Imt uuiliar song tluit, is, and we really bogin lo believe that tho slave girls born in the distinguished families of Kev:!utionaty fame arc exceptionally loug lived and numerous. The truth is this: tiienu olil crones have rc ally uo i.lea of their length ot days.

The element ,f doubt is quickly eliminated by the vigorous and not ti.o scrupulous imagination ui the reporter who verities the century and nd'la a year or so for Iu :k. jle gives tho world iiis rather doubt Itil iiiforuiation and poekett, his shekels with a grin. It'll ety nahvit do we heir of wiiitu person attaining 100 years, and u- ually when wo do, it is a white poison whose youth was passed in die "old country," ml to as deu.-e an ignor 'neo us that of the old reliable colored Aunty. Putting down then tho vast majority of reported centenarians as the veriest shams tli-.^y idly ure, we ure bound to the oouolusiju thid. a real genuine cuutouuriau is 1 orsoimgo not often met with. Crawlordsville ho.s such a one, however, con corning whose genuineness there is uo maimer of tloubt as his history in recorded in l.iuek and white from his birth in Peiinsvlviiui until to-day, and whoto uriy life is neither obscured by the ignorance of southern rice holds nor tlio slums and byways of Kuropo..

During his residence in Pleasant Kill ho held lho ollioo of postmuitor, not 1 e.line he was of tho tin lo:uinunt party, but because ho was tho geuorut choice of tho people of that section. After tho death of his wif .- Mr. ivruv uiudo his homo with his daughter, liouisu, und tho two spent a major portion of their time with .Mr., King's brother-iu law, Kev.

He eoneontiLiied with the Whig party until its dissolution, when he beenmo a Republican, and a moro unswerving ex ponent of that party's principles it would boh'ird to tiud. Ho was terribly disappointed at the election of Cleveland, and expressed his one desire as that oi' living to see auoth.-r Ivepublienn President. Bo highly elated was he upon the nomination of Harrison that he solemnly declared, after th.i fashion of fifty years ago, that ho would uevor -h ive until he saw Gon.

Ho kept his word, too, nud one of his most highly prized possessions is an autograph letter of lie i'lOoident, During the war he was staunch Union man ami although eu irely too old to enter tho service him sell', lie. often expressed a great readings to Fticrilioe all his sons in -law iu mtting down the llebolliou.

Mr. King's appearance is almost too familiar to be uotod here. Dressed in lie old fash'ons he loves so well, his slender and slightiy bent, but exceedingly sprightly form is a familiar object our streets ns ho daily,in all weather, walks about carrying, but rarely using, a heavy cane. He eats heartily, sleeps well and is regular iu all his habits. He has always been a strictly temperance man in every particular,uud what better demonstration of the reward of a youth well spout can therebethuu thcuuniverirv ho celebrates to-day: Like Adam iu "As Von Like It," he never did apply hot and tempestucus liquor to his blood 1 lives to enjoy a green old ago. Tho

occasion is a significant temperanoo lesson in itself worth tifty frothy lectures by short huired women or long haired meu.

Mr. King's mental faculties aro splendidly preserved. Ho talks readily and gives correct and intelligent accounts of incidents which tianspired IK) years aeO. Within tho hist two years I10 has visited his brother iu Eaton, Ohio, alone, aud returned 11s a man of forty might do. His eyesight is somewhat impaired but he persists in carrying ou all his correspondence which is very considerable. He remombeis with pride his intimate uequuiutuuee with tho two men who built the lirst railroad locomotive iu the United States, numoly Jonathan Jessup and Phiueas Davis, Quaker residents of York, I'a. .Strange to relate, however, (and .11 this ne ihlt'eis from ail other conioiu.nant) he never pitted on the 1 end by Geo go Wi slungton, nor oiit he ever see iiim.
