Naval Paymasters.
There are now only six assistant
paymasters in the navy, and none was
appointed earlier than 1892. This is
the lowest grade in the pay corps, and
it carries the relative rank of ensign.
The assistant paymaster remains in
that grade from seven to eleven years,
and during the first three or four years
may expect billets only on small ships
and unimportant shore duty. There
was a pretense fifteen or twenty years
ago to appoint to the pay corps after
competitive examination, but it was
abandoned,' and now appointments are
obtained by influence of one sort or an
other. Line officers who cannot g-et
their sons into the Naval academy are
sometimes content to sacrifice their
professional prejudice against the staff
and seek for the young men places in
the pay corps. The average age of
men in the lowest rank of the corps is
perhaps somewhat greater than that of
line oflicers of like rank.
Did All fie Wanted It To.
An old farmer, who was sitting1 on a
dry-goods box beforo the post office in
the village, talking about the total
failure of the crop3 and the price of
corn, suddenly paused as he saw a
slick-looking- city chap pass, and
stepped up to him. As the young man
paused, the gentleman from the coun
try inquired:
"Say, young chap, ain't you the fel
ler what sold me the pump last sum
mer?" "Perhaps I did, my friend; I sold a
number in this neighborhood."
"Wall, give me my money back, you
durned swindler!" .
"Why so? Didn't the pump do what
I wanted it to?"
"Not by a mighty big sight; it
wouldn't raise any water at all."
"Water! Pshaw! All I sold you that
pump for was to raise the wind," and
Mr. Slick hurried around the corner.
