Something About Returned Manu-
scripts.

Some months since the Easy Chair,
says George William Curtis in Harper'S
Magazine, endeavored to soothe the
minds of authors who are naturally
disappointed by the return of their
manuscripts, by plain narration Of
the facts in recent ease, where the
writer was sure that the editor had been
caught tripping, and had even returned
a paper without reading it, Indeed,
there seems 10 he n widespread sus-
picion that this particular wrong to the
author is very common, and manu-
scripts are often received for examina-
ton. This fact enables the Easy Chair
to remind poets and other kind cOntri-
butors that they have not probably
found it necessary to read "Pollock's
Course of Time" from the first word to
the last to determine whether it was
a poem TO their taste. and to suggest
that few pages of Upper undoubted-
ly authorized them to pronounce upon
his comparative merit with Milton and
Shakespeare. Is it really necessary to
read every page in book to discover
that it Is not worth readingp If a
manuscript of 500 pages or less, there
fore, be intrusted to the editor for ex-
animation, it is not necessary for him
to ponder every page in order to reach
a satisfactory opinion of its suitability.
So, if the stitch ingeniously inserted
from pages forty to fifty be intact when
the manuscript returns, it does not de-
monstrate that the editor has betrayed
his trust. In the instance to which the
Easy Chair" has alluded, the author
cited dates and poslmarks to prove
that the paper had been returned with
out examination. The author was I'M
doubtedly of that opinion, but few
plain words from the editor were con-
elusive upon the point that it had been
carefully considered, and had been de-
clined for reasons perfectly satisfactory
to the editor. To complain that they
are satisfactory to him is TO complain
that he is himself and not another.
For it will perhaps occur to every
writer who sends paper for consider
alton that he sends it because he thinks
it to be peculiarly suitable for pubica-
tion in the magazine, and consequently,
if the Judgment of the author should
decide, it might be properly assumed
that everything which is submitted
would be accepted. In that event, the
world would not contain the volumes
of magazines that would be printed.
But the Easy Chair has never alleged
that articles are accepted or declined
solely upon their abstract merits. On
the contrary, any such judgment is
carefully disclaimed, and it is an
nounced plainly that the verdict is
so.ely upon the ground of
availability. The Easy Chair is of the
opinion that the editor would have re-
turned Jonathan Edwards treatise
upon the will had it been offered for
serial publication in the magazine,
but solely for the reason that he did
not think it TO be suitable for the
magazine. So, if the correspondents
epic, or lyric, or essay, or sketch, or
tale, or whatever his offering may have
been, was returned, it was not because
it was thought not to be meritorious,
but because il was not available.

The Triumph OF Women.

The successive triumphs of women
over the deep-roOted prejudices of the
dominant sex against unbarring the
citadels of the higher education to wo.
man, make sure the overthrow of all
remaining obstacles to the admission
of "man's lesser SELF to the ripes,
harvest of science. art and literature,
wherever, in fact. she has inclination
and ability to toll. In 1913, the first
medical college for women in the world
was opened at Boston, amid storm OF
protests from women and men. In
1850, the Female Medical College was
opened at Philadelphia. Another col
lege of this kind was opened at New
York in 1868, and another in 1868. Since
then, several more have been estab-
lished in the east and west. In 1884
Oherlin opened its collegiate course to
women. To-day, many higher educa-
iional institutions like Boston Univer-
sity, Cornell University. University of
Michigan, Vermont University, Johns
Hopkins University, confer degrees up
on women; and certificates are given
at Harvard 10 women successful at ex-
aminations. The movement in this
country has powerfully influenced the
old world. Even Russia, after u long
struggle and several prohibitive ukases
an imperial decree in 1873 gave women
access to the schools, and woman $
college was opened at Moscow in con-
nection with the great university OF
that city. In Paris, after Mile. Daubre
succeeded through much tribulation,
in getting her diploma from the med
ical faculty in 1861. the great Ecole de
Medicine gradually opened its doors to
female students. and to-day thirty or
forty women are studying for medical
degrees there. Since 1874 women have
had access to the great University of
Leipzig, and graduate from it. In
Italy the universities are all open TO
women. In Austria women have studied
at the University of Vienna since 1870.
In England, London University is open
to women, and Oxford, Cambridge,
Edinburg and St. Andrews give GER
tificates to women passing examina-
tions. Thus, all over the civilized
world, women are treading education
al ground over the boundary Of which
was formerly written: mo thorough
fare for women here"

An Awful Scene.

An eye witness to the great disaster
on the Bradford, Bordcll and Kenzua
Railroad, says: ut was the grandest
and vet the most awful scene that hui
man eyes ever witnessed. For dis
tances of nearly half mile the road
bed was covered with oil and paints.
1t was over the rails, and the moment
the gas came in contact with the fire
box it exploded and fired the oil. In
less than one minute the engine and
cars were enveloped in flames, great
black pillars of smoke assembled heav-
onward; the driving wheels of the en-
CINE went dashng along at the rate of
forty miles an hour, scattered the oil
over everything with a rush and roar
which might have been heard for
mile. The flames leaped fully go feet
ahead OF the locomotive, which was
thus compelled to run through veri-
table sea of fire. 1t was terrible race.
and the only parallel | can remember
is the oil train which burned up near
Brocton, n. Y, few years ago. How
the engine r, train hands and the men,
women and children escaped is some
thing that only Providence can explain.
1t was sight to MAKE the strongest
heart shudIer. never want 10 see its
like again.
