g Dead Heads p TO shows, etc.

The following item on "dead heads"
taken from contemporary, is asiapplIca
BILE to this place as any other city or town:
The tree tickets given to the press for
the uses named are always paid for, and
that very literally. AS a rule, those who
issue--not those who receive-these free
tickets are the, dead heads, usually CIV
ing fifty cents for that which a five dollar
bill would adequately pay for. So long
as the newspaper editor iseXpected to give
liberal notices of entertainments before
they occur, and then follow these with
generous puff after the show is over, he
certainly has no place in the "dead head y
classification. Indeed, in nine cases out of
ten the editors would be glad to receive
half pay for their WORK and pay two prices
for the free tickets. They certainly would
make money by the operation.
There is another class Of "dead heads !"
who are not newspaper men. The publ
cation of advertisements is as much in the
business of a newspaper as the publication
of the news and an editorial notice which
is designed to supply the place of or add
value to q regular advertisement has even
less claim to gratuitous insertion than
would such advertisement Yet there are
those who ask just such gratuitOus no
tices,, and this almost as matter of right.
III these same persons should be asked to
make present of dozen yards of muslin
toseach purchaser of merino dress, or a
dollars worth of sugar to whoever bought
three pounds of tea, or half dozen +" free
tickets to whoever engaged twenty seats
at a concert, they would resent the de-
mand as an insult. Yet why should not
their wages be given away as freely as
should and are the products of the editors
and publishers labor and capital? The
merchant makes his profit and living by
selling his goods. The publisher OF a news
paper makes his by selling his advertising
columns, not by giving them away, and
when he does give them in aid OF public
library or other beneficient object he de-
serves thanks as public benefactor, and
not insults as dead head"

Every evening the Doctor would sit at
his desk and gravely pay our bills in card
board shillings, and sixpences, and half
crowns, from out of his little mahogany
box. A boy might do what he pleased so
long as he could earn five shillings day,
and be able to pay Doctor War; thirty
shillings OF his cardboard money every
Saturday night. Whatever surplus re-
manned after paying our Saturdays dues
went towards buying holiday. These
were of two kinds-priyate and wagon. A
wagon holiday occurred when the united
savings of the whole school amounted to
five pounds. On these occasions we had
out our large tilted wagon and a pair of
horses, and drove away for days picnic,
the locality being settled by the captain Tor

the holiday fund. Marlborough Forest,
Stonehenge, Chantrey's birthplace at He'd,

in this manner. We might go anywhere
the horses would take us and our captains
will suggest, and then roam away over the
Wiltshire Downs until, tired and glowing,
we would return TO the wagon to be taken
home at night. We could earn wagon

prove as effectual and deterrent as Doctor
Warts. l know that the very stupidness
of the condition in which we were placed
taught us in a parable the lesson we had to
learn, and made us both so heartily
ashamed of ourselves, that before the next
day was over, when the Doctor inquired if
we thought we had learned negatively the
use our hands were not for, and whether
we were of opinion that they might, be re1
stored to us without danger to the rest of
the community or each other, we were
unanimous in the affirmative. We were
accordingly Embossed, and congratulated by
Doctor War; on having learned something
of.value. He then shook hands with us
sevrrally, and recommended our mutually
performing the same ceremony, as evidence
of having discovered one very proper use
of our hands. @ W r1f- sr

- The columns of the Mobile
Advertiser and Register were draped
in mourning on the LIST inst, for the
death of the Hon. Thaddeus Sanford.
That venerable and able man had
been editor Of the Register for
twenty six years, dating from 1928.
He settled in Mobile in 1922, and
served successfully as president of
the b INK of Mobile and as collector
of the port under the administrations
of General Pierce and Mr.. Buchanan,
and during the Confederate war.
The Register says Of Mr.. Sanford's
abilities as an editor, that he was
never what could be considered a
brilliant writer, but he had acquired
mastery of the English language,
such as is rarely attained by any
journaliat. His style was distin-
guished by purity and elegance
worthy of the days Of Addison and
Swift. In this respect we know no
writer in the field Of journalism that
surpassed him. His familiarity with
the English classics and his singu-
larry correct and fastidious taste were
manifest to all who knew him init
mately. He was not at all deficient
in vigor, but it was the soundness of
his judgment and the nice discrimi-
nation of his critical taste, that
chiefly distinguished him.
