From the New York Mail and Express.
All the governors of the state of Della

the Societe d Historic in Paris. in whose
rooms 1t is kept in a glass case during the
day. ard is locked in a freproof safe at

The Delawarean treasure is kept in an
old pine desk. whose lock could be forced
with a penknife. For years ii served as a
seat in chair which was too low to ac-
commodate person sitting in front of a
desk Then it was piled up with a lot of
old law reports. and not until three years
ago was ii placed where there was a SEM
blance OF safety. BibliophiieS regard the
