Captain Patrick was amazed. He had
encountered almost as many stowaways
as sharks, but never before had the

The New Three Per Cent Bonds.

The first Of the new three per cent bonds were
issued this afternoon. There are five denOmina-
lions of these bonds, viz, $50. 500, $780, 81 OOO
$1,000 Three hundred and fifty million dollars OF
the bonds have been printed. Each denomination
of the new bonds has distinctive head as fol
lOws:-S50, Fessenden; 800. Dewitt Clinton; $500
Franklin; $1,000, Garfield: $4,000. Hamilton.
The bonds are composed OF distinctive paper with
threads running through similar to the paper
used in the national bank notes and greenbacks.
Each bond bears view OF the Treasury depart
ment The corner pieces are OF scroll work, In
which Is interviewer the denomination Of the
bond The bonds are called the 'sthree per cent
loan OF 1892" which legend is printed across the
border, are the words, 'Acr OF July IL, 1852" On
the opposite border inlaid offerings OF sthree

''Fasces," entwined with ribbon, bearing
the motto ssE Pluribus Unum' and with the mono
gram {. s. on the center piece. On the right and
left OF the portrait is the denomination in geo.
metric lathe work: In each of the letters of the
legend is engraved "Unlted States of America" in
white faced letters on a black back ground FORM
ing the shank OF the letters The title OF the bond
"United States OF America" is printed in large
All are dated August /, 1882. The denomination is
engraved in tint to prevent phOtographing. The
numbers are printed on scroll work panels on each
side OF the portrait. The panels and the denom-
nations are printed in fugitive tintS to prevent the
alteration of numbers. The space for the name Of
the payee is also tinted. There are three seals on
the bonds-the Secretarys printed seal and the
The Treasury department. The face of
the bonds is printed in black with five
distinct tints. The color OF the backs is
different-green on the $50, blue on the 500, red
on the $780, brown on the $1,000, and black on the
$4,000 There are five different patterns of scroll
work on the back Of the bonds. One popularity
OF the new bonds Is that they are printed in such
a way that when folded the whole story OF the
bond can be read without opening the bond. This
Is Secretary Folger'S design.
