makes some surprising announcements

Butterflies use their wings with per-

erence to securing from the general government

deposit act, passed by Congress. June 2S, 1886.
The money was payable to the States in four
instalments, three OF which were promptly paid.
The fourth came due during the monetary re-.
vulsion Of 1887 and payment was delayed on &C.
count OF the scarcity OF money in the U. S. Treas
urv. Il was afterwards put off from time to time
for the same reason, aud has never yet been
paid, though the act has not been repealed.
Twenty'sx States are said to be entitled to
share OF the fund, aud Delaware's proportion will
