No officer remains who saw service In 1812 , but the nearest to those memorable days of Stew-art , Hull , Do- t-atur , McDonough , Perry , Balnbrldge , Red- gers and these other worthies whoso deeds made a glorious page In our history Is the venerable officer now residing with anchors down and sails snugly furled In a safe and quiet haven , amid his books and pictures and pipes at Washington. His recollections of stirring da > a are blithe vvltli the splilt of a joung lieutenant , his patriotism burns as fiercely as of old , mid In the present ho finds amid all the changes the same auspicious reverence for service traditions which hod contented a lad of 1C eighty years ago. Rear Admiral T 0. Selfrldgo , retired , was born In Massachusetts and was appointed from that state January 1 , 1818 Nine jears later hu received a commission as lieutenant. Ho was attached to the sloop Natchez , of the West India squadron. In 1830 ; the frigate Delaware , of the Mediterranean squadron , In 1834 , and the frigate Carolina , In U37. Ho was promoted to the eradu of commander In 1844. and was ab&lgneil to the command of the frigate Columbus , of the Cast India squadron. Ho was subsequently transferred to the command of the sloop Dale , which 1s now doing duty as a naval reserve ship for the Maryland naval inllltln , and upon his return from sea duty was deputed to the command of the naval rendezvous at Doaton. Hit * appointment as captain was made In 18S6 Ho commanded the steamer Missis sippi In 1801 , but was rcJIe\od the following year and placed fa command of the Mare Island navy yard. While holding this poet lie was promoted to the grade of commodore , and was placed on the rutliod list In 1866 , In accordance with the law providing for the Rorvlcc , Ho was promotes ! to his present grade after his retirement. The career of Rear Admiral T. 0. Selfrldge. tlio eMeet son of Rear Admiral Selfrldge , sr. . had been filled with Interesting Incidents Ho entered the naval academy as a cadet midshipman on October 3 , 1S51 , and was graduated In 1S31 at the head of tlo flrH rla s sent out of school under the now n > stcm. Ho was made a passed assistant midshipman * n November 1S5C. and commissioned as lieu tenant In 1SGO. He served In the Cumber land , and was present nt the destruction of the Norfolk navy jord and at the bombard ment and capture of the Hatteran forts. He was second lieutenant of the Cumberland when she was sunk In action by the confederate ate- Ironclad Mcrrlmac. and was saved from the sinking ship , with which lu > nearly went down , undc-r very extraordinary circum stances. Later ho was detailed to command the Monitor after the wounding of Captain Worden He was commissioned as n lieu tenant commander In July. 1S62 , and assigned to the Mississippi eqimdron , with which IIP performed gallant seilvcc. Ho commanded the Ironclad Cairo , which was blown up by n torpado in the Yaroo river , back of the donfci'ses of VIcksburg , had charge of a siege lottery In the capture of VIcksburg , and commanded Uio Ironclad Osage In tbo Itcd river expedition. He was ordered east and commanded the Huron In Ihu two bombard ments of Kort Klsher. and the third division of the laud assaulting column of sailors upon that fort. After the close of the war he was given the command of the Nlpslc , and upon being commissioned as a commander In 18C9 was ordered to toke charge of survojs of the Isthmus of Darlcn for an Interotcaiilc ship canal. He was appointed a captain In ISS1 and a commodore In 1S34 Lieutenant Commander James R. Selfrlflgp , another son of the senior admiral , entered the t-ervlco from California In 1S6 . Ho was graduated from the naval academy In 1SG9 ami promoted to the grade of llcutonint In 1873. Ho wan appointed n lieutenant com mander In ISO I. and Is nt present on duty as executive olllccr of the monitor Puritan. A curious ami honorable family history this , and It Is to bo hoped that the president will give the present applicant the appoint ment sought. The president Is allowed only to IWMJ ten nominations nt the naval acad emy nt the same time , and these appoint ments , "at largo , " as they arc called , nro sought eagerly. An a rule , great political pressure Is brought to boar , hut this docs not avail alvvnjs It was the practice of Mr Cleveland to give the sons of officers thp preference In making appointments to West Point and Annapolis. Mr JlcKlnley has In dicated that lui leans toward a continuance or this pollc > , and members of the Solfildge family are consequent hopeful that the can didacy of young "Tom" will succeed. uimiins nij\i'icviii. : ! : riicin IVrri- .Snri-iil.-s , lnn ( , . , Mix-iirc , IllKoii nmliiKncr. .
