Commencement at the Sisters, school.


The closing exercises of the Sisters
Academy, in Davenport, on the 25th, were
OF unusual interest. The school hall is
entirely too small to accommodated those
who are anxious to hear the pupils, and it
was full to the door, while on every side of
the building, out on the beautiful grounds,
were numbers of people, great many
from Rock Island One young gentle
man, with characteristic politeness, was
seen gliding through the crowd, bearing all
sorts OF contrvances for seats for a bevy
OF young ladies from this city, he being
the cavalier of the party. The Sisters
have discontinued the practice Of closing
school by musical and dramatic exhibi-
ton in the evening, and have, instead in
stituted an examination of the entire
school, and on the last evening a pleasing
programme, made up Of music, essays and
select reading The hall was nicely decor
ated, a noticeable feature, according to the
judgment Of those who claim to be critics
on the subject of art, being the excellence
of the paintings, Rock Island leading in
that respect, Fog on the Thames" by
Miss Anna Fries, Of this city, calling forth
very complimentary remarks from visitors
on the correct taste of that talented young
lady; two pictures by Miss Conant, of this
city, were very much admired. During
the week IF examination the Rock Island
ladies maintained the reputation of our
city in a very creditable manner. The
character of the daughter of our respect
ed citizen, NJ Kane,a as given b. her teach
er was as follows: Polite, studious and
very talented"
The graduates generally on this occasion
were very thoroughly instructed The
answering of Miss Mary Dolan Of Daven-
port, and Miss Maggie NJ Carthy of Chica-
go showed that the reasoning powers OF
these young ladies were properly directed
and thoroughly developed In mental
philosophy they would rout many d. d.
Miss Dolan pronounced the validictory.
and the feeling manner in which she took
leave of her teachers, thanked her par
ents, who were present, and babe good by
to her schoolmates, caused many to shade
their eyes with their fans or programmes.
Great attention is paid to vocal music.

ADMITS THAT THE ARGUS WAS Al
WAYS RIGHT.
And Announces that an Indiseriminate Bolt
will Take Place If Hawley slall be
Nominated

In a long editorial in the Union of this
morning THE 27th) that paper announces
its change of heart in relation to MIR. Haw-
ley; indorses every position THE ARGUS
ever took in regard to that man, and an
nounces that if he shall again be nomina
ted by the Republicans there will be an
indiscriminate bolt" The pith of the edi-
torial in the Union is contained in the fol-
lowing extract. The Union now says
"Mr. Hawley not only was weak man
to start with, but he has been steadily
growing weaker with each term OF his ser
vice. To-day the opposition to hIm is
stronger in numbers, In influence ana IN
purnose, than ever before. Republicans
who heretofore voted for him under pro-
test will do so no more under any circum.
stances. They can neither be persuaded
nor driven into the support OF man VII )m
at heart they despise, whose virtue they
question and whose incOmpetency Is dem-
onstrated. Six years OF patient endur-
ance is enough. Another nomination is
the feather which breaks the camel s back.
Ii through the INSCRIPTIONS use OF teder-
al patronage, and the aid of the schemlng
rings om Mr. Hawley seems to have
welded round him in each county. he Is
again thrust upon the ticket, there will be

to the close sympathy which exists between
