‘A view the New World. An interesting sub called American heraldry. The coats- of-arms and world nations, as might be expected, are monopolized by ideas of warlike power. European dynasties and kingdoms had no sympathy. pected, on the other hand, that seif- governing communities of frugal and industrious folk, set ina land where everything was to be won by arduous effort, should embrace every oppor- tunity to laud the labor which was the corner-stone of the fabric of their pros- perity—of their very existence. A glance through such a work as Prof. Hough’s ‘American Constitu- tions,”’ or Admiral Preble’s ‘History of the Flag of the United States of America,’’ will not fail to reveal an al- most universal recognition of industry and commerce. The most notable omission is in the case of the seal and arms. In not one of the designs sug- gested by or to the committee appoint- ed July 4, 1776, to prepare a device for the great seal of the United States—a committee whose members were Franklin, Adams, and Jefferson—was there any recognition of the peaceful arts. Adams’ design was the ‘Choice of Hercules’’—what a pity that upon our passports and commissions we do not behold delineated ‘the hero rest- ing on a club; Virtue pointing to her rugged mountain on one hand and persuading him to ascend; and Sloth glancing at her flowery paths of pieas- ure, wantonly reclining on the ground, lisplaying the charms both of her elo- uence and person, to seduce him into cel” Franklin was for a design pre- ating the whelming of Pharaoh; fferson for the “Children of Israel in e Wilderness, plus Hengist and orsa.’? Among the supporters in the cious designs afterward reported are be found American Indians, Roman aidiers, ‘maidens with loose auburn resses,” “knights in arms, with bloody iances,”’ but nowherea husbandman or an artisan, and on the great seal finally adopted June 20, 1782, nothing typifies labor, unless it be the unfin- ished pyramid which scoffers have in- sisted upon regarding as prophetic of the vas tea monument. Very different, however, is it with the arms of the different states; there the omission to recognize trade or in- dustry is the comparatively rare ex- ception, aine has as her supporters a hus- bandman leaning on his scythe and a sailor resting on an anchor. New Hampshire shows # ship on the stocks with American banners dis- played, and a group of busy ship- wrights, Vermont places beneath her tower- ing pine-tree three erect sheaves and a red cow—a nobler beast than any of the Hons, griffins, boars, and bears that ramp and roar through the forests of European heraldry. Massachusetts has a decidedly war- like coat-of-arms, with her belted and moccasined Indian, and her ‘dexter arm clothed and grasping a& broad- sword,”’ and Rhode Island's ‘‘ancker’’ has no reference to maritime interests. Nor do Connecticut's three vines, sup- ported and fruited, relate to viticult- ure, but, instead, to the three original plantations of Hartford, Windsor, and eathertield. New York’s arms have no recogni- tion of labor or trade, if we except the two vessels approaching each other on the Hudson. New Jersey, however, plows in an escuteheon, one of the supporters, crest a horse’s head. Pennsylvania’s supporting horses are of the rampant ‘old war-horse’’ breed, but her shield is charged with peace- ful emblems—a plow; on asea navy proper, a ship under full sail; anda stalk of maize. This coat-of-arms was taken chiefly from the old seal of the city of Philadelphia, adopted in 1701, which had in three of its quarters a balance, 8 wheat sheaf, and a ship sail- aE an ocean. elaware shows in one division of her azure shield a cow, and inthe other a sheaf of wheat and a bundle of leaf tobacco. The crest is aship under full sail, and the supporters are a mariner and a hunter. Maryland, in adopting the arms of Lord Baltimore, was so fortunate as to obtain as supporters a fisherman and plowman. displays three makes Ceres and takes as . Virginia, on the reverse of her great seal, which is nothing if not classical, shows Ceres, with her cornucopia in \ one hand and an ear of wheat in the other. t West Virginia hag an encyclopedic coat-of-arms.

North Carolina has on her shield a Cere with the cornucopia in one hand and in the other threo wheat ears. ia has always celebrated trade ustry with elaborate enthusi- asm. When George II. chartered the colony, in 1782, one face of the seal represented x provident and laborious colony of silk-worms, sericulture being the special object of the new settle ment. When it became a crown col- ony, in 1751, its sexi showed on one side the genius of the colony present- ing askein of s to the King. The convention of 1777 adopted ‘a seai whereon was shown “nn clegant house and other build@es, with © cattle, a river ro same with a ship uncer description leaving a8 to whether the river elegant house, or the Present seal, adopted in 17 rough AMERICAN COATS-OF-AKMS, Labor Recognized in the Heraldry of —one that hes not yet received the attention to which it is entitled—is that of the reeogni- tion of industry in what might be official emblems of old- ride and With popular rights and peaceful industries the founders of No less was it to be ex- > The } bears the 1 following elaborate device: | of the seashore, with a ship bearing | the flag of the United States riding at | anchor near a wharf, receiving on board hogsheads of tobacco and bales of cotton, emblematic of the exports of the state; at a small distance, a poat landing from the interior of the state | with hogsheads, etc., on board, repre- senting her internal traffic; in the back part, 2 man plowing, and ata small distance a flock of sheep in differ- ent postures, shaded by a flourishing | tree; the motto, ‘Ag ture and Commerce.’’’ Not a bad coat-of-arms for the thriving southern common- | wealth. Florida places a side-wheeled steam- boat on the river in the middle ground of her coat-of-arms. Arkansas crowds the shield upon the bosom of her eagle with a steamboat, a bee-hive and plow, anda sheaf of wheat. Tennessee places in one division of her coat-of-arms a plow, a wheat-sheaf, and a stalk of cotton, with the word, “Agriculture.’? ‘The lower half oceu- pied by a loaded barge, with the word, “Commerce.” Ohio, which was without any legal- ized seal for more than half a century, places the familiar wheat-sheaf on her shield, and has as supporters a farmer with sheaves of wheat and implements of agriculture, in the distance a loco- motive and train of cars and a smith with anvil and hammer, and also water and a steamboat.

Nebraska shows a blacksmith at work at his anvil, a sheaf of wheat on his right hand and a tree on his left; in the middle-ground are a wheat field, a log cabin, and a river bearing a steamboat, with, on the further bank, a locomotive and train of cars. Colorado bears on the lower haif of her shield a miner’s pick and mallet crossed. Of the territories, Utah has a bee- hive on a stand surrounded by flowers, with bees hovering near it. Washing- ton’s “female figure with flowing tresses” has an anchor by her side; to her right a city with spires and domes and asteam vessel; on her left a log cabin and a pine forest. On Dakota’s shield an anvil and agricultural imple- ments appear in decidedly incongruous juxtaposition with an Indian spearing a buffalo. Arizona is represented bya miner, dressed in shirt and trousers and a broad-leaved hat, resting on pick and spade. Montana shows plow, pick, and spade in the foreground of her shield. Wyoming displays in one compartment of her escutcheon a rail- road and a train of cars; in another are agricultural implements. Thus are labor and commerce repre- sented in American heraldry.—New York Mail and Express. > += = Nugget Jewelry. The rage just now is a rough, crusty gold, eighteen carats fine, studded with minute jewels, which stand out like the plums in a Ch: mas pudding. The chain and ball seems to be the leading style in the novelties sent out by Durand, the famous New York fashioner. The ch is very fine and the ball perfectly round, and about the size of an English sugar plum. These are attached to ladies’ fod chains, an elegant new trifle, and the ends of bracelets, and are also worn as eam rings. The balls are studded with tiny rubies, or with turquoise and diamonds, and many of the chains have fine jewels worked into them. Tae barbaric but stylish hoop ear-ring has returned in the shape of a semi-circle of nugget gold, and is now in high favor. A new engagement ring is a lover's Knot of dead Tough gold. A Popular style of pin is a gold horse- shoe on one end of a wrought-gold nail —good luck. The Langtry bracelet is composed of several strands of fine gold chain, each one ending ina ball pendant gemmed or enamelled. The ew styles sre elegant, and not outre; flower and insect jewelry is entirely passe. >= eo The Effect of Heat. “How is it the operating expenses of the road are more in summer than in winter?” demanded an irate stockhold- er who had just been assessed. “Because the road is longer in sum- mer, and irains have further to run,” replied the smiling president. “If the hot spell continues the line may ex- pand so as to make it necessary to cut | it off at one end.” And after the stockholder bad paid up and left, the president smiled again | id more stock shora, while the } figured up another assess- ; hurries, doesn’t often appear to find j keep in the shade, doesn’t seem to, that waicn pe Sits arms to sno in | Canada will be ready to receive Cana- | | dian defaulters on their arrival, and | | that everything will be done that can ‘ How he noses his way slowly along up | be gone Suunake setae Socither | B the little inlets, along bits of driftwood, mdattarmieation eoaliane aie ae ' NEW HOME & DOMESTIC around chunks of clay, says Bob Bur- : ds . i “Eagle.
