The Man who Went to B.d.

A little story was related at the navy
yard the ether day which concerns Rear
Admiral Thomas o. Selfridge, retired,
who is visiting his son, Captain Thomas
D. Selfridge, the commandant of the
navy yard. Some years ago the admiral,
who is the oldest living United States
naval officer, being over 90 years of age,
was dining at Delmonicos, in New York,
with a distinguished company, among
whom were Generals Grant, Sherman,
and Sheridan. At 10 o'clock, when the
festivities We're at their height, the old ad-
miral arose from the table and called for
his hat and coat. All were surprised at
his action and asked for an explanation,
He replied that he never permitted en-
ioyment to interfere with his health, and
that 10 o'clock was a good hour for him
to retire.
All present laughed heartily, chaffed
him little, and begged him to remain.
He could not, however, be coaxed to
remain. After bidding them good
night" he added, Early to bed and sound
sleep tend to longevity and I'm going to
prove it to you all. +" All, except the adj
miral, who were present at the banquet
that evening have passed away. The
admiral has kept his word. - Boston
