Something new Under the Sun.
BY reason other peculiar relations
and her peculiar ailments, woman
has been compelled to suffer, not on
Iy her own i'll, but those arising from
the want Of knowledge, or Of consi-
deration on the part of those with
whom she stands connected in the
social organization. The frequent
and distressing Irregularities peculiar
to her sex have thus been aggravated
to q degree which no language can
express. In the mansions of tie rich
and the howell Of the poor alike,
woman has been the patient victims
Of ills unknown 10 nan, and which
none but she could endure-and
without remedy. But now the
hour Of her redemption has come
She need not suffer longer, when she

Mr. Norinent one of the publ ic school
directors for the 9th district informs US that
there will be no public school for the white
children'this year. The small fund in hand
the directors have determined to devote to
tie support of the colored free schools in as
much 8 they had very little or none Of the
money last year.
Those who expect to send their children
to school ought to take immediate steps to-
wards making up private schools to open in
September. The true policy for our people
TO pursue is to levy a special tax on polls
and privileges, with which to supplement
the public fund, and thus ward of the de-
moralization incident to the present policy.
