Wesley Grove Camp.
The Grent COMMUNICATING.

More fair to see than any of the tabled
Utopias of old is that grand commonwealth
of letters which, with circles ever WIDEN
ing, finds its centre on the banks of Lake
Chautauqua. The nucleus was the common
place idea of u mere Sunday school picnic
ground, and from that has been extended
vast republic of letters, in which the groves
of academic held sacred from the entrance
of the unlearned, are now opened to the
most ignorant seeker after knowledge. Ne
cessarily, from its origin, it had at first sort
of Sunday school character, about half the
membership being Methodists; but this has
changed by the expansion of the scheme.
Eleven different UNCONVENTIONAL religious
meetings have been sustained at its summer
conventions, and the membership now en-
braces Catholics, Jews, and what are styled
Free-thinkers. After u brilliant success of
several years, Chautauqua may now claim to
be Il well established summer college, in
which complete courses are presented of lee
lures upon science literature and the
ology. Instruction in language and
music also constitutes an essential
portion of the scheme, and the students who
flock there enjoy Il mountain altitude, liv-
ing in tents and bathing in the beautiful
e lake, with those quaint additions of electric
lights and all the other inventions that
American ingenuity always applies to the
amusement and comfort of the large con-
gregations of the people. This scheme, ex-
tensivc as itappears, is dwarfed by compar-
ison with the other outside college which
has grown around this inner temple, which
seems so built that its vast corridors are
ready to receive the whole world. By this
educational system complete course of
study is arranged on the basis of mental
application of 40 minutes day fora period of
four years. Written examinations are care
fully prepared and degrees of scholarship be-
slowed. But above all mis- is the patient,
considerable preceptorship, ever ready to
supply any special information, with the
books and all necessary implements at the
very lowest price, "Reading made easy"
is thus truly accomplished, and the mem
bers of this college are found in the kitchen
and the factory, and especially in far-away
solitary farm houses where such a link with
the world is most warmly welcomed.

CAMP MEETINGS.
Elaborate Preparations for this Sea-
ABLIsHED AUGUST, 1858.

In very short time the tenting season
will open up in full blast under the direc-
ton of the several religious denominations
Washington annually spreads itself on its
camp-mectings. 1t goes into the campaign
in business-likc way, and no efforts arc
spared in the saving of souls and imparting
moral lessons to the wicked Washington
offers good field for the evangelist and re-
: vivalst to operate in. This must be evil
dent to several camp-mceting associations,
for they have this year gone more extern
sively into the matter of preparing for the
season than ever.
The Washington Grove Association
has enlarged and improved its grounds, and
among other matters has erected recently u
commodious hotel, which already contains
number of guests. 1t is under the man
agement of WASH b. Williams. The hotel
stands on the west side of the grounds and
commands splendid view of the camp and
surroundings New cottages have also been
erected by VIM. Burris, A. Il. Stewart Rev.
y DR.. Lanahan, II. A. Singer and w. l. Sib-
ley. The camping season of the association
will commence Thursday, August IL, and
close Wednesday, August 90.
A new tabernacle has been erected at
Wesley Grove Camp.
1t has seating capacity for about 200
persons. The camp will open July 20,
under the auspices of the Mount Vernon
M. l.. Church South. The services will be
under the direction of Messrs. Samuel
Register, Samuel Rogers and J $. Gardner,
presiding elders of the Baltimore, East Bal
timorc and Washington districts, respec-
lively. A large dining hall has also been
added to the grounds. Rev. DIR. Harrison,
pastor of Mount Vernon Church, will not
take part in the services, Us he sails next
week for Europe, expecting to return in
October next.

Recovery from wound in the Liver.

case is reported in the New Orleans
Medical and Surgical Journal (1852) in which
a boy years of age recovered from wound
in the liver, which seems to have been far
more serious that the one inflicted upon the
President by the pistol-shOt fired by Gui-
tcau. A gun was accidentally discharged,
which sent load of large shot into this
boys liver, some of the pellets passing clear
through the right lobe. DR.. j. G. Massic,
of Houston, Texas (who reported the case),
was called in on the fourth day after tho
accident, when the wound was gangrcnous.
After telling the boys parents that there
was not much chance for his recovery, Dr.
Massie cut out more than the half of the
right lobe of the liver, which had become
gangrenous. Contrary to expectation, the
boy made speedy recovery.

Pnwnbrokinr I'm Euronc.

Monts-de-Pietc, or pawnbroking cstab-
lishments, are in most European countries
under government control They were
first started in Italy about tho middle of
the fifteenth century. The most admirable
examples of this species of poor mans bank
are found in France, Belgium, and Holland,
the Paris mont-dc-piete doing larger bust
moss than any similar institution on the
continent. The members of its admins
trative council are appointed by the minis
ter of the interior. Its funds are derived
partly from legacies, advances from chart
table associations, and the guarantee fund
deposited by its officials, but chiefly by
loans in the open market. A little less
than four per cent. is paid for the use of
its capital and nine per cent. is charged
for loans. In 1875, 100000 obtained $i5,-
100000 on pledges. Whenever an article
brings at auction less than the amount
loaned, the deficiency is made good by the
official valuer, who receives from the bor-
rover an insurance commission Of one-half
of one per cent. in addition to the interest
charged. At the central office of tho
monte-de-piete, the loans, in the case of
gold and silver articles are calculated at
four-fifths of their computed value. At
the branch offices closer approach to the
value of the article is made. This is done
at the risk of the lender who secures the
central Office against loss. In 1875, the
aggregate losses on the sale Of pledges were
less than $4,000, while the gains on pledges
sold above the sums lent were more than
1927 900. The law requires the mont de pietc
to keep an article fifteen months before
selling it, though the borrower can compel
sale at any time after three months, and
every cent in excess Of the sum due the
bank is placed at his credit and not confis-
eatp1 fill tha nypirotinn Of
Whenever the excess amounts to twenty
cents, he is notified of tho fact. Out of 2OO,-
900 pledges sold in 1875, $4,000 owners
came forward to claim their balances,
amounting to $4,000. The money that is
never claimed is turned over to charitable
institutions. 1t has been proposed to ex-
tend the the operations of the mont de-piete
so as to offer facilities to the agriculturist
to obtain loans on growing crops
