The Parish of Orleans has
elected solid Foster delegation
to the Shreveport convention.
He will probably be nominated to
day on the first ballot and very
likely by reclamation, as the oppo-
sition to his denomination, which
has developed in Ouaehita and two
or three other Parishes, merely to
crafty personal resentment or
wreak revenge on account of dis
appointed ambition, is of such in
significant and diminutive proper
lions, as to ne unable to eOncen.
trate on a st !ndard bearer.

THE KINDERGARTEN.

4hS AtuuOi Sai tCh 10 v" w WV
great nursery of childhood III the
future. 1t takes the little tot OF
two and a half or three years OF
age, standing as it were, at the
Threshold of existence, qnickens
every intellectual, moral and So
cial faculty Of it's being, and brings
out in bold relief its loving aud
hopeful nature. Never before, has
the little one realized that earth is
so beautiful, life 50 sweet or Heav-
ell so near.
The Kindergarten is founded on
the principle that activity is the
first law of childhood. 1t is not
natural for children to sit still.
They must be- actively employed,
to be happy, They delight in be-
ing helpful, in serving others, i'll
the feeling that they have a task
to perform in this great work.a.
day world. The marches, songs
and aires are all designed to build
up the perfect and harmonious
character. The occupation and
busy work are specially adapted
to laying a foundation for success
in all the arts and industries OF
civilized life.
Everything connected with the
work required of the children is
done in neat, methodic and sys.
tematic manner. The tables ON
which they work, the circle around
which they march, and every duty
that devolves upon the little
"helpers," as they are called,
tends to emphasize and impress
OH the childish mind, "neaven's
first law"-order. There's no lag.
giilg, nor haphazard work in the
Kindergarten. Every child soon
learns to join with hearty good
will in all the various exercises
and occupations.
The teacher does not, as in the
old methods, sit back as Il monitor,
directing the children what to do;
but becomes, for the time being, q
little child herself, and leading off
with the song, game OF other occu
patton, the little one Immediately
catches the spirit of the same, and
follows in her wake. :
Children like monkeys, are great
imitators. For this reason, exam
pie is much better for them than
precept. They learn to be kind,
generous and helpful in Kinder
garten by seeing others 80. There
is never any censuriDg, scoldiDg or
faullinding. The teachers aud
trainers endeavor always to be
what they wish their children to
become.
They know that it does not make
a child good to call it bad f; that it
does not make it industrious to
call it lazy that it does not make
it bright to call it stupid; but on
the contrary such dlscouragiDg
processes will spoil the best and
most promising children. The OBJ
ject is to always encourage, to lead
ON, aud though the child is kept
in harness by method, practised
only by Kindergartens, it is hardly
aware that there is any restraint.
For these and many..Iother rea
sous too humorous by far to men.
ton, all children, without except.
ion are enthusiastically fond of the
Kindergarten. 1t is the one place
Of all others where they can be su.
premely happy in the realization
that they are little men and women,
rushing OIL with hearty good will
in the great work of the world.

More Privileges For Jesse pomeroy.

Jesse Pomeroy, whose flendish crimes
startled the public over 20 years ago, Is
about TO enjoy a relaxation, to a degree, of
the rigorous life which he has led In the
state prison at Charlestown since his SEN
tence was commuted from death by hang
ing to solitary imprisonment for life. His
Imprisonment has been very close, and
during all its years he has borne it with
seeming indifference. The warden will
remove Pomeroy to more comfortable
but securely guarded cell and give him
work TO do.
1t is understood that Pomeroy will well
come the expected change with much sat
isfaction, Heretofore all his waking
hours have been devoted TO reading. He
has read thousands of books during his
imprisonment, and that portion of the
prison library which suited his taste has
been quite thoroughly read by him.
The warden says that Pomeroy Is read
ing books Of higher tone than was for
merly his custom He said that Pomeroy
had told him that he was led to commit
the crimes through reading the yellow
covered type of literature. Pomeroy is In
general an excellently behaved prisoner.
He is of taciturn disposition and has Of

to see any one
