POSSIBLE ORIGIN OF THE STARS AND
STRIPEs-At the public breakfast of
Americans in London, on the last ami
versary of Washington s birthday, Bishop
M'Ilvaine, who presided, introduced Rev.
J. Simkinson, the rector Of the parish in
Northamptonshire, where the ancestors of
Washington lived. In the course of his
speech. which contained many interesting
historical illusions to :he family, which
he had traced out, Mr. s. stated that the
last English ancestor of Washington who
died on English soil lies buried in his
church, and said: .When | look down,
as | do in passing through the church, on
the stars and stripes of the arms of Wash
incton. nothing will ever persuade me or
my parishioners that we do not possess the
proof that your glorious and world re-
nowned country took the suggestion for
its fac from those arms When ! see the
three stars on the top of that shield, with
MS striped gnles and argent, or in plain
English, red aud white when | see the
five pointed stars, not six pointed stars,
which is peculiar, nothing will persuade
me that we do not possess the original
of the great and glorious American ban
ner." In closing his speech, he said
"Follow the course Of Washington. You
cannot have better TO follow. May | say,
in allusion to his arms, that | trust you
will always bear in mind his three stars
the star of truth, the star of patriotism,
and the star of trust in Goo"
