BUILDING TUE PACIFIC RAILROAD. Senator Stanford always regarded the con- struction of the Pacific railroad as the greatest work of his hfe. The company was organized for the work in 1861. One year from that date Congrage pasedan act granting to the corporation a in of bonds ave: $35,000 « mule, princi- pal and interest to be repaid at the exyation of thirty years. In addition to this alteruate sections of unoccupied land on either tide of the road were donated to the company ebsolutely. None of this subsidy could be obtained till fifty miles werg com- Ped and furnisbed with rolling ‘stock. all of the iron and most of the other material hed to be transported from the Atlantic states alorg two oceans and acros® a foreiga country on its way to California, but little work was done till the fall of 1863. and it was not until July 1, 1864, that the first thirty-one miles ‘were completed. From this date commences the les and The next 100 miles lay across a chain of tains, the most difficult to pierce, grad subdue of any in the world. Imagine a series of lofty cones rising one above ther till in distance of seventy miles an elevation is reached of 7,042 feet above the starting point, and that the Proposition was to build a railroad up and ‘across those mountsin peaks and down the other side into the vatie.-, 8,000 feet beiow, and some iden can be formed of the magnitude of almost the first work commenecd by the Pacific pace! ‘Compans. ne ny engineers examined road. and declared it impossible to anes. and Gov.

From the Denteche Revife, There has been somurh discussion concerning | the physical and mental differences between | men and women, and the reprecentatives of so- cial science have expressed so many contra- ctory opinions regarding this question, that I feel it my duty, asa physiologist, to give my opinion on this important matter. Sev fathers of the church have entirely denied woman haga soul. The canonists write: “Wo- man is not formed after the image of God;" and many philosophers in the same maitner have considered women of small consequence. Ina discourse™“concerning the education and culture of women,” Prof. lead of this pessimistic school. The difference between the sexes, to which Prof. Sergi hax | called attention, are doubtless slgnificayt for thropology and physiology, but, ia my opin- ion, do not depend on the original condition of woman, but are caused by the barriers which | have been raised by society regarding her des- tiny. In order fo obtain an unprejudiced ment. we must free woman from the yoke which man bas placed uj We must observe | her in the natural position, where she. re | sents a particular language in the zoological seale. The ladies must now pardon me if I compare them with the lower animals, for in | this way I can the better exalt them. | _ As objects of comparison we will observe the | most intelligent and faithful animals. With re- | gard to dogs and horses we notice litle differ- | ence between either the strength or the tem- | perament of males and females, The hunte: fears the lioness more than the lion, and the same is true of tigers and panthers. Prof. Sergi, in the above-named discourse, bas expressed the following condemnatory opinion: “Neither in her phrsical nor mental capacities bas womaa reached man’s normal scale of development, but on an average has remained wo far behind that this sex seems to have come to a standstill in the general development of the race.” ‘This statement bas sur; me in the highest de- ree. It appears tome that the marks of tho aman race and the real physical characteris tics which distinguish us from the animale are feminine peculiarition. “The principle has been adduced that the structure of the brain shaws the abyss between man and animals. This is incorrect. Thereis no immeasurable difference | between our brain and that of the gorilla, and the effects of the central cavities are shown only in the advancing development of the expres- sions of psychical activity, not in their forma- tion and character. A great morphologi- cal difference between man and the «n- imals is shown in the form of the pelvic. No physician, oven twenty steps away, could mistake the peivis of man for that of an anthropoid ape. ‘The pelvis of woman is | anew type whicl 8 appeared on the earth. Until now we bave sought in vain for that ani- mal which shall complete the chain between us and animals. It is striking. The narrow, high pelvis of the man is more upe-like than that of the woman. If the assertion is correct thut the upright gait (on two feet) is the mark of dis- function, and tho noblest one for man. then | Woman certainly possesses the advantage of a Ivis particularly suitable for upright walkin, arwit: has also demonstrated that female an: | mals often revert to the masculine type, while | the reverse seldom happens. More favorable | | conditions are necessary for the production of | female animal than a male, because the femal mbryo exhibits a greater fulness of life. Sta- tistics have shown that under unfavorable con- ditions more men than women are born; also male animals dic more easily than female. Several judges of the woman question who r that the brain of woman cannot cam- | Pare with that of mau, add that women +bauld | not enter into emulation with men in the men- | tai domain lest they should lose the charm of | their femininity, and because they should give | themselves up completely to their vocation as wife and mother. ‘This divition of the work is certainly very useful for man and has greatly assisted him to his position of power, and bas it hgreatest in this pushed woman into the background. But it is Incorrect that woman loses her womanliness b) cultivating her mind, = blasts that rocked the ground like an carth- quake, the mountains were finally battered down, and on the 28th day of August. 1867, the locomotive ascended to the summit, « point jigher than Mount fashington, the highest peak in New England. 18 OREAT STOCK Fane.
