IOnia COnclave Picnic.

| The picnic of Ionia Conclave as finality
took place yesterday. There was not SO
large an attendance as might have been de-
sirable, but so far as sport and pleasure
were concerned, the efforts of the commit
tee of arrangements we're highly successful,
and everybody on the ground enjoyed them
| selves to the utmost.
| The first incident in the programme was
prize dance among the children, resulting
in the first prize being awarded to Miss
Eugenia Roman, the second to Miss Minnie
King, and the third to Miss Lulu Blackmar
Then followed a spirited pony race be-
tween Kate Kenny, rode by - Kenny, and
Tom Thumb, rode by Francis McCool;
prize 81 SO in gold; McCool won easily
Time $50.
This was followed by race between
mule Shoe-Fly, entered by Snyder, and mule
Tom King, entered by Turner; prize S.;
Shoo-Fly was winner. Time 800.
Then came race between two cotton
floats, one entered by Peter Hermann, and
the other by Thomas Anderson; Anderson
won. Time five minutes.
Now followed an exciting foot race for
fremen; one mile heat; prize S. gold. There
were four entries, and the race was won
by member of jackson Fire Company No
Is, named Taylor; time, 5:3s. If Taylor is
not horse, he is a match for a great many,
who can hardly make as good time with
four legs as he can with two.
A public foot race of three hundred yards,
for which there were numerous entries, was
won by Henry Burroughs in fifty seconds;
prize, s..
The last performance ON the programme
was buggy race, $500 a side, William
Swan entering Bay Willie, and P. Dufort
entering Black Prince. The race was for
three heats of a mile each, best two in three.
The race was closely contested, Black
Prince winning the first, but Willie being
victor in the second and third heats. The
following is the time:

w. Swords left this city, week ago last
Saturday, on the German steamship Frank

Grace and family, and other very prominent
citizens of New Orleans.
The ship was off Havana in ffty-one
hours after crossing the bar, and Messrs
Howard and Swords landed next morning.
They returned on tie Cuba, arriving here
last Sunday. Nothing occurred to mar the
pleasures of this trip, and the two gentlemen
named were delighted with it, having gone
precisely where they started for, and meet
ing with no embarrassments or unpleasant
ness whatever. We met them both on the
streets yesterday, and cordially welcome
them back to the Crescent City.

FOSTER, THE MURDERER.
A reporter of the New York Star has in

A reporter of the New York Star has in
terviewed Foster, the car murderer, and
writes:
Foster was found in his cell, the shadows
of evening lengthening in the outer cor
ridOr and stealing sadly through the loop
hole near the ceiling. terrible change
has come over him. Never desperate
looking man. his face has become painfully
thin and sorrowful. Its characteristic,
oddly enough, is kindness. His mouth is
almost sweet, his eyes frank and honest.
There never was a murderer who looked
more tender-hearted or more merciful. At
first he was artificially gay. He affected a
ightness of bearing which was evidently
assumed. Now, however, he is penitential,
pathetic and full of sorrow. The poor
fellows kindly eyes-and desperate as his
deed was, they are singularly winning
wea: a constant expression of despair. His
brown beard and his thick brown hair were
clammy with cold, uneasy sweat. His
condemned cell seemed new to him, and he
could hardly grow accustomed to its awful
limits.
A wire grating, to prevent the passage of
suicidal instruments, doubly protects the
door, and it was through this wire screen
that his attenuated features were distin-
guishable. few prints hung about his
unhappy malefactOr is a Protestant.
Fosters manner has become softer and
his pleasant voice sadder. Every one who
sees this man is astOnished to find in so pre-
possessing person the body of a condemned
murderer.
The reporter, who knew him. spoke con-
sOlingly to him. Said Foster:
/" l feel pretty bad. / am preparing for
the worst, and good friends of mine. who
l., 4, L., Il L
Mine is terrible position, and l feel it.
They treat me comfortably here, but the
sensation is awful. | can not eat and dare
not think"
In answer to an inquiry whether he had
ever met Putnam OF Mrs. Duval before, he
said:
Never. l never saw any one of the
party before the night, not even the con-
ductOr or the driver"
How did the driver know you p
Il told him who was and what car l
had worked on"
Foster said further: ..-...
If had meant to kill Mr.. Putnam-and
God knows | did not-would / have struck
him there and then told who l was had
no malice against him. / was drunk, and /
thought l had Just struck him. l had no
more idea of killing him than l have of
killing you. l had never seen any of the
party before, never in my life. l had owned
three hacks, but had never met them, and
| don't, God knows | don't, know what led
to the quarrel / scarcely remember even
striking anybody"
The poor creature then went on sadly to
protest against the verdict of murder in
the first degree, claiming that Judge Car
dOzo himself Disseminated against such a
finding. He over ana over again reatfirmed
his want of intention to kill Mr.. Putnam.

DIR. Tying has visited the condemned, and
will minister to his spiritual necessities
Foster has had liberal education, and
many of the reports about his life and
career are utterly false.

TEACHERS, INSTITUTE.

The second days session of the teachers
institute was held yesterday at the Lyceum
Hail. commencing at ten o'clock. 4
The hall was well filed with teachers and
others concerned in the furtherance of edu-
cation. and it was evident that the interest
in the purposes for which the institute has
been organized remains unabated.
We are glad to see that the arrangements
are such as to include number of our resi-
dent teachers as participants in the several
exercises. In this way it must be evident
more improvement will be attai ed, in con-
sequence of the interchange of ideas, than
by confning the business of the institute to
lectures alone. 1t is to be hoped that the
present arrangement will lead to a perma-
nent organization for teachers meetings
once month, where mutual Improvement
can be effected by lectures or dissertations
on matters relating to the science of
teaching.
After the session had been opened, Mr..
M. NJ. Lowe, principal of Laurel street
school, gave some very interesting black
board illustrations of the art of penman-
ship, and analytical instruction therein.
This was followed by an able address
from Professor j. f. Seaman, of the Boys
Central High School, on the subject of the
Importance of moral training in schools, in
connection with secular training. The ad-
dress maintained that above and beyond
all other forms of culture, that of the moral
l,rr.n o1o
Universal experience has shown that no
solid basis of national life can be reared
without the underlying principle of virtue
and morality as their foundation. The
present calamitous condition of portion
of Europe was instanced, as showing the
inef!ciency of high mental culture alone as
foundation of national prosperity. Knowl-
edge is power, but without the adjunct of
sound moral teaching it may become a
power for evil equally as for good. Withal
the Professor explicitly reprobated all sec
tartan teaching in the public schools, which
are the common property of all denomina-
tions and shades of religious opinion.
The remainder of the session was occu-
pied by Miss Morris, who gave some inter
esting illustrations on the subjects of teach
ing and elocution, and, after a recess, on
the subject of Roman notation.
Between one and two o'clock the institute
adjourned to meet this o-ning at halfpast
nine o'clock. Interspersed with the exer-
cises some excellent music was performed,
Mr.. Auguste Davis from Blackmar's pre-
siding at the piano.
