INTEREST!] ."Brief History of th Bro Chattanot The death of the late Dr. Julius J. Broyles, oa lastTuesday night, brought to the notice of the public the fact that his farther, John T. Broyles, /was still living at the advanced age of 93 years. This remarkable man, whose history will be found in what follows, has lived in this city for a number of years; and is one of the very few sur vivors of the golden age of Americau history. To say that his life reads like a romance, is to put it mildly indeed, so wonderful are the facts concerning one of the fathers of the republic. Yesterday a Times reporter called at the residence of Mrs. A. C. Rey nard, 106 East Montgomery avenue, where Maj. Broyles resides. He was pleasantly entertained by Maj. Broyles* two daughters, Mrs. Reynard, and Mrs. Clark, of Rome, Ga., who ushered him into the presence of their vener able father, who looks more like a man of 75 than of 93. Following is the history of Maj. Broyles' life, as told by himself and two daughters. Maj. John T. Broyles was born in Anderson district (now Anderson county) South Carolina, in the year 1806. He was the son of Aaron Broyles and Fraaces Reed. His father's people were of German descent, and on his mother's side he could trace back to Huguenot blood. His father, like his German ancestors, was a firm believer in the Baptist faith. Aaron Broyles began life a poor man, and, when he married Frances Reed they went to housekeeping in a log cabin with a dirt floor. But Aaron, Broyles was a worker, and when John T. Broyles was born he had amassed quite a fortune for that day and time, and was one of the wealthiest planters in Anderson dis trict. John T. Broyles was the oldest of three brothers, Osey, Cain and Abel Broyles. Abel, the youBgest, died when a boy, and Cain and Osey Broyles lost their lives during the civil war, so that he is the sole sur vivor of the children of Aaron Broyles. As a boy Maj. Broyles went through many experiences and adventures which in his old age he takes great pleasure in relating. In 1817 he accompanied a relative to Fort Hawkins (now Macon, Ga.) with a drove of cattle which the latter had sold the government for the sol diers at that point; and when a little older he accompanied his father to Hamburg, S. C.) then a flourishing trade center. (Augusta, Ga., on the opposite side of the Savannah river, being at that time only a cluster of j bootes.) His father raised a great deal of to b?ceo, which was packed in immense hogsheads, and they were drawn or rolled to market. Hamburg was then the great tobacco market, and young , John rode and drove one of the teams j that hauled tobacco from the planta- j tion to market. As a youth he was well acquainted ; with John C. Calhoun, then a rising j young lawyer of Anderson district. He went to school with his cousin, i Joseph E. Brown, afterwards governor of Georgia, at Calhoun academy. Joe ! Brown's father paid his son's tuition ! in cattle. Later John T. Broyles was sent to j Tusculum college, (ireenville. Tenn., where he studied under Rev. Samuel Doak, the father of Presbyterianism in Tennessee. There were a great many South Carolina youths at this institution at that time, among them Frank Pickens and John Hammond, who were afterwards governors of the j Palmetto State. Frank Pickens was the roommate of John T. Broyles and they ""ere fast friends. He graduated with honors at Tuscu lum, and after bidding an affectionate farewell to "Father Doak." as ihe stu dents called their venerable principal, j he returned to Anderson district, j where in IS2i? he married Miss ! Clorinde Hammond, daughter of Dud- j ley Hammond, a wealthy planter of j the district. Thc young couple went to house keeping in a tine colonial residence, j the gift of thc bride's father," and were surrounded by all the luxuries of plantation life-slaves, carriages, fine horses, etc. Maj. Broyles and his wife knee nothing of work until after the war, for in those days there was a slave for every dut}'. Theirs was a life of pleasure and happiness: a con tinual round-fof dancing, visiting, entertaining, etc. In 1832 there were troublous times in South Carolina. The tariff bill as passed by congress enraged the plant ers, and South Carolina declared the act null and roid. A conflict was ex pected and Gov.' George McDuffey called a meeting of the peoph of Anderson district in the summer of 1832, to be held at Vcrones. There thc Covernor made a call for volun teers to support the commonwealth against federal encroachment, and John T. Broyles was thc first man to SKETCH. e Life of Maj. J. T. vies. iga Times. step forward and offer his services in support of nullification. He did so amid great cheering, and Gov. Mc Duffey made him a major of infantry on the spot by way of r?cognizing and appreciating the fact that Maj. Broyles was the first volunteer in the State. This is how he came by the title of Major. Maj. Broyles did not serve in the Mexican war, this statement having been an error on the part of Mr. Rey nard, who had forgotten the facts as to the foregoing, but he was very active in politics from that time on. In 1844 he served as a member of the South Carolina Legislature, and in 1847 moved to Tennessee, where he purchased and developed a fine farm on the Nolachuky river, eight miles from Jonesboro. In 1855 he returned to Anderson district and was again elected to the Legislature of South Carolina. At the outbreak of the civil war Mr. Broyles was not permit ted to enlist on account of his age, although his sons served till the sur render. In 1862 he removed to Dalton, Ga., and in 1864 left with other refu gees for Marshallville, Ga., returning to Chickamauga, Ga., in 1866, where he lived until 1895. In that year he moved to Chattanooga, living first at East End and then on Montgomery avenue. Such, is the history of Mr. Broyles1 life. 'He has seen his parents and brothers die, then his wife and every one of his sons. He has seen epochs pass like pictures in a panorama. He remembers distinctly thc war of 1812. the Indian wars, the Mexican war and civil war, and is at present much in terested in the Cuban situation. In his younger days he was a great politician and pamphleteer. He has always been a man of literary and musical tastes, being at one time a superb violinist. He has a special liking for the Bible, and knows the New Testament almost by heart. Ile is also well posted on Jewish history, having a great liking for Josephus, Philo and other ancient writers. He is a very decided democrat, and, having been the first man to secede from the union in 1832, thereby gain ing a military title, he still believes in States' rights and the supremacy of the South. Aside from his two daughters he had five sons, two of whom died in infancy. Edward Broyles died four years ago in this city. Dudley H. Broyles died during the war and Dr. Julias J. Broyles last Thursday. Maj. Broyles is a man of iron con stitution. When a young man he could lift more and jump higher than any man in Anderson district. He drank a good deal in early life, and says that it is his opinion that every body should drink whisky in modera tion. He has also chewed tobacco ever since he was 15 years old. Twenty-five years ago he experienced his second sight, although at present he is nearly blind. Ram's Horn Wrinkles. Charity thinkcth no evil. Thc gossip's gun is always loaded.

THE GIRL WHO IS SARCASTIC. She Fails te be a Soeial Success, Though She is Pretty. Do you know a sarcastic wo?han ? If you do, you will understand just how disappointed a certain youth is in a girl that for long he worshipped from afar, but has lately met quite often, only to find that while possessed of the sharp wits he believed she had, she has an equally sharp tongue. And the sarcastic girl is pretty. This goes almost without saying, doesn't it? You seldom have known a plain woman-a real plain woman who was careless of the stings that she inflicted. Beauty will be more daring. And for a while we are willing to for give for beauty's sake, but, my pretty, sarcastic girl, remember that beauty is not the chief and most binding charm of woman. Neither is it to be ranked as tba least of her charms, but it is certainly not the greatest. The youth that told me of his disap pointment in the sarcastic girl still admires her beauty, but he is a sensi ble, manly sort of fellow, with a heart that is generous and kind, and he has no weapons to match sarcasm. He is clever, too, and I know that ready speeches that are fine and keenly edged are often checked because he is too generous to display his wit at another's expense. "And what is a fellow to do?" he asks. "If he is half a gentleman he only makes polite remarks in return and feels all the time that he is being made a goose of when he could be just as smart if it were not that his sense of gallantry forbids it." I am afraid the sarcastic girl is tak ing an unfair advantage of the defense lessness of the sterner sex. A man fears nothing more than a sharp femi nine tongue. If you do not believe this ask some man that you know. I believe he'll tell you that he'd rather rush into thc thick of a battle than spend one evening in the "quiet" company of a sarcastic woman. It may be that I am exaggerating his feelings in this regard, but I do not think I am. In fact. I've seen a brave old soldier put on his hat and quietly slip out of the back door of his home to "get away from that wo man's tongue,'" when "that woman" he spied coming down the walk to make an afternoon call. She was very entertaining, that bright young person that the soldier always spoke of as "that woman." She had studied and was better posted than most people, but somehow when she talked she had things all her own way. No one thought of having auy views of one's own, and if one had and expressed them everybody else felt that that one was venturing on dangerous ground. And the old soldier had views. That's the reason he liked to take a quiet stroll in the garden back of the house when "that woman" came in sight. The sarcastic woman and the pro found woman are never social successes. And as for business successes-well, I do not believe that these traits are apt to help one onward in the busy world. In fact, the woman of kindly and gentle disposition gains a thou sand points where the sarcastic wo man would fail. The profound wo man is so sure of her knowledge that one never thinks of offering her a helping hand. One feels so certain that she would refuse it if one should. But have you noticed that one sel dom meets a sarcastic woman nowa days? Thc "advancement" and ''pro gress'" of women that are talked of so much, have tended to make woman kind mere generous and tolerant, and a generous woman is never sarcastic. A woman to be best lorcd and most admired does not need to go through the world simpering and believing that a woman's chief aim and end in life is to marry. There is nothing more delightful than thc "atmosphere of feminine grace and culture." When this is disturbed by mannishness then all is spoiled. If about the girl of tho Twentieth Century there hinges such an atmosphere all who enter it will be glad that long, long ago there faded away the foolish girl who was taught a few pretty "accomplishments" and dressed herself like a doll for men to admire, or, daring ti? be original, was disagreeably so. A .^">od many people are concerning themselves of late no doubt unneces sarily- about spinsterhood and bach elorhood, wondering why men and wo men do not marr) instead oT leading lives of .-ingle blessedness or non blcssedncss, and most of them putting thc Manie of it, all at woman's door. The Temple Magazine of London, that popular center of such "symposiums, has pointedly asked thc question, "Why do women prefer to remain unwed?" One woman answers with thc statement that "thc woman who want- to enjoy lift.'should certainly remain unwed. Another is of the opinion that it is "from sheer selfish ness." while another takes a higher view ano! says that it is because wo men "know more ol' men than they ever did in olden times, and knowledge mcansdiscncnchtmcnt." Then comes a candid little lady and answers the question by asking another: "ls there in the world any woman who docs care to remain unwed?"' and then replie herself with a flat negative. I inclined to think that this woma already wed. and that happily, I But I do not think it fair to allow to slip into the Temple Magazii "symposium," though would thc sir woman be as honest? Positively thc subject of to ma or not to marry is growing tiresoi Besides, it is not "good form," s this is the day of good form-to t of marriage possibilities. The wi awake girl of the day is capable just as deep devotion if she does r< less of sentimental poetry and ca more for wholesome out-of-door ex eise. In fact, I for one am quite love with thc bright and busy you woman who has "never fainted in 1 life'' and shows no sign of ever doi so. Being healthy and happy heart she is nothing of a pessimist, a seeing only the best side of life, s is merry in conversation, which is t happier way for a woman's tongi The sarcastic giri will never bc " it" with the optimistic girl that know and love, and the best quali of the new woman is optimism. Margaret Hannis, in St. Louis /? public. All Donuts Dissipated. "No woman," said the somewh acrid lady, "should marry until she sure the man who asks her to do really loves her. And," she procee ed, gloomily, "it is very hard to 1 sure of that." "Perhaps so," replied the Kentucl lady. "But I was absolutely su before I married." "I don't see how you could be. so often happens that people do m know their own minds." "There was no room for doubt i this case. We were out sleighridir the evening the colonel proposed 1 me. I had refused him several timt before, and I told him that I woul always esteem him as a friend. W heard the jingle of bells behind u? The colonel's horse, a thoroughbred ( which he was very proud, quickenc its pace at thc sound. The colon? looked around and exclaimed: 'Herc thc chance I've been waiting foi That's Judge Peabody behind us. Il has been bragging about that nc horse of his for the last six weeks, bu whenever I tried to get him righ down to a race he has dodged out of i somehow without acknowledging tha this horse could beat him." "The colonel slowed up so as to le thc Judge overtake him. The Judg didn't dare refuse the challenge, be cause he had a girl with him. H would not allow himself to be humili ated in her eyes. As soon as the tw< sleighs were even, the colonel gav< our horse a cut with the whip, ant away we went, the animals with necki eagerly extended and the people lean ing over the dashboards trying to heir them along. For a few eeconds the horses' feet thumped on the road it perfect rhythm; then we began tc move ahead. The village was about s mile distant, and the colonel leaned out, turned and shouted: " Mudge, I'll see you at thc post office.' "The Judge gave his horse a blow with thc whip, but he was already using all the speed he had. I turned around, half out of thc sleigh, to kee]) a lookout. The sleigh struck a boulder and pitched me out into a snowdrift. I was not hurt, and I gave thanks when I saw the sleigh was not wholly overturned and was speeding on its way to thc postorlice, still seve ral lengths ahead of the Judge. Im agine my astonishment when I saw the colonel slow up, let the Judge pass him, and turn round." "Ile was coming back after you."' suggested one of thc listeners. "That's exactly what he was doing. And 1 concluded then and there that when a Kentucky gentleman was will ing to lose a horse race for my sake, there wasn't any excuse for doubting his affection." - m . m> ? ? - A fruit dealer was noted for having attached to his cart a thin and bony horse.

Frederick the Great and the Miller, Near Sans Souci, thc favorite resi dence of Frederick the Great, there was a mill which much interfered with the view from the palace. One day the king sent to inquire what the owner would take for the mill: and thc unexpected answer came back that the miller would not sell it for any money. The king, much incensed, gave orders that thc mill should be pulled down. The miller made no resistance, but folding his arms, quietly remarked, "The king may do. this, but there are laws in Prussia," and he took legal proceedings, the result of which was the king.had to rebuild the mill and to pay a good sum of money besides in compensation. Although his ma jesty was much chagrined at this end to the matter, he put the best face he could upon it, and, turning to his courtiers, remarked. "I am glad to see that there are just laws and upright judges in my kingdom." A sequel to this incident occurred about forty years\ago. A descendant of the mill er had come into possession of the mill. After having stuggled for sev eral years against ever-increasing pov erty, and being at length quite unable to keep on with his business, he wrote to the king of Prussia, reminding him of thc incident wc have related, aud stating that if his majesty felt so dis posed, he should be very thankful, in the present difficulty, to sell the mill The king wrote the following reply in his own handwriting: "My dear neigh bor, I can not allow you to sell the mill. It must always be in your pos session as long as one member of the family exists, for it belongs to the history of Prussia. I regret, how ever, to hear you are in such straight ened circumstances, and therefore send you herewith ?1,200 in hope that it may be of service in restoring your fortunes.

It consists in confining thc prisoner in a closet too small for him to stir. While he stands, water, one drop at a time, is allowed to fall from a faucet on his head. It is said that few persons can endure this punishment for more than an hour. The American working man, while he works shorter hours, works harder than working man of any other nation. He works not only with his hands but with his head. He is an intelli gent worker and pro duces more in a given length of time than the work er of any other na tion. He not only exhausts himself physically, but mentally; not only muscularly, but nervously. The consequence is that while he is better fed and better housed, he is not, as a rule, a9 healthy a man as his brother working-man of European countries. More over, like all Americans, the American working-man is prone to disregard his health and frequently even takes pride in abusing it. It rests with American wives to protect their husbands in this respect. A little watchfulness on the part of the wife will frequently save her husband from a tong spell of ill-health and possibly from some fatal illness. When a man feels "out of sorts " it is because his digestion is dis ordered or his liver is torpid. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will promptly correct these disorders.

It cures 98 per cent, of; all cases of consumption, bronchitis, asth ma, weak lungs, lingering cough, spitting! of blood and disease of the throat and nasal cavities.
