FRANCE S POPULAR HERO.
Characteristics and Career of Gen.
Boulanger.
Pnris Cor. Philadelphia Press, 2d inst.
“Gen. Boulanger is the most promi
nent Frenchman in the Republic to
day, and a Democratic administration
Could not do without him. He is the
leader of the impulsive elements, the
aggressive forces; and France, you
know, is both impulsive and aggres
sive.”
Such were the words of United States
Minister McLane as he handed me a
note of introduction to this modern
Napoleon a few' weeks after his retire
ment from the Ministry of War. He
was then in the zenith of his personal
popularity as a General and regarded
as the man on w'hom would fall the
chief command in the event ol war
with Prussia. But in the months that
have intervened Boulanger has ceased
to be a popular idol merely; he is a po
litical power preponderating the great
parties united against him and no stretch
of imagination is needed to accept the
possibility of the prediction that the
end of the year will lind him dictator
or an exile.
An hour after leaving Minister Mc
Lane I alighted in front of 1’Hotel du
Louvre. At the same time a gentle
man, who very much resembled in gen
eral air ex-Secretary of War Robert
Lincoln, of Chicago, emerged from the
ollice of the house and walked rapidly
down the open corridors, which encircle
the inner court of all Parisian liostel-
ries, and passed out into another apart
ment. lie wore the light-brown beard,
closely clipped, the shining silk hat,
faultless kid gloves of summer hue, the
Prince Albert coat (black) and light
trousers, the neat-fitting shoes, had the
rapid step and the admirable atmos
phere of the late Secretary of War of
America, but was scarcely as heavy.
Instantly I remarked to my companion
that that must be Gen. Boulanger, for
whom 1 was looking. The military at
titude, the quick, piercing eyes, the
firm chin, closely pressed lips and the
quiet recognition he received on every
hand told me that this was the hero of
the day in all France.
During a half hour’s talk I had with
him I got an impression of Boulanger’s
character, which has been verified by a
number of his friends. It requires no
large faculty for character-reading to
get at the disposition of Gen. Boulan
ger. He is 50 years old. His light
brown hair and beard do not, however,
show any appreciable traces of age; nor
is his step less elastic or his face more
furrowed than they were when he
stood in the forefront of his command
during the siege of Paris and helped to
. drive back the German adversary. lie
is essentially a soldier, by birth and ed
ucation. It is his instinct, his impulse,
to be aggressive, and to stand on both the
offensive and defensive. He is probably
the most enthusiastic admirer of the re
public of any of its prominent advocates.
A word is sufficient provocation for bat
tle with him, and he knows not defeat..
This is why the uprising elements sing
“Vive la Boulanger!” whenever he
appears in the streets, and run in thou
sands after liis carriage, or carry him in
their arms whenever he will permit
them. He rather courted the counsels
of the army than the officers of the
Administration while minister of war.
Even the most ardent opposition to
the policies of this man remark his
wonderfjii diplomacy and acknowledge
his grace. He is not only graceful in
his military achievements and official
acts, but he is the personification of
grace, in his individual capacity. At
the ball reception, in the dining-room,
the halls of the republic, the ladies
rave over him, although he was mai^
ried in 1SG5, has two daughters and a
long string of family connections. A
lady who frequently goes to him for
information of an official character tells
me that he is the proudest of his grace
fulness of any man she ever saw, and
that he never misses an opportunity of
exhibiting his grace.
The ladies say he can remove then-
coats or assist in putting them on,
escort to the dining-room or recep
tion-hall, open a fan or mount a
horse in a way that will elicit admira
tion from the most stoical. The same,
the men say, is true of his military acts.
Everywhere that he goes troops of ac
tresses and demi-mondaue follow- him,
courting a smile or a bow. Over all
women, as can easily be seen, he exer
cises the greatest influence. He is the
especial hero of feminine France, and
he reciprocates to the fullest extent the
admiration of thejadies.
Gen. Boulanger is an enterprising and
advancing man and does not devote
his attention solely to his own elevation
or to society. He graduated from the
military school at St. Cyr at an early
a oe. as an artillery man, and years af
terward, when he w T as up in the ranks,
he studied for the cavalry, not as an
amusement, or to enter that branch of
the army, but to make himself more
efficient as an artilleryman. He soon
possessed and gave evidence of great
ingenuity as a soldier. He was at an
early age what is known as an all-round
*oldier.° His devotion to his fellows in
the army at once gave him the confi
dence of every man in the ranks. In all
of his movements in every branch of
life he has had the support of the army,
and it is this that gives him so much
influence.
Undoubtedly Boulanger is the most
popular man since the time of Gambet-
ta. But this popularity has only grown
since 1882. So rapidly has he sprung
into public favor and power that the
more conservative are wondering
whether he is ambitious and a schemer,
a politician or a man of action; wheth-
erhe is a Napoleon or a Washington a
man of action or reflection. He is an
enigma, and his most intimate friends
do not, while pronouncing him a patri
ot, profess to understand him. His ad
vancement is phenomenal. Had he
been successful during the Schnaebele
excitement in precipitating a war with
Germany, there is a feeling that the
riotous elements would hate rallied
around Gen. Boulanger and made him
Emperor or King.
“France is making history so fast,”
said a member of the Chamber of Dep
uties to me the other day, “that one
cannot foretell the situation a day
hence. Should there be an uprising,
the possibilities of this mar, are beyond
conjecture. lie is the only man the
passionate can rally around; or, in oth
er words, he is the only one who -will
hoist the flag and permit the rally,
lie is not a Napoleon in the field, nor
has there ever been a demand by his
countrymen for him to-lead the army.
Boulanger has simply led an impulse
which has been taken up by what may
be the majority. He is a hero by
chance. The French are so impulsive,
however, that certain restrictions must
be thrown around this man to keep
him in his place. When it became ap
parent that he meant to precipitate
war with Germany it w-as necessary to
get rid of him. So his recommenda
tions in the budget were disregarded
by both houses of Parliament.
“Being without resources, there w-as
only one thing to do for the safety of
the army, and that w-as to get rid of the
Secretary of War. So Gen. Boulanger
was nominated to command the Thir
teenth Corps at Clermont-Ferrand.
Had he been summarily thrown out of
the Cabinet, as is done sometimes in
America, the army and the inflamma
ble populace would have tried to main
tain his standing at the point of the
bayonet. By this act it was supposed
he would be a general with no more
real authority or rank than about fif
teen other officers, although his recent
connection with the Cabinet would
naturally give him considerable pres
tige.” But those w r ho took this view
reckoned without their host, Boulan
ger retained his popularity, continued
to grow in power, until his removal
from the army was decided upon, as he
w-as becoming “a danger to the repub-
lic.” His disgrace, it w-as believed,
would turn the tide, and the result is—
what? That Boulanger is to-day more
popular and powerful than Gambetta
was at any period of his career.
Gen. Boulanger was made Minister
of War through outside pressure, and
during the few- months he held that
position he effected many valuable re
forms. His predecessor had maintain
ed all the ancient rules in the army
the Cabinet grated and conflicts were
constant.
Boulanger’s military career is soon
reviewed. It is said that he who bears
the honorable scars of war is an honor
able soldier. Boulanger, be it said, is
under this standard a brave and honor
able soldier. He has twice been
wounded in battle—once in the chest
under the command of MacMahon, in
the expedition Grande-Kobyle, and
again in the siege of Paris. Boulanger
graduated in the army in 1857 and w-as
made a first lieutenant of the Algerian
or Turcais Regiment, The first arms
he boi-e was under MacMahon in
the Grande-Kobyle expedition, in
conflict with Italy. His wound sub
jected him to long sickness, and he did
not rejoin his regiment till I860, at Bli-
dah. In March of that year he ‘receiv
ed probationary promotion and in Sep
tember follow-ing w-ent out at the head
of a new battalion—Cochincliine. At,
the age of 25 years he was a captain.
In 1807 he was ordei’ed as captain in
structor in the military school from
which he graduated.
There he remained till 1870, when he
became chief of a battalion, and was
prominent in the memorable siege of
Paris. It is claimed that he got such a
hatred of the Germans then that lie has
ever since tried to involve his country
in a war with Germany. In 1871 he
w-as promoted to be colonel, but his
nomination was not confirmed by the
Senate, and he went back to his former
rank. In November, 1874, he was
again promoted to be colonel, and this
time he was confirmed. He was sent
to America at the head of the French
commission to attend our Centennial;
in 1881 w-as in the same capacity at
Yorktow-n, to attend the anniversary
centennial celebration of the American
alliance with France, and in 1SS4 w-as
promoted to be a general. He is w-ell
known in America, where he has trav
eled extensively, and is popular every
where.

ITS USE FOR KIDNEYS.
Jesup, GA., May, 25,1887.
I have been suffering from kidney disease
fora month past, and the pain in mj back
was very severe My occupation requires a
rood deal of writing at night, ana I suffered
all the time. I saw one man who said he was
cured by using Botanic Blood Balm, (B. L. B)
and I commenced usiug it, and the pain is a
ore-it deal less. I have only used two bottles,
and I believe it will effect a cure by the use
of a few more bottles. Yours respectfully,

and created many new ones w-hicli were
oppressive and senseless. For instance,
a soldier could, not wear a beard. It
was held that a mustache made a sol
dier appear more fierce and at the same
time gave him a ■ stylish look. Gen.
Boulanger issued a series of orders,
abolishing a majority of traditionary
practices, and in them held that if a
man wanted to wear any kind of beard
or shave clean, wear long or short hair,
or anything a gentleman should do,
in ranks or out, he could have his
pleasure.
A Bonapartist leader said a day or
two ago he did not think Boulanger
contemplated a coup d'etat, and, discus
sing the General’s popularity, said:
“Gen. Boulanger won his spurs at
the head of the War Department by
no vain show-. Seven or eight years
ago, having plodded as no other man
has ever plodded at the Ministry of
War in the subordinate position which
lie then occupied, he drew up a series
of reports and proposals based upon his
knowledge and experience of what the
army required, but they were shelved
by his superiors. Of this the outside
world knew- nothing, suspected nothing.
Once in office, however, his plans were
already cut and dried, and he carried
them out without flinching, and with a
dexterity, moreover, w-liieh astonished
and disconcerted all the old fogies of
the army—some of those w-ho had pre
ceded him, and others who would wil
lingly have taken his place.”
The same gentleman argued that no
other Minister of War had raised the
morals of the army in such an incredi
bly short space of time. He had fairly
electrified it. To Gen. Boulanger also
he attributed the entire credit of the
mobilization plans. These, he said,
were the results of his previous years’
study and preparation at the Ministry
of War, adding that it was manifest
that operations on such a scale could
pot have been devised in a day or a
fortnight.
An unusual coincidence was met in
the organization of the Cabinet during
the time Gen. Boulanger was a member
of it. The President of the Cabinet
w r as M. de Freycinet, who had deposed
Boulanger when the latter was in com
mand of the troops at Tunis. Freyci
net regarded Boulanger’s course in the
army as likely to create an aristocracy
and therefore dangerous. This was
but a short time before President Gre-
vy called Boulanger from the army into
the Cabinet. Of course, there could
not under these circumstances be a
very cordial feeling betw-een Freyci
net and Boulanger, and their work in

Our capacity for affection is not to be

an article of which there should he a

“Walter, dear?”
“Yes, darling.”
“You gone yet, love ?”
“No, pet.”
“Are you in a hurry, sweetest?”

I have been suffering for most thirty years
with and itching and burning all over my
face and body. I took eighteen bottles of one

menced last January to use B. B. B-, and af
ter using live bottles I felt stouter ana better
than I have in thirty years, my health is bet
ter, and I weigh more than I ever did. lhe
itching lu>s nearly ceased,and I am confident
that a few more bottles of B. B. B will cure
me entirely. I am sixty-two years old now
and can do a good day’s work in my field. 1
consider B. B. 15. the best blood purifier thatjl

I cheerfully state the following facts in re

My little son, 14 years of age, suffered from an
a -ute attack of rheumatism,caused by undue
exposure and chilling of the blood. I heard
your remedy highly recommended, and pur
chased a bottle from Moncrief & Bro., Pres
cott, Ark. In about one month, after using
this bottle he became so much better that J
got the second bottle, which is now being us
ed, and my son is nearly well, and I think by
removing "him to a cooler summer climate
(which I will do) and continuing its use, a
perfect cure will be effected. I consider B.B.
B. a most excellent blood purifier.

A REMARKABLE LETTER.
Down Two Years With Rheumatism
and Now Entirely Well.
I have been troubled with rheumatism for
two years; had gotten so I could scarcely
walk, and was in pain nearly all the time. At
ni*riit could not sleep for the excruciating
oain. The bone in one of my legs was very
much enlarged, and X feared that amputatiixn
would be necessary. After trying many dif
ferent patent medicines claiming to cure
rheumatism and other complaints, I was al
most discouraged until about two weeks ago,
when I had to give up business, Mr. W. J.
Willingham, of your city, hearing of my com
plaint, advised the use of your medicine, and
assured me of his confidence in it as a cure
for rheumatism. I at once purchased a bot
tle, hoping it might relieve me, but not having
much faith in it, or in anything else; but,
thank God, I am very rnuen relieved, and I
firmly believe I will get entirely well. The
swelling lias gone down and I am in no pain
whatever. Am at work again, and have been
for several days. Can run up and down the
stairwav in factory as nimbly as ever. I
thank you for this earthly salvation to me.
I write without your solicitation, or any
knowledge of you, except through your med
icine. I write because I feel grateful for what
lias been done for me. I am yours, very
truly, W. A. Moore,
Foreman for Willingham Lumber Co.,
Chattanooga, Tenn.
If any one should doubt, as to my being
cured, or as to my statements, I refer them to
the firm I am with and have been with for
many years: Mr Phillip Young, of Chatta
nooga; Mr. Hamilton, foreman of carpentry,
with W. L. & Co., Chattanooga; Dr. Acre, of
Chattanooga; Mr. Phil Hartman, shipping
clerk for \V. L. Co.; F. B. Cheek, Chatta
nooga ; Mrs. Cooper, Chattanooga, and one
hundred others in factory and in city.
j SHE HAD TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE.
Clover Bottom, Sullivan County Tenn.,
June 20,1887.—Blood Balm Co. Atlanta, Ga.—
Sir: I have been thinking of writing to you
for some time to let you know of the wonder
ful cure your B. B. B. has effected on myself
and daughter. She, a girl of 16 years, was
taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I
used aoout 30 bottles of other medicine to no
purpose. The doctors said the only remedy
left was amputation. That we all were op
posed to. I was in Knoxville the 8th of Jan
uary, 1887, and while buying a bill of drugs
called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs.
Sanford, Chamberland & Co. recommended
the B. B. B. I purchased one-half dozen bot
tles, and, to my utter surprise, after using
three or four bottles, my giri’s leg was entire
ly well. I also had a very ugly running sore
on the calf oi my leg and one bottle cured it,
after trying all other remedies. I wish you
much success, and I do hope that all suffering
humanity may hear and believe in the only
true blood purifier. I have tried three or four
blood purifiers, but the B.B.B. is the only one
that ever did me or mine any good. You can
use my name if you wish. I am well known
in tiffs and Washington county, also all over
Virginia. R. S. Elsom.
BLOOM TAINT FROM BIRTH.
Booneville, Ind., January 27, 1887.
I shall ever praise the day that you gentle
men were born, and shall bless the day that
your medicine was known to me. I had blood
poison from birth, and so much so that all
the doctors of my town said 1 would be crip
pled for life. They said I would lose my low
er limb. I could not stand in my class to re
cite my lessons, and eleven bottles of your
Balm cured me sound and well. You can use
mv name as you see fit. In my case there
were knots on my shinbones as large as a
hen’s egg. Yours, Mirtle M. Tanner.
A GOOD EXPERIMENT.
Meridian, Miss., July 12, 1887.
For a number of years I have suffered un
told agonies from the effects of blood poison.
I had my case treated by several prominent
physicians, and recived but little, if any relief.
I resorted to all sorts of patent medicines,
spendinga large amount ol money but getting
no better. My attention was attracted by the
cures said to have been effected by B. B. B.,
and I began taking it merely as a experiment,
having tut little faith In the ultimate results.
To my utter surprise I soon commenced to
improve, and deem myself to-day a well and
hearty man—all owing to the excellent qual
ities of B. B. B. I cannot commend it too
highly to those suffering from blood poison.

I have been a practical druggist in Tyler for
a number of years, and in that time have had
occasion to examine, try, and notice the effect
of nearly alithe highly recommended prepar

i I have suffered untold misery myself, the past
number of years, from a severe form of in
flammatory rheumatism, and could find
nothing to cure or relieve me. I bad almost
drawn a conclusion that all patent medicines
were more or less frauds until about one year
ago, I was induced by a friend now living in
Tyler to try a preparation known as 3 B., or
Botanic Biood Balm, and after a long per
suasion on his part, I finally made up my
mind to make one more effort to rid myself
of the terrible affliction; and now it affords

A lady friend of mine has for several years I would
been troubled with bumps and r imples onlier
face and neck, for which she used various
cosmetics in order to remove theffi and beau
tify and improve her complexion; but these
local applications were only temporary and/
left her skin in a worse condition. •
I recommended an internal application-
known as Botanic Blood Balm—which I have
been using and selling about two years; she
uset 1 three bottles and nearly all pimples
have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth
and her aeueral health much improved. She
expresses herself as well satisfied and can
recommend it to all who are thus affected.

COULD HEAR A TICK CRAWL.
Mr. C. E. Hall wrote from Shelby, Ala.,
February 9. 1887: “I could not hear it thun
der. I heard of B. B. B.. used two bottles, and
now can hear a tick crawl in the leaves.”
Alapaha. Ga., June 22, 1887.—B. B. B.
Company, Atlanta, Ga.—Gentlemen : I had
suffered from that terrible disease, dyspepsia
for over fifteen years, and during that
time tried everything I could hear of, and
spent over three hundred dollars in doctor’s
bills, without receiving the slightest benefit,
Indeed. I continued to grow worse. Finally,
after I despaired of obtaining relief, a friend
recommended B. B. B., (Botanic Blood Balm)
and I began using it; not, however, expecting
to be benefited. Alter using half a bottle I
was satisfied I was-being benefited, and when
tlie sixth bottle was used I felt like a new
roan. I would not take $1,000 for the good it
has done me; in fact, the relief that 1 derived
from it is priceless. I firmly believe I would
have died had I not taken it.
Respectfully, THOMAS PAULK.
