The Chautauqua Idea.

When,i 1874, John I'll. Vincent
and Lewis Miller established the
Chautauqua Assembly on the shores
of Chautauqua Lake, in southwest
ern New York, they builded better
than they knew. Established as a
Sunday-school assembly it has grown
to be the pattern for forty similar
summer gatherings; it has expanded
from a resort exclusively devoted to
the study of the Bible and methods
of instruction in Sunday schools in
to a great summer school where ev-
ervthing from Hebrew to cooking is
taught, where hundreds gather to
study, and even more 60 to be enter
tanned.
Moreover, the word Chautauqua,
coupled with the words "Literary
and Scientific Circle has encircled
the globe. Entering upon the sec
ond decade of its history, this medi-
um for educating the masses now
numbers its graduates by two score
and two thousand. During its his.
tory one hundred and fifty thousand
persons have applied for and receiv-
ed guidance in general course of
reading. Twrnty-two hundred cir.
cles have been at work the past year
in every State of the Union, every.
province of Canada, in Great Britain,
Japan. India, South Africa, New
Zealand, Australia, South America
and the Hawaiian Islands. So: sue
cessful, so profitable has the work
of the G.. L. S. G.. been to its thous-
ands of graduates that additional
courses in English history and liter
ature have just been perfected by
Prof. FL. B. Adams, of John Hop
kins University, and Prof. w. d.
McClintock, of Wells College. Auro-
ra, n. Y. The work done under
these able professors direction, sup
plemented by rigid examination, will
be step in advance of anything
that the C.. L. S. c. has hitherto at
tempted, and will give it higher rank
in scholastic circles.
The Chautauqua Literary and Sci
entific Circle encourages reading ha-
bits among the masses. The College
of Liberal Arts, with its nearly six
hundred pupils in attendance this
summer, its able faculty and its cor
respondence system of instruction,
endeavors to give to those who may
be so fortunate as to be able to at
tend the summer assembly at Chau-
tauqua, n. Y. or to those who must
gain their knowledge by correspon-
dence, that increased intellectual
power which comes from downright
study. For those to whom residence
at college is impossible, and yet who
crave culture and expansion of the
intellect, the G.. G. L. A. comes as a
Godsend.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR I
Washinqton, -Auqust 26.

Washington. August 26.
To detect counterfeit bill on care
full inspection seems easy and almost
all men accustomed to handling mon
ey have a private conceit that they
would know a counterfeit on sight.
Stand any day beside the patient
messenger in the secret service divis-
ion of the treasury department and
listen to the comments of people who
are looking over the books of counter
felt bills and notes. This one is good,
that one is bad, they think, and their
verdict is generally positive. I no.
ticed specialized, important looking
young man, with lady on his arm,
and few friends with him, looking
over the book, Saturday. They were
evidently a bridal party, and as they
conversed / learned that the groom
was bank cashier from some place
with an unpronouncable name out in
Wisconsin. Yes, Harry would tell
us about it, would tell us the good
counterfeit from the bad, and he did
it, while the patient attendant held
his sighs. The way Harry blundered
on was remarkable, and even the at
tendant showed signs of impatience,
where he pronounced to be misera-
BILE boteh, the bond popularity suppos-
to have been made from plates stolen
from the government and secretly
purchased back from the thieves.
ssQuite the easiest thing in the world
to tell counterfeit BILL" concludes
Harry complacently as the party
moves on.
The annals of the secret service tell
the story of patient and skilled Grim
inals, organized and with money,
working for months and years, some
times in the garrets and cellars of
crowded cities and sometimes in re.

Haunted houses do not remain deserte

Haunted houses do not remain deserted
in this country, nor are places desolated
by storms permitted to lapse into wilder
nesses. Neither traditions nor super
stitions can check the nervous restless
ness of the American people. There is
no storm of excitement but it will blow
over, no outburst of indignation but it
will die down. Sentiments have brief
sway; there is no time to cultivate them.
A member of the South Fork Fishing
Club says that the dam whose breaking
sent death down the Conemaugh Valley
will be rebuilt and the pleasure grounds
of the club restored. But the club will
wait till the legal proceedings begun
against it are brought to conclusion.
BY that time the inclination, if not the
ability of the club to build may have
eyapOrted.

mote isolated country houses, for the
ssstake" that shall secure idleness
and respectability and prosperity
when the work is done. Not few
counterfeiters have been engravers
who haunted by the fear of failing
vision, or the loss of touch have hop
ed to jump at once into fortune and
be rid of the wearing work forever.
Not few are refined, sensitive fell
lows, totally unlike the vulgar 'shov-
er of the queer" who spends two
thirds of his life behind prison bars.
The doing sometimes shown by
these adventurers is a hackneyed
subject. Think of Mccartney, the
wonderfully skilled engraver, lectur-
ing onssHow to Detect Counterfeits,
and passing counterfeits of his own
manufacture in the change given out
at the door. Mccartney is just now
in prison, but he has been at various
times treasury department expert,
agent of the secret service, artist,
mule driver, cattle dealer, saloon
keeper and machinist. He is said,
but probably the story should be taxi
Ell with grain of allowance, to have
made a plate in two weeks that it
takes most workmen six months to
finish.
Half the improvements in the gen.
uine bills have beeu the suggestion
of counterfeiter. The little silk
thread woven into the bill, which is
still supposed by many people to be
proof against counterfeiting, was the
idea of Tom Ballard, a notorious
counterfeiter, now doing thirty-five
years sentence at Albany.
1t is really remarkable that such
fearfully long sentences have not re-
tarded counterfeiting, but they have
not. I saw counterfeiter sentenced
three years ago at Louisville, to
twenty years Imprisonment. He was
nearly eighty years old, scared and
SCARED by chemical poisoning, and
vet he received his sentence without
finching. He had played his cards
and lost.
The counterfeiting of paper money
is principally limited by the expense
of the necessary plant. A plate for
genuine bill costs about 81 800 and
the counterfeiter, if he be not his
own engraver, must pay far more
for it. Then he must provide an ex-
pensive plate press, ink, paper and
other necessaries. These can only be
operated where every possible danger
of interference is as nearly met as
possible. Thus the business becomes
a blasted monopoly, as one may say.
That the government universally
makes inadequate provision for its
professional employees is evinced in
the case of the supervising architect
of the treas ury department. The
present incumbent was only induced
to accept the position with the under
standing that he would be allowed
two days each week to attend to his
own business in Philadelphia, thus
retainining the better part of his pri

monters are assembled in Vermont
town. The collection of people was
also very large. The whole country
seemed to have turned out-largely
in their own vehicles. The day was
superb and the spot piece of typi-
cal Vermont scenery, a fine plateau
surrounded by lovely hills and richly
green forests. The appearance OF
the citizen soldiery of our state was
highly gratifying and commendable,
and on the whole "Governor's day"
at the State encampment was a dis
tinguished success.

So much has been said of late re-
garding Vermont and her farms and
farmers that some think our position
is something unique, that Vermont is
alone in her experience as regards
drain upon her native population.
The Philadelphia Press, however,
shows that s'Vermont is not the only
State on the Atlantic seaboard that
needs repeopling. Every State east
of the Ohio river has thousands of
acres of good farming lands which
are lying idle for the want of tillers.
The'young farmers have emigrated
to the West or gone to the cities,
and the foreign immigrants that have
settled here are found almost wholly
in the manufacturing towns. The
annual report of the Massachusetts
bureau of labor statistics for 1887
noted a market decrease in the popu-
lation of the rural districts and the
hill towns. The explanation given,
when a reason was sought, was that,
'sthe young men leave, the old die,
and no one comes to take their pla-
ces.' Most of the other Eastern
States, if questioned, would proba-
bly, have to tell the same story

The Fourth Annual Convention of
the Christian Endeavor Societies of
the State of Vermont will be held in
Rutland, Oct. 80 and 31st next. It
will doubtless be the largest and
most enthusiastic convention of
Christian Endeavor ever held in the
State. The very best speakers are
being secured. Governor W. P.
Dillin CHAM will visit the Convention
and extend greetings. Other speak
ers are engaged, such as Rev. F. E.
Clark, D. D., founder of the Chris
tian Endeavor movement; Rev. j.
L. Sewall, former President of the
Union; Rev. j. Wilbur Chapman,
d. D., of Albany, who will by re-
quest repeat his address on Duty,
which awakened such enthusiasm at
the National Convention at Phila-
delphia last month, and other speak
ers of equal ability have been engag-
ed. and the Convention wiIbe-
of rare opportunity. Each Society
will be entitled to two delegates,
but large number outside of these
will be present. Rutland will do its
best to make this gathering a success.
Reduced rates will be given to all in
attendance by the railroads and ho-
tells.

Pennsylvania claims the distinction
of having been the most profusely ir-
rigated state in the Union during the
present season. The state weather
service has calculated that, if gather
ed in one place, the rainfall in the
state this year would form lake
1000 miles square and thirty-fve
feet in depth. At the time of the
Johnstown flood 7,O0O,OOO,OOO tons
of water fell upon the mountains and
plateaus of northern Pennsylvania.
1t is proposed by Chicamauga Me-
mortal association that the ground on
which the celebrated battle of Chica-
mauga was fought be brought by the
association and converted for all time
into national park. This project
will be pushed at the annual reunion
of the Army of the Cumberland,
when it is held at Chattanooga on
Sep. 19. Efforts are being made to
secure the attendance at this reunion
of members of the Confederate army
who fought in the battle of Chica-
manga.
