The warrant officers Of the navy are
the boatswains, gunners, carpenters,
sailmakers and mates, about one hun
dred and seventy-hve in all. The boat
swains are stationed mostly on the re-
ceiving ships and training ships and at
various shore stations; the gunners do
some service Of the same sort, and are
sometimes assigned as inspectors Of
ordnance; the carpenters are found at
the navy yards, public and private, on
the training ships, and at sea; the sail
makers are nearly all ashore, and the
mates are mostly ON receiving ships or
on special duty on the smallest vessels.
There have been no appointments to
this corps for many years. The war
rant officers have a mess of their own,
and it used to be shared by the cadet
midshipmen.

rorrcric. rh.. Never Com. to LIGHT.

II believe, said q country banker,
that ut least five per cent. of all notes
that go through our banks arc forger-
les. There is u curiously loose notion
as to the crime of forgery, and again
and again have had men propose to
sign to note the name of neighbor
who was at an inconvcnient distance.
In such cases it was we'll known that
the man whose name was to be forged
was willing to go upon the note, but
have no doubt that wealthy mems
names arc constantly used upon notes
that they never saw. The notes nre
taken up by the paycc and nothing is
heard of the forgery. For every such
forgery detected there are many that
never come to light"
