The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1878-08-08

"A certain Professor in the, Vienna
University, who is possibly interested in
the prosperity of Westphalia, recently
announced that one out of every or 10
American hams contained Ttriehina,
while only one out of 1900 or more of
the hams of Westphalia was similarity
affected. The American Consul General
at Vienna, indignant at this reflection
upon an American product, took sup
ply of hams and interviewed the Pro-
fessor, who was forced TO admit that he
had spoken from hearsay. and on inves-
tigation found the American hams sound
and good. 1t is wen to have a Consul
who acts SO promptly in defending the
hams of his native land. Z

The Great Seal Of the United States.

Soon after the declaration of indie
pendence the subject of seal for the
States came. up for discussion, and a
committee was appointed to prepare a
great seal for the young republic; but
their device being unsatisfactory, an
other committee was appointed with
like result, and then a third committee,
whose report being rejected, the whole
matter was referred to Charles Thomson,
then secretary to Congress. From
John Adams, then in London, Mr..
Thomson received suggestion which
was given him by Sir John Prestwich, q
baronet of the west of England, who
was an accomplished antiquarian and an
ardent friend of the infant republic.
His simple and appropriate device was
approved and adopted. It consisted Of
an escutcheon bearing. thirteen perpen-
dicular stripes, white and red, on a
blue field, displayed on the breast of
the American eagle, whose right talon
held an olive branch, his left a bundle
of thirteen arrows, and in whose beak
was scroll Inscribed with the motto
E. PEari6Is Imam. For the crest, over
the head of the eagle, which appears
above the escutoheon, a golden glory
breaking through cloud, surrounding
thirteen white stafs in o blue field. On
the reverse, a pyramid unfinished. In
