Thc DouUvillo Courier-Journal tells
a story of "Uncle John," a Tenncsseoan
who was ambitious to stand at bead in

fession, lie succeeded in everything
but one.
The Spartan inn.keeper bad tbc kiug
dog of all bis tribe?a Icroeious ' bull''
that chawed up and spit out everything
that came along. Uncle John put up
Gfty dollars in specie on bis own Tige;
but if Tigc had gone through a t'iuciua
ti sausage grinder he could scarcely have
looked more ragged than be did when
he came out.
Ac went the fiost. so went the second,
fast r; till it seemed as if an unmerciful
disaster bad wertvken. Uncle John in
the dog line nt last. lie traveled many
weary *nites in seirch of a dog that
could whip that tavern-keeper's dog, but
all to no purpose, lie was losing bis
money last, and, worse than all he was
losing bis temper and patience. Faith
in the motto, "Try, try again had almost
des i d d him.
He went out on what be avowed was
his list bunt, and was bearing Sparta on
bis ruturn lute one afternoon, gloomy
and dejected lor bo hadn't found the
right animal yet, when as fcood luck
i would have it, ju?t as bo got within u
j few miles of tliat iuu which bad been
I the scene of so many disgraceful defeats,
he met ji backwoodstuau driving an ox
team with a great, vicious looking wolf
chained behind tho wagon.

The Good of the Tuppfcr Law.
One thing wc desire to commend
Judge Cooke for. He has addjresed
himself to the task of promoting temper
ancc and good behavior among the peo
ple, by urging the enforcement in his
circuit of what is known as the 'Tupper
law, This law requires that the vendor
of ardent spirit shall havo a tavern li
c use and keep rooms and beds for trav
elers, and stabling and provender for
horses, ind, if on for cod, would brak, up
ninetynino out of a hundred of these
shops and bar rooms, wlico men aquan
?dor the money which should go to tho
support of their wives and children, and
a here in intoxicating and maddening
drinks, health', intelligence and honor
are wrecked, and th? seo 1 planted which
1 bear the fruit of murders violence and
every foul crime kuuwn to our criminal
court records.
Now, the Topper law imposes a con.
! ditton upon the vending of what Charles
Lamb calls liquid damnation, for which
iu the absence of something better, we
ought to bo thankful. It amounts to
prohibition in many cases and localities,
and, of course, to the improvement of
the condition ol society where it is put
info force" Some months ago, the bar
rooms iu And r-on wore all closed under
this law. and what was better, the citi
zens followed it up with electing to the
municipal offices ui?n who were opposed
to granting licenses to sell ardent spirits
within the corporate limits Good order
sobriety, industry and peace are the con
sequence in that town, and a drunken
man is rarely if seen in it. We per
ceive that tho grand jury of Abbeville
County pay a tribute to the zoal of
Judge Cooke in \ rohibitiog illicit trade
iu intoxicating liquors, and commend
the County Commissioners fur refusing
all licences. They rejoice ihal there is
1 not now a licensed grog shop in Abbe

two Counties, and borne such good fruits
and met sued: cordial recognition, can,
likewise be done throughout the state,
if other J udges will sec their duty in
?he same linht which Judge Cooke has
seen bis. If a man sets'up bis banner
of Honor trade,Tut him bo required to
t ike proper care, or to have the means
at baud of taking proper care of the
victims to the v r- t ch-.-d habit to which
lie panders, and out of which he makes
