A BACHELOR A'- 00. He Lives Alone and Knits His Own Socks. Front the Huston Globe. Enfield, N. H., Dec. 23.—Now Hamp shire raises a lugger crop oi old pcoplo to the square mile than any other State in the Union. Scattered all over its hillsides aro hundreds of men and women from 80 to 100 years of age. Many of them are as hale and hearty and rugged as their neighbors of middle age. Ope of the mast remarkable old men in New Hampshire is Thomas Murphy, aged 89, living on what is known as George hill in this town. To-day 1 drove out eight miles from the railway station to uis l ouse, and had an hour’s chat with him. He '.ices all alone in one of the best farmhouses in town. There is a large barn, and the other outbuilding* are of the most substantial character. When I reached his place he was in the barn harnessing his horse, which, by the wav, is 11 years old. The man himself was a great surprise, standing about 5 feet 10 inches, he is as straight as an arrow. Ho has a full head of dark brown hair, with hardly a tinge of white. His Galway whiskers are of the same color, and were neatly brushed. His eye is of light blue and as bright as a but ton, his skm soft and clear. He has a full set of natural teeth, remarkably even and ■white. His voice is full and does not trem ble in the slightest degree. He never wore glasses in his life, and can to-day readnews- E alter print readily. Ho writes a full, round and. ’ j “Step into the house,” spid the old man; “it is warmer there.” In going from the barn to the house it is necessary to pass up a flight of a dozen steps. These this morning were covered with a thin coating of ice. The old man went up these stairs without touching the side rail, and he reached the top several steps in advance of me. He turned around and smiled, and said that he probably aver aged going over the stairs twenty times a “You know,” said he, “that I live all soul alone here. There is not even a cat in the house to keep me company. I do mv own cooking, washing aud mendiug, and knit my own socks.” There was a cheerful fire burning in the kitchen stove, and 1 took a look around the room. A cleaner kitchen could not be found in New England. The stove had evi dently just been blacked, and it shone like a junk bottle. The floor was white, and the walls and windows as clean as soap aud ■water could make them. The table had the appearance of being set for the noonday meaL The dishes were clean, and in the centre of the table was a loaf of brea 1. Mr. Murphy noticed me looking at it, and he got up and brought it to me. “Yes, I made it. Taste it. •’ I did so. It was as white and light as the driven snow. I praised it and he looked pleased. All the other rooms of the house looked as tidy as the kitchen. “I have 40 acres of laud, and I cany on the farm all alone, except during haying time, l hire a boy to help me three or four •lays. The past season I raised 45 bushels of potatoes. 18 tons of hay, 15 bushels of beaus, besides wheat and oats. This fall 1 have vat and hauled to the barn 20 cords of stove wood. I have done it all alone, too, except the work I hired in haying I churn ail iny own butter, and have some to sell. Sick; I don’t know what it means. I never took a ilron of medicine in my life nor paid a doctor's bill, I sleep as soundly as I ever did. lam at peace with the whole world, and don't know why I am not enjoying life as well as anybody. No, lam never lone some. My horse there is a pretty good friend.

I was bound out to old Clark, the cooper, at the North End, with ■whom I remained until I was 21. I then -worked at the trade In Boston and in Charlestown until 1818, when I came up to New Hampshire, and I have lived in this State ever since, i worked for a time on the State House at Concord while it was be ing built in 1818-17 and then I worked for the Canterbury Shakers many years. I remember very well the ‘cold Friday.’ I ■worked all that day cutting wood tor the Bhakers. There were two persons frozen to death in the town, but I didn't call it any colder than many other days. After leaving the Shakers I worked farming in Gilmanton, Loudon, Plainfield, aud otuer t was of the State, and led a quiet farmer’s life. 1 came to Enfleld thirty years ago, aud have iiaid taxes here ever since, although I have been away a portion of the time. About ten years ago I thought it about time to have a home of my own, -o I bought his place. It has been owned and occupied summers by Mr. Hullo way. lather of Hon. A. W. Suit iway, President of the Northern railroad. I was never niarrie,. “I have always been temperate in my habits, have used a little tobacco aud less rum. For more than seventy five years I have spent the rac*t of my timeout in the open air, und for many years when I was cnoppi g wood in the winters I slept in shanties away from the farmhouses, carry ing in my provisions and doing my own cooking. ' There is nothing so good for a man as plenty of hard work and plenty of Iresh air. I am 99 years old. hut i don’t know oi any reason why 1 shouldn’t live to be 199. I certainly never felt better in my Life. 1 have no stiff joints and my muscles seem t > be as hard and firm as ever. My appetite is always good, hut I am very careful not to eat too i&ucb. My food is ot the n.ninest kind. In summer, principally fruit and milk, with occasionally a little fresh meat. I try never to be idle lam busy about something nearly all the time while awake. 1 read a gpod deal and have been greatly interested in the stories of ihe old people" printed in the Globe. The Globe is my lavonte paper. I go to lod in summer about 8 o’clock and get up about 5. 11l the winter Igo about 7 or 7:30 and get up about 6. I own this farm and have got a little money at inter est. I should have no fear of the poor house if I hadn't a cent, for I can go out at day’s work and earn my living any time. No. I don't call mysolf a very <ld mau. Why should I?” Driving back to the station 1 stopped at Mr. Murphy’s nearest neighbor’s. The man I mot here said that be had known the old man for more than thirty year.. “He is certainly a very remarkable man. 1 met a few years ago a man who knew Mi-. Murphy way back at the time he worked for tne Canterbury Shakers. There is not the slightest question about his age. Ho is one of the best of neighbors. The amount of work be can do in a day is wonderful. Why, I would about a* soon have him ia ipy field as any man I can Hire. Last sum mer some sheep got into his field and were doing some damage to his crops. Mr. Mur phy cua ed them clear across the 4-acre lot,, and I tell you it would have t. ikon a pretty spry boy to have kept up w.th him. He is a very intelligent man, oeiug well informed on almost every subject. He is a great reader, and bis mind is as clear as that of any man in town.” Such is Thomas Murphy, now ninety and nine.

Jeffersonville, Ind., is Famous for the Many .ove Knots Tied There. From the Philadelphia .Votes. Jeffersonville is Hie Gretna Green of the West, and there are probably more eloping couples made happy at this place that at any other on the American c nitinent or in the world. The celebrated Justice, Ephraim Keigwin, alone has celebrated no less than 1,800 marriages in the last ten years, cer tainly a not despicable record The num ber is doubled by two other justices who re side here—Lee and Ware—the three ’Squires together having coupled not less than 3,900 souls in marriage during the past decade. The ministers of the ntv also are frequently called upon, about three couples per week asking them for assistance in get ting rid of single blessedness, another 1,500 being thus added to the sum total of eloping marriages, making at least 5,400 weddings during the ten years past, or at an average of 540 weddings per year. Non-, as a mar riage license in Indiana costa $1 25, and the 'Squire’s or minister’s fee is seldom less than f3, and often three times as much or more, it will be seen that there is much money in marrying—for Jeffersonville. The majority' of the victims of Hvmeu come from Kentucky, but Ohio. Indiana and sometimes Tennessee or Illinois add to the contingent. They are not always bona-fide elopists, so to speak, from reasons of econ omy, secrecy or prudence. Probably one half belong to this class. It staudf to rea son that it is cheaper to get up an alleged runaway match, pay the railroad fare, $1 25 for license, $2 for the ceremony, which, by the way, is carefully graded according t.o purse, and go home quietly, than to give an elaborate wedding feast witli all it* c n comitants. which may run up into the hun dreds of dollars. Thus it will be seen that candidates for wedlock can do no better financially than run away to Jeffersonville aud get married, if marry they must. That such a strange industry as this can not exist without some odd phases go s without laying. So, for example, it has created the matrimonial runner, a shrewd, discerning young man, generally, who knows the candidates dv sight, just as a report >r knows a good bit of news The M. R. is oppossed to violent exertion, and conse quontly prefei-s to spend his tima at the landing < f the ferry which connects tiie blissful shore of Jeffersonville with Louis ville. When he sees a shyly happy couple come up the river bank, or spies a hired ba k with two passengers, he generally succeeds in insinuating himself and tenders his ser vice* He procures a license, swears to the age 9i the parties, or gets some idler to do it, aud lands the couple in the ’Squire's office, who divides the fees with him. It may not be a very remunerative nor useful occupa tion, but it has the element of picturesque ness and unconveiltionality. There must have beeu atone time and an other a respectable amount of hypothetical sweari g done, in order to assure the Coun ty Clerk as to the age of applicants for license, and sometimes an infuriated par ent arrives here just too late to stop the ceremony, breathes destruction ami law, then simmers down, accepts tko inevitable, and fails to prosecute the bold, bad man who presumed to know the age of a daugh ter better than her parental progenitor. It is not easy to stop an eloping marriage. People here are general.y ill sympathy with the smitten hearts, and police con fess to somewhat of a tenderness. Nor ean elopists be arrested and held just because they have eloped. It is no crime. A prom inent Kentuckian, whose daughter had Leu spirit, and away .by an enterprising lover, found that out a few days ago. He tele graphed from Bardstown to arrest the cou ple, the County Clerk was warned, and everything cocked and primed to blow up the anticipated marriage, but lo! the young toup.e would not be held, aud they quietly slipped to New Albany and were married. ’ There is plenty of romance in the busi ness, and a novelist could probably not do better than visit Jeffersonville and study the escapades of these lovers. They corne at all hours of day and night, in all sorts of conveyances or on foot, and have all sorts of adventures. Sometimes the surly Kentucky maiden goes to singing school or to cnurch, delud ing the viguant father into security, whilo her swain has horses or buggy ready to drive to the nearest railway station or straight through to the marital Mecca. Again, as in tue case of Nimrod Conn, o. Boston, Ky., a few days ago, the bride es capes at midnight, with ail the accompani ments of ladders, lantern aud danger. In some cases the fugit.ves are hotly pursued, but rarely overtaken before the knot is tied, when the objecting parents invariably cool down and accept the situation, and the groom, atier more vigorous but unavailing kicking, for no matter how easily the Indi ana nuptial kubt is tied, it don't untie quite so easily. One of the most exciting experiences, probably, was that ot a M.t lis©;i couple, telegraphed the News at the time, ihe elopers were accompan.ed by the groan’s stepfather aud the bride’s aunt. They escaped to Kentucky ill a skiff, but, arriving on iaud, tae bride was taken ill aid the waole petty com pelled to seek shelter and syiujiftny at a farm bouse, being delayed these several days. When ac last they reached Jefferson ville the stepfather aud aunt persuaded the groom and bride to obtain a Uoelfte, which was dmy transferred to the prop sr parties and the wedding celebrated b r Justice Keigwin. This is only one of nia uv tricks resorted to to obtain the necessary legal pa pers, and goes to snow the iugenui kof in ventions where love is concern cl Love laughs at law or any other locksmitt YV by, I have known youth and maiden l<* walk 50 miles to lie married here, nor had they a penny tor expenses or lees, and a lectern had to be taken among the county I officials to raise the money to send them homt; on the “keers.” I PRESIDENTIAL RERQUXoIIES.

Those who are fortunate enough to have the chance to meet Mi's. Cleveland at home are received by her in the Rod Parlor, the most home-like of apartments on the semi public lower floor of the White House. She meets her guests with a charming welcome, unconstrained, yet dignified. She talks freely- and frankly about most subjects but politics. Touch politics, and she laughingly diveits the conversation to books, or people, or perhaps to the drama, for she confesses to a liking for the theatre so strong that she is sure she must curb it. She has also a great fondness for the opera. If she knows how to be sar castic she does not show it. She is not critical. With much of the tact of Dorothy Madison, she evidently- prefers t make friends rather than enemies for her husband and herself. So she seeks to win, not to provoke. While she addresses y-ou, you are the person in whom she is most interested, Mrs. Cleveland likes the White House. She has never joined in the chorus of de traction of the building that it was once regarded as proper to ; nise whenever it was mentioned. She is interested in its history, in the fact that Martha Washington, who never lived in it. saw its foundations rising while her husband was yet President. When she refere to the somewhat limited privacy that she einovs, Mrs. Cleveland re calls Mrs. Ahigail Adams’ written amaze ment, on her arrival at the house, when it was to l>o occupied for the first time, to find upon what “a grand and superb scale” it was constructed, her reflection that it would require “about thirty servants to keep the apartments in proper order,” and her fear to light -‘the great castle” wouid aione be “a great tax.” but Mr . Cleveland does not have much of “the great castle” to herself, nor are t hirty servants required to i eep it in order. She lias a boudoir and four or five other rooms ou the second floor for her own use and for the bestowal of guests. Her boudoir opens upon a central corridor, comfortably furnished for and used as a family sitting room. There are some good paintings of American scenery by- American artist-, on the walls, a porta-ait of the President, some bric-a-brac, a pervading air of hoine-hka ness, and, occasionally in the evening, a lit tle good tobacco smoke from the President’s after-dinner cigar. All the bed chambers open upon this corridor sitting room. The afternoon sun enters it through a semicir cular window, fil ed with stained glass and screened with growing plants. In summer the fragrance from the conservatory just below ascends through this window to fill the house. An early riser, like the President, his wife is also, like her husband, busy during the day. She does not assume management of the house, beyond such occasional - super vis ion as may- be Accessary to maintain order aud regularity The morning brings to her a volume, of letters that lias been constantly growing. A thoughtless writer it. an other wise friendly paragraph wrote a while ago that Mrs. Cleveland personally responded to all letters received by her. An avalanche followed. She had been re ceiving more letters than she could answer. Now there were more than she could take time to open. Most of them con tained requests for scraps of her wedding dress. Distressed women, anxious to save a homestead, wrote for loans of $5,000 to SIO,OOO, to “save the old place.” One woman wrote to ask for a specified number of yards of velvet, that was to be mazarine blue in color, and in addition she wished to have enough material for a wrap. Of ap pbcatious for autographs and photographs there is no end. To attempt to answer all these letters would be out of the question. To read them all is unnecessary. If Mrs. Cleveland undertook to respond favorably to all who w: ite to her, she would keep a stenographer and a photographer constantly at work; she wouid gradually rob herself of her ward robe, and she would bankrupt the President. So a large part of the correspondence is turned over to one of the executive clerks, to be answered with a printed form, signed by Col. Lamont. Mrs. Cleveland personally responding only to letters from her per sonal friends. The afternoon is short at the White House, and the time is well occupied. If Mrs. Cleveland has opportunity she reads. Kind friends, authors who wish to have her see their books, and publishers send her new volumes. She get* from three to dve a day In her ambition to know something about each of them she finds that she is beeo ling spoiled as a reader. She reads some light literature She also fl ids time to read some thing in the newspapers, to scan a magazine or two, and to enjoy the Epoch. Out of the season of formal recepti ;ns and dinners at the YVhite House, the after dinner hours are usuilly quiet and restful to Mrs. Cleveland. Toere is eldom a day that the Presid -at do s not have a guest or two to dine with Lint. The wives of Cab inet officers f.eqne tly call later, with or witnout their Husbands, for they are like members ot the YV into House family. An occasional theatre party, in which thb President joins, varies this programme. TORTURE. A Victim of Inflammatory Rheumatism Cured by the Use of Pricltly Ash, Poke Root and Potassium. Office Alataiu Star, I Alapaua, Ga., June 9, 1888. f P. P. P hTf g. Go.: Gsnti.kmkn—About nine months ago I was a. utexed with Inflammatory Rheu matism in toy feet, back, shoulders and breast.* The pains were excruciating aud continuous. For six weeks I was coqflned to ray tied, and part of the time had to be assisted to turn over. At times I could not sit up, if to do so would nave secured a fortune. My feet wi re swollen and the bottoms of them so tender t hat walking was a constant source of the liveliest misery Tt- would be impossible to express In words the agony 1 endured. 1 tried a number of remedies, sivcalled, and some of them afforded temporary relief, but it was only temporary, and I liegan to despair of lindinga cure. I had had heard several gentlemen speak of a new Rheumatism cure manufactured at sVycross,and while 1 Opened I doubted. Finally I met two or three part ins who had tried this n-w medicine and had been cured, and 1 decided to procure a pint of it and test its virtues This I did, and was satisfied I had lieen benefited. Well, to make a lung story short, I con tinued to take the medicine until 1 had used three and a hair quart bottles, im proving all the while in my general health, and noticing a steady decrease In the Rheumatism. When the half of the fourth quart was finished, 1 fell as well as I ever did in uiy life, with only an occasional touch of Rheumatism, and since taking the first quart I have been able to attend to my duties in the office, not having lost a moment since on account of mv funner enemy. I shall take two or three quarts more of P. K I’.. beginning about t’/o months from the time I left off taking it: and I am eonfld int that the last vestige of the dreadful malady will tie driven from ray system. I <lo not say that P. P.
