THE BUREAU OF ENGRAVING.

As soon as the act authorizing the funding
of the continued 81 per cent bonds into 3
per cents was passed, the Secretary of the
Treasury directed the Chief of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing to prepare models for
the new bonds and submit them for his ap-
proval. This was done, and the plates of
some of them have already been made and
the printing commenced. The bonds will be
registered only, and of the denominations OF
$50, 800, $500, 81, 900 and $4,000. The face
of the $50 will have in the upper centre
portrait of ex-Secretary Of the Treasury Fes-
senden, with lathework counter containing
the denomination on either side. In the low
er centre will be picture Of the Treasury
Department building. Over the head of Fes-
senden, forming the arc of a circle, are the
words, ''Three per cent loan, 1882" and I'M
mediately beneath the portrait is the date of
issue, "August l, 1882" Along the left side
extend the Roman fasces and axe, with the
monogram ''E Pluribus Unum" in scrollwork.
Down the right border are the words ACT OF
July y. 1882" The centre is filled up with
the story. The other denominations will be
the same, with the exception of the necessary
changes to indicate the amounts and the por-
traits. which will be as follows On the $500
the head of Dewitt Clinton on the $500, that
of Benjamin Franklin on the 81 600, that OF
ex-President Garfield, and on the $40, ,OOO that
of Alexander Hamilton. The backs of these
bonds will be different from any that have
ever been made On the first fold will be a
large denomination lathework counter on the
second will be, first, the act authorizing their
issue, then an oval denomination lathe-wolk
counter, under which will be the number
of the bond Then follow the words, ,""Uni-
ted States Three Per Cent Loan of 1882
Transfer, No. -. Original date-and origi-
nal number" Thus making complete brief
of the bond. This form of brief is Secretary
Folger's own idea and it's convenience will
readily be seen. The remainder of the back
is occupied by the regular form of transfer
which is found on all registered bonds. The
backs will be printed in the following col
ors $3.50, green; 500, blue; $500, red I;
81, 900, brown, and $4,000, black. With the
passage of the National Banking act author
izing the national banks whose charters were
shortly to expire to continue their organlZa-
tions within two years, it was determined oy
Secretary Folger to make new notes which
should present additional obstacles to the coun-
terfeters. AS the five dollar note was the
one most generally selected an entire new
model of this note was prepared by Mr.. George
w. Casilear, the superintendent OF the en-
craving division, which is as follows On the
left is a large portrait of eX-President Garfield,
above which is small lathe work denomina-
ton counter, and the charter number OF the
the bank is repeated six times in the border
The usual title and story fills up the centre.
In the denominations of S10 $40, $50 and
500 no change has been made in the vignettes,
but the charter number is repeated In the
border as in the five dollar notes. The backs
of all the new notes will be printed in choco-
late brown instead OF green as heretofore,
and in the centre, where the large pictures
have been placed, there will be a large series
of lathework counters, across which will be
printed in some color yet to be selected the
charter number of the bank, each figure rest
ing upon lathework counter. The National
Banking act authorized the issuing of gold
certificates, and the models for these are now
being prepared by Mr. Casilear. Washington
Republican.
ADVICE TO BoYs.-Horace Mann writes
s.You were made to be kind, generous, magnan-
imous. If there is boy in school who has a
club foot, don't let him know that you ever
saw it. If there is lame boy, assign him
some part of the game which does not require
running. If there is hungry one, give him
part of YOUR dinner. If there is a dull one
help him on with his lesson. If there be a
bright one, be not envious OF him; Tor II
one boy is proud of his talents, and another
| is enyious of them, there are two great
wrongs and no more talent than before. II Z
larger or stronger boy has injured you, anC
is sorry for it, forgive him, and request tht
teacher not to punish him. All the schoo
will show by their countenance how mucf
