A sale ie recorded OF four-1ftha of tho vast
property belonging to tho Contral Pacific Cali
forum Railroad Company. This is probably tho
largest transaction oyor made in railroad prop
erty. THO corporation owns and controls about
1900 miles Of railroad besides steamboats, and
ferries, valuable real estate in san Francisco
aud othor places, and important privileges and
San Francisco, 900 miles another from sacra-
mento to San Francisco 100 miles; lines running
through tho oontro Of tho State to Orc
gon in tho North. and connecting with
tho Southern Pacific In tho South,
about 400 milos; aud the Napa Valley
Road, 80 mics. It il reported that Tom Scott
and others have bought tho Southern lines In
tho interest Of the Southern Pacilo. -Four
flftha Of all the rcst Of tho property hare been
transferred to company Of San Francisco capi-
ta1ists, represented by D. 0. Mills, lato presi-
don't Of the Bank Of Cnllfornia, William Sharon
aud 4. r. Cohen, two San Francisco capitalists,
and Michael Reeso, who has boon connected with
tho corporation in confidential capacity. Tho
amount Of money which changed hands in the
transaction is not atated, but 1t must hayo been
very large as /. represents the stock aud
control Of the Comuany's entire property. The
other ono-dfth is retained by Leland Stanford,
one Of the Original owners md now the Preei-
dent. The Springfield Republican draws atton-
tfon to the fact that this transfer breaks up
combination Of lyo men, consisting Of Judge
Crooker, his brother Charles Crockor, LELAND
Stanford, g. P. Huntingdon, and bIark Hopkins,
wIo wore tho first to ciyo lifc to the project
Of spanning tho coutinont with an iron
| rail, aud who arc entitled to tho
credit Of that practical patriotism which
has boon claimed by certain Eastern capt.
taliHts who did not 50 into tho project until after
thoBo gentlemen Ind demonstrated its practica-
bility and profit. Another significant circu1n-
stance Of tho change is said to DO found in tho
fact that tho tranHfor is directly in the interests
Of San Francisco, which have been sacrificed to
the interests OF Sacramento heretofore. The
now party in control ia composed entirely Of San
| Francisco capitalists. It is also predicted that
the affairs Of the Company will hereafter be
! managed more in tho interests Of tho public than
| heretofore.

Tho Board Of Trustces of the University Of
Chicago, at their meeting last week, passed. d
resolution to admit young women to the regular
college classes, though to exclude them for tho
present from tho Academic Department. There
is roason to bolieye that tile action WAS hnBty
and inconslerate. Tho suggestion Of the policy
camo from 4 committee Of ladies, and tho
grounds for its adoption were stated to bo tho
original purpose Of tho University to extend its
educational faciltieB to all clagsos. The main
1oaBon why this policy Is premature ia that It is
experimental, and the University Of Chi
tion favorable to trying experiments. It
would be much moro judicouB to
leave 1t to Oborlin, Cornell, and othor colleges
which have startod out with the purpose Of
opening their doors to both aexos alike, to Bolyo
tho problem OF tho joint education OF tho sexeB
The attention of tho Trustees WAS called by
President Burroughs to tho fact that tloro arc
rs yot no accommodations In tho UniyorHity
building for young ladies', and that thoro should
DO some preparations for their admission before
tnla raGucal C1lnHes Ino 1Acl III, tuAt tAo uait"
vcrsity ia not now in the position to undertake
these preparations. It is carrying largo debt,
evon in It's present unfinished condition, and it
hos problems and difficulties enough forced
upon 1t without voluntarily assuming that
OF tho co~cducation Of tue sexes. Another
error seoma to lie iu the opening
OF tho collegiate course to young women,
which is modelled aftor tho strict and inloxiblo
curriculum Of the Eastern colleges, whilo tho
academic classes aro ahut out from the membera
OF tie female SOC. This policy Ia directly op-
posed to the experience Of oo-eaucatiou as far as
it has progressed. Tho studios ut Cornell are
eolootio, and tho tendency at Oborlin il to give
tho girls creator freedom Of choice than thoy
can lnd in tho regular college course. Yhe Of
foct OF the policy adopted At tho University Of
Chicago ia precisely tho royerso. There arc col
leges aud univorsities enough now open to
young women as we'll as young men to supply
| tho prcaont demand for the highor education oi

present position, would hayo louo vol, porhRps,

Ihe dispatches III our Inst 1Hsuo contain the

intelligence is brought that tho farmers Of
Northern Minnesota arc constantly exposed On
their return from marsot, aftor selling their

poses Of highway robbery. From these reports
1t would scom that mn organized syetom Of law

Shakespere's Handwriting.

1t is nothing less than marvellous that
a man who wrote as he wrote-and alto
gether. no man ever wrote like him
that poet, the author of such plays
and such poems; tlat man possessing
so many friends and admirers, with
whom his correspondence must have
been extensive, should not have left a
single line behind him traced by his
own hand. Of all his poems and plays
here does not exist page, line sim
tie word, in manuscript. All Shakes
peare's manuscript plays could not have
pcrished in the fire that destroyed the
Globe Theatre. The author must have
made little account of them himself; but
how great would our estimation be OF a
single act of any one of Shakespeare rs
plays, in his own handwriting We
have just now among us aparallel to the
tulip mania. Thousands of dollars are
willingly paid for picture which the
same number of dimes would once have
purchased. Rather, let us say that the
dimes were given for the picture, and
that the dollars by thousands are given
for the painters name. Well, what
would not Oe WllllnSly pau (lol thc S"he
of Shakespeare's name) for the original
manuscript say of Hamlet? There
would be fierce fight among competl-
tors for even a single passage. Wefancy

Where They Got Their Shells,

There is not much lime in the sea-
probably not more than there was in
Falstaff's sack"-but there is enough.
And the use it is put to is one of the
crlriosities Of natural history.
Every inhabitant of the ocean which
has shell derives the materials of
which that hard covering is composed
from the water. Besides, the lime is
secreted or rather separated from its
food, as birds do it for making Cover
ing for their eggs, mollusks take up the
largest amount directly out of the water
they breathe. Every time an oyster
draws water through its .gills, some of
it's lime, which is held in solution, is
taken possession of by appropriate
vessels and goes directly to the living
membrane which deposits it, and thus
the shell grows. 1t is assured that a
single drop of sea water contains only
about the ten thousand six hundredth
part of n grain of lime. But the in
cessant respiration of the dweller in one
or two years makes a house weighing in
some cases many pounds. When the
animal dies most of the shells gravitate
and aggregate to the bottom, where,
beco ming broken and impacted into
solid masses, mixed in fine earthly de-
posts under immense hydrostatic pres
sure and chemical forces, they become
marble. All marble quarries are sup
posed to have thus originated in the
abysses of primitive seas, and were
afterwards elevated to where they are
found by upheaval.
