BUTTERFLY IMMIGRATION.
The Delicate Creatures Sometimes Travel
Immense Distauces,

The Delicate Creatures Sometimes Travel
Immense Distances.
A famous entomologist discusses the
interesting and comparatively novel
question whether butterflies regularly
migrate from north to south and back
again, after the manner of birds. That
they are capable of prolonged flights
cannot be disputed. They have been
taken repeatedly hundreds of miles
from land
I'm many parts of the world vast
swarms of single species have been seen
moving steadily in a specific direction,
not always with the wind" The writer
mentions especially the great swarms
of the thistle butterfly which in
vaded Europe in 1879. They pushed as
far north as Finland and were believed
to have come from Africa.
At present there is no positive proof
of regular semi-annual migration
north and south on the part of any
species of butterfly, but the Atlantic
writer mentions the splendid and famil-
lar mill1weed butterfly (danais archip-
pus), one of the largest and handsomest
of North American insects, as one of
the species which are most likely to be
found addicted to such habit.
within our knowledge it has spread
from this continent over the Pacific
ocean to Australia and Java and east
wardly TO the Atlantic borders of Eu-
rope, from England to Portugal and
the Azores" AS TO the probability that
It moves northward and southwark with
the season, the argument may be sum-
married thus:
The milkwec1 butterfly is distinc-
lively tropical insect, but is found every
season in Canada and has been credibly
reported from Hudson bay and beyond.
1t is certain that if it remains with us
through the winter it must be in its
butterfly stage-in other words, it must
hibernate. But most if not all of our
alternating butterflies have been found
In their winter quarters. while the
millkweed butterfly, larger I'd far more
conspicuous, has never been detected.
Our ordinary alternating butterflies
In New England come out in March,
April and early May, while the Archip-
pus is never seen till June, and is then
in fine livery, instead of being dull
colored and battered, as butterfly that
has hibernated almost invariably is.
Butterflies of this species are known
to go south in the autumn. There are
numerous records of enormous fioclSs
containing myriads upon myriads OF
individuals, clustering at nightfall upon
trees to such an extent as to change
their color and to bend the weaker
twigs."
In short, our Atlantic contributor
quotes with full approval the words Of
another naturalist:
There is a outward migration late
in the season in congregated masse,
and northward dispersion early in the
season through isola ted individuals. ~

The mountaineer peasants of north

CORNING. n. Y, July 13.-The Home
stead resolutions sent in these dis
patches last night went through the
convention of the American Flint Glass
Workers Union with bells on it to-day,
and were telegraphed at once to the
Iron Workers Committee at Home
stead. The Flint Workers also passed
the following additional resolutions and
sent them to Homestead:
WHEREAS, Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, the
controlling spirit in the firm OF Carnegie,
Phipps 81 Co.'s iron mills, located at Home
stead, Pa, has donated the sum or one
million dollars to the city Of Pittsburg for
the purpose of building free library; and
WHEREAS, 1t is the opinion OF this con-
vention the library will stand as monu-
ment of condemnation 10 organized labor;
and
WHEREAs-We recognize the fact that
this is a national convention OF America,
and recognizing the large number of mem
bers of the American Flint Glass Workers
Union in Allegheny county represented In
this convention who will be taxed for the
maintenance of said library; therefore,
be il,
Resolued-That all local unions OF AL
legheny county importune the Council OF
Pittsburg, both select and common, TO re-
consider their action in accepting salu
donation aud have it returned TO the doner.
Wind and rain caused a suspension Of
business in the convention. A cyclone
struck the town about 2 o'clock this al
ternoon, and for awhile, IL looked as II
the fragile wigwam in which the ses-
sons are held, would be wrecked. The
building was flooded with water which
caused hasty adjournment. The build
ing swayed to and fro terribly under
the wind but did not go down.
Cyril Dewyrall, national secretary OF
the Glass Decorators Union OF Amer
lea, is here with a delegation OF glass
decorators and wants the Flints to admit
the organization of their union. The
glass decorators organized on March
9TH, last, and have local unions In New
York, Philadelphia, New Bedford,
Mass, Meriden, Conn, Trenton, n. D.,
Watercure, Pittsburg and Jeannette,
Pa, and Fostoria, Ohio. At their ma
tional convention, held in Pittsburg
last month, it was decided to apply for
admission to the American Flint Glass
Workers Union.
Mr.. DeWyryll will be probably grant
ed hearing by the convention to-mor-
row. The Engraving Committee is
ready TO report. A telegram from the
National Window Glass convention, In
session at Plttsburg, expressing frater-
nal greetings TO the Flints, was receiv-
ed this morning, and a similar one was
sent back to the window glass men.

than ten votes stronger on the direct
proposition, and the resolution reported

by a vote OF 136 yeas against 154 nays,
the majority against consideration Of

the death Of silver legislation at this

PARKERsRURG, w. VA, July 1S.-
Edward Clouston is behind the bars and
occupies the same cell with murderer
John Mortimer. His father-in-law, who
is the Republican candidate for Sheriff,
and who has all along kept
him out OF jail, has at
last concluded that 1t would be political
suicide 20 go on his bond.
The colored dupes OF Clouston are
also behind the bars. The excitement
over the affair has been greater during
the day than IL was last night, and the
opinion expressed on all sides concern
ing tho affair from the beginning are
the extreme antithesis OF encomiastic.
Several more arrests will probably be
made al an early date. Wilson Jones,
one OF the prisoners, says Clouston of
iered him $50 TO get the box for him.
Elmer Shumway. witness In one OF
the cases against Clouston, started
home last night, but was brought
back. Shumway says Clouston told
him he incident return as be (Clouston)
had secured and destroyed all OF the'
evidence, papers, etc. Ia the case, and
that would end all the cases against
him. Shumway says Clouston told him
the above about two o'clock yesterday.
The discovery OF the robbery was not
made until three o'clock. Shumway
told Clouston's bondsmen the same
thing.
Charles Webb, the porter OF the Blen-
nerhassett hotel. one OF the prisoners,
says that at III o'clock yesterday WIN.
jackson, the other prisoner, came 20
him at the corner OF the hotel and ask
ed him IL there was a certain box Ia the
baggage room. Webb asked for de-
scriptlon when jackson gave him the
exact measurement OF the box which
contained the papers, Webb says he
then told Jackson such box was there
and that jackson met Clouston IN the
alley In the rear OF the hotel where
they had conversation. Webb says,
this is all he knows about the robbery.
Clouston was brought into the Circuit
Court this morning TO answer an Old IN
dictment standing against him 10 that
Court. The former bondsmen were
discharged and be was put In the charge
OF the officers, his old bondsmen re-
iusing TO have anything more 70 do
with him. He WAS then taksn 20 jail
aud locked up. This afternoon Cloustor
was taken before squire ot6pIsrOh Hnu
a number OF witnesses summoned. Dave
ID. johnson. CloUston's attorney, waived
examination, and ClouSton was COM
mitted to jail In defanlt OF bail.
To the people generally Of this city IL
is apparent that somebody is afraid OF
Clouston. He has been treated all along
not as a criminal, but as an honored
guest OF special prominence whose feel
ings should not be hurt by anything APP
preaching disapproval. Behind IL all,
light is appearing, and sensation OF
generous Dimensions will shortly come
TO the surface.
