There is a lady in Augusta ’who has never boon from under the old Confederate flag. Her name is known, but by request it i« withheld. Whether walking, eat ing, or sleeping there is always a Confederate flag over her head While walking on the streets there is always a flag in her hat, and, no matter how many hats or bon nets she has, there is always to be found a flag pinned on the inside of the crown. On the headpost of her bed is securely fastened a large flag of the Confederate States. The flag is as necessary for her as three meals a day. She says she has never surrendered and never will. We Think so. Too. From the Anderson Intellinger.

From the Anderson Intelligencer. Brooklyn has a new idea in the educational line. It is proposed that a “parents’ day” shal 1 be es tablished in the public schools, when fathers, mothers and instruc tors shall meet in the school build ings to discuss things of moment anent the teaching of the young hopeful. As the main importance of the new day is to cqmpel an in terest by the public in its own affairs, and not to trust too largely to its agents, the idea is a good one, and should not be confined to the city ot churches. Let It be Bight. From the Carol Id*. Spartan. South Carolina has eight ex Governors living, Mr. Sheppard became Governor by the election of Governor Simpsop to the Supreme bench. All the others elected by the people. They are Scott, Hampton, Hagood, Thomp son, Richardson, Sheppard, Till man, Evans.

No. 1. ‘‘Come, Ut us live for our child- ren,’* said Friedrich Frcebel, the great friend of childhood and therefore the betief.aclor of mnu- kit.d* Others have stood forth prominently in their endeavor to oink childhood easier to children —ns Comenius, Rousseau, Bell, La icjister, Stowe, Pestalozzi, etc., hut none have touched the child so tr ily as Froebel. Ffoeh-'l was born in Germany and was a pupi* of Pestalozzi, and whiD he admired him, realized then whiit we have had good cause to see since his time, “That through the age*, one in creasing purpose runs, And the thought! of men are wi dened by the process of the suns.” and nsid to himself, “This ia good, hut there is better to be hnd,” and went to work systematically to stud} ^childhood 111 all its phases, to iri vke himself acquainted with the manifold nature of children. Frosbel thought of his kinder garten, his child garden, as a con nect! ig link between homo and school. 'To explaiu this system, to spread his new ideas/he sacrificed many comforts and gave up all his spare timf; but he was rewarded by seeipg his ideas take root and his newfifystem of education spread in realfoia comparatively short space Mffity people ask,' “what is kindergarten?” It is an institu-j lion- for children from three to seven years of age, where they learn how to develou their physi cal, mental, and moral natures. They learn how to work here, bat to a superficial observer, this work seems play and nothing else. As a matter of fact, everything in the kindergarten is a species of play, but. then, as Froebel says, “Plav is the work of the child.” The toys used are called “Gifts,” translated directly from the Ger man Gaben, meaning Gifts. Then them are Occupations, which the children like as much as the Gifts and perhaps better. But here, as elsewhere, “Variety is the very -p; • ■ of hf *,” and, before thechild- ren g i tir -<l of these, they are 4.v 1 th * 8*ngs and games, which ire, p rhaps, the most important oart of the day at the kindergar ten. If there is any recommendation needed for the kindergarten, it lies u the fact that the children are enthusiastic over it and, in stead of crying to remain home, weep, when sickness or weather prevents them from attending.

J He Han Beftigoed. From tbe Greenville Mountaineer. Dr. Albert J. Dihz, the noted missionary of the Southern Baptist Convention, who did such excel lent work in Cuba for a number of years, and who was imprisoned last year as a sympathizer of the insurgents, has severed all connec tion with the mission board under which he was working, and will devote his entire time to the cause of Cuba, with headquarters in At lanta. It has been evident for some months that Dr. Diaz was impatient te further the cause of the insurgents, and we think he has acted very properly in resign ing the place of Missionary, for which he was disqualified by his intense zeal for tbe Cabans.
