The Government Seal.

When on July 4, 1776, the continent
tai congress declared the English
American colonies to be free and indie
pendent states, they appointed a com
nittee to report a device for a seal
the emblem of sovereignty. That COM
mittee and others from time to time
presented unsatisfactory devices. FL
naHy, IN the spring of 1889, Charles
thompson, the secretary of congress,
gave to that body device largely sug-
gested to John Adams, then United
States minister TO the court of Great
Britain, by Sir John Prestwich, an
eminent English antiquary. This sug-
gestion was made the basis of a de-
sign adopted by congress, June 90,
1892, and which is still the device of
the great seal of the republic.

Ont Two Stage Robbers.
zone day III October, 1877, | was
ct ging 1t IN northern California, 7 said
Thomas M. Spencer to d st. Louis
Globe-D Democrat man. There were
six of us IN the coach. we were talk
ing about stage robbers Suddenly
there was halt and one of the party
said Speak OF the devil ard he will
appear Wei, awe all got up and stood
in line and gave up our purses and
watches The drivsr had thrown Off
the mail bag and the Wells-Fargo safe.
There were two robbers, neither Of
them masked. They were not polite
like the knights of the road of ro-
nance, but swOre continuously. The
job was done in about five minutes, and
the robbers told the driver to go ahead.
Wedid so for half mile or so, when one
of the passengers, a silent man whom
I had taken for commercial man,
said to the driver: 60 slowly and
wait for me at the ford. He tken pro
dnced Winchester from the botto m OF
the coach and started back over the
road alone. Who is hep we asked the
driver. 'Wells-Fargo man, I guess;
never saw him before, but I guess he
knows his business II he comes back,
he will have got them; if he don't,
they'll have got him
Twenty minutes later we heard
some rapid firing. We stopped at the
ford. Nearly an hour passed, and then
the man who had gone back appeared
on the trail. He walked slowly, as if
in pain, and bloody handkerchief
was tied about his head. Drive basa
and get the box he said to the driver.
Did You get emp asked the driver
Both of 'em, he replied. We drove
back. In the middle OF the road where
we had been held up both men lay
dead. The Wells-Fargo detective, cal
culating that they would stop to rifle
the mail bag and the strong box, di-
ride the plumber and then separate,
had quietly walked back. One Of them
he dropped with his Winchester before
he was suspected; the other got in one
shot before he fell, and that had
struck the brave man glancing blow
IN the head. Our property was all re-
stored to US, We helped bury the dead
'obbers by the roadside. The brave of
icer refused to accept the purse We
hastily raised for him.
