Coupons of higher numbers than the num-
berS given above are not egitimately on the
market.
Registered bonds issued under the funding
act and prior to the repeating act of 1872 are
called registered cousols. and are converti-
bic at the will of the holder into coupon con-
soils.
Registered bonds issued subsequent to the
repeating act Of March T. 1872, are called reg
istcred peelers," and are convertible at the
will of the owner into coupon peelers.'
Cousol coupons a.e receivable for taxes;
peeler coupons are not.
The only apparent difference between reg
istered coDsols' and registered peelers' ls
that the former were issued before 7th March,
1872, and the latter after that date: The date
upon the bonds readily affords this informa,
ton.
County and city treasurers have sometimes
been subjected to loss because of their lgnor

VIRGINIA BONDS. There being want of
information on the part of many and misap-
preheuson on the part of others in regard to
the different classes and denominations of State
bonds issued under the act of March 30th,
1871, known as the Funding Bill, we have
gathered the following facts from the clerks Of
the Treasurer's office. ghey will prove of value
to many persons engaged in handling bonds
and coupons, and will be- of interest to the peo-
pie generally.
There are TWO classes OF these bonds coupon
and registered. The coupon bouds are of two
sorts-one payable to ''order," the other pay
tered bonds are of the denominations of 500,
$500, and 81 900, and no TWO kinds are printed
10 exactly the same COLOR The "order" boud
of 500 is blue, the $500 chocolate, and tho
81 900 red. The Sl0O "bearer" bond is orange
colored. tho $500 blue, and the $1,000 choco-
late. To each coupon bond there is attached
sixty-seven coupons, aud they are numbered on
the back l, 2, 3, &c., representing the lst, I'd,
Sd, &c., semi-anuua 1instalmeuts OF interest
from July l, 1871. Over the number of the
coupons, printed on the back, are the words
receivable at aud after maturity for all taxes,
debts. and demands due the State" On the
face of each is the plumber of the boud to which
the coupon belongs, aud the amount of SEMI
annual interest and date when due, and also
the quotation from the act receivable at and
after" &C. Each class and denomination of
coupons have different vignettes, also fac
smile of the signature of Geo. Rye" Treas
urer. All these coupons belong to the Vir-
giuia coDsol bonds
The coupon bonds known as ''peelers" are
being issued by authority OF the act of March
7, 1872 These are of the denominations 500
and 81 ,0O0 The quotation receivable for taxes
the only apparent difference between coupons
of consols aud pcelers.

Mars aud the EsriI. Curs. l,mr.

The first view Of Mars shows I'm an. &,
with our own planet, in the distribution. Of
climate into frigid, temporal, and torriA
zones. The study Of its topography will, On
the other hand, show very characteristic
dissimi!arity between the condguration of
Mars and that Of the earth. On our planet
the seas have greater extent than the cou-
our globe is covered with water. The terra
.frna is divided chiefly into three great
Islands or continents, ono extending from
East or West, and constituting Europe and
Asia the second, situated to the South of
Europe, in shape like a V with rounded
angles, is Africa tho third is on the oppo.
slto side OF the earth, and lies North and
South, forming two VS., ono above the
other. If to these we add the minor contin.
cnt of Australia, lying to the South of Asia,
we have general idea of the con1yuration
of our globe.
1t is different with tho surface of Mars.
where there is more land than sea, and where
the continents, instead of islands emerging
from the liquid element, seo,n rather to make
the oceans mere inland ssas-genuino Medi
terraneans. In Mars there Is neither an
Atlantic nor Pacific, and tho journe,
arouQl it might be made dryshod. Its seas
are Mediterraneans, with CULTS Of various
shapes, extending hither and thither in
great numbers into the terra yfrma, after the
manner of our Red Sea. .
The seco<Id character, which also would
make Mar, recognizable at distant, is that
the. seas. lie in the southern hemisphere
mostly, occupying but little space in the
Northern, and that these Northern and
southern seas are joined together by a
thread Of water. On the entire surface of
Mars there are three such threads of water
extending from the South to the North, but
us they are SO wide apart, it is but rarely
that mere than one Of them can be seen ut
time. The seas and straits which connect
them constitute very distinctive character
of Mars, and they are generally perceived
whenever the telescope is directed to that
planet.-GG. Flanmarion, in Popular Science
