Xhe Cow Tea us a Pertilixor.
To The Editov?Tt has pecn a subject
of 'urprisu ?0 m? that our planters have
not foil6We'd the wise nnd economical
method adopted by the Louisiana plan
ters in the enrichment of their lands,
particularly when it em he doiVi horo at
one-fourth of tho expanse thai it co it
tho u" thore. t allu lo to th : fertilizing
<|Uality of the cow pc.i. It has beou trie 1
by some of our fanners near our oity
audit has been found better, far better,
than any other kind of manure that
could bo used. Its fertilizing powers
are adapted to cotton, com, and every
kind of vegetatitti. And then whoa j
you think of the case and economy of
its adaptation, with .ut tlnl anxioty and
(car of its provi ig djlcto.'i ?i< fr > n tho
too free use in it" application, (that at
tend other fertilizers) it is astonishing
that it has not been more tucl. There
is orte error the Louisiana planter labors
under, it is in thinking th.it th ; cfty
pea is better than any other kind, uud
on this account the price of them has
been very high. 1 have known eight
dollars a bushel given for the flay pea,
wheu tho black pea', which has boo'u
tried under the same supervision, has
proved to bo mere luxuriant nnd fertili
zing than the clay, and could be bought
for one dollar and fifty cents nt that very
timo. Now, when you think that it is
known that clay psai even at eight dol
Jars a bushol Were cheaper than any oth
er kind of manure, how great, then,
would bo tho economy to the planter in
using the black pea, which can always
be bought for so much less ? I hope
that planters will try, and I know they
will see tho advantage of this fertilizer,
and uso it more generally.

How Xiiele John Won His Dog
ftglit.
The Douisvillo Coyrier- Journal tells
a story of "Uncle Johu," a Teuncsseoan
who was ambitious to stand at head in
every departmecu of the sporting pro
fession, lie succeeded in everything
but one.
The Spartan inn,keeper had the king
dog of all his tribe?a lerocious "bull"
that chawed up and spit out everything
that came along. Uncle John put up
fifty dollars in specie on his own Tige;
but If'Tige had gone through a Ciuciua
ti sausage grinder he could scarcely have
looked more ragged than he did when
ho came out.
As went the Most, so went the second,
faster, till it seemed as if an unmerciful
disaster had overtaken. Uncle John in
the dog line at last. He traveled many
weary oiles in seiTch of a dog that
could whip that tavern-keeper's dog, but
all to no purpose. Ho was losing his
money fast, and. worse than all ho was
losing his temper nnd patience. Faith
in the motto, "Try, try again had almost
deserted him.
He went out on what he avowed was
his last hunt, and was nesring Sparta on
his roturn late one afternoon, gloomy
and dejected for ho hadn't fouud the
right auimul yet, when as good luck
would have it, ju:t as ho got within a
few miles of that inu which had been ,
the scene of so mauy disgraceful defeats,
he met a back woodsman driving an ox
team with a'great, vicious looking wolf
chained behind the wagon.
. "I'll givH you two dollars and a half
for that critter in hard money proposed
Uncle. *Soho.
"Not enough yet," said backwools.

in securely, entered the hotel.
e.urcjy,
? I think I \c round a dog that can
chaw your n up this ti.n ?," ro.uarkjj
Cnelc John to the majordjuij aftur
passing the salutations.
' Von really think jnu have fouud
hiiu at last do you?" chuckled the mas
ter ol the king of dog?,' and tippiug a
sly \v:uk at the crowd, "Well, what do
you say to letting thorn together ia the

' All right," said Uncle John "I'm
bound to bo t;fF home early in the morn
ing, but if ycu will be road directly
alter breakfast, 1 won't mind giving you
just one more turn, anyhow.'1
'1 lio rumor soon spread through tho
village of Spart that a great dog fight I
was to come uflf next day at sun riso, and
tho whole vijinity was or the quicice.
Our hero explained th it his d ig was no
l iyi us that ho 4*ns compelled to keep
him closely confined.
"Blamed," said ho/'if . I hloovo he j
km ws his own master yit/
So it was arranged that his dog was
to remain iu the out house?an old crib
Or bain, by the way ?and that tho other
dog was tu be unchniucd and turnud in
with him at given s'gnul.
By daylight everybody was up and
ready for the fray. Tho old barn iu
which Uncle John's dog was shut up
was so daik at the hour that only his
outlines?just enough to indicate that
ho wns "n tdio nuff dog"?could be de
tected, lit-ts'ran high, tho odds being
all in favor of tho groat viotor to so
many hotly-contested fights. Unclo John
staked a round hundred against alike
sum of the in.i keeper's.
Time was called, the ferocious bull
dog unified his antagonist through the
cracks of the old barn growled definaoce
for a moment, ami when unchaiued aud
the window opened, he lit in with a siu
g!e bound.
Ah ! then and there was hurrying to
and fro, and flying fur and sj.titterings
of distress, aud cheeks all pale which
hut an hour ago blushed with a quart of
rum, or something less. Men, women
and children outside were running round
that crib trying to peep in. through the

couldn't keep more fuss than thruj tvro
Uncle John awaitad the issuo with
tho calm dignity of ohe conscious that
he holds four necs in his hnnd nud the
fifth up his sleeve: the only cool man ou
the ground.
But it didn't last long. Sooner than
it takes to tell it, a ftiut whine w is
heard at tho window, nod the shutter
was thrown opou, aud what was left of
poor bull struggled heavily on tho sill
aud fell in a raw lump to tho ground on
the out side, This was the first and last
time he ever turned back ou an enemy;
he made one or two nervous kicks, and
all waB over. He was in a shooking
plight indeed; minus one oar, . ona and
the greater part oT his ' innards,'' he
might have passed through a thrashing
machine nnd fared better.
Uncle Job a hastily snatch d the wn

One thins wc desire to commend
Judge Cooke for. Ho has ad-jbrssed
himsolf to the task of promotm^Urapfr.
ance and good behavior among the peo
ple, by urging the enforcement in his
circuit of what is known as the "Tupper
law, This law requites that the vendor
of ardent spirit shall havo a tavern li
ocmsc and keep rooms and bedi/ibr trav
elers, and stabling and prorcndor for
horses, and, if enforced, would brak, up
ninetyninc out of a hundred of these
simps and bar rooms, wheo men squan
der the money which should go to tho
support of their wives and children, and
A-herc in- intoxicating and maddening
drinks, health, intelligence and honor
are wrecked, and the ?cod planted which
-?4 & '**- Tj' Pa* Ot VSw '
bear the fruit of murders, violence and
r i t ' " 3 ? ?
every foul crime known to *our criminal
court record^." * . ~*. . ?
Now, the Tuppcr law imposes a con.
dition upon the vending of what (Jharleg
Lamb calls liquid damnation, for which
in tho absence of something better, we
oujiht to bo thankful. It amounts fo
prohibition in many cases and localities,
and, of course, to the improvement of
the condition of society where If is put
into force. Some months ago, the bar
room.-, in A';?l r on were all closed under
this law, and what was better, the
I- j >u. ?-immim-- .' -
zens followed it up with electing to the
municipal offices men who were opposed
to granting licenses to sell ardent spirits
within the corporate limits. Good order
sobriety, industry and peace are the con
scquencc in that town, and a drunken
