For the first tlmo In the history of the
American navy writes a correspondent \ 01
the Philadelphia Itecord a father and his
Lion are both borne on Its list with the rank
ot rear lmlrnl , the highest now recognized 1
by law They are Thomas O. Selfrlllge , who
heads the list at retired rear admirals , and
Thomas Seltrldge , Jr. , who has Just been
promoted 10 the list at active rear admirals.
Both were born and appointed from Massa-
.
chusetts The father was appointed a mid-
r shpman on the 1st at January , 1818 , and Is
c now I\ ! \ years old , yet he Is halo and hearty ,
1 t i lakes all Interest In everything that Is going
Y on , especially In the navy ; keeps up with all
i the new ships and all the Improvements In
" armor and armament , and plays as good a
t game ot whist as he ever did.
Like so many other retired navy officer ,
ho lives at the capital clty-Washlnglon has
been called the Hear Admirals' He't-be-
' cause ho can see more ot his old friends < and
I cumllanlons In arms and keep In closer
, touch with the navy hero than elsewhere.
i Naturally , ho takes a peculiar Interest In all
; that concerns his two sons In the navy-his
f namesake , the new rear admiral and Lieutenant -
f tenant Commander J. H. Sclfrltlg , who Is
f now In charge ot the branch hydrographic
I ulllco at 1'hlladelphlll , both of them being a
cause of pride tu him.
THO'OUNm l AmlIHAVS CAJtr 11t.
Hear Admiral Selfridge Jr. , who sailed ! the
other day 10 lake command ot the hluropean
! squadron was the first ofllcer of the navy to
receive diploma . ot graduation under the
present \ organization of the Naval ncaderi . i
graduating In June , 18&3 , lit the head of the
. first class graduated from Annapolis Ever
I since then he has "stood at the head ot his
1 class , " always being foremost In every com-
f , petition \ , and especially during the civil w'ar
when he volunteered for more service at II
dangerous character than perhaps any other
m ofllcer.
, It Is a striking ' fact , throwing light on the
i war promotom ! : In the navy that , although
I Self rid go was admitted by the secretary of
the navy lsimsalf 10 have such a splendid war :
record , ho gal no III'omollon for his war sen'-
_ - lea It Is true that he was three times recolII-
I mended for promotion by Admiral Porter , and
that he was one of halt a dozen olllcers
selected for a promotion ot thirty numbers :
by a board of five Illlmlrals , of which Farragllt
was chairman , which Secretary Welles imp-
i polnlel\ at the close : of the war 10 pick out
the most meritorious omcers for promotion ;
hut nothing eamo ot II , and Admiral SelfrhJ : ; !
, had to climb slowly up 10 his present rank
by the regular rounds of the oll1clal ladder , a
step at a thin : ,
t I found out just how modest be was when
I Irll't10 \ get hint to tell the other day the
stor ) ' of his experiences during the war.
Most pleasantly most 8mlllllI : . 11l' answered
my questions , hut told lIIe a9 little as possible -
ble In doing so lie waR for dismissing
oath Incident In a few words , as though It
were ot no great IInporlancc-somelhlng that
Just happened In the line of his duty and
need ! not be enlarged ! upon , I'J that It was
really dllllclllt to get at \\hat I wantc ( ! .
1 Tile FIGHT WITH TILE 'llmH/'I.\C. /
j I knw his record as It la act forth In the
urinal sad semi - ofilclal book on "lhe 11\ lug : ;
officers of the navy ' . " and I wanted him to
put flesh on time ! skeleton and slllrit within
It , Coming down to war tints the record
says : "Commluloned ! lIl'utenanlt.l'elmt.lT , ) ' ,
8GO ; ordered to the frigate : ; I.'umbarland t ,

bombardment amid capture of the Hatteras
forts In September , I volunteered ; for the
command of a cnttlng-out expedition < of
boats from the Cumberland at Newport :
News February . 1862 ; was second lieutenant ,
of the Cumberland end In eomma'nll ot the i
gmn deck batter llarch S. 1862 , In the tight
between time 'Ierrlmac and the Cumberland ,
In which the Cumherland went down with
her hag nylng"-Jusl there I began my cross-
examination ut the Emlllng , but reluctant
admiral.
K1'DW : SHE WAS COm1'G :
"Old you know the 'Ierrlrnac was coming
and what h I rhi I of a craft she was ? "
"Oh , yes ; wo had been hearing about her
right along all the little that they were
altering her and putting ! the ram and armor
on , and we had been expecting her out from I
Norfolk , and we could see her coining for
some lime. We thought she was not golllj I
to attack us . but was going after the ships I
further out , but she came for us and of
coarse we did our best to fight her" It l the
Cumberland had been a steamer 1 believe
wo could have held our own with her , wood
against : ; Iron , for we had ten guns on a ,
shim 10 her four , and we could have laid < l
alongside of her , silenced her guns and taken
her. Even with the calls wo might have
accomplished something It there had been
any wind , Hut there was hardly a breeze
that day , amid she had all the advantage ot
being able to light liS as site pleased , while
we were hardly able to move As It was ,
however , her ram which was the death of
the Cumberland , came near being the death I' '
at the \Ierrlmac : 115 well , for It stuck In
the Cumherland , and It anybody at the bow '
ot the Cumberland , where our two great
heavy anchors were bitted , had hall the
presence of mind to throw them over on
the llerrimae : , she might have gone down
with us. But she struggled for two or
three minutes 10 be free , until she hrokl' off
her rain anll left It lu Cumberland , and
back away , while wo went down.
WAITED OHDERS TO QUIT
"Where were you when the Cumberland
went down ? " "Oh , I was on the gun deck ,
where l'd been all through : ; the fight , directing
the lire of the hattery. "
"What effect did your guns have on the
MerrimnacVell , It ! so happened that ' my
battery had most of the work to do , and I
believe the shots did tell on thc 'Ierrlmac ,
nol only on the smokestacks aimil ' whatever
else was outside the armor , but on the armor
i Iiselt. It was very much shaken by our
fire , and In places a distinct Impression was
made on It. "
"And you kept I on firing while the Cumbor-
land was sinking ? " "Of course , we kept
right on until the order was given and passed
along 10 us that everybody take care of hlr.1-
self , which ends all discipline on board ship
unit leaves nothing 10 do but get out of It
aa best you ran "
"What did you do ? "
Clt.WI.I OUT TllHOUGl1 A POHTIIOI.I .
"Oh , I went to the hatchways and found
Ihem so crowded with men that I saw that
there was little chance of mygetting on time
upper ) deck , and that limo only thing for mete
to do was 10 get out through one of the
portholes , so I took off my swonl and bell
and may coat and hal , and cierylhiug else
except my shirt and trousers , and crawled
out through a porthole just as the ship went
under \ the water. Of course 1 went down .

Ihlnk you are equal 10 II ? ' Well \ , I have
made It a rule never to decline any duty ,
and SO I said 10 him , 'I will try to do my
best , sir , ' and he said 'very well \ , ' and
plesently handed me my order ! ! , and I tool
them and went on board the 'Ilonltor :

"When I got there I asked for Mr. Greene ,
the executive otlleer , and they told me that
ho was down at dinner In ! the wnrLlroolll
with the other officers , so 1 went right ! ' ; duwn.
I must have been a qneer-ooklng ] figure and
as I walked In one oC them said : 'Who arc
you ? ' and I said , 'Is : Mr Greene here ? ' and
ho said 'yeti , ' and I said , 'Well , I have been
al''olnted ! to command the Monitor , and here
are my orders ; ' and then I went to the cap-
lain's cabin. I was only In command ot
the \Ioultor : a very short time , though , for
Jerrers , a much older officer , had been sent
for before 'Ir. Fox sent for n'o , and when
he arrived Mr. Fox sent for me and explained
palned ] the situation I 10 IIII' , and I , of course ,
saw that It was all right : ; and quietly accepted
el'pled my next orders 115 flag lieutenant \
ot the North Atlantic fleet "
Then the record went on to say that Lieu-
tenant S'lfrltlge "was present at the recap-
turo ot Norfolk : , and engaged In destroying
rebel defenses In time waters of Virginia until
June , 18G2 , when ! he was detached and vollln-
leer'd for command or the submarine torpedo
I heat Alligator \ : ; , destined for service against : ;
the \ \Ierrlmac : No. : 2. "
I THE WONDERFUL : "Al.r.IGATOn. "
The admiral laughed when I asked him
about the Alligalor.
"Well ; hp said , "the Alligator was II cnrl-
ous craft , designed by a renchml1n al l'hla- !
delphla and accepted by the government after
one trial on the Delaware under his dlrre-
tlon. She was then brolllht : ; around to Washington -
Ingtou , but when the I.'renehman heard that
she was going to ho med to try to destroy
time Ierrlmac No.2. which was then salll 10
be building at Richmond , hilt which never ,
came : 10 anytuing he disappeared taking : ;
with him the secret of how to keep I the air
fresh In the boat when she was under water ,
bO that she was practically uSl'leBB Then ,
too , she was so blow that nothing could be
done with her. She was to be propelled with
paddles arranged like the leaves of a bo 'k '
to be worked with machlrler by fourteen I
nllln , but II was Impossible to make more
than two knots l an hour with her at the best.
"I made one trip In her down the Potomac )
with a crow of volunteers , and we almosl
went to the bottom because when the fresh
air swan exhausted the men all made a rush
lit once for the manhole 10 get air , and tipped !
the boat up so that she almost sunk I or-
dered tllem l'harpl back 10 their places telling - '
Ing them that their lives depended upon their I
obelllrnce , and they were experienced and I
disciplined men and did as I told them , andre
ro saved their lives and mine.
SIT ASTlUDl OI 111m TILL HESCUED.
"Th n. one by one , We all cautiously
crawled out through the manhole and nt
astride at the Alligator , which was like a I
long : ; cigar , and floated until ! we were taken :
off by II schooner and brought back to Wash- ;
Inl'ton. ' : Mr. Fox had told me that he wanted ,
mo to blow up limo 'Ierrlmac No. 2 within the
Alligator , but after that experience I went
and told him the story , and added that ho
could never blow up auylhln\ ! with that boat.
Attempll were made to Improve her but
about that time we heard that time 'Icrrlmae
No 2 was mint coming out , and so we IIbJn-
dammed the Alligator. "

Its "ma , " and with no "ma" In sIght. They
are a part of the exhibit of an Incubator
made lit Marietta , Ga. The chickens run
all around the space of the exhibit , but du
not wander away , for they seem possessed of
real affection for the rather rude looking
machine which brought them into thIs world.
The two machlnc that attract the greatest
crowds In the machinery hall are limo pin
machine and time linotype machine. The only
thing about either that Is ! outl'rn ! Is the
