An old farmer, who was sitting on a

the village, talking about the total
failure of the crops and the price of
corn, suddenly paused as he saw a

stepped up to him. AS the young man

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 bllets 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 get
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 officers of like rank.

don, one of Tillman's dispensary con-
stables, who killed the first man, a
negro, for violating the dispensary law,
in Spartenburgh county last April has

lieved his sentence will be commuted by

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March AT 8:h
yesterday afternoon the jury in the cases
against James J. Corbett, charged with
violating the laws of Florida by engaging
In prize fight, retired to make up YER
dict. Sixteen minutes later the jury re-
turned and the foreman handed the YER
dict to the states attorney, who readi
"We, the jury, find the defendant not
guilty"
A broad smile spread over Corbett's face
as he heard these reassuring words, and
the sports who crowded the court room
would have cheered had they not been in
formed by Judge Phillips when the jury
came in that he would send any person to
Jail for contempt who dared to express au-
dible approval or disapproval OF the YER
dict.
Charlie Mitchell was present when the
verdict was announced, and he leaned
over and grasped Corbett by the hand and
whispered congratulations. Mitchell, of
course, considered the verdict in the light
OF practical acquittal for himself.
There were four women in the court
room at the time, two of them members of
the After Dark" company, and they
braved the wrath of Judge Phillips to the
extent of airily waving their hands to
Corbett.
The impression here is that the whole
thing has been farce. The witnesses for
the state, to use a sporting phrase, fell
down" and the defense hnd the easiest
sort of walk over.
Corbett left for New Orleans last night
with the After Dark company. The
cases against Mitchell aud others were
nolle pressed this morning.

referred to the observance Of Memorial
Day, the Gettysburg encampment and the
national encampment at indianapolis.
Referring to the pension question the
commander said: "a pensioner having
proven his right TO be on the roll once it
should require something more than an
anonymous communication to take him
from the roll. Neither should he be hui
inflated by being compelled TO submit to
an investigation or examination by men
who served in the rebel army. am of the
opinion that all this hue and cry against
the pensioners has been caused by class
of men who have no sympathy for the ex-
Union soldier"

that there arc 62l posts in the state, with
