New Three Fer Cent Bond.

The first of the new three per cent
United States Bonds were issued from
the Treasury at Washington, on the
4th. They are five denominations, VIZ. :
$50, 800, 500, $1,000 and SO, 200.
Three hundred and fifty million dollars
of the bonds have been printed. Each
denomination of the new bonds has a
distinctive vignette, as follows: $50,
Fessenden; 800, De Witt Clinton !;
$500. Franklin; $1,000. Garfield; Sl0,-
900 Alexander Hamilton. They are print
ell on distinctive paper, with threads
running through it similar to the paper
usei for the national bank notes and
greenbacks. Each bond bears a view
of the Treasury Department. The cor
ner pieces are of scroll work, in which
is interviewer the denomination of the
bond. The bonds are called ''The
three per cent. loan of lSS2," which
egend Is printed across the upper part
OF the face. On the right hand in the
border are the words "Act OF July II,
1882" On the opposite border are in
laid letterings of "three per cent. )"
near this is an engraved "fasces" en-
twined with ribbon bearing the motto
"E Pluribus Unum,' with the mono
gram "U. s." on the centre piece on
the right and left of the portrait is the
denomination in geomet1c lathework.
In each of the letters of the Legend is
engraved "Umied States of Anne lea -
in Whitehead letters ON a black back
ground forming the shank of the let
ters. In the title of the bord "United
States of America" Is printed in large
scroll lett Is across the face under the
vignette. All are dated August l, 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 denominations 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-thc printed
seal of the Secret4ry's Cflice, an em-
bosse1 seal and a printed seal Of the
Treasury Department. The face OF the
bonds is printed i'll black, with five dis
tinct tints. The color Of the backs Is
different in each denomiuation-gree
on the so, red on the $500, brown on
the 5000 and black on the $4,000 ;
There are five different patterns of scroll
work on the back of the bOnls. 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 oDening the bond.

The Jabiru OF Senegal

This bird belongs to genus allied to
the one containing the marabou which
is so well known to those who frequent
geological gardens, aud to the same
family as our storks. 1t is impossible
in examining it not to make the reflection
that animals possess q physiognomy in
keeping with their habits. The marabou
a bird of frevolting voraciousness, which
shares with the vulture the duty of
disposing of carcasses and variorIs kinds
of filth living around, is fully as repul-
sive in its aspec: as the iabiru is at
tractive. 1t Is, in fact, because the
latter eats living prey and has the bold
and free step of the hunter, Living in
the vicinity Of pon1s andriyers, it hunts
and fishes by turns. II often flies,
which is some thing that the marabnu
rarely does. as the latter is kept on the
ground by its duty rs a scaveager.
The iabiru lives in pairs. AMI the male
and female of each couple never leave
one another. Its area OF distrib Ition
quite an extended one. From the banks
of the White Nile, as far ss Senegal
having for northern limit the fourteenth
degree Of latitude, it lives in the whole
center and southwest OF Africa, although
nowhere abundant.
1t is larger than our stork, and its
hanE tho nf rtC
head, neck, and tail are of brilliant
black, while the lower parts Of its body
are of beautiful white. Its red and
black bill is provided with rwo pendent
wsttles that have been hkened 10 a
saddle, and that have sometimes given
the bird the name of saddled stork. In
captivity it is pleasant companion. 1t
respects its neighbors, but wishes to be
respected by them. Like the stork, it
has great gard for its dignity and does
not allow any one to lniure it. Accord
ing to Bennett, who has made ObServa-
tions on Australian jabirus IN captivity,
the habits Of which are much like those
of the Senegal bird, and according to
DIR. Bodinus. who has had several OF
the latter i'll his possession, they are
easy to rear and do not suffer from
changes in temperature. 1t would
perhaps be possible, then, to acciimate
them in our co.,ntry, where they might,
while proving an ornament to our mashes,
render service by destroying frogs, field
mice, and o her vermin. They would
swallow here and there few fish; but,
since Europe will soon witness the
death of the last heron, it would prove
a certain compensation for the friends
of animals If they could replace that by
bird of more sociable habits, and
vlich by that very fact would be more
effectually protected. The new boarder
at the Jardin des Plants, to Judge from
the pale tints of its piumage, is still a
young bird. 1t does not appear to us
TO enjoy very vigorous health. We
have seen it often, and it was always
seated and making aplaintive clucking,
and partially opening with A sickly air
its long bill, whose upper mandlble had
been mende1 with a piece OF tin.

The originator of the race meeting at
Goodwood was the well known Earl of
Egremont, who. early IN the present CEN
tury. transferred little meeting which fo-
many years mad been held in Petworth
Park to the beautiful course which is 50
charmingly placed, with the Duke of
Richmond's palace on one side and the
wide expanse of downs on the other. Du-
ring the first twenty years of its existence
the meeting took place sometimes in the
spring snd sometlnes IN the autumn; ii was
not until about 1927 that it VAS perina-
nent Y fixed for the last week In July, and
1; has since been regarded as the wind W

Tom Psine's Grave.

A correspondent. writes: Driving
through the village of new Rochelle
lately, l observed that the Tom Paine
monument was very much married by
relic hunters, who have Clipped of
pieces from every side. Many suppose
| that this monument mark Paine's grave
but this is not the case. He was buried
there, but his bones were carried to
England ten years after his death (lSl9)
by William Cobbett, who intended to
hold grand funeral. The plan met
no encouragement, and the result was
that the box containing the bones was
left in a custom house store, and no one
knows what became of them. This
resurrection inspired Byron to such a
degree as to produce his well known
epigram.
The history of this monument Is as
follows: Paine owned a farm at New
Roch,l lie (the gift of the Government),
but passed his days in this city in a
rather miserable condition. After his
death his remains were conveyed to
the farm, where they lay ten years,
and were then removed by Cobbett-
There was a small circle of admirers Of
Paine in this city, AMI in 1899 they
erected this monument, placing it owe:
the empty grave. The deception thus
practiced mas led memorial hunters into
an error, since they imagine this to be
tie place cf ilterment. The Tom
Paine clique has given place to the
Ingerson admirers. but they Will even
tually prove equally as eyanescent. 1t
may be observed that only one person
ON record was ever named after Tom
Paine. This was y son of Robert Treat
Paine, signer of the Declaration of
Independence, born amid the excite
ment OF 1.-THE time that tried mems
souls" His father, out of admiration
of the author Of the ''Crisis" and ''Com
mon Sense" called the child Thomas,
thus making him Thomas PANE, Jr.
This did very well until the ''Age OF
Reason" appeared, which rendered its
author infamous. Thomas Paine, Jr., "
then became disguised with his title,
and at his request the Legislature of
Massachusetts, allowed him to take the
name of his father. Robert Treat
Paine, Jr., (as he now became) was the
author of the favorite song, "Adams
and Liberty" for which he received
$50. He married an actress Miss
Baker, and became an attache of the
theatre, being the first American of
social rank that identified himself with
the histiionic profession.

4 Unique FESTIVAL.

An altogether unique festival was
recently held at Preston, England. LII
was the celebration of the Preston
Guild, which takes place every twenty
yeaIs, The guild records only extend
as far back as the fourteenth century,
when Henry ii. granted them charter
including all the CELEBRITIES and free
customs" which had not long before
been granted to Observation-Disclosures,
including the freedom from passage
tolls which its freemen still enjoy. Ihe
first guild of which record was made
was held in 1928, but The chronicle
makes allusion to an antecedent cele-
bration; the next was Ill 1897, the next
in l4I5 and the fourth in l459. lhe
fifth of which any mention has been
preserved took place in 1900, and the
sixth IN 1912, since which time the
celebration has been held regularly.
Some of the records are decidedly
curious. Thus in 1902 sundry persons
had the freedom of the town granted
them free OF money payment Tor ringing
the day bell and curfew, for keeping
the church seats clean, and for "bakings
of breade and brewIr gs OF beare, wnlie
most stringent enactnents were taken
for ..the prevention of strangers gwen
birth to children in the town. III
1902 an order was issued against smok-
ing tobacco in the streets; In ioZ-
there was some talk OF letting the
venerable custom lapse. since no ne"
freemen could be created, and the iree
dom OF the old burgesses, which had to
be renewed at guild, was nearly value.
less: nevertheless, the pro-celebratior
party carried the day, as it did again II
iS43 and 1862. The festival has nov
no civic significance, but is kept up as
affording the people weeks amuse
ment, and it is likely in the fnture e
be celebrated with even greater spien
dor, as furnishing very convenien
landmark III the history OF very oi'
and a very fourishin9 municipality.

over2, 200, 900 tons of coffee, less tnan
100, ,OO0 tons of which were re-exported,
During the year ending June 30, 1871,

A Nevada girl had very perceptibl.. i.
noustache, and on the morning of her
wedding day she undertook to removeit
with caustic preparation. Her lip
was burned to such black and swollen
couditlon that she refused to show her
self to the guests. As the bridegroom
would not consent to a postponement,
the ceremony was performed privately,
and the company consoled themselves
with iinner. The BRIDE started on her
honeymoon journey closely yeiled, and
upkissed by her friends.

WHY THE cows CAME LArE.

Crimson sunset burning
Ger the tree-frnged hills:
Golden are the meadows,
Ruby flashed the rills.
Quiet in the farm house,
Home the farmer hies:
But his wife is watching,
Shading anxious eyes,
While she fingers with her pail beside the barn
yard gate,
Wondering why her Jennie and the cows comt
home SO late,
Jennie, brown-eyed maiden,
Wandered down the lane
That was ere the daylight
Had begun TO wane.
Deeper grow the shadows;
Circling swallows cheep;
Kstydids are calling:
Mists Ger meadows creep.
Still the mother shades her eyes beside the barn
yard gate,
And wonders where her Jennie and the cows car
he so late!
Loving sounds are falling
Homeward now at last,
Speckle Bess and Brlndle
Through the gate have passed..
Jennie, sweeily blushing,
Jamie, grave and shy,
Takes the pals from mother,
Who stands silent by.
Not one word is spoken as the mother shuts the
gate:
But now she knows why Jennie and the cows
came home so late,

The Alpena City Hospital.

The undersigned would announce
to the citizens Of Alpena and vicinity,
that they have opened ali Hospital
for the treatment of all Surgical and
other diseases.
This new enterprise meets a want
that has long been felt in this com
munity, where large number of un-
married men, sick or wounded, away
from home, will find all the comforts
of warm rooms, good, clean beds,
proper food, good nursing, careful
attention and skilful treatment of ex-
perienced Physicians and Surgeons.
The Hospital is managed on the
Cooperative plan, at present. Those
wishing to receive its benefits pay
from SO to So per year in advance
and if taken sick or injured any time
during the year, they will be taken
care of, boarded and treated without
any further charge.
The rates charged are so 'moder-
ate, compared with the benefits re-
ceived, that this Hospital must COM
mend itself to the public as soon as
it shall be thoroughly understood.
Arrangements are made that one
of the Doctors will he on duty night
and day, when required by one or
more patients.
DR.. Maiden's great experience as
Surgeon during our late war, the
last year of which he had charge of a
large Military Hospital, together
with over twenty years practice,
cannot be questioned in its success.
DR.. Newton, although younger,
has had large Hospital experience,
and has particularly devoted a good
portion of his time to the study of
diseases of the Eye and Ear.
We would respectfully solicit the
earnest support of this enterprise,
especially by those whom it is most
intended to benefit.

LOVE CROWNED.

A maiden, with garland on her head,
Sat I'm her bower between two lovers; one
Wore such wreath rs hers; the other none.
But him, i'm merry wise, she garlanded
With that she wore; then, gayly, took instead
The others wreath and wore IL as her own;
Whcreat both smiled, each deeming she had
shown
Himself the favorite. Though she nothing
said
Concerning this by any spoken word.
Yet by her act, mcthnks, the maid preferred
The lover she discrowned. A friendly thing
Or whimsical-no more-the gift she gave

But he whose crown she wore was her hearts
