DEAD HEADING. sensible narsan
writes Is follows in regard to the dead he.d.
ing business, every word of which is true
and worthy of adoption by every editor |:
The free tickets given to the press for the
uses named are always paid for, and that
very literally. AS rule, those who issue-
not those who receive7these free tickets are
dead heads, usually giving City cents for
tnat which a i've dollar bill would not ade>
quately pay for. So long As the newspaner
editor is expected to give liberal notice. of
entertainments bsforeplhey occur. and then
follow these with generous puff Alter
the show is over. he certainly has no rlare
in the 'dead>head' classification. Indeed.
in nine cases out Of ten the editors wonld BE-
glad 70 receive half pay for their work, and
pay two prices for the free tickets. They GER
tainly would make money by the operation.
There is another class Of dead-AesAs, ,
who are not Newspaper men. The publica-
ton OF advertisements il ~ much in the bu.
saness OF newspaper As the publication Of
the Newspaper or the publication Of the

This is the age Of humbugs and patents.
Hardly day passes but we see some new
patent. There are some thirteen hundred
different kinds of patent washing machines
in the United States. We have seen and
tried quite number of these so called labor.
saving machines, and of this great number Of
washing machines we have never seen one in
which the common wash-tub, and the old
fashioned way Of washing with a wash board
were used until we saw the Unrivaled Washs
er, patented by VIM. A. Terry, of Prairie du
Chen, Wis, April ID, 1867. The machinery
IS all attached TO the common wash. tub it
has two wash boards or rubbers; one sta
tionary, and fastened to the bottom of the
tub, the other is attached to a movable shaft
which passes through the centre of the top
or cover Of the machine. This top rubber
is worked half way round and back BY q
lever, thus causing the friction necessary to
get very dirty clothes clean. This top rub,
Der, or wash board, floats on top of the
clothes and adjusts itself to them according
to their thickness, by its own weight. This
machine can be used for a wash Tub, if re-
CURED, and will never dry up and leak like I
box machine. We have gwen it fair tria
aud do not hesitate to say it is the best vs.
have ever seen, and as for the washing Il
does. it can't be beat Give this machine :
fair trial and you will be convinced it is nc
humbag, but real family blessing. The
price is only twelve dollars, which places 4
10 the reach Of all.
Messrs. Hewitt, Wright b Co., Prairie d.
Chen. Wis, are propretors for this State
and will sell machines or territory to thos,
who wish to purchase on reasonable terms
II the Unrivaled Washer don't give eat;s
faction there is no use Of any genius irwin,
his skill on washing machines hereafter
Read the testimonials OF a lev who have trie,
the various kinds of machines now in use.
