sometimes be, we at least feel tha. he knows
what he is talking about. But when political
economy and social science are his theme, lie
fails to impress US with similar conviction.
His ideas on these subjects seems to be strange
ly confused and illogical, and the maxims he
lays down with such an air of authority, are OF
very unequal value. Sometimes he gives
brief passage so true and admirable that 1t
reads like page of Mills philosophy clothed
in Ruskin's vivid and poetic language; and
the next moment he relapses into strain only
too suggestive OF the brutalities of Carlyle.
But it is claimed that genius has a law of its
own; perhaps it is not fair to hold a ma like
Mr.. Ruskin to any rules of logical consistency.
AT any rate, whatever he writes people are
sure TO read. (Received by Short & Loring)
Samuel II Wells New York, has issued
Life in the West; or, Stories Of the Mississippi
Valley, by NJ. G. Meeker, of the New York
Tribune staff. 1t is very handsome duodeci-
mo volume of some three hundred and sixty
pages, and contains a great number of very
well drawn sketches of the distinctive and
| characteristic features of iie in the West with
with some simple and touching stories. The
| vivid and peculiar life of that region is well
| worth depicting; and we see no reason why
the book should not be popular one (Re-
ceived by Bailey & Noyes.)

r, ,ry,,s. 1ssr,r,,-r -we would snooes

TEACHERS INsTITuTE-We would suggest
to the County Superintendent, the propriety
of holding the coming Teachers Institute in
Mokelumne Hill. Although not so central
" located as some other towns in the county,
it certainly possesses superior advantages IN
other particulars which are entitled to con-
sideration in selecting a proper place for
holding the Institute. In the first place,
Mokelumne Hill is the largest town in the
county, and the Institute would be more
uumerously attended, and greater number
of people benefited by holding it here, than
anywhere else. Secondly, better accommo
dations can be furnished teachers and others
who wish to attend, from distance, than
elsewhere. In addition to these reasons, it
is our turn, now. When we had the glory,
honor and profit which the possession of the
County Seat conferred upon US, we never
asked for any little etceteras in the shape of
Conventions, Institutes and "sich" like !;
but now that we have been denuded of our
glory, stripped of our honor, divested of our
profits and brought down to the level of our
sister towns, we claim an equal share of the
-.foating' spoils. We are decidedly in fa-
yor of the next Teachers Institute being
held here, and think that if justice is done it
will be.

HARPER'S BAZAAR.

THE PUBLISHERS WILL COMMENCE,
i on November lst. the issue of HARPER's
BAzAR, Weekly Illustrated Family Journal.
devoted to Fashion and Home Literature.
Their aim is twofold: to supply the existing
need of Weekly Fashion Newspaper, and
to combine Herewith frst-class Literary
Journal, which will be indispensable to every
household.
Arrangements have been made, at an i'm
mense cost, with the most celebrated of the
Fashion Papers of Europe, especially with
the famous Basar of Berlin, which supplies
the fashions to the leading journals of Paris,
to furnish the same to them in advance. so
that henceforth the fashions will appear in
HARPER's Bazaar. simultaneously with their
publication in Paris and Berlin-an advant-
age enjoyed by no other journal in the
country.
The patrons of HAkPER's Bazaar will re-
ceive every fortnight large pattern-plates.
containing from forty 10 fifty full-sized pat
terms of ladies'. misses, and children's bon
nets, cloaks, dresses, under-clothing. and
other articles, accompanied with the neces-
sary descriptions and directions, and occa-
sionally an elegant Colored Fashion Plate of
the size of HARPER'S WEEKLY.

Government Countcrsign.

The countcrsign of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is now a somewhat more serious as
well as difficult business than it was few
years ago. each bottle Of the genuine article
being authenticated by the official indorse-
ment of the United States Revenue Depart
ment in the form of stamp engraved on
steel, to counterfeit which is felony. Sec,
therefore, that this Government COuntersign,
as we'll as the engraved label and note of
hand of the proprietors, is attached to the
bottle. The label is embelished with a su-
perb representation of St. George on horse
back, in the act of spearlng the Dragon,
and underneath is a shield or escutcheon,
bearing a warning inscription. which couu-
terfeiters are advised to read before they
encounter the penalty which is set forth.
Below this again is Hostetter Il Smiths note
of hand, the signature to which it would be
rather serious business to forge. If the
public will look to these verifcations of the
genuineness of the article before they pur-
chase. they cannot be deceived. The propri-
etary label and Government stamp are both
executed on steel in the most elaborate style
of bank-note engraving, and are probably the
most expensive specimen of graphic art ever
attached to any medical preparation.

preparation which at once braces and tran-
quilizes the nerves. Persons of lymphatic
temperament and feeble organization are es-
pecially subject to these complaints. and
should take the Bitters daily, as an invigor-
ant. Ladies will derive great benefit from
them in all the peculiar physical and mental
disturbances to which, as tex, they are
subject. AsafGtida, valeraine, and the other
nervines usually prescribed for these afec-
tions, at best merely alleviate them for the
time being but the Bitters are permanent
invigorant. and their value as remedy for

Constitutional Weakness.

1t is great thing to have sound and Wig
orous constitution. There is nothing that
money can buy comparable in value to this
best gift of nature. The difference between
the individual who has it and the unfortu-
nate who has it not, is just the difference be-
tween the man who goes into the battle
clothed in defensive armor and one who has
nothing to oppose to sword and bullet but
his naked breast. 1.-The pestilence that

stroyeth at MONDAY" while it lays low the

the native strength Of what is called an Iron

Heaven. however, has not endowed even a

blessing, and therefore it behooves those who
have it not, to resort to those most efficient
means of constitutional invigoraton which
science can supply. There is good warrant

Il the trees do not differ more widely than
the forms of nervous disease. Sometimes
both the mind and body are affected. some
times the body only, and often the complaint
is confined to single member. In one class
of cases the motive nerves alone are disor-
dered- as in st. Vitus' Dance; in another class
the nerves of sensation only are attacked. as
in neuralgia. tic douioureux, toothache, ear
ache. &c. Pain is. in fact, the immediate
consequence of a disturbed condition of the
nervous system; for only through the deli
cate fibers of which it is composed can pain
be experienced. Tremors hysteria; and
most of the unpleasant feelings usually in
cluded under the head of nervousness. arise
from the weakness of these sensitive threads
