FIRST PRESIDENT^ FLAO.
{tared and submitted by Charles Thomson.
Secretary of Congress, and by
William Barton, of Philadelphia.
The oldest document that has beeu
preserved bearing its imprint is a
parchment commission dated September
10. 1782. granting full power and
authority to tJetierul Washington to
arrange with the British for an exchange
of prisoners of war. sigued by
John Hanson. President of Congress,
and countersigned by Charles Thomson.
Secretary.
As adopted by the old Congress, the
great seal was continued in force and
effect under the present Federal Government
by the law of Congress of September
l"t. 17S0. creating the Department
of State. and was placed in the
custody of the Secretary of State, who
was required to affix it to all civil commissions
to officers of 'he I'nitcd States
appointed bv the Prc#i<k'Ut bv and with
the advice and consent of the Senate,
or by the President alone, after they
shall have received the President's
signature.

The design on the flag is not '.-hanged

Printing in Pemln.
Printing from type in Persia is not
egarded with popularity. This counry
is at tbe present day entirely dependent
upon lithography for the naive
production of books and Journals?
K-hieh are very rare. A short time ago
i press with movable types was set
ip. and upon which a certain number
>f books was printed. The effort, how.
'Ver. met with no encouragement and
jad to be abandoned. Tbe unpopuiarty
of type-printing in Persia is due
;o two principal causes: First, tbe
itraiglitness of the lines offends a Per iau's
artistic sense, and. secondly, in
printed books the character of the leters
is entirely lost. The Persian
eader prefers a well-written maun
script, and. failing tins, fie contents
limself with n lithograph, which is ustally
the facsimile of the writing of
oiue fairly good scribe.?Scieutiflc
