causes, men like Speaker Blaine would
lay the whole blame on the Ku Klux,

his interference is as much needed

Attempted Suicide of IIelnboIl,

hoNa BRANCu, August 2l.-At
about nine O'Clock this morning, Dr..
Fl. Il. IIelmbold attempted to COM
init suicide by blowing his bralus cut.
He borrowed a double. .barreled shot
gun, hired a carriage with golored
driver and started out towards the Sc \
to shoot on the meadow lands. Just
below the Arlington House he got out
of the carriage, placed the gun under
his chin, and fired but being small
man the effort to pull the trigger
caueed his hand to lhote the barrel of
the gun forward, and his face was
only injured. In his desperation he
repeated the experiment, bit with the
same result and the driver, who in
the meantime had rushed to him
caught him fainting and bleeding in
his arms, aud brought him to the
Arcade Hotel, whence he was taken
home. Dr.. Helmbold himself, how
over, telegraphs to New York City,
tonight, that while cunning this morn.

Mixing Sexes fM Public
SCIlOOlS.

Tho Graded High Schools, with
threo woll.paid teachers, in every
County.seat, which we advocate,
should be open to both sexes. Expe-
rienoo proves that mixing boys and
girls in the same CLASSES improves
both sexes, and contributes to the
good order and discipline Of tho
school and experience on such sub.
ject is worth moro than speculation.
The splendid schools of Illinois and
Missouri are schools attended by both
boys and girls. In the old world of
Asia, whore women arc least respect
ed, and in consequence, despite all ar.
tificial restraints, least chaste, the
sexes arc kept studiouoly apart, as if
contact and social Intercourse, must, of
necessity, produce immodcsty, i'm
purity and sensuality. In Europe,
and especially in France, the sexes
arc kept further apart, than in Anne.
rica, and yet we know there IS more of
grossncss and less of purity between
the sexos there, than here. Chastity
of thought and decorum of conduct
arc thus clearly proven to depend on
other causes, than educating and
keeping tho young people of the two
sexes apart. We remember our own
experience as a youth Oh this subject.
1t was when flung frequently iuto the
society of young ladies, that we en-
tertainod most worthy and most manly
thoughts Of them. But We felt the
need of some power of discrimination
in our estimate of them. Had we
gone to school for few gears with
them, our quixotic admiration of "the
weaker vessel" would have had more
sense in it. Weswould have been a
sadder man. Since we usually did
their sums for the rest Of our class,
the fibs the girls would have told,
claiming our work as their own, and
the manly lies wo would have told in
confirming their eltions on the sui {
jcct, might have established lifo-
time friendship with some of the love-
licst of the sex. But alas! "dis ali
ter vipum." Our boys, however, shall
havo o better chance than thoir un-
fortunate flasher. They shall attend
school with girls.

jury LAWS.

The following condemnation of the

fort Republican
Outside Of the general election law,

and abuse, as that relating to the

sense it gives the jury Commissions

so doing, they are at liberty to thiuk
what they please, ana select set OF
mon who arc as innocent Of alphabet,
cal knowledge or chirography as if
thoy wero inhabitants of some yet un.
discovered country. This is all
wrong. A juror has more power than
