Married in Fun—How Two Young Men were Captured. The Albany Journal tells this story: "For some time past there has been in existence in this city a sort of society or club, composed of young ladies and gentlemen, and formed for the cultivation of their histrionic tastes, and to prepare themselves for a life of future usefulness upon the dramatic stage, as well as for social enjoyment. The rooms in which they massacre Shakespeare and tear Dumas to pieces are situated on State street, in the part of the business portion and the unusual sounds incident to high tragedy, emenating therefrom have no doubt often attracted the attention of (he passer-by. But these rooms, the scene of so many mock representations, beheld something a few eveiiingssincefar different fnm any tiling ever before enacted within their walls—no less than a comedy in real life. "On that certain evening the members of the club assembled as usual, but, in consideration of it being the holiday season, a motion to dispense with the dramatic exercses, and betake themselves to various methods of social enjoyment went with much favor, and was unanimously adopted. For a time the minutes flew merrily by in the various games usually indulged in at social parties. These, however, soon became monoionous, and a number of feminine and masculine heads might have been seen in closc proximity, devising some new mode of entertainment. Their ready wits were for a time unable to discover anything which would serve to amuse, until at last a young lady, her bright eyes brimming over with merri-ment-ami mischief, proposed a mock marriage, "just for tun, you know." This proposition was eagerly seconded by another bewitching damsel, anil as it seemed impossible that either of them had any ulterior object in view, the new divertissement was agreed to by all. "Preparations were immediately made for having the interesting ceremony performed with alldue solemnity. A young law student volunteered to act in the capacity of officiating clergyman, while two other well-known young men gladly agreed to accept the duty ofgoiug through the formula with the young ladies aforesaid. All things being in readiness, the two young couple were joined_together, strictly in accordance with the text of the service, and solemnly pronounced man and wife, amid the delighted laughter of those who acted as spectators at the success of the plan. Many were the jokes the newly wedded were made the victims of, and which were heartily enjoyed by the young husbands themselves.

All this was well enough so far, and continued so until the time arrived for separating. "The husbands had donned th'eir coats and hats preparatory to a departure, and had already bade the.rest good-night. But at this juncture a change came over the spirit of their fun. The young wives were not going to allow their new-made lords to leave them in such a cruel, un-husband-like manner, and insisted on their rights as wives being given them, claiming that the marriage was just as legal aud lawful a? though cemented by a°real minister, inasmuch as each of them jnade a public acknowledgement to take the other for better or worse, before witnesses. The young gentlemen were completely nonplussed by this unexpected termination of the evening's eivjovment, but of course, flatly refused to consider themselves bound by the farcical service performed. In this interesting state he affair now stands, and will, no doubt, if the young ladies persist in their determination, givej^me of our lawyers work to do."

A Wisconsin clergyman failed to keep an appoinment to preach in one of the churches of that city on account of the "duplex arrival of the mail," as he wrote the committee. His wife had twins.

The southwest suburban part of the city is in ruins, and seems helplessly given up to the range of the Prussian fire. The damage to buildings in the neighborhood of St. Jacques is great, and when the dispatch left was proceeding. The genera! impression was that neither life or property in the vicinity were safe. The battery at Ciaremont is doing the Prussians good service, and the report already received that the accuracy of its tire was telling with great efiect, is confirmed.

Mr. Scott presented a communication from a committee representing the Pennsvluania Legislature, the Common Council and Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, giving reasons why the celebration of the centennial anniversary of Independence should lie held at Piiiladelphi, July 4th, 1876. Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

Mr. Thurman submitted a resolution directing tho .Secretary of the Treasury to inform the Senate whether an account of receipts ahd expend:turesfor the Government for any fiscal year since that ending June. 1803, has been published, as required by the Constitution and laws, and if not, why not.

Mr. Sherman objected to present consideration of the resolation, when it was laid over.

On motion of"Mr. "Williams the Senate took up the House resolution for a joint ocean cable committee.

Mr. Biyard said the passage of the resolution through the House had been effected, he would not say in an underhand way, but certai dy without that honorable degree of deliberation, which was essential to the dignity of the publi" business. He was unwilling to consider iuistilv the resolution which had been slipped through another branch of Congress! He preferred to await some Ic,ritimateexpression of the sense of the House on the subject.

Mr. Wilson remarked that ocean cable enterprises were deserving of encouragement, therefore he wanted definitive action oti the subject.

Mr. Williams was satisfied the House would not reconsider its action, but after what had been said he would not pK«s the matter.

The Senate went into executive session anclsubsequently adjourned until Mon-

House.

The House proceeded to consideration of private bills. The House passed the Senate bill authorizing increaseof issue of five per cent, bonds to five hundred million dollars, with an amendment that the total amount of the Issue shall not be increased.

Mr. Hooper, from the Committee on Ways aud Means, reported back the Senate "bill authorizing an increase of five per cent, funding bonds, to five hundred millions, interest payable quarterly,

with amendments leaving payment of

interest quarterly to the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, and providing that the total amount of funding funds shall not l»e increased. The amendments were agreed to, and the bili passed.

Mr. Dawes introduced a bili to establish the salaries of officers of the Treasury Department. Referred to the Committee on Appropriations.

The House then, at 1:40 o'clock, v/ent into Committee of the Whole, Mr. Scofield in the chair, aud resumed consideration of the legislative, executive and judiciary appropriation bill. The appropriations for the Department of Agriculture and Education gave rise a to protracted discussion.

On the subject of education, Mr. Iloar declared that there were more ignorant people to-day in the district of Columbia than in the whole Kingdom of Sweden, and that out of a population of 800,000 persons in Territories which were under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress, there were only 40,000 children educated in schools.

Mr. Garfield referred to prison statistics, showing that 98 per cent, of criminals have learned no trade or handicraft, and that 24 per cent, of them have not learned to read.

Mr. Farnsworth thought that if the argument was worth anything, it would justify the establishment by Congress of a Department of Mechanics, rather than a Bureau of Education.

Mr. Cox moved to strike out the whole paragraph relating to a Bureau of Education, and remarked that a parly was coming into power which wouid regulate that bureau by abolishing it.

Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, said that although his State could derive no benefit from a Bureau of Education, he would vote to sustain that bureau for the sake of those pails of tho Union wPNeh had no system of free common schools.

Mr. (-ox's motion to strike out (he paragraph, was rejected. Without going further on the bill, the committee rose.

West Point Military Academy, from being ill-treated and persecuted on account of his color.

Mr. Randall: Let him behave himself. Mr. Cameron objected.

The House then adjourned, at 4:C0, until to-morrow.

Education of Women.

The business education of women is almost entirely neglected. They are taught accomplishments by the score, but the education that would make them self-reliant, and develop a higher degree of intellectuality, is thrust aside as superfluous, or of little or no use. If woman was intended to fritter away, her life in a butterfly existence, or if that was best calculated to develop a true woman, the case would be different. Accomplishments should have their due share of attention, yet giving their attention almost solely to the polite arts, we fail to give the strength of character to our women which we wouid, if we required of them more solid attainments* or if women considered perfection in auy art necessary. Too often a smattering of accomplishments is considered sufficient. So.our women deteriorate, and the bolder strokes of genius, in poetry, painting, sculpture, or music, are almost all confined to man's intellect. We have exceptions—such exceptions as show what women may attain.

IfMiss Hossmer has produced sculpture which has never been rivalled, other women may produce in degree If Rosa Bonhcur has -placed upon canvas, her original conceptions in such life-like resemblance and tints as to rival Landseer, others may strika out in bolder paths. If Mrs. Browning has written her glowing thoughts with pathos and originality, and her thoughts have soared away into the realms of imagination, until she is ranked among the world's great poets so may other women take rank as leaders, not as followers, appropriating, combining, but devoid of the true soul of genius, which acknowledges no superior, but finds paths for itself, before untrodden.

The general practice in regard to woman's education isdefective, and gravely in error. When we do not acknowledge her equality with her brothers, and do not demand of her the best she is capable of, she fails to develop the elevated views, the inventive genius, the higher and nobler lights to which men attain.

Women have not accomplished in the past, owing to the thralldom from which she is just emerging, as much as in the present age she is doing. We are demanding of her more to-day than ever. We ask more for the future, because we begin to recognize her magnificent capabilities. As the standard is raised higher, women gradually recognize what they are capable of, and their efforts are coincident with the demand. A great mistake, as well a3 injustice i3 being done woman, when we do not require of and teach her the art of business, and the accomplishment of taking care of herself. It is akin to the popular mistake that was made a few years ago, when it was thought that to be refined a woman should know nothing of housekeeping, but should leave that entirely to the charge of servants. The dignity of labor has not been properly recognized.

Men, very chivalrous, think toguard women so tenderly that she may never know the need of a business education yet if she should never feel the necessity, the deprivation of it has the effect upon Body and mind that it has upon the foliage of plants to keep them indoors, out of reach of the searching w*ihd, or the life-giving sun. It is short-sighted at the best, but how much more so when we consider how many women have gone out from the shelter of a loving home, into the world, singledianded and alone, utterly incompetent to make their way in the world, and innocent of its wiles.

With scarcely any means of earning a subsistence except by doing housework, sewiug, or teaching, these avocations become crowded to excess wages deteriorate when she crowds her way into more luerative employment, she is denied equal wages, aud men wonder why it is- women do not get along, and set it down to want of business faculty, or extravagance.

Woman should have access to every business department, she is physically or mentally qualified for equal wages should be given, and girls taught thoroughly in Some branch of practical business. If she never has occasion to use it,.she will be the stronger for having it her mind will be directed in channels of thought, which will enlarge her mode of thinking and acting make her a more companionable companion and by fiitting her for teaching, make her a better motner, thus leaving her mistress upon the next age.

The sudden failure or death of father oj husband, would not throw her helpless

KfeSaafe"^

on the world to eke out a bare subsistence as best she may, too often to sink down to hopeless poverty, but self-reliant, she could take her place among the world's workers, strong in the strength of her womanhood and a practical knowledge of business.

By not giving women this education, if property falls to her, it often proves a burden rather than a benefit. Having every means of comfort, within their reach, they know not how to use it to advantage they often spend their lives in useless worry, and easily become the prey of designing sharpers, or waste in extravagance what a man has gathered for her and his children by years of toil. The necessity of this education becomes more apparent every day, and is one of the imperative demands of the age.
