Girls in College.

There is trouble in Harvard college
on account of the admission Of girls as
students, an innovation that was recent
ly made. 1t appears that the college
has large library, provided with "au-
thorities" and sofa seats, where the
students go to refresh their memories
upon certain points in their studies,
and the complaint is that the girls will
get down some work, of which there is
only one copy in the library, and when
a Young man comes in and desires the
same book he is obliged to wait until
the girl gets through with it, or else sit
down and look it through with her. On
recent occasion venerable professor
entered the library, and was surprised
to see no less than six girls with books
that young men were DESTROYS of pc
rusing, so DESTROYS, IN fact, that the
two were seated together eagerly scam

Finance.

New YORK, July 16.-The Post says:
The financial stock exchange market
continues so far as speculation controls
them, to be feverish and unsettled,
principally because there are as yet no
signs OF d termination of the Trunk
railroad war, and because it is a criti-
cal time with crops in that part of the
country, where railroads are largely
dependent on good harvests for paying
the taaffic. This being the situation Of
even those who believe the prices will
rule much higher, but have not cour-
age to buy at present. Many timid
holders are selling, and the only spirit
shown is on the part Of the bears, who
accordingly have the market in word.
then it may be said the bull interest
is slowly liquidating, while the short
interest is steadily increasing, having
the courage of the recent success to
back.

Markets.

MILWAUKEE, July 16.-The wheat
market has presented very interesting
phases this week. Prices are one to
two cents higher. And one of the
more interesting features has been the
relative strength of the long futures.
Ten days ago, September wheat was
two cents under August. This differ
ence has been gradually lessening un-
Ill to-day, when the two options
crossed each other, and August sold
fractionally under September. There
is now no material difference between
cash wheat and the options. The most
conservative grain men now estimate
the deficiency in winter wheat at 3d.
100000 bushels, and in spring wheat at
100000 to 8o,0O0.OOO bushels.
Upon this basis they argue that
there will be keen demand
for all our surplusage during the next
crop year, notwithstanding the fact that
California and Oregon still have for ex-
port some twenty-five millions of the
last crop. The bears find some conso-
lation in the better outlook for the
European tcrop. This is as yet
an unknown quantity. The COM
paratively light receipts in the
western American markets have
formed the basis during the week for
the bull operations. For six days the
receipts at the five primaries have
amounted to 1,1S4,000, against $685.
600 last year; shipments, 100000,
against 1860 for the same week
last year. The total visible supply in
America and on passage for the old
world, is officially reported at 34,70l,-
600, as compared with 30,S60,00O
at this time last year. The
decrease in the visible supply is $751;
600 bushels for the week. No. spring,
seller September, closes at 81, Iii; Au-
gust at $111i; cash at 81, 10; No 2 hard
at $1.16; No. 8 spring at $1.00 to S1.02;
No. winter at $l.09.

The electrician, Edison, comes to the
front again with new invention. BY
means of a new process Of separation
by the use of magnets, the sand on the
seashore is to be converted into what
is known as Swedish iron, q quality Of
metal now only obtained by importa-
ton from Sweden. BY Edison's process
the iron particles are extracted from
sand, which is to be found in unlimited
quantities along the Atlantic, the cost
Of the operation being less than 81 per
ton, including Edison's royalty of 80
cents per ton. The magnetic ore thus
obtained is then converted into blooms,
and is ready for the market at far
less price than that for which the
Swedish iron can be imported. Edi-
son declares that two miles of Long
Island sand beach are worth more than
any gold mine. If 30, There's millions
in it. :"

Elizabeth of Austria.

Empress Elizabeth of Austria, is the
most beautiful crowned lady in the
world. Yet one loves to contemplate
her not adorned with costly laces and
resplendent in hereditary jewels, but
arrayed in the dark cloth dress of cas-
tellans, wives of the olden time, proudly
and bravely refining in fiery horse.
The retreats of old Hungary have
great fascination for her. 1t is among
them that she gallops with a heroine's
recklessness; now dashing at full speed
beneath the shade of ancient trees, now
leaping over hedge and ditch. What
apparition in this matter-of-fact age of
ours is this chivalrous beauty, stately
and imposing as the fairy Of the Black
Forest and fully as benevolent! Her
horse, which fees so often from pal
aces, ever stops before the cottage door.
The Empress is sunbeam to the suf-
fering. This woman with a gentle heart
under an Amazon's breast, cherishes
in beautiful jeweled box, not stone
of great price, but little faded nosegay
of edelweiss, that mountain flower,
white and delicate, as a snowflake,
which Austrian peasants attach to their
buttonholes as sign of love. The little
nosegay was given the Empress by her
husband at the time they were be-
trothed. For the last two years Eliza
beth of Austria has gone to Ireland for
her hunting. This year she will take
up her residence at Combermere Alb
hey. Twenty grooms and horses have
been sent in advance to the Empress
residence. Her suite is composed of
about forty persons of very varied rank,
from chambermaids and maids of hon
or down to cooks and scullions. The
Empress hates all noises, with the ex-
ception of the bugle's notes in the for
est, the rally, the tally-ho, the barking
Of the hound and the chatter of the
horses feet TO deafen the various
sounds in Combermere Castle, there
fore, the fagstones of the courtyard
and the floors Of the galleries and CORR
doris have been carpeted. The En-
press, beautiful now as ever, still wears
a triple diadem of black tresses. Were
it not that she is dark instead of blonde,
one could compare her to Tasso's Her-
NINA. In spite Of her sporting procliv-
tiles her womanly nature continually
shows itself by this and that feminine
peculiarly Thus she daily attaches
to her waist three dark roses, and
wherever she may happen to be these
flowers must be furnished her. A fan
is invariably dangling from her horses
saddle. It is designed with the arms
of Austria, and she uses it often to
shade her weary eyes from the suns
rays. The Empress has an adventur-
Gus imagination. She loves the poets
of old and the legends of the past. It
is perhaps because she herself is liv-
ing poem which has strayed away from
some lOng-forgotton legend?

A large crowd witnessed the depart
ure of the Rodgers, the Polar relief
ship, when she sailed from San Fran
cisco in search Of the Jeanette. The
vessel carries five whale boats and an
ice dingy, and has a house on deck,
forward, in which is the apothecary's
dispensary and bathroom. The Rodg-
ers is provisioned, coaled, differed and
manned for long cruise. Her stores
are sufficient for four years, and could
be eked out to last five years if neces-
sary. She is heavily sheathed with
three-inch oak planks, and in addition
to her regular stationary ship pumps,
she carries two auxiliary steam pumps.
The cruise will be from San Francisco
to St. Berry, thence to Lawrence bay,
along the coast of Siberia. The vessel
is ordered to go as far north as Herald
island. If nothing definite is learned
by that time, different course is to be
pursued, and it will go to Wrangle
Island, along the southern shore, and
winter there. Unless information is
obtained to justify Lieutenant Berry
in remaining longer, he will return by
the end of the second year There are
fourteen officers and crew on board. a
steward, two cooks, three f1remen, and
fifteen able bodied seamen.
