From the Wt?&mE^erp^te'wut^ottniaAneer. REMINISCENCES OF PUBLIC MEN. BY EX-GOVERNOR PERRY. FRANKXIJf J. M?SES. The late Chief Justice Moses and my? self were admitted to the Bar in Equity! at the saine time. | He had' been admit? ted to practice in the Court of Law twelve months before. . I .was admitted in both courts ntthe same time. I met him soon afterwards in a Union Convention in Columbia. He was then a Union mau^ "but one night made a speech which dis? pleased hnr- Union-- friends very-?much; Gov. Manning, the father of the-predggt ex-Gov. Manning, was a member of this Union Convention from the same district of Sumter, had a conversation with Moses after the convention adjourned, 7 and reproved him ?forJhis speech. - The next morning M?ses came iuto-itfie con? vention, made an explanation, and was' received back,, into full .fellowship, .as a Union man.. v, j,.jiaye. frequently thought since that this speech characterized* the man in after life. He was wanting in ? boldness and decision of character, and afraid to take any step for' fear1 of the consequences. r a ' Chief Justice MoseS rose* very* rapidly' ? at the.Bar, and sqpn.h.asL a_.gflmraandipg. . nractice,He. was. ^ne^ ofithe, most in? dustrious^ au&: Qndef^ -lawyeis I ever knew. He had a great tact, too, in getting business, and had one side or the other of almost every case at his court. No one Overcharged him with a want of . zeal or ability in the prosecution or de i fence of his cases. He was well read in his profession. Whilst I was Provisional Governor; Moses applied for the office of District Judge Of the United States for South Carolina, and I endorsed his appli? cation in very strong t-erms, for learning, i ability and industry. But before nil ap? plication was acted" Oh by the President | he'was ejected one of the circuit judges of the State. He had been an applicant ?for the ofSccrof district judge under the . Confederate "government," and .'the ap Sointment was given to myself, by Presi ent , Davis, on the recommendation of j my friends in the Xegi^k^uxe. Whilst quite a yoiwg man/ Chief Jus? tice Moses was ? elected to the State Sen? ate; and continued to be re-elected for 15 or 16 years in succession. " He was very stropg man in the Senate, and spoke well and often. He seldom let any ques? tion nass without expressing his views on it. I served with him four years in the r State ? Senate, i I! remember>:consulting him, once, about some matter which was comius-vup' in the Senate'; and ' he ex? pressed^ :himself decidly with me. But) 1 the next day he voted against', the meas? ure I advocated, and I said to him he had deceived me once,- but would'never have an opportunity of doing so again. He had great tact in finding out the pop? ular breeze. and\ would never let it blow in his face long. He made a great mis? take, however, when he permitted his son to have him elected Chief Justice by the Radical party. His son was, at thatj time, Speaker of the House of Represen? tatives, and all powerful with the mem? bers. Judge Moses was confident, that J the .whole'State would be Radical inj a very short time, that there would be a general vtumble-over ofnthe Democracy, and a race for office under the now re? gime. ''He-thought that he was only get-1 ting ahead of his 'Democratic associates^ W^en he:sa.w;himself deserted by all the" decent people of the State, and some of his own kindred, he wept like a child, asr . I have been informed. I never spoke to him after he went on the Radical Bench! as Chief Justice. I was present in the Supreme ^Court when he first took his seat there. ! He called to see me at Mr. Janney's residence, after his hopeful son had joined the Radical party, and spoke of 2 his course*with regret. ' He-'^said, how * ever, jthat his son had peculiar /views of his .own in reference to the matter. I thought he intimated that his son went over for the purpose of controlling the ?arty in the true interests of the State, 'his was theory of every corrupt scoun? drel who deserted his colors and turned traitor to his State and principles. They were all for the good of their country! Like the Dutch mistress of George the. First of Great1 Britain. I have no doubt that Chief Justice Moses' death -was occasioned by his dis? tress'of mind. " He' was!agonized between doing his duty and crushing the party, which had honored him. He was natu? rally kind-hearted, and wanting in firm? ness. He loved office, andyet.ne wished to have the respect of gentlemen, have no doubt he cordially detested, in his heart, the corrupt and vulgar scoun? drels who surrounded'him, and had be? come his associates.. He had been de? nounced and put in conyentiy by the, Demqciate^md was. th^bemj* scorned and hated By the Radicals! " Judge Moses made a very able and fan circuit judge. He despatched the busi -.ne^s .of. the. court promptly And with great impartiality. I never heard any com Slaint of him on the circuit bench. Nor 0' I know of any impropriety in his j opinions on the supreme bench. He had sense;enough To know that he-.could only acqufre'reputation, as a judge. By fairness and impartiality, and'he lovea reputation dearly. He was not made.of that.stuff which defied public opinion in doing a base act. Boldness ana insensibility are -necessary for that;-purpose, and -he did ,\doj [possess.? either ?f ith-iSa? qualities. Sensibility was his virtue, and tue want of courage his misfortune. They have kept many a man from being a villain. Chief-.Justice. Moses was,..a social and' cordial companion, and. a man of great] hospitality. He lived in handsome style, and liked^to entertain his friends. I . wnce Visited|iim wftb a party- of friends, and spenFa"day or two with him and his family by invitation. We: were treated with great kindness by him and his lady, who was a meihlber Of the Presbyterian Church, and a cousin of CSanc?llor'r^ob . Johnston. The Jewsh?ve a' foridneiss for I silver all over , the world, and.the.Chief Justice had this national trait in a very great degree. I dp not know that l ever saw more silver -in- a private gentleman's residence ^Bjj^sft^.jff the Chief Jus-1 tice?s, "who was "then, however, only a Senatordud a lawyer. ; ' ''^he^ydice of Judge Moses iu deb?te was remarftabik. I never heard any thing to equal it in discord'and harshness, ex? cept- the sound of the Chinese gong. When excited in argument or discussion he pitched his voice. jjpry high, and seemed to*i^ between^a seaream and a howTl But notwithstanding the un? pleasantness of his voice, his argument was always forcible and logical. He was a strong mafi both at the Bar and in the Senate, and also before the/people. He ?jvas^. 'towards' the close of his legislative career, elected President of the Senate, which had been-his ambition for many years. He started out in life a Union man, but when he saw the State ready for secession he becane very warm on that side, and wished, to run against Gov. Allsten for President of the Senate on the ground that Allston was not strong enough in the interest of the secession movement. When the civil war broke out he went to Virginia and got a place on Gen. Wise's staff. After the1 war was over- he was in favor of accepting all the exactions' of the Federal Government. Governor James Barbor, of Virginia, used to say that his brother Phil, could scent a popular breeze sooner than any ; man in the State. I have heard gentle* men in Columbia frequently say that ?they. could always tell by Senator Moses' course whether a movement was popular or not. I have said the Chief Justice was kind hearted, and I think this virtue will be conceded to him by all who knew him. , I remember his giving me a graphic de? scription of the misery and want of a parcel of Federal prisoners whom he saw pn th? ^railroad ?toQt-.the\close of the 'war. jGais/sympatoy/ wal deeplylxcited bj those poor creatures. And it is a [Ira^damnOig fl&tJbawant and St an ton that they refused to exchange prisoners wi?Ljk^ Confederate' pp verhmen t/jrhen they Ikniw. perfectly; Well the, watched condition of their poor, captured &?ldlers, .?and: the utter inability ?S tht?Gonfederjate authorities to relieve their watafe of raed ; icipe, clothing and provisions.

"Tt| is well -Iniowavrthat; Judge*Willard was for dj^ding't^e-caseat once, and the Chief Justice'for postponing that decision. ?

Indeed, the sweep is little else than the old, old-fashioned buzzard wing, or shovel and heol sweep. When we sow our grain, we toss it from the hand. When we plant corn, we drop it from the fingers. When we harvest, we use the cradle. When we break up land or cultivate the crop, we use the single-horse plough,,going across the field back and forth, three times as pflen as we should.; And seldom, if ever,, do we use implements that are decidedly labor-saving. Why is this ? Are we anti-progressive ? Is land too cheap to warrant such invest? ments? Is our labor incapable of being skilled to the u6e:'of'such 'implements? Or are we too p'dor to make' the invest? ments necessary? ,.Not one, but we im fajjine'all of'these combined reasons have 'tfleir influence tipoh'us.''

The hard-wo/jkfngi fracticalHarrders in whom we have confidence don't use the latest'bnproveme?te/aud.this shakes':our' faith in .them as an economy. Those who.^?^hlie^tffelfii-fr?ni some "cause or other do so somewhat spasmodically, and this gives u?>h6-encouragement. We have Lor4eai rwith the negro, and upon him depends our''supplyof labor. And .he is averse tq- progress... fnxproved ira*. Lplemeius have to be bought, and" this re? quires the cash, which we seldom have. And so it goes, that we cling to, our old implements, and are yearly falling be? hind th'?se who*.are more progressive. 'There'are many tilings to be done, however, beside buying the.implements upon bur farms before we catvsuccessfully use them. The land must" be prepared for them. AU roots, ?tompft logs, rocks^ and hundreds ' Of little nobstrnctlohs; which only, show themselves when the imprfoe'd'implfeinent 'is' tcsied.'haVe "to'be' removed; and then some time-is requiried^ to acquire the skill to adjust and use them. \ qy gfnsj "7-! ?: In 1887 we purchased a Stafford culti? vator, (an awkvvs^and.not^^c^rmniical implement, but then the bestlh use,) and during ?.he first-.day's use we needed an extra hand along to caution us when we .were ploughing up the crop. The imple? ment was known as a buggy plough, was drawn by two horses, and ran four good, shovel iurrows, but the work it did was behind the door. Inst<;;td of-beiug.encouraged in,the use, of such ah' implement,.it. was the.laughA ing stock, tof the neighborhood. One. thbugbt w'e'shonld'now nave an umbrel-' ?la^ an<DiherSuggested a jttg between our ifeBt &U<0? either with whiskey 'or water, or both. The negroes had objections to it, and could not be induced to use it. One thought he'd go to sleep in it ; an atKjtheJ'-^new/he'd break it, and it would cost.hur...his year's wages, &c. But we persevered, and alone did the ploughing with it that year of thirty-five acres of sorghum an]fr;fiVe? acres "bf cotton, .and* seldom ploughed over half of any one day. ?/? We:subsequently purchased a "Chal? lenge" cultivator, which was either .at riding or-walking cultivator, and found it a great' improvement upon the other! Unable to induce negroes to use it, we sold ife-i.?> an energetic young farm er,, who cultivated, a full cotton and cprn crop with1" ft for several years, doing easily all the ploughing for a crop that required three good hoe hands. We t'.re satisfied that-'any;of the im? proved cultivators of the present day will perform more and better work, where the 4aTld1rprepffred"'for it", with'Two go?oT mules and one driver, than .can be done -wjthr th'. ee mules and three drivers, each to ?tfslugle old-fashioned- plough.

T^el mo??er. was more simple and was used by them. In heavy grain, where the land was thoroughly prepared, (and by that means made as smooth as a floor,) a';driver and two horses will keep five binders very busy, "fend save one-fifth more grain than cradles can. But in. fhin, "or ordinary grain, the cradle is the best;.. Almost every farmer has his cotton planter, and he knows how. labor-saying, it is, even though "he pays, as he almost always does, twice as much for it as it is worth.' Before they were introduced, it was the usual practice to .thresh in live or six bushels ofrreea to the '?cre, by hand, into .the previously, opened furrow, and then wony* with ?tbe l?tfoVof- chopping out the cotton fo.a stared, Now we can. if the bV.i.dsfresh andithe laud well pre? pared, open'tne^-farrow,'drill in One to two bushels of seed, and cover them, all at the sai;j6 operation. Not so, however, with corn. Wo still drop the i eed by hand, oftener than oth? erwise, dropping twice as many seed as necessar , and at irregular distances, and hence there is not only an irregular stand, but an irregular growth and yield, some stands where less crowded growing; larger and bearing more abundantly than others. ^Wji haV^e/seen on the prairies of the; North west a man driving a pair of horses wUha small boy Bitting in front of the driver on, the implemept ..which ran?ffitt&cTwheels - whiffh ^v.e?e:j5&cceded nytwo pToughsTancf ?s Vne boy moved a lever, first to the right-, and then to the left, two grain! ,oFc?wi were "dropped from a hopper lnfo'the two newly^made furruws, and as the horse moved forward the corn was covered by rollers.

MECKLENBURG. .FENCEp ;-In.?Not? withstanding the fact thfltr4he^-stock lair of Mecklenburg county was only passed a few week's'ago, the county has been eq tire'y fenced in. The farmers took hold of .it immediately, .and the work, eorai plcted on Saturday. A meeting of the Board of County Commissioners is called to-day for the purpose of appointing a committee of two free-holders and. one magistrate- to-duake- an-inspection of? th c whole line of fence and report to the Board. It has been discovered, however, since"tirs;me?tiifg"iwas; called, "that it is not tbd duty of the. Board 'to "appoint the committee. Acting upon this construc? tion of the law, it is supposed that the Commissioners will meet to-day only to adjo?rn to some -day during the latter 'parti'of this week or the first of next, when the inspection shall have been made in .-the manner .required by the law1, wh'etf'they will appoint! the persons in each township whose duty it shall be to see that the law is enforced, and will for? bid stock running.al-lafgev??|$*' WeTunderstanc? that t"vo-niembers of the executive cbraihittee.appointed at the farmer's meeting, arid " one^magistrate, will start outrpn a tour}df.inspection to? day., The axact length. ~?r^Be":fence is not yet known'; but it is'presurried that the committee willr not complete their work until the last of this.wepk, ?' The gentlemen who-have namhis mat? ter in charge deserve the thap^rs of the farmers for the energy and zeal they have displayed in securing the construction of the fence at so early a day.? Charlotte Observer. The Season for Pruning. : :"The following 'seasonable article j ia"\ :from our valuable contemporary, the1 '"Country Gentlemen: It is now admitted by all .who'have' 'given attention to the subject, and it vf m accordance with both theory and prac? tice, that to favor a free growth of the shoots and leaves, pruning should bfepfffjj formed .while trees are dormant or leaf? less. On the other hand, to .check jgrowth, and to promote fruitfulness, the pruning should be done on the trees in leaf and growing. We'know of no culti? vators who dissent'from these truths. It' is commonly admitted, also, that summer pruning; favors a more speedy healing of the wounds.?? . . Each sqasqn, .therefore, has its peculiar advantages. Unless the. trees have super? abundant .vigor,, the pruning should not;1 be done after.the buds begin to..swell..' .'Winter' may be better, than early spring for harcly trees, by allowing the fr.eshly cut faces to dry, and close the sap pores before the commencement of growth; but, .as cutting away branches always makes trees more susceptible to the effects of cold, the work should not be- per? formed much before spring.on half-tender trees. . Pruned at this season of the year, they .'are'not checked in growth, as when the work is done in summer, when the tree must lose ? portion of its leaves, 'and become thus suddenly checked in the performance of its functions. Pruning in summer, or while the trees are in leaf and growing, may be practiced if they are in vigorous condition, and but a small portion is cut away at a time. There can be no harm at any season in removing a single misplaced shoot. A. better way is to rub off needless shoots as -they are starting, or to pinch off the ends to prevent extending, as this is not'at itended with a large loss of leaves. If trees: grow too fast to bear, a general" pinching over the head, or a summer thinning of the shoots of the whole tree, will tend to induce fruitfulness the sec? ond year. As we have already stated^ summer pruning usually favors the more speedy healing of the wounds where limbs of. much size are cut off. But experiments do not prove that pruning at this sekson is always best for the tree. James Bed path, of Iowa, cut off a branch from an apple tree' in (every month of the year, and at the end of five years, when all had healed over, the wood was found least de? cayed}, on cutting tree, in those prurfed in February and March, and most in those cut in June and July?the latter having healed entirely over one year the :soo?cst. Ih another similar ex? periment; all Were healed over in four years, with a similar result. The decay from the summer pruning was about three times as great as in winter. In this connection we offer a practical hint for the mechanical removal of limbs which require the use of the saw. To prevent splitting the bark on the lower side as the limb falls, first make a small cut beneath and opposite to the main cut made by the saw above; or if they. do not quite coincide, let the lower-one be slightly nearest the tree. This mode will not only leave a smoother face, but will save time and trouble to the operator, who must otherwise hold the branch with one of his hands, or by an assistant. The sa\y jug. off of the stumps above mentioned is . rapidly and easily done without any such care. ,fSfex of Eggs.?A correspondent of the Southern Farmer tells how an old poultry raiser distinguishes sex in eggs. It is related as: follows: "'Eggs with the air bladder on the sides will produce pullets.' The old man was so certain of the;troth, of his dogma, and the poultry yard-so far confirmed it, that I determined to make experiments upon it this year. I hav?v done so, carefully registering every 'blad? der verfiele' or bladder on one side, re? jecting every one in which it was not decidedly oneway or the other, as in some it was only slightly out of the centre. The following is the result; 58 chickens hatched; 3 are dead; 11 too young: yet to decide upon their sex; of the remaining 44 every one has turned out true to the old man's theory. I tried it myself and found it to be correct, apd' I think it.lo be of great practical advan? tage, I am pleased to give it my full endorsement."
