INTEREST!! Uriel' History of th Bro Unattanoo y\i(i death of the late Dr. Julius J. Hrorlcs. "n last Tuesday uight, brought tbe "?tice of the public the fact ba, |,is father, John T. Broyles, was ? || living at the advanced age of 93 This remarkable man, whose ?."?tory will bc fouD<* *n nhak follows, k? liveJ i" this city for a number of ' 3r? anti is euc of thc very few sur x,,r- of the golden uge of American history. To nay that bin life reads Ikea romance, is to put it mildly deed so wonderful are the facts concerning one of the fathers of thc republic yesterday a Times reporter called it tho residence of Mrs. A. C. Kcy ?arj ?mi Kast Montgomery avenue, lhere Maj. Broyles resides. He was pleasantly entertained by Maj. Broyles1 -io daughters, Mrs. Reynard and Mrs. 'lark, of Home, (ia., who ushered kim into thc presence of their vener ?le lather, who looks more like a JiH "f 7.') than of 93. Following is he history of Maj. Broyles' life, as t(,jd by himself and two daughters. Maj. ?lohn T. Broyles was born in \nderion district (now Anderson ounty South Carolina, in the year HW. He was the son of Aaron Jroylcs and Frances Reed. His ether's people were of German descent, md on his mother's side he could race back to Huguenot blood. His ather, like his (lerman ancestors, was i finn believer in the Baptist faith. Aaron Broyles began life a poer tan. and. when he married Frances :!eed they went to housekeeping in a pt* cabin with a dirt floor. But \ari'ii I ?royles was a worker, and rhett John T. Broyles was born he iad amassed quite a fortune for that iav awl time, and was one of the realthicst planters in Anderson dis rict. .lohn T. '?royles was the oldest of hrec broth TS, Osey, Cain and Abel {royles. Abel, the yousgest, died .hen a boj-, and Cain and Osey {royles lost their lives during the ivil war. so ihat he is the sole sur ,ivur of the children of Aaron hoyles. As a boy Maj. Broyles went through Lany experiences and adventures ihich in his old age he takes great ileasurc in relating. In 1817 he accompanied a relative .o Fort Hawkins (now Macon, Ga.) nth a drove of cattle which the latter iad sold the government for the Bol lier* at that point;, and when a little ?Ide? he accompanied his father to Hamburg, S. C., then a flourishing j rade center. (Augusta, Ga., on the J ?ppoiite side of the Savannah river, j icing at that time only a cluster of toases.) His father raised a great deal of to >aeco. which was packed in immense logsheads, and they were drawn or oiled to market. Hamburg was then he great tobacco market, and young lohn rode and drove one of thc teams bat hauled tobacco from the planta ion to market. AB a youth he was well acquainted '?th John C. Calhoun, then a rising roung lawyer of Anderson district. He went to school with his cousin, 'ojeph K. Brown, afterwards governor if Georgia, at Calhoun academy. Joe j frown's father paid his son's tuition n cattle. - N Utcr John T. Broyles was sent to Tusculum college, Greenville. Tenn., 'here he studied under Rev. Samuel toak, thc father of Presbyterianism ? Tennessee. There were a great ??ny South Carolina youths at this wutution at that time, among them ir*ok I'ickens and John Hammond, were afterwards governors of tfle Wutetto State. Frank Picken* was oe roommate of John T. Broyles and % "?ere fast friends. . . He graduated with honors at Tusou u?. and after bidding an affectionate ?ewell to "Father Doak," as the stu '.?? called their venerable principal, ,e returned to Anderson district, ?ere in 1829 he married Miss wnnde Hammond, daughter of Dud ?1 Hammond, a wealthy planter, of pe district. ?Thc young couple went to bouse !ePing in a floe colonial residence, ,e 8>ft of the bride's father, and f? surrounded by ali the luxuries of pBtatioo lifo-slaves, carriages, fine N<*, etc. Maj. Broyles and his re kmc nothing of work until after Ie war, for in those days there was a ?vc for every duty. Theirs was a 'e ?f pleasuro and happiness; a con ,8n?l round fot dancing, visiting, ??ruining, etc. n 18ft> there were troublous times 1 ' outh Carolina. Tho tariff bill as *"ei by congress enraged the plant ?J at'd South Carolina deolarcd the ^n?H and void. A conflict was ex Jwd and Govi George MoDuffey a meeting of the people of ^rson district in the summer of ?S to bo heljd at Vcrenes. There governor made a oall for volun " to support the commonwealth; S*? fedcral encroachment, and . 0 Broyles was the first man to e Life of Maj. J. T. vies. ?7a rime*. step forward and offer bis services in support of nullification. Ile did so amid great cheering, and Gov. Mc Duffey made him a major of infantry on the spot by way of recognizing and appreciating the fact thatMaj. Broyles was the first volunteer in thc State. This is how he came by the title of Major. Maj. Broyles did not serve in the Mexican war, this statement having beeu an error on the part of Mr. Rey nard, who had forgotten the facts as to the foregoing, but he was very active in politico from that time on. lu 1844 he served as a member of thc .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 I to Anderson district and was again elected to the Legislature of South Carolina. At the outbreak of the civil war Mr. Broyles was uot permit ted to enlist on account of his age, although his sons served till the sur render. I u 1862 he removed to Dalton, Ga., and in 1864 left with other refu gees for Marshall ville. Ga., returning to Chickamauga, Ga., in 1866, where he lived until 18!)5. In that year he moved to Chattanooga, living first at East End and then on Montgomery avenue. Such is the history of Mr. Broyles' 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, tho 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 thc Bible, and knows thc New Testament almost by heart. He 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 seoedc 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. Julius 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 yea vs old. Twenty-five years ago he experienced his second sight, although at present he is nearly blind. Ham's Horn ..Wrinkles. Charity thinketh no evil. The gossip's gun is always loaded.

THE GIRL WHO IS SARCASTIC. She Falls to bc n Social Success, Though She ls Pretty. Do you know a sarcastic womiau ? If you do, you will understand just how disappointed a certain youth is in a girl that for long he worshipped from afar, but bas lately met quite often, only to lind 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? YJU seldom have known a plain woman-a real plain woman who was careless of the stitigs that she inflicted. Beauty will be more daring. And for a while we ai'e willing to for give for beauty's sake, but, my pretty, sarcastic girl, remember that beauty is not thc chief und most binding charm of woman. Neither bl it to bc ranked as the least of her charms, but it is certainly uot the greatest. The youth that told rae of his disap pointment in tbe sarcastic girl still admires her beauty, but he is a sensi ble, manly sort of fellow, with a heart that i.; generous aad kiud, and he has no weapons to match sarcasm. He is clever, too, and I know that ready speeches that arc 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 remurks in return and feels all the time that he is being made a goose of when he could bc just as smart if it were not that his sense of gallantry forbids it." I am afraid thc sarcastic girl is tak ing an unfair advantage of thc 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 the 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" bc spied turning down thc 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 any 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 sti'oll 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 suro 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? The .'advancement"-and "pro gress" of women that are talked of so much, have tended to make woman kind more generous and tolerant, and* a generous woman is never sarcastic. A woman to be best loved and most admired does not need to go through ?ka MnaU - --:~~-J L-UlLit-' .SSS ?iui|;iiiiug a li IA uciiu. lug that a woman's chief aim and end in life is to marry. There is nothing more delightful than the "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 to bc original, was disagreeably so. A good many people arc concerning themselves of late-no doubt unneces sarily- shout spinsterhood and bach elorhood, wondering why men and wo men do not marry instead of leading lives of single blessedness or non blessedness, and most of them putting thc blame of it all at woman's door. Thc Temple Magazine of London, that popular center of such "symposiums," has pointedly asked the question, ")Vhy do women pref or to remain unwed ?" One woman answers with the statement that "the woman who wants to enjoy life should certainly remain unwed." Another is of thc opinion that it is "from sheer selfish ness," while another takes a higher viow and says that it is because wo men "know more of men than they ever did in olden times, and knowledge means disenenchtment." Then comes a candid little lady and answers tho question by asking another: "Is there in the world any woman who docs care to remain unwed?" and then roplies to herself with a flat negative. 1 am inclined to think that this wotnau is already wed, and that happily, too. But I do not think it fair to allow her to slip into the Temple Magazine's "symposium." though would the siugle woman be as honest? Positively the subject of to marry or not to marry is growiug tiresome. Besides, it is not "good form," aud this is the day of good form-to talk of marriage possibilities. The wide awake girl of the day is capable of just as deep devotion if she does read loss of sentimental pcetry and cares more for wholesome out-of-door exer cise. In fact, I for one am quite in love with the bright and busy young wotnau who has "never fainted in her life" and .diowo no sign of ever doiug so. Being healthy and happy hearted she is nothing of a pessimist, and seeing only the best side of life, she is merry in conversation, which is the happier way for a woman's tongue. The sarcastic girl will never be "in it" with the optimistic girl that I know and love, and the best quality < of the new woman is optimism.- 1 Margaret Hannis, iii ?S'f. Louis Ile- 1 public. 1 - - ^ ? m. AU Doubts Dissipated. "No woman," said thc somewhat . acrid lady, "should marry until she is sure thc man who asks her to do so , really loves her. And," she proceed ed, gloomily, "it is very hard to be sure of that." .'Perhaps so," replied the Kentucky lady. "But I was absolutely sure before I married." "I don't see how you could be. It so often happens that people do not know their own minds." "There was no room for doubt in this case. We were out sleighriding thc evening thc colonel proposed to me. I had refused him several times before, and I told him that I would always esteem him as a friend. Wc heard the jingle of bells behind us. The colonel's horse, a thoroughbred of which he was very proud, quickened its pace at the sound. The colonel looked around and exclaimed: 'Here's thc chance I've been waiting for. That's Judge Peabody behind us. Ile has been bragging about that new horse of his for the lust six weeks, but whenever I tried to get him right down to a race he has dodged out of it somehow without acknowledging that this horse could beat him." "Thc colonel slowed up so as to let the Judge overtake him. The Judge didn't dare refuse the challenge, be cause he had a girl with him. He would not allow himself to be humili ated in her eyes. As soon as the two sleighs were even, the colonel gave our horse a cut with the whip, and away we went, the animals with necks eagerly extended and the people lean ing over the dashboards trying to help them along. For a few eeconds the horses' feet thumped on the road in perfect, rhythm; then we began to move ahead. The village was about a mile distant, and thc colonel leaned out, turned and shouted: " 'Judge, I'll see you at thc post office.' "The Judge gave his horse a blow with thc w"hip, but he was already using all the speed bc had. I turned around, half out of the sleigh, to keep 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 thc sleigh was not wholly overturned and was speeding on its way to the postofficc, 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." "He was coming back after you," suggested one bf the listeners. "That's exactly what he was doing. And I 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." - it^ . fi - . - A fruit dealer was noted for having attached to his cart a thin and bony horse. He left his animal one day in ohargc of his youthful son. When the father returned, he found the horse lying on the ground. There upon he immediately exclaimed to his son, ' Look here! you've been leaning on him again, have yer?" Siced Poison Cured.

Near Haus Souci, the favorite resi lenee ol' Frederick the li real, then ivas a mill which much interfered with the view from the palace. One Jay the king sent to inquire what thc owner would take for ?Lc mill: and thc unexpected answer came back that thc aiillcr would not sell it for any money. l'Ile king, much incensed, gave orders that the mill should be pulled down rho miller made no resistance, but Folding his arms, (juicily remarked, "The king may do this, but there are laws in Prussia," and he took legal proceedings, thc result of which was the king had to rebuild thc 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 lie could upon it, and, turning to bis courtiers, remarked. "I am glad to see Lhat there ara just laws and upright judges in my kingdom." A sequel to ibis incident occurred about forty years ago. A descendant of the mill ir had come into possession of the nill. After having stuggled for s?v irai years against ever-increasing pov irty, and being at length quite unable io keep on with his business, he wrote ;o the king of Prussia, reminding him )f the incident we have related, and stating that if his majesty felt so dis tosed, he should bc very thankful, io ihe present difficulty, to sell the mill. The king wrote the following reply in tis own handwriting: "My dear ueigh )or, I can not allow you to sell the nill.
