Sty gcrald and giccrttyr. *ewnan, Ga., Friday, September 14,1888. 4. GROUP OF ECCENTRICITIES. in Their Oddities of Some Great Men Work and Play. Gentleman's Magazine. The shepherd said to De Lance that iie was as happy as a king, and that ? sis idea of heaven was to live in a large -lain with large flocks to watch. Phillip >f Macedon counted a horse-race won it Olympia among Ms three greatest idicities; with some men, nowadays, it is their only one. The late Lord Derby, it is said, would rather have won “the blue ribbon of the turf than worn that of the garter.” To Fonte- it'lle the secret of happiness was sum med up in keeping the heart cold and -be stomach warm. *_De gustibus non tst tEsputandum. Oowper, as everybody knows, bright ened his obscure life for many years bv studying the character of his three pet He had ball striking the ground close beside him convinced him of the desirability of seeking a safer resting place. Some eminent men have been distin guished by their passion and special aptitude for laborious work. Boyle studied : for fourteen hours daily until he was iforty years of age. Hume wrote thirteen hours a day while composing his “History of England.” Sir Mat thew Hale studied for many years at the rate of sixteen hours a day:, but all great lawyers have been great workers. As for the -scientists, look at Charles Darwin, at Tyndall, at Richard Owen, at Huxley. Marshall Hall, whose dis coveries and researches in connection with the nervous system smoothed the way for later physiologists, devoted, in the course of his life to this one subject, no fewer (it has been calculated,.' than 25,000 hours. For forty years of his life the great naturalist, Buff on. wrote at his desk from 0 until 2 o’clock, and again in five evening from 5 until 9 o’clock. Tic riling to the lords of art, we find Titian spending seven years upon his great picture of “The Lord’s hares, Puss, Tiny and Bess, xie -uu j- „ an4 eight, upon that of “Ple- uiite a catholicity of affection, how- , ^ Matire -» Michae i Angelo was an “ver, for dumb animals, and at 0 " e \ indefatigable worker. After passing • ime Ins stock of household pets includ-; thg ter art 0 f the day in his studio • d, besides the hares, live rah Jits, 'vo, ^ woul(1 often rise at night to resume guinea-pigs, many pigeons, a magpie, a j labors> fj^g a candle at the top of jay and a starling, two gold-fishes, two ■anary birds, two dogs and a squirrel. James I. had a miscellaneous taste f ( ,r pet animals—Virginian squirrels, a ■ream-colored fawn, the splendid white ,yrfalcon of Ireland, an elephant, five camels, and, of course, dogs of every kind. Saint Eveemond, the wit, and Claude de Crebillon, tlie poet, were constantly surrounded by cats .and dogs which, under the firm supervision of ; heir master, lived together on terms of unity. Ladislas, king of Poland, was greatly igitated at the sigiit of apples. Eras mus could not smell fish without suf- r.ering from a feverish attack. Scaliger trembled in every limb if water-cresses were placed before him. The astron omer, Tycho Brahe, was similarly af fected at meeting a hare or a fox. The sage-browed Verulam fell into a faint ing tit at an eclipse of the moon. Boyle went into convulsions on hearing the sound which water makes on issuing from a tap or valve. La Mothe le Vayer, ; he French philosophical writer, pre ceptor to Louis XIV., could not endure rhe sound of any musical instrument. Favoriti, the Italian poet, sickened at t he smell of the rose. . Suetonius informs us that the Roman emperor, Otho, was almost as particu lar as a woman about his toilet ; that he applied a depilatory process to the whole of his body and wore on his head, which was nearly bald, false hair, fixed tnd arranged so artistically that no one could detect the imposition. He shav- ..;d daily with the utmost exactness, iad rubbed his face all over with soak ed bread—a habit which he had con tracted from the age of puberty in or- ler to prevent the growth of a beard. Very little food, either animal or veg etable, did Spinosa allow himself, since ae restricted the cost of his living to 5 ■ *r G sous a day, oh which even a Scotch student would find it difficult to sup port human nature. Yet he was sur passed by Buttner, a German natural- -*t of the eighteenth century, who liv- d upon one meal a day, at a cost of '.tree sous. The astronomer Lalande professed to relish spiders and cater pillars, and always carried a supply of hese dainties around with him in a bon jon box. The amusements of great men seem to indicate the direction of their tastes. ,'ardinal Richelieu found in violent ex ercise a relief from the severe mental -oncentration in which most of his life was passed. He was once discovered \amping with his servant, to see who ■quid reach a high mark on the wall. With ingenious flattery De Gramvnont entered the lists against him, but took rare, after some efforts which nearly cached the mark, to allow the cardi nal to beat him. Henry VI. amused his leisure with the company of child ren, and Sully describes a charming in cident—how he found his sovereign astride of a stick, playing at “horses” with two or three happy juveniles. The learned Samuel Clarke sought recrea tion in violent gymnastics, jumping over tables and chairs. Once a pedan tic precisian approaching, “Xow we must desist,” said he,*“for a fool .is coming in.” Turner was an early riser and for several hours worked assiduously, after which he would amuse himself freely. He was greatly partial to fishing. He seldom paid a country visit without be ing accompanied by his rod, and he carried into his pursuit the indomitable perseverance which he brought to bear on his artistic work. No inclemency of ■weather daunted, no churlishness of fortune wearied him. An eye-witness relates how he used to sit on the lawn of a friend’s house, fishing in a pond for carp. On wet days he would sit in a kitchen chair, with a piece of board un der his feet and a large umbrella over Vis head. And the wind blew and the rain descended, but silent and immov- ible there he sat until the dinner bell rang. Harvey, who discovered the twofold •irculation of tlie blood, was a great eader. At the battle of Edgehill, in 142, Prince Charles and the Duke of fork were put under his charge, and vhile the air rung lyith the clash and lin of the figfct, he retired with the two oung princes under a hedge ; took a volume from his pocket and became bsorbed in its perusal, .until a cannon bis pasteboard cap, like a miner, to supply the light that guided his marvel ous chisel. Haydn, Gluck, Spohr, Bee thoven, Mendelssohn enjoyed work as other men enjoy play. But, in truth, continuous energetic labor is impera tive upon tlie musician who would rise to fame and command a comprehensive knowledge of liis glorious art. Glar- dini was wbnt to say that if a man would learn to play the violin he must practice twelve hours a day for twenty years. And the wonderful mastery of Paginina was gained and maintained only by assiduous efforts which help to wear out both mind and body. The first studies which he composed were of such excessive difficulty that he would repeat a single passage for ten hours running. In short, what other habits great men have formed, whatever the tastes displayed, they have always formed the habit of, and displayed a strong taste for, work. And in so far as they have fallen off from this habit, so far have they fallen from the true and full development of their genius. What He Used to Do. The Idea. In common with lots of other fools I used to spent two months and about §500 at the beach every season. I owned a house at Oyster Cove, call ed with considerable poetic license Sea- view cottage. I’ll admit, in the absence of Mrs. Gilding, that it wasn’t a cot tage, and frankly acknowledge that it didn’t rise to the dignity of a dog ken nel. I went down there about July 1 with my wife and family, after telling my neighbors that my nervous system was busted. They knew that I was lying, but with Mrs. Gilding orders were or ders. I had as much comfort at Oyster Cove as a lost soul simmering in sheol, hut I endured it to avoid overworking Mrs. Gilding’s tongue. Mrs. Gilding is a remarkable woman. She shines for all but me. She is gifted with ambition and tongue, while I suf fer from both. Seaview cottage is a disreputable looking dry goods box structure stuck up on a sand heap and separated from the Aligator hotel by a heap of tomato cans and an open sewer, We had a piazza tagged on to the cot tage, upon which we found recrea tion unbaking ourselves in the evening and listening to the interchange of pro fanity between the Italian dishwasher and the deputy spittoon juggler of the hotel. Occasionally we invited our friends to visit us, but we were careful to ask only those who could not by any means come. If any lunatic had visited us,,I really don’t know where he would have slept, unless he were a hardy campaign er and could take “pot luck” in the garden, as we technically termed the tomato can heap between us and the hotel. My neighbor, Brown, is a loud- voiced, vulgar, courageous man whom I admire. He sits on his piazza in his shirt sleeves, smoking his pipe, and yells across lots at me. Mrs. Gilding says he is a low-born brute, while Mrs. Brown, who is not boss, says he’s an an gel. I asked Brown to come and see us, and sure enough in the middle of July he and his wife turned up. We walked on the beach while our wives sat on the porch lying to each other. When Brown and I sat down on the rocks looking out to sea, he took my hand and said to me, solemnly, “Gild ing, you’re a blarsted idiot. You leave a good, cool, comfortable house, a clean bed and decent grub, to come down here to live in alien house and roa^t your liver out. Instead of staying at home and cooling off in your cellar, you let that hard-cider-tongued wife of yours yank you around like a fool. Take my advice and sell that chicken-coop to a bigger idiot than yourself, if you can find one!” That night I had a pint of Maine whisky and a seance with Mrs. Gilding, and the next day we came back to Sapville. I struck a fellow whose wife had swelled head and “sassiety” on the brain, and sold him Seaview cottage. I am now a free-agent; I sit in my shirt beeves and smoke with Brown; I go to the beach no more, and I am boss of the ranch. < Sharpsburg. Mr. Editor:—The recent rains will help the late corn, cotton, potatoes and turnips very much. Your correspondent has recently traveled over Coweta, Meriwether. Troup and Harris counties, visiting the best farming sections and conversing with many of the most prominent farm ers about the crops. The almost unan imous epinioft is that there will be over an average crop this year: and I think the fine fields of corn that I have seen already made, and the excellent fields rtf cotton and other crops, will justify this decision. The cotton seems to be at least a week later this year than last. The labors of the faithful farmers seem to have been greatly re warded. I think we have good reason to lie thankful to the Divine Giver for such an abundant harvest. We are glad to note that Mr. Freder ick C. North, and Mrs. Angelina Lump kin, whom we reported as being sick last week, are well. Mrs. Polly North has been sick for several days. Dr. Daniel H. Brown has been con fined to his teed for several days. The young men of the community have organized a young men’s prayer meeting and will meet every Wednsday j night. May it be profitable to those who attend and a blessing to the com munity. Rev. V. A. Ham did not fill his ap pointment at Bethel last Saturday and Sunday, on account of the incessant rain both days. It is quite a treat to the Prof, to rest two days, as he has not a day idle. He is a very close Biblical student, and a hard-working clergyman and teacher. Prof. J. R. Bohannon, of Paris, spent last Sabbath with his parents here. He says he has forty-three pupil# and is progressing nicely. Success to Bob. Mr. Mark North gave his neighbors a nice barbecue last Friday. He had an abundance of meat, very nicely cooked, and plenty of light bread. Among other good eatables he had a nice fat o’ possum, well barbecued and garnish ed with sweet potatoes. Miss Kate Bailey, of Kedron, has been spending some time in our village, the suest of Misses Foxie North and Everett Benton, Tlie musical entertainment given by Mesdames Pitman .and Lumpkin last Friday night was very much enjoyed by all who attended. Mr. “Dock” Johnson has been very unwell for several days. He is able to walk out on the streets to-day with the aid of a stick. Mr. H. H. Harrison is having his house improved by putting a verandah to it, and making other improvements which add much to the comfort as well as the appearance of the place. Dr. R. W. North, “Dub” Bridges, R. A. North, Sr., and Henry A. North went toNewnan yesterday on business. Mr. J. J. Farmer is having his house repaired, which, when completed, will be equal to a new one. The change of schedule on the Sa vannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad from 12 m. to 2:30 p.m., is a very great convenience to our clever depot agent and accommodating post mistress. Mr. Grin Bailey, of Kedron, spent last Sunday in our village. Prof. A. S. Jones has secured a cor net, and will join the band, we pre sume. We notice that there is a great rush to the postoffice every Saturday when the mail arrives, and the first thing called for is The Herald and Ad vertiser. The great Constitution, even, is forgotten until The Herald and Advertiser is read. We all cer tainly appreciate your newsy and in structive columns. B. C. Sept. 4th. Log Cabins are fast going going out of style as fash ionable residences. Log Cabins, however, have a place in American history, as they were the most prominent feature of our country’s early social life. The pioneers were strong, rugged, healthy. Warner’s Log Cabin Cough and Consumption Remedy is a repro duction of one of the best of the old time roots and herbs remedies, which kept them well. Everybody praises “Tippecanoe” as a stomach tonic. The Hebrews of Brunswick have had a split and are now worshipping in two separate congregations. Dyspepsia, Despair, Death. These are the actual steps which fol low indigestion. Acker’s English Dys pepsia Tablets will both check and cure this most fearful of diseases. Guar anteed by W. P. Broom, Newnan, Ga.

Any mother who keeps house without a bot tle of Acker’s English Baby Soother at hand, runs a risk which she may some time regret. It has saved the lives of thousands of children, Jnd is doing so every year. Sold by W. P. Broom, Newnan, Ga., A WORD IN SEASON. IMPURE BLOOD. A Case *in Florida Cured by B. B. B. .

My little son, 14 years of age, suffered from an acute 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 I got the second bott le, which is now being us- ed, and my son is nearly well, and 1 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. Chas. H. Titus, R. R. Agt. Boughton, Ark. Send for our Book of Wonders, free to all. Address, BLOOD BALM COMPANY, Atlanta, Ga. THE WORLD CHALLENGED. To produce anything like an approach to our now justly celebrated Blood Remedy, B. B. B., we make bold to claim the iollowino-special points of value and advantage over any other remedy on the market: 1. That it consists of the most valuable remedies known to the medical profession. 2. That the combination of the remedies lias never been equaled in any medicine that has ever been known. 3. Its beneficial results can he felt sooner than by the use of any other remedy. 4. It takes less quantity and less money to produce a cure than any other remedy. We are will in <r for B B B to stand on its own merits, and as our words are unnecessary in proving its efficiency as a blood remedy we simplv invite a careful perusal of the following voluntary certificates from the thousands who have tried it. Thev are eloquent tributes, and speak for themselves. To the skeptical, we would further say : Inquire of your neighbor who has tried our great remedy. Here fire the certificates : A REMARKABLE LETTER. Down Two Years With Rheumatism and Now Entirely Well. I have been troubled with rheumatism fqr two years; had gotten so I could scarcely walk, and was in pain nearly all the time. At nirijt could not sleep for the excruciating pain. The bone in one of my legs was very much enlarged, and I feared that amputation would be necessary. After trying many dii- 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 muon relieved, and I firmly believe I will get entirely well. The swelling has 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 1 feel grateful for what has 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, Ot Chatta nooga; Mr. Hamilton, foreman of carpentry, with W. L. & Co., Chattanooga; Dr. Acre, of Chattanooga; Mr. Phil Hartinan, shipping clerk for W. L. Co.; F. B. Cheek, Chatta nooga ; Mrs. Cooper, Chattanooga, and one hundred others in factory and in city. SHE HAD TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE. Clover Bottom, Sullivan County Tenn., June 20,18S7.—Blood Balm Co. Atlanta, Ua.— Sir: I have been thinking of writing to you for sorr. e time to let you know of the wonder ful cure your B. B. B. has effected on myself and dufigliter. 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 ol my leg and one bottle cured it, after trying ail 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 threeor four blood purifiers, but the B.B.B. is tlie only one that ever did me or mine any good. You can use my name if you wish. I am well known in this and Washington county? also all over Virginia. R. S. Elsom. BLOOM TAINT FROM BIRTH. Booneville, Ind., January 27, 1887. I shall evbr praise tlie day that you gentle men were born, and shall h ess tlie 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 I 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 my name as you see fit. Iu mv case there were knots on my shinbones as large as a hen’s egg. Yours, Mihtle M. Tanner, A GOOD EXPERIMENT. Meridian, Miss., July 12, 1887. For a number ol years I have suffered un told agonies from the effects of blood poison. I had m.v case treated by several prominent physicians, and recivedbut little, if any relief. I resorted to all sorts of patent medicines, speiulinga large amount of money but getting no better. My attention was attracted by the cures said to have been effected by B. E. B., and I began taking it merely as a experiment, having but little faith in the ultimate results. To my utter surprise I soon commenced to improve, and deem mj'self 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. J. O. Gibson, Trainman M <& O R. R AFTER TWENTY YEARS. Baltimore, April 20,1887.—For over twen ty years I have been troubled with ulcerated bowels, and bleeding piles, and grew weak and thin from constant loss of blood. I have used four bottles of B B.

Dawson, Ga., June30,1887.—Being and old* man and suffering from general debility and* rheumatism of the joints of the shoulders, I found difficulty in attending to my business, that of a lawyer, until I bought and used five bottles of B.

CHEERY WORDS. jok the Citizens of Tyler and Smith County, as Uttered by John M. Adams, of the Firm of McCay & Adams, Druggists. I have been a practical druggist in Tyler for a number of years, and in that time occasion to examine, try, and notice the effect of nearly all the highly recommended prepar ations or patent medic nes on the market, as 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 had annost drawn a conclusion that all patent medicines were more or less frauds untili about one year ago, I was induced by a friend now living in Tvler to try a preparation known as o B., or Botanic Blood Balm, and after a long per suasion on his part, I fie ally made up my mind to make one more effort to rid niysell of the terrible affliction; and now it affords me the greatest pleasure of my life to state to the citizensof Smith county that lam entire ly cured. with no traces of the disease left, ■ind all effected by the magic healing proper ties of B B. B., which I consider the grand est purest, and most powerful blood remedy known to man. I have been subject to in flammatory attacks since ten years of age, and up to the present time liave had four. Thf* last spell came on me in ember, looo, over a year ago, at which ime I was confined tom v bed foreight weeks, passmg the nights , in misery, with no sleep except when produc ed by narcotics and various opiate... The 1 week previous to using B. B. B. up f° 1 time I had only eaten six meals and could ! scarcely sit up without support; but after ra in,, three bottles I was able to relisn my meals and to walk up town, and a iter six bot- I ties had been used, thank heaven, I was en tirely cured, and not the slightest pain telt : since that time. When I returned to business in February my weight was 145 pounds, but oradualiv increased until my regular weight was a^.-iiu attained, 210 pounds. The noticea ble fact in what I have so cheerfully stated is, Round Mountain, Tex., March 29,1887. A lady friend of mine has for several years been troubled with bumps and i imples on her 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 used three bottles and nearly all pimples have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth and her general health much improved. She expresses herself as well satisfied and can recommend it to all who are thus affected. Mrs. S. M. Wilson. TESTIMONIAL OF HON. THOS. PAULK, OF BERRIEN COUNTY.

I have had catarrh of the head for nearly six years. I went to a noted doctor and he treated me for it, bu*. could not cure me, he said. I was over fifty years of age and I gave up to die. I had a distressing cough ; my eves were swollen and I am confident I could not have lived without a change. I sent and got a bottle of yonr medicine, used it, and felt better. Then I got four more, and thank God! it cured me. Use this any way you may wish for the good of sufferers. Mrs. Matilda Nichols, 22 Florida Street. TRIED FIVE DOCTORS. For the blood use 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 the sixth bottle was used I felt like a new man. 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.
