uNclE SANS oRsAT seal.
II v'as Desigred by British subjeot Over
a Hundred Years Ago.

The great seal OF the United States Is Of
peculiar interest from the fact that IL Is
possibly the only one in the world That
was designed for governments by the sub
jcct Of an opposing government We owe
our coat Of arms to Sir John Prcstwich,
baronet of the west of England, who was
warm friend OF America and an accom-
plishcd antiquarian. His admiration for
Washington undoubtedly influenced his
design, as the Washington arms are rather
similar to our seal. Originally the selec-
ton of the seal was left to a committee mp
pointed by congress and composed Of Ben
jainin franklin, John Adams and Thomas
Jefferson, and they employed a French
West Indian named Du Siniticro not only
to furnish designs hut to sketch such dc
signs as were suggested by themselves In
cne Of his drawings the artist displayed on
shield the arnorial ensigns Of the several
nations whence America had been pcopled,
embracing those of England, Scotland,
France Germany and Holland
After several other committees had vain
ly tried to perfect seal which should meet
the approval Of congress Charles Thonp-
son, its secretary, several years later, re-
ceiycd from John Adams then in London,
an exceedingly simple and appropriate de-
Nbf-t1N7NN'
! consisted of an oscutcheon bearing II per-
| pendieular stripes, white and red, with
| field blue, and spangled with 10 stars, and,
| to give il great consequence, he proposed
| placing on It the breast of an American
| eagle without supporters as emblematical
| OF self reliance. AT last this met with gem
eral approval in and out Of congress and
was adopted in June, 1852. So tits mani
| fest, although the fact is not extensively
| known, that we are indebted for our ma
tional arms TO titled oristocrat Of tho
country with which we were thon at war.
1t was cut in brass soon after it had been
decided upon, and it is found on a com
mission dated Sept. 16, 1882 granting full
power and authority TO Washington TO ar
range with the British for prisoners Of war
This seal continued in use for 90 years
The present seal differs from it only in dc
tail of execution. Tho design Of the reverse
has pyramid, over which there is an eye
in a triangle. For some reason this side o.
the seal was not cut then, nor has it beer
cut since, but has been allowed 70 go un
noticed officially until the present day
The second seal was cut In lS4l, Danio
Webster then being secretary of state. Jhl
one was continued in use up to 1885, whei
the seal now in use was cut-New Iori

MAY RECALL BARON FAvA.
Italian Government, IL Is Reported, Ma.
Replace Its ambassador.

WASHINGTON, Sept. "A well known
Italian of this city has received letter
from bone stating that Baron Fava, en-
bassador from Italy to the United States,
had been recalled.
The letter was written by a clork in the
Italian foreign Office, who states that the
recall Of the ambassador was decided upon
at meeting Of the Rudini cabinet on
Aug. 18. The cause, the writer stated,
was a general dissatisfaction with the bar
on's actions on the part Of Italians In the
United States as we'll As in Italy.
It was also stated that the ministry and
the people had used the recent Italian
troubles in Louisiana as an excuse for
bringing forward again the charge that
Baron Fava had failed to secure from The
United States sufficient indemnity for the
New Orleans Malta lynchings.
Mother Baron Faya nor any member oi
the Italian legation could be seen in regard
to the report No information has been
received except through the letter men
toned.
