Thus. the union takes from our flag
when used separately from it in nag
composed of white stars on a blue field

ma ly among our naval people and sea-
taring men the word union" has been
dropped, and they speak of it now as
the Jack, and sailors are called Jack
Tars
The correct coat-of-arms appears on
the face Of the great seal of the United
states in the custody of the department
of state. This seal is used to attest pa
pers bearing the signature of the presi-
dent and has never been used for any
other purpose.
The seal now in use was cut in 1885
Frederick T. Frelinghuysen being the
secretary of state. after the designs had
been submitted by the department to
several historical scholars and authori-
ties on heraldry, and had been ap-
proved by them.
The device for the great seal is rep
resented by an American eagle with
outstretched wings, holding in its dex-
ter talon an olive branch bearing thir-
teen olives and thirteen leaves. and in
its sinister bundle oil thirteen arrows,
all proper. and in it's beak a scroll. in
scribed with the motto, e Pluribus
Unum.' Over the head of the eagle. a
glory, or, breaking through cloud,
thirteen stars forming a constellation.
On the eagles breast an escutcheon or
shield, the upper blank field separated
from the perpendicular stripes. which
form the lower portion. by horizontal
line This shield has a general resem-
blance to the flag with the stars omit
ted and with six red stripes, when the
shield is shown in colors. and seven
white stripes instead of seven red
stripes and six white. as provided for
the flag. The outside or border stripes
are white in the shield and red in the
flag.
The seal now in use having become
SO badly worn as to necessitate it's re-
newal. congress, at its last session, ap-
prOpriated the sum of 81 $50 for that
object, and the officials of the depart
ment of state have made arrangements
to have a new seal cut in accordance
with the wishes of congress. but it is
understood the work will involve no
change in the existing design.
