Dead Heads.

The following, from the pen o.
VIM. T. Tinsley, of the Lyons IN
| Y Republican, wilt be appreciated
by newspaper editors who have been
the victims of the nuisance of which
the writer complains:
Tit common for certain classes OF
people to lcok upon newspaper edi-
tors as "dead heads par e1cellence
But the truth is, there is no class OF
people so remorselessly and continu
ously filched from and imposed up
on by deadheadism in myriad
shapes, as these very newspaper mer
themselves. We will give an in
stance or two by way of illustration
There is the man who has patent
ed a new sort of tingumbob for ''reg
ulating" the heat of stoves. He
comes to US with a specimen of his
thingumbob, and tells US it is the
greatest blessing ever invented; il
will save lots of money for poor
people; only let it get into general
use, and the community will rise UP
and call him blessed. He wants us
to publish his invention through oul
column for nothing; he posters us
with it, till we are strongly tempted
to rise up and call him the reverse OF
blessed, and show him the door,
However, we don't; we are too good
Inatured and too Overwhelmingly po-
lite. We don't even tell him he is a
dead head.
There are associations that get up
schemes for benevolent purposes.
OF course the editor must do their
advertising for nothing; it won't
cost him anything to give them a
free notice. Perhaps he Obliges
them, and perhaps he shows them
his advertising rates. Some of
them, no doubt, are very excellent
people, and really believe themselves
in the right. Whatever else they
are, however, they are dead-heads.
There are the temperance socie
ties and missionaries, and moralre-
form agencies, and associations for
the furnishing fthe Hottentots with
flannel drawers and cod-liyer oil.
"Can you ask as to pay you for ad-
vertising?" Can you refuse to put
in our notices of meetings, and so
on, and have the hardihood to ask
us for money when the poor Hot
tentots are perishing with cold"
Certainly not, dear dead-heads.
Fetch on your notices, we will print
them, provided they are not too
long; but remember you are dead
heads.

There is a Digger Indian boy en-
plOyed on sheep rancho in Monterey
County, California, who is a human
curiosity, he herds about eight hun
dred sheep all by himself, and the
oyerseer say he knows every one
of them by sight, and when he
brings them in at night he viii get
on the corral fence and tell whether
one of them is missing. Heis about
fourteen and has a face as round as
the moon, and the brightest black
eyes, which fairly sparkle with mis-
chief. He turns more summersaults
and hangs head downward from
more trees than any man can count
readily, and seems hardly to be
aware Of the existence of the sheep
during the day, yet brings them all
in at night.
