The New So and SIS Notes.

The government commenced issuing the
new So and SIS silver certificates at Wash
ington last Monday. The first of TIN
series the 81 we have already described.
The two-dollar note was designed by Mr.
Edward H. Blashfield, of New York. The
frontlspiece is an allegOrical representation
OF ''Science presenting steam and electrici
! tv to commerce and manufacture" and
consists of five partly nude female figures il
graceful poses. The treatment is describ
ed as almost distinctively American. The
general idea of the main design is carried
! out on the back of the note, the main dec.
grafton of which are vignettes of Fulton
and Morse, the opponents Of steam and
electricity, respectively.
Mr.. Walter Shirlaw, of New York, de-
signed the S. note. The face is almost
entirely taken up with an allegorical
picture representing America enlighten
ing the world.' America is represented by
a beautiful female, partly nude, holding il
her right hand, uplifted, a lighted incandes
cent lamp. She stands upon representa-
ton of the North American continent, and
the rays from her lamp are shed in all di
rections. Reclining at her feet in female
figure of Fame, with the traditional trum
pet. Thanking these figures, which occup,
the centre Of the front, Is on one side a rep
resentation of Jupiter in bis aerial chariot
in the act of hurting thunderbolt, typify
ing force. On the other side is represen-
tation of peace. There is also fine view
of the Capitol.
The back of the note contains portraits Of
Grant and Sheridan. Unlike the vlgnettes
on the 81 and So notes. which are arranged
in the middle, the vignettes on the SIS notes
are at opposite ends.
