EDUCATED WOMEN.
Does Their Learning Decrease Their Mat :
rlmONlaI Chances. 500. - & 1

sASss
rimOnial Chances,
The discovery has lately been made
hat but a small per cent. of the women
Who have graduated from colleges in
his country are married, and the
question of the effect of college learning
lpon domestic life seems about to be
IS gravely discussed as was the now
lead one of its effect upon feminine
health. The Vassar catalogue is the
ext oftenest quoted, but Vassar is only
one college, and it is better to take the
register of the Associated Collegiate
Alumnae, which contains the names of
500 women, graduates of the II lead
ing women's colleges and co-education-
al colleges in this country, OF these
women, III are married, less than 81
per cent of the whole. Any extended
personal acquaintance with educated
women, as with educated men, shows
that the emotional nature tends to
grow with the cultivation of the intel
lectual, but at the same time to be-
come less hasty and uncontrolled.
Feelings are deeper. but based more
upon sound Judgment. Partly for this
reason, and partly because the college
graduate Is necessarily not a very
young girl, reckless marriages, or
marriages in which the woman is
totally imposed upon as to the charac-
ter of her love, are particularly un-
known among them. Again, personal
acquaintance can give but one answer
to the question whether college life re-
places the domestic disposition in wom-
on by ambition; and that is, that on
the contrary the quiet aud earnest
pursuits of college develop to
unusual strength in them the taste
and fitness for home life and for
the occupations and companionship of
a happy marriage; that any influence
toward the losing of domesticity and
drying up of unselfish affection through
a students ambition seems to be in
tinitesimal as compared with the same
influences through the ambitions of
society and display, which the student
escapes.
But this very disposition toward re-
fined home life and worthy companion
ship makes them more fastidious in
their choice of a companion, and would
seem by that much to lessen the prob
ability of their marrying. The ability
to ''get along" without marriage, pro-
vided none that is for it's own sake de-
sirable offers, seems, in actual obser-
walton, to give full effect to this
fastidiousness. 1t seems evident, too,
that many men dread Or dislike
the idea of college women; but we
doubt if this affects their opportunities
of marriage perceptibly, for it regu-
lates itself-the men who seek their
society are the ones who do not like COL
lege women; and in any case, so far as
we have been able to observe, the dis
like is far more to college women in
general than to Portia or Aspasia in
particular, and does not seem to inter-
fere especially with falling in love
with her. It is common enough to see
intellectual men choosing wives of lit
tic mind or knowledge; but it is also
common to see them, when older,
wearying of the insufficient companion
ship, and consciously or unconsciously
seeking the friendship of intellectual
men and women outside to supplement
it.-Orerland Monthly.

THAT BoTToMLEss PIT,

The Erie railway company, which is
at present laying q double track on
its Jefferson branch between Car
bondale and Susquehanna, has met
with very formidable obstacle at u
place called Ararat summit. Seyor-
al days ago tho ne W track sank near
'ly two feet, and has boon sinking ev-
er since. The same phenomenon
was observed in 1875, when the road
was fret built. One day in tho mid-
die OF the summer OF that year the
railroad for nearly o quarter of
mile disappeared entirely from sight
and an immense marsh, apparently
bottomless, appeared in it's place.
An effort was made to fud out how
deep il was, but the largest timbers
that were thrust down into il 70 und
no obstruction. The company
dumped into the pit 100000 carloads
OF rock and gravel aud 800 immense
hemlock trees, branches and all, but
every bit OF it disappeared. 1t took
four timbers, each abont forty feet
in longth, to reach solid fonnda~
ton. II is said that ma,y years ago
IN immense Lake covered this place.

EDUCATION IN POLITICS.

for The bettor in American politics Of
to-day from that of few years since.

were distinctly drawn and political
"bosses' held full sway, it looked ae
though whole counties and even
States were in the hands OF A few
men TO sway aud throw them il the
balance on whichever side ". the
scale would best servo their interes,
aud purpose Fraud and corruption,
as a matter OF course, ran parallel
with such o state Of affairs, and the
better class OF American citizens
were in somewhat OF a quandary to
contemplate where all this would end
ana how the power of the bosses
could be broken. II seemed in those
times that no matter how glaring the
