ADMIRAL FARRAGUT.-Under the
laws of the United States we have had
but one Admiral, and that rank was
created for the noble old hero of our
Navy. David q. Farraput. Farragut
was brought up in the Navy, having
entered it when a mere boy, III 1910.
lie saw service at once, having been
engaged in several naval battles dur
ing the war with England. which al
most immediately followed. He
worked his way up slowly through
the different grades of the line. serv
ing most OF the time on foreign sta
lions, where he acquired great many
languages, being eventually master
OF nearly every European tongue. in
Guiding many OF the Unlicensed dia-
lects OF Eastern Europe. In 1896, Far
ragut was stationed at San Francisco,
and subsequently was engaged in sea
service in the Pacific Squadron. In
March, 1868. he ran the blockade at
Port Hudson, and joined Grant i'll the
investment of Nicksburg. In August
of the following year, he COM
menced the naval campaign in Mobile
Eav, which. after the capitulatlOn or
destruction of the rebel forts Morgan,
Powell and Gaines, and the ram Ten
nessee, ultimately resulted in the
evacuation of the city of Mobile, and
largely determined the character and
the conclusion of the last campaign of
the war. He was made Admiral in
1866, having successfully passed
through the grades Of Rear Admiral
and Vice Admiral. Farragut was born
in Tennessee, was appointed trom.that
State, and at the time of his death was
about seventy years of age. He was
less than medium height, slight in
bulk, but wirv and strong in power of
endurance. In manner he was mild
and gentle, though firm and resolute
in Will and decisive in action. He
leaves no children 10 inherit his name
and fame; but his renown is part of
his country's glory, and his name will
be held in remembrance by every
nation which honors bravery, skill
and daring.
