The Eagle and the Stars and Stripes.
I should like to call attention to one of our London churches. Little Trinity, in the Minories, though very interesting both to English and Americans, is not, I think, so generally known as it deserves. The church in question has been the burial place of the Dartmouths. Before the Washingtons left England these two families were united by marriage. On the wall of Little Trinity church may be seen the stars and stripes as the coat of arms of the Washingtons, afterward to become the flag and emblem of the great nation across the Atlantic--London Spectator.
