WASHINGTON GROVE, Aug. 17.--Tuesday,
Thursday, and Sunday are attractive days
at the Grove To-day proved no exception,
and early this morning the trains and car
riages brought the usual crowd, both from
the city and surrounding country. A heavy
shower which fell last night cooled the at
mosphere, laid the dust, and made the
Grove more attractive than ever.
At 9o'clock Rev. DIR. Foard presided at
the prayer and experience meeting. This was
well attended and proved very profitable
At 1880 Rev. W. s. Edwards preached
from the text found in Numbers, xxi, o.
"And Moses made serpent OF brass aud
put IL upon pole, and it came to pass that
II a serpent had bitten any man, whom he
beheld the serpent Of brass, he lived" He
preached an eloquent and impressive SER
mon, which was followed by an earnest ex-
hortation by DIR. Price, Though no one
presented themselves at the altar for prayer,
yet the meetings are growing In interest,
and a general awakening Is looked for.
At 9 o'clock found the little ones in the
tabernacle anxiously waiting for their meet
ing TO commence The zeal with which the
children attend this service and the readi-
ness with which they recite their verses Is a
Lesson worthy to be learned by those much
Revs. d. A. Foard and W. @. Griffith, and
the singing was conducted by Prof. Glen
Poole. Ladies' meeting was held In the
tent at the same hour, conducted by Mrs.
Platt, and was one Of great profit.
A conservation and testimony at 3

ington, which was we'll attended. Mr.. VIM.
| II. II. Smith led the young peoples meet
| ing at 745 this evening These meetings
| for prayer and praise, which are held at the

win Will preach at O'Clock tonight.
Tomorrow will be missionary day. Rev.
MIR Butler, q returned missionary from
India and Mexico, will conduct service at
1890 o'clock, and the Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society will have charge Of the
afternoon services.

A Thorough Renovation to Take
Place at the Executive Mansion.
Now that the President and Mrs. Cleveland
have vacated the white house for month
or more, the annual cleaning will be COM
menced Immediately and carried forward
as fast as the character of the work will al
low. The carpets have already been taken
up and cleaned and will be packed away
until the other work is completed. A con-
siderable amount Of work will be done on
the conservatory, and 1t will be somewhat
enlarged also, as large appropriation has
been made for that purpose in addition to
the inside work. The exterior of the white
house will be repainted In thorough man
ner. The handsome crystal chandeliers in
the east room will be taken to pieces and
carefully cleaned. There will not be much
new furniture put in this year as the house
was well and completely furnished during
Presidents Arthur's term. New curtains,
which have been ordered from Europe, will
be put up in the east room, and in the din
ing room handsome new carpet will be
laid.

pointments In the postal service have prob.
ably outnumbered two to one those OF all
the other departments combined, and ma

OF ofllceseekers had left its mark upon the
once handsome carpets which adorned tine
floors Of the Postmaster Generals official
apartments. The body Brussels, which
was once SO thick and velvety, is now worn
threadbare in places. The portraits Of for
mer Postmasters General, which ornamented
the walls OF Mr.. Vilas's Office and his con-
sultation room, have been taken down, re-
vealing yellow stains upon the fresco work,
and before they are replaced the walls aud

be pushed forward so as to be completed
by the time Mr.. Villas returns from his visit

Assistant United States Treasurer s.
Davis Page is of the opinion that the count
OF the moneys in the subtreasury at Phila-
delphia now in progress by Assistant Cashier
OF the Treasury Melnc and his seven as
slstants would not be completed for two
weeks.
Yesterday they counted $50, 900 in eagles
and 500, 900 in silver quarters aud halves,
contained In bags holding less than 81 900
each,
Each night the vaults that are being
counted are sealed up and opened next
morning by the officials from Washington
in the presence Of representative OF AS
sistant Treasurer Page. Among the party
from this city is q colored man employed In
the Treasury Department, who has wonder
ful skill in packing bags Of coin, and who
will pack all tho bags In the Philadelphia
office. This work must be done well, as
serious accidents are likely to result If the
bags are packed carelessly. One OF the as
slstants Of Assistant Cashier Meline had
occasion to enter vault at the Treasury
Department filed with bags OF coin which
had been packed carelessly. A sudden jar
started a movement among the bags, and 1t
was only by throwing himself backward out
Of the door that he saved his life.
