AN INTERESTING WINDOW.
A Confederate Camp Scene With
Interesting Relics of the
Lost Cause.

Mr.. Abe Levy has hit on a novel
method of arranging his great
show windows for this week. The
east window is one that will arrest
the attention of all Confederate
veterans, as well as many other
people who delight in relics Of the
stirring times of 60-64. The win
dow in question has been tastily
converted into Confederate camp
and is filled with valuable relics
Of the lost cause, many of which
have strong local interest.
The background of the scene
pictured is made up of the open
ings Of three dog tents, such as
we're used by the soldiers Of the
Confederacy, when these veterans
were fortunate enough to secure
any shelter whatever. In front of
the tents are three figures clad in
bona fde Confederate uniform
not clothes made up after the pat
tern of those worn during the wal
but the genuine article which
were worn by Confederate soldiers,
two of whom are still living in
Augusta and the third by highly
respected Augustan now departed.
Two of the uniforms are those of
officers and the third is that of a
private. One of these uniforms
saw service when worn by Capt.
N. K. Butler, and the other officers
regimentals were worn by Capt G.
A. Platt, of the Clinch Rifles. the
father of MI. w. Edw. Platt. The
nrivate's uniform YVES worn by
Sergeant Graves, of this city.
Among the relics ia a red sash
which was worn by Major Bagley,
the first Confederate officer TO be
killed in the war. Strange to re-
late this soldier was the uncle of
Ensign Worth Bagley, the first
American officer to be killed in
the war with Spain.
Bugler Parkin, of Augusta, was
killed by the bite of a coral snake
at Pensacola during the second or
third year of the war. The snake
that bit him preserved in alcohol
and The bugle he used are on exhi-
bition in bis window.
The coat and hat worn during
the war by Sergeant Schlei'.e, OF
Augusta, are also on exhibition.
Another relic of Importance is
genuine battle flag of the Fifth
Georgia. 1t was used as gar-i-
son flag.
There are at least a hundred
other relics in this window. al OF
them of great value and interest to
the public of this day.

Co-education of the Sexes.

DR.. William T. Harris, national
commissioner of education, in an
swer to d letter of inquiry, fur
nishes statistics showing that 6
large majority of the young men
and young women now taking the
higher education IN the United
States are taking it in common
DR.. Harris says:
aIn fS9S-99 the undergraduate
college students are reported as
follows: In the 161 institutions
for men alono 2o,6sO men were
studying; in the 366 co-educa.
tionaf institutions 36,9SS men and
19,OS6 women; in the theirteen
colleges for women, 4,34S women,
and in the 1873 female colleges and
seminaries, 10.637 women. The
co-educational institutions enroll
10000 more men than the institu-
tions exclusively for men, and
also enroll 1000 and upward more
women than the thirteen colleges
tor women Of the same rank as the
colleges for men, added to the f32
fomale colleges and seminaries
which do not have a course OF
study equal to the average college
course for men. The number of
women in co-educationsl institu'
tions is nearly $1,000 greater thar
the number III the thirteen colleges
for women that hold. the same
rank as the better colleges fol
men,
1t is plain frorn these authorit
ative figures that co-education ii
popular, and. that young women
have beer quick to avail them
selves Of the open door of the hig
her universities. Not only have
they entered them in large NUMBER
but they are maintaining them
selves creditably in the class room
in competition with young men
and it ia believed that daily
association of this kind in th'
literary workshop will be beneficial
to both sexes-increasing mutua
respect and the intelligent ap
probation of each others abilities
capabilities and limitations, ane
removing some of the misappre
tensions that each sex labors upd

is also being looked to by tn
friends of women suffrage as tn
