REMIirsOENCES PUBLIC MEN. BY EX GOVERNOR B. F. PERRY. rn/iX^TTarrtrsvN * 1 |_uutninvui r ftl/m LABI VVKttK.J WILLIAM D. MARTIN. I first saw Judge Martin whilst ho was Clerk of the Senate in Columbia, but never Imd any acquaintance with him till after his election to Congress. lie was a man of tine personal appenrrnce, good address, and possessed great coiivei national powers. He was an eminent lawyer, and had a very high standing in Congress ll is said that he would have been elected Speaker of tbo House of Rep* pi escntatives if lie hud continued in Congress. He was the tpodel of a good Circuit Judge, and died whilst holding Court in Charles ton He went to bed in perfect health, and the next morning when his body-servant went into bis room, he found him dead. II is death was caused by appnplexy.? lie died during our greatest political excitement, and his opponente, manifested the hignest regard for, his character, and the deepest regiet at his death. I was at that time editing a Union paper, and received from Mr. Peiigrn, an obituary notice of him. lie spoke of him with the affection of a brother, and the admiration of a warm |igiouiiui inuuu, inotion iney were strongly opposed in politics. They ha<l practiced law together .many years in the same place, always employed on opposite sides, and never had a words difference or an unkind feeling. It one of^them was not ready in a ease, Ire bad onlv' to say ho to the other, and the case was continued without affidavits. Ilow very pleasant, honorable and hitrh toned gentlemen tnav make their practice, and how dis a recublo it may become between pettif'ogers. In court Judge Martin presided with great dignity and courteai* lie dispatched the business with great promptness, and ulways with' satisfaction to the bar. Whilst on the Circuit, he was very coiumn nicative to the lawyers and others, lie had a great deal to say about the proceedings of Congress and - i " - ? ine members1 ot that body. In speaking of the prominence of Governor Hamilton in the House ot Representatives, he said it was mainly owing to hjs great talent as a purlizau leader, and the .fortunate period at which ha. entered Congress?the organisation of the Jackson party, lie said Tazewell, of Virginia, w:.s tlier greatest talker In the world, and could talk as well on one side of a question as Ilia other. ?He-would talk, too, on any suhjeatg to-anygwi*} *'h? would iTstetrrh Itini i'of I mure.' *l1iiewell was very honest, hut so loud of disputation, tliatjt was ivoci&mtal w hich.sii.ft of a question he took in debate. His talents weie of the highest ofdgr.jt . , J *' Wtdieter'-Suia the Judge ".was scarcely treated witli civility by Mie Southern members. I never see lorn without being jemiuded of the leaders of this Fr- iieh\lievolulion, lie liiis the appearance of a Uobe8peaie or a Alorrot." 1 thought afterwai-yiHj when J saw Mr." Web&te , thai Judge Martin had dotie him great injustice. 11 is qouuteiiahte virus grave and heavy, hut h)' no ineaiis ferocious or disagreeable. llis ?oipp!exion was dark, liia eyes rarf large and deeply-sunk ii? ifas hekd.''tyiiis Buren" said "jhe Judge, always court fhg nis tme'fnw inid opponents. If any ana Was CO it*t to him in tl|e Henate, aiui fell lnm.tlnU a certain member of Congress did not like liitn, he would have that member by the arm as soon as the Senate adjourned.** ' When Judge Martin w)i* elected to the bench, tiieio wer 6 OV ' v P" al bullotiugs, and very clo?e ones lietween him ami Col. Thomas WiHiams; of*York District. The evening ttie tdeciion was made, Jttdgfc Maftiii nVrfvutd WColum bia with hie family, oh lils way to Wnshingfortj 1. H#. was then A member of Congress, ami Continued to serve out' that eessU af.en liia electioa to the ' tamulr.^ Tn? next > evening,' >L met i Itiift) at a large'party at Governor Millet's, ana some one congratnhued hint on his arrival in Columbia, just in time to receive bis judicial honors. He replied tli'at. he. had arrived ju&t &s he was whipped'through the polls. Judge Earle had been elected on the first ballot at the same time. There being two vacancies to be filled. Judge Martin was once conversing with me about Jndge Hngcr, and SRld he had heard the Judge say when be, Martin, was a very young man, that no one should eater public life without a fortune.? He said at that time he thought this was a great heresy of an old aristocrat, and it made his yonng ambitious blood a little Indignant in its poverty. But that lie had long been satisfied with the wisdom of the remark. If hlo life was to go over again he would act on it. In speaking of Mr. Petigru, the Judcre said that his voica mrd manner at the l>ar, and before a jury, were worth a great deal in the management of his cases. In the trial of a case at Walterborough, the Judge's title depended on an old deed, which -was properly executed, but a good deal mutilated. Petigrue took the deed, put hi6 finger through one of its holes, turned it around to the jury, and made such sport of it, that the Judge lost the case. I remember once in the Legislature, Mr. Petigrn kept the whole House In a burst of laughter for'several tn inn tea, by simply reading a Resolution to incorporate a J<?ckey CTnb. There was nothing peculiar in the language, and hnd the Resolution been rend by any one else, it would not at all have attracted the attention of the House. , Judge Mar tip died, in the prime of life. He was twice married.? His Inst wife was a young lady of Maryland, whom he met in Washington. Whilst holding c"urt at Greenville, he manifested great impatience to get through with the business and return home And said to ine, as an apology, for h'S impatience, that it was natural for an old man who had a young wife. ( > THOMAS 8. ORIMl'KE. Mr. Grimpke was a verj' extraordinary man. He had great learning and great talents. He was a most pious christian and pnre man in all the relations of life. In advocating his views and carrying out nis principles, he was as bold us a lion. IIo had too much honor ana honesty to succeed as a pol itician. thooch ho wiu? nnoo oloniort - ? ~ ? ^-%-w.^v. to the State Senate from the city of Charleston. In the Senate chamber, he distinguished himself as a debater, lie was the moet fluent speaker l ever heard. The words seemed to flow from hie lips Hke a gentle stream that was never to end He was an eminent lawyer, and surpassed by notie in the State tor his lull and exact knowledge of the law. He \vas a very small man, and not prepossessing in his appearance, Mr. Grinipke was the advocate of codifying the laws of South Carolina, anu made an argument, ot great ability on that subject in the Senate. His speech on the,Tariff question was replete with wisdom, learning and patriotism. I saw him, once, vote a minority of one in the Semite.? Governor Hamilton, afterwards, dhl the same thing, when he said, "minorities hntfno terrors tor him." Mr. Griinpke wrote a great many articles for the Southern Review; but they were dull and heavy, not* withstandiitir' tlioi^ Isflfniiiir ?nH ability. Although a profound law yer, surpassed bv none Tt> his remembrance'o) cusys, lie was not regarded,as a.very succesafid prac- , titiouer at the Rar. Judge Martin called liini a walking library, and said, whilst on the circuit, lie always applied to Griwipke lor his law, instead of Consulting the books. . Griuipke could refer him to i-a^e and page. In our Nullification excrement, Mr. Griuipke was a strong Union man, ami boldly tesi?red the new iijft?tlis?u! liariMU tuitli u I ti oi4 k/v'ftiiwMi ?.v v??t it nil (? i nun ability snrpaesed by no one. In a letter add reused to the State Con- j vention of South Carolina, he de clared that lie would sooner givo his right nriri to the President of thai body tor a c?(Jkatle, than raise it against the Union ot the States ! Whilst in the Senate, lie exh bited great firmiicg? in calling to fecconnt Governor Wilson' for his rietalcA..1.. :. ? .i . i i nun iu',1 i'i^ i no i or in in nib governondiifi.

I remember bearing Judge Hpger say, that although Grimpke would not fight a dnfel, he wonld stand on top of a house burning dow.i long i er than Wilson, if duty or man-' hood required it. He was a mo6t just ana exact man in all things. He was governed by principle and right in all the transactions of lite, great and small. Judge Mar , tin told me that tbey were once | travelling on the circuit, and stop| ped to take a lunch on the roadI side. A boy got for them two or three bundles of fodder for their horses. When tliey started, Grimpke gave the boy a quarter of a dollar, which was the least qhange he had, and threo times the value of the fodder. Judge Martin then discovered that lie had ten cents in It to i\< ?/ !? ? ? ! ?- ? ? ? ' -a. a - * 1 >>io pwixot, mill WW UUUUI in Ilirow it to the boy. "No," said Grirnp ke, "give it tome; I have paid three titue? as much as the fodder is worth already !" Judge Martin said if Grimpke had an execution against an old woman, be would inake the sheriff sell her out, although he might, ihe next day, f'ive the old woman as much as ler property was worth. Duty to his client was one thing, and charity was another. Thomas S. Grimpke was the son of Judge Grimpke, of South Caro lina, who wrote and compiled several valuable law books. No one ! would take Mr. Grimpke, from his appearance, for a great man. He was a fine Latin and Greek scholar, and had been thoroughly educated. But he wrote some articles in the Southorn Monthly to prove that young men wasted a great many years in acquiring a knowl edge of the classics, which was of no value to them in after life, lie was a great utilitarian in all his views of life. He had a peculiar, but very sensible, notion about spelling words as they were pronounced. It was jestingly/aid of hitn, that in spelling his christian name, Thomas, he would leave out the "h" as surplusage. He went to Cincinnati to deliver an address before some literary society, and there died of cholera. He was comparatively a young tnan at his death. Had he lived to a good old age, he would have been a prodigy of learning, for he never ceased acquiring knowledge on all subjects, and never forgot what ho had acquired. He was the great advocate of temperance and temperance societies, long before Chief Justice O'Neale commenced his crusade in the cause. Ho was the bold, uncoin[ promising advocate of religion, morality, virtue, and everything that made his fellow man happier and better. lie was, indeed, a philanthropist, a patriot and a christian, as well as a lawyer, a statesman and philosopher, in both 1 the ancient and modern sense of fhe words. He was an economist and utilitarian, of the Franklin school. [CONTINUED NEXT WEEK.] Would Your Loss bkFklt?? Live for -some purpose in the world.' Always act vop.r part well.

'1 Sixteen Reasons, A writer in en English journal gives the following plain and forcible reasons for abstinence from the use Of intoxicating liquors as a beverage. It is a view sanctioned by religion and common sense : 1. Because ale, porter, gin, rum, 1 brandy, etc., all contain a spirit 1 which is calculated to derange the human system. 2. Because none of these drinks, as an habitual beverage, are eter useful, but always injurious toper* sons in health, and many profess ing Christians, both young and old, have been ruined by them. 3. Because drunkenness is a bo sotting sin, and leads to idleness, quarrelling, swearing, fighting, stealing, adultery, murder, and al most every other sin, and finally to etertial misery. 4. Because drinking produces poverty, bankruptcy, destruction of pro])erty, loss of reason, disease, and premature death. 5. Because a great deal of val nable time, labor, and capital are worse than wasied upon making, vending and nsing the drinks. 6. Because over seventy millions of money, being more than the whole revenue, ore annually ox(>ended upon them in the United Kingdom, which ought to be laid out in food and manufactures. 7. Because nearly six millions of bnsliels of good grain are annually destroyed in this Christian 'land to make these liqnors, while the markets are high and many of the poor are starving. 8. Because intemperance obstructs the progress of civilization, education, the religion of Jeeus, and every useful reform. 9. Because abstinence is sure and safe, but drinking? moderately is danger ous, and has led to all the drunkenness in the world. 10. Because I find I cannot ef fecuiaWy warn the drunkard, or set hitn example unless I am myself an entire alietainer. 11. Because I like to join tbose who are exerti' g themselves to promote the temporal and spiritual reformation and huppiuessof man. 12. Because it is important to set a 6afe example of perfecting sobriety to our children, friends, and associates. 13. Because it is our Christian duty to deny ourselves oven of law tul tilings to promote the happiness ot Others. 14. Because, while millions in time and eternity have repented of drinking, not one has ever repelled of abstaining. 15. Because, while no blessing is pronounced upon drinking, God's approval is frequently recorded in tavor of abstinence. [See Jcr. xxxv ; Luke i, 15 ; Rom" xiv, 21; Prov. xx, 1.] 16. Because I should he ashamed to touch, taste, handle, or keep in my house, the article which is r* i i .i - nuing uie land with dissipation, vice, poverty, misery, lamentation and woe. The Accurate Boy. There was a young man once in the office of a Western railway superintendent. He occupied a position that tour hundred hoys of that city would have wished to get. It was honorable and " it paid well," besides being in the iitie of promotion. How did he ; get it I Not by having a rich f'^r he was the son of 'a In* j.n.u!*. The secret was his beauti >ui accuracy. He began as an er rand boy, and did bis work accurately. His (ensure Mine be used in perfecting his writing and arithmetic. Alter a while lie learned to tileg nph. At each step his employer commended his accuracy, and relied on what he did, because he v as just right. And it is thus with every occnpatioii. The accurato boy is the * . -d one. Those who employ ! . do not wish to be on the con is ?,.it lookout, as though they were rogues or fools. If a car pcnter must stand at Ins journeyman's elbow to !?e euro that his work is right, or if a cashier must run over hid book keeper's column, bo might a* well do the work himscit or employ another to do it in that way ; and it is very certain that the employer wilt get rid of such an inaccurate workman as soon as he can.

A celebrated writer says: All horses must not be fed in the same proportions, without regard to their ages, their constitutions, and their work, because the impropriety of such a practice Js self-evident. Yet it is constantly done, and is the basis of disease ot every kind. Never use bad hay on account of its cheapness, because there is not proper nourishment in it. Damaged corn is exceedingly injurious, because it brings on influmation of the bowels and skin diseases. - * > Chaff is better for old horses than hay, because they can chew and digest it better. ; _ .Mix chajl with corn or beans, and do not give tbo latter alone, because it tnake3 the horse chew hia food mot e, and digest it better. ! t/ Hay or grass alone will not support a horse nnder hard work, because there is not sufficient nutritive body in'either. " When a horse is worked bard its food should chiefly be oats; if not worked hard, its food should chiefly be hay, hecause oats supply more nourishtnedt and flesh making material than any other kinds of food ; haj not so mncb. For a saddle or coach horse, half o nA/ilr "-4- J * * ? i/?n vi ovunu tmis, ana eignteen pounds of good bay, are sufficient. If the bay is not good add a quarter ot a peck more oats. A horse which works harder may have rather more of each. One that works little should have less. Rich feeding is wasteful. The better plan is to feed with chopped hay from a manger, because the food is not then thrown about, and is more easily chewed and digested. Sprinkle tho hay with water that has salt dissolved in it, because it is pleasing to the animal's taste, and un?re easily- digested. A tea-spoonful ot e&li in a bucket of water is sufficient. Oats should be bruised for an old horse, but not for a young one, because tho former, through age and detective teeth, cannot chew them properly; the young hor6o can do so, and they are thus properly mixed with the saliva, and turned into wholesome nutriment. ? ??? Tobacco.?Are you making preparations to plant tobacco, the next season ? If not, it is time you wero about it. Within two or three weeks tho seed must be sown, and it is high time yon wero cleaning and putting in order your land. Several of our Buncombe and Madison farmers during the last year made from $50 to $100 per acre on their tobacco. Those who planted corn, wheat and oats to sell, did not get $10 per acre. Tobacco ot the last year's crop is worth from 6ix to twenty five cents per pound, in the ''hand."? MV a p w?n it r nan, linmilienflHg <X> Co., are purchasing and paying in goods. Mr. Shelton, we learn, has bought a considerable quantity and paid cash. Every farmer can plant from two to twenty live acres. Let no one, during the coming year, fail to plant some at least. It will put money in their pockets. . Good seed?the best kind, may be bad at this place. Any one sending us their order for seed, will be furnished tree of charge. [Asheville C.) Citizen.
