The Semi Weekiy SfaQoare.

T,rr Rrv.1, CANDIDATEs-A Washington cores
nondent of Northern paper gives the following
sketch of the rival candidates for the Speakershp:
Thomas S. Bocock, of Virginia, the Democratic
candidate for Speaker, is a man OF thoroughly ma
tionaI and moderate views member OF the greatest
rner,ance in the House, and one who is universally
oStosmpd for the possession for the possession Of
Somnd Judgment good temper, great courtesy of
manner and very decided abilities He is a tall and
rathar graceful man. of some forty-eight or fifty
years of age, with acquiline features, long face.
irown side whiskers and imperial, mild gray eyes
onda nlentful supply of dark chesnutcolorcd hair,
"rr,nged on his head with consideration adrotneSs.
of course in the present controversy he has no OPP
nortunity to speak, but it is well understood that he
;s at any moment willing to sacrifice his personal
aims to secure a compromise OF all the interests not
onnnlv or secretly in league with the Republican
nertv His chief rival John Sherman of Ohio is
man some ten years his Junior, of middle height
and nervous figure, with fine square forehead,
Tcbt brown hair, light beard shaven on the upper
Ii1 large blueiSh eyes, prominent perceptive facul
ties and features of the ordinary New England
mould with a touch in them of firmneSs, resoute
will and subtlety During each ballot, Mr.. Shcr-
man appears agitated and attempts to conceal his
nervousness by taking up newspaper, which
trembes in his hands as he holds it.
John \. Gilmer of North-Carolina, the South
American candidate, is large and rohust-looking
man-much such man as Senator Toombs in style
with dark thick hair bushing out all Sides of his
head, full dark whskerS, curling up round bis chin
and cheeks, deep set and laughing dark eyes, feat
ures irregular, and defyng all classic models, but
full of strength, and with general air Of good hu-
NOR and synesS, good breeding and peace of mind
such as it does the eye good to rest upon in this
hurried and agtated city.

SEPARATING THE SEXES IN SCHooLs.-On this point,
Mr.. Stowe, celebrated Glasgow teacher, uses the
following language.
"The youth of both sexes of our Scottish peasen-
try have been both educated together; and as q
whole are the most moral people on the earth. Ed
ucation in England is given separately, and we have
never heard from any practical men that any bene-
fit has arisen from this arrangement. Some inuen-
tal individuals there mourn over the prejudice on
this point In Dublin, large number of girls turned
out badly who had been educated alone until they
attained the age of maturity, than those who were
otherwise bIought up-the separation ofthe sexes
has been found to be injurious. 1t is stated on
the best authority that of those girls educated in
schools converts apart from boys the greater ma
Ority 90 wrong within month after being let loose
in society," and meeting the other sex. They cannot
it said resist the slightest compliment or attery.
The separation is intended to keep them strictly
moral; but this unnatural seclusion actually gene
rates the very principle desired to be avoided. We
may repeat that it is impossible to raise the girls as
high, intellectually without boys as with them and
is impossible to raise boys morally as high without
girls. The girls morally elevate the boys, and the
boys intellectually elevate the girls But more than
thls-girls themselves are morally elevated by the
presence of boys, and boysare intellectually elevated
by the presence of girls Girls brought up with boys
are more positively moral and boys brought up in
schools with the girls positively intellectu
al, by the sOfening influence of the female charac
ter. In the Normal Seminary at Glasgow, the most
beneficial effects have resulted from the more ma
tural course Boys and girls, from the age of two
or three years to that of fourteen or fifteen have
been trained in the classroom, galleries and play
grounds, without impropriety, and they are never
separated except at needlework"
