Yesterday evening Michael was again arrested by officer Eichelberger, who found him near the corner of Fourth and Oak yelling like a Turk, throwiug stones, and in a beastly state of intoxication.
MAN RUN OVER.
A TEMPERANCE LECTURE. Late Saturday night a special freight train, coming north on the E. & T. H. road, when passing swith number 39 at North Shelburn, ran over a man. He •was lying drunk on the track, and before the train could be stopped he was run over and ground into pieces. The remains were gathered together and buried Sunday. No particulars as to his identity could be learned, though he seemed to be a coal miner.
Last winter Messrs. Al. Lyon and Washington Hill established a temperance club at Shelburn. Of late, however, not much has been done in this direction. So powerful a lecture as this, though, ought to revive interest in the subject, and doubtless will.
THE'MANN-BLACKBURN CASEFrom the Danville 111. News. The celebrated case of Mann vs. Blackburn is at last about terminated. It will be remembered that the case was originally tried in our Circuit Court, before Judge Terry, in February, 1S75, and a verdict rendered lor $15,000. he cast was appealed to the Supreme Court, and the judgment affirmed. Suit was then brought on the appeal bond in the Edgar County Circuit Court, which suit was enjoinsd by the defendant Blackburn and his sureties on the appeal bond. The suit then went to the Appellate Court and from thence to the Supreme Court. The latter court has just decided that the judgment is valid, and Black burn must pay it. The judgment now amounts to about $19,000, exclusive of costs. This case has been one of considerable interest, and presents a remarkable instance of the law's delay.
THE SHOOTING PATCH.
SIBLEV BEATS STAFF BY SCORE OF 22 TO IT.
From Tuesday'^ Daily.
The shooting match between John T. Staff and Tom Sibley, held below the Strawberry hill at two o'clock this afternoon resulted in Sibley coming out the victor. Some excellent shooting was done. Sibley was in excellent health, while Staff was suffering from sickness. There was a large crowd in attendance who were enthusiastic in applaue for their favorites. Sibley did some excellent shooting and made some
very
fine shots. Several
of Staff's birds, although hit, fell outside the bounds, and a miss was, of course declared. The following is

After the first match, yesterday afternoon, between John T. Staff and Tho6. Sibley, at Strawberry hill, there were several other matches shot, in most cases for purses. The following are the scores:

An exhibition match was given Geo. A. Schaal, in which he had agreed to break 100 glass balls at 18 yards, in twenty minutes, loading his own guns. This he accomplished more than successfully, breaking 101 glass balls in ten minutes and thirty-five seconds.
Mr. Schaal had also agreed to break twenty-five balls in two and a half minutes, and accomplished the wonderful feat of breaking thirty balls out of thirty two in two and a half minutes.
This ended the day's sport. It is thought Sibley will be challenged again in a tew days by several persons who were barred from the first match, as only one oan accept his challenge at a time.

OBITUARY.
HENRY POST BROKAW. From Wednesday's Daily.
Henry Post Brokaw died last night at at 10 o'clock at the residence of his daughter, on South Fifth street, in his Ssrd year.
The deceased was born at Summerville, New Jersey, Feb. 17th, 1798. At the age of twelve years he went to live with an uncle on Long Island, where he remained until 1S16, when he went with a company of young men to make his home in the West. The company went to Philadelphia and thence over the mountains through Pennsylvania to Pittsburg and Cincinnati, at the latter of which places some of the party remained. The others, among them the deceased, went farther West, finally stopping at Vincennes in the spring of 1817, where the deceased resided until 1865.
He assisted in organizing the first Masonic lodge in the state, of which he was a member until the time of his death. He was Master of Lodge for 11 years, and also High Priest of ?voval Arch Masonry, and was the «ldest Mason in the state.
The deceased was married in Vincennes in 1S22 to Miss Sarah Ruble, who died March 15th, 1877, in this city, where, surrounded by a large circle of children, grand-children and great-grand-children, they celebrated their golden wedding Oct. 3rd, 1872. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, with which he united at Vincennes in I840.
Deceased was a quiet and unobtrusive man in his walk and talk among his fellow men, but an influential one withal a person whom all his associates regarded with the kindliest feelings, in whom all had confidence and to whom all looked as a person of character and integrity. During the last years of his life he was not engaged in business, but passed the time in the sacred precincts of his family or in social intercourse with his relatives and friends. In this chosen circle he was a great favorite, and his kindly face and fatherly manners will be missed by those whom he was wont to cheer and encourage. Full of years his life already lengthened beyond the allotted span of existence, an old man who was not weary of the world nor yet afraid to die has passed to that reward which is promised to all the faithful.
The funeral services will take place tomorrow at 10 o'clock from the residence on the southwest corner Fifth and Swan streets.

CONCLUSION—MAUDE MERCFR.
After listening to the efficient display of logic in favor ot both Philosophy and Poetry, it appears to be .a venturesome if not a useless undertaking, for me even to attempt a definite or positive conclusion. However, sufficient appology having been made at the commencement of our discussion to excite leniency on the part of "our hearers," I will at once proceed to the question under debate: Which contributes more to man's moral improvement, Poetry or Philosophy?
Moral Philosophy teaches that all the virtues are necessary to the perfection ot man, and scientific knowledge being virtue, is therefore necessary. Thus we may affirm that is highly important to asquire a true knowledge of the sciences, for what effect would the poet's song as he weaves into numbers the exquisite harmonies of the universe have on the moral nature of the one who is unac quainted with the science of Astronomy? It would fail as surely in affecting his moral nature, or in leading his mind to the'"Great Cause," as would the most profound thesis in affecting the moral character of the child who is unacquain* gd with the letters 2°f ithe alphabet. Still it is Tery important to know the limits of scientific knowledge. We are told in the pompous language the day, that modern science elevates man into a higher sphere where he soars with mighty wings above the narrowing influences of creeds, and the debasing fear of eternity. "Behold," it is said, "how scientific progress undermines the very foundation on which religion stands." Mankind is exhorted to discard henceforth all narrow-mindedness, and to adopt in keeping with the spirit of the age, the broad liberal views of modern progress. Here wt have the line of argument adopted by our present free thinkers and embodied in the startling theories of the times. But though there is a fascination in the language, there is very great fallacy in the reasoning, for even the scientific man, who wants to make Truth, or the "Great Final Cause" his guide, will wander in the regions of idle speculation and sink into the quick sand of skepticism. This common danger is caused not from extraordinary scieutific knowledge, but from false theories advanced by false philosophers. |A little philosophy takes them away from truth but a greater would bring them back to it again.
In favor of poetry, Miss Mary Ward was very happv in her selections fromf Shakespeare. But why are those lines considered more influential than other Because they embody the very essences? philosophy.
It was also happily asserted by Miss Mary Cuffman that the poet detects beauty in every nook and crevice of nature. But in what does that beauty consist? In the very perfection of the philosophic system of the vast universe
Again it was truly affirmed that the sentiments of the poet, principally appeal to the heart by piaying upon the affections rather than upon the intellect ot'man. Now, although the passions and affections influence the decisions Jof the will to-some extent, we must bear in mind that the depths of man's moral nature must be reached through the inintellecl. The law upon which the unformity of the moral nature is unquestionably based, is, that its decisions must conform to fact9 and their relations, as they exist in view of the intellect. We must appeal to th affections through the intellect and not to the intellect tnrougti the affections.
In? our efforts to prove that philosophy cqntr-butes more to man's moral improvement than poetry, we do not wish to condemn poetry as an entirely useless department of literature for we willingly acknowledge that while nature's beau ties exist, and while there exists in the heart of man an appreciation of these beauties, it is impossible to believe that true poetry should fail to awaken a response in "the human heart.
It was asserted by an advocate of poetry, that the philosopher would banish imagination from the mind. But to this, we who favor philosophy cannot agree for we have indisputable evidence that he cherishes it as the mark of strength of intellect. D'Alembert, in illustration of this, declares that Archimedes, the geometrican, should be placed beside Homer the poet.
Again, some one has said that the inability of the philosopher to understand all the mysteries of nature plunges him into the foils of unbelief. But we cannot fail to see that it is net the knowledge of weakness, but the supposed knowledge of strength that causes infidelity. It is no humiliation to the human understanding to acknowledge that there are limits beyond which it cannot pass. It is calculated rather to elevate it, raise it to lofty contemplation, thus reminding it of its noble origin, and proclaiming its future destiny.
In favor of philosophy, Miss Mary Price, appropriately suggested the saying of Socrates, that "the proper study of mankind is man." But Aristotle, moie than any ancient philosopher, enlarged the limits of philosophy and also rendered the greatest service to logic, the science of reasoning. With reference to his doctrines, his has been termed the intellectual school.
Plato, his tutor, styled him "the mind of his school." St. Thomas of Aquinas called him, "the master," as his school was, in amoral point of view, the school of prudence, the object of which was to find the rule of moral conduct in the result of human actions.
As a leading argument in favor of philosophy, it was asserted that "man was made for truth." Hence whatever most effectually assists him in the discovery and investigation of truth, is best adapted to his moral improvement. That which has truth for its object must assist man in the attainment of that object. Poetry has beauty for its object. Philosophy has truth. From this brief induction we may safely form our syllogism.
Ati man was made, for truth that which has truth for its object will contribute the more to his moral improvement. Philosophy has truth for its object. There
fore, philosophy more than poetry, con« tributes to man's moral improvement. «But what is truth Ordinarily speakmg, it means the real state of things. The sciences lead us toward this real stats of things. But science cannot expose to our view the grand reality the "One Great Truth toward which »It Sf ience, even all truth tend.
Here we find truth in Hirn, who said,
uI
am the Way, the Truth and the Life." Here then we find also that our philosothat our philosophy underlies our theology, even as the solid strata that lie unseen beneath the surface, give shape, coutour and direction to the lofty mountain ran^e. But now I must conclude bv saving: Poetry is good it piavs upon the finer chords of man's* nature. Philosophy is better for it enables man to attain the highest perfection mentally nd morally, of which he is capable in this life. But neither one is sufficient for man as a responsible being, Religion is the essential. It is the gentle spirit of religion that draws forth from the souls harp, the exquisite harmonv of life.
A march from Mendelssohn was delightfully given by a number of students on pianos, narps, and guitars and very greatly pleased the audience.
Each of the graduates read a brief valedictory address. A delightful selection of music rendered perfect time, harps, guitars abd piano6 was the last regular exercise-
Judge A. B. Carlton then read the list of prizes and the young ladies receiving awards came out of a pretty little cave back of a silk lined arch and bowed their acknowledgements to Bishop Chatard. Diplomas was awarded and a brief peech made by the Bishop when the audience dispersed from the hall. Little lunch parties occupied the shady nooks of the grounds.
NOTES.
Thanks to the courtesy of Sistet Henrietta, the infirmariari Sister Mary Esther, and one or two others, the writer was enabled to enjoy the almost innumerable attractive articles—both artistic and mechanical, which the students and the faculty have produced. Some of the works are the labor cf former graduates, while others are recently finished. Sister Maurice is the artist of the institution. A number of her pictures are greatly admired. Among others the GAZKTTBBR saw was "The Ruins of Carthage," jby Miss Ella McKinney. This painting stands at the end of a longhall which adds to the wonderful effect of the lengthening perspective. Miss Brkea some time ago made a crayon portrait of her father and mother, "and both ar excellent likenesses. Mias Doxy and Miss America Cole have also something very pretty to 6how. A number of young ladies have painted fine screens, and the result is a beautiful collection of them. In this style of work Mis* McGrath is very proficient. The young ladies at St. Mary's all seem to write good hands. Misses Mercer, Ella Turpie, Cullen and Mary Ward have executed beautifully with a pen a series of portraits.
Mr. Renihan has ar. artistic daughter, as has also Mrs. Coffman in hers. Each of these persons have 'had crayon portraits taken by their daughters.
Mise Schnell's winter scene is much admired. Miss Mollie Price has made a number of portraits of her family.
Miss Maude Mercer has added to this collection a handsome picture of Miss Price.
One of the most wonderful, as well as attractive things seen, are some artificial flowers made of shells, many of them sent from France. It is a permanent testimonial to the skill of Sister Mary Joseph. Sisters Mary Gertrude and MaryJEsther—the latter a former student in the institute—hav? charge of the needle work department. They have certainly some very apt pupils. Misses Ida Graneling and Tillie Heirkam, of Indianapolis, have, at infinite expenditure of patience and skill, finished some wonderful vestments for the very Rev. Father S'nidelerr. There are a great many creditable specimens cf painting on silk. Miss Nellie Davis is quite proficient in this art. Miss Marcourt has made a puzzle of her name in India ink which is not only perplexing, bat attractive. Miss Louisa Kussner's beautiful cross is the subject of favorable comment. The sisters have not cultivated art only, to the neglect of utility. The writer saw some button holes made by Miss Dora Baugh and others, which were models of neat needle work. The little girls are early taught to darn their own hose, and Misses Lynn, De Voir, Elizabeth Redman and Frances Michael, all who are quite young, have distinguished themselves in work of this sort.
If pestered b? an Eruption, use Gexum' ScLPHca SO'Ar, the ruling specific for dlseases, Irritatton and abrasions of the skin and a most salutary beautifler of the com plexion.
