DEAD HEADS. THE following, from the pen
Of VIM. T. Tinsley, of the Lyons IN. ~ Re
publican will be appreciated by newspaper ed,
TORS who have been victims OF the nuisance OF
which the writer complains
1T IS common for certain classes OF people
TO look upon newspaper editors as dead
heads par excellence But the truth Is there
is no class of people so remorselessly and con-
tipuously tilched from and imposed upon by
dead -headism in myriad shapes as these very
newspaper editors themselves. We will give
an instance or two, by way Of illustration.
There is the man who has patented new
sort of thingumbob for regulating the heat OF
stoves. He comes to us with specimen OF
his thingumbob, aud tells US 1t Is the greatest
blessing ever invented it will save lots OF mon,
ey for poor people, only let it get into genera!
use, and the community will rise up and Call
him blessed He wants us to publish his IN
veption through our columns tor 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 natured and too overwhelm
ngly polite. We don t even tell HIM he Is
dcad-head.
''There are the associations that get up
schemes for benevolent purposes. VI course,
the editor must do their advertising tor moth
ing 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 arc the temperance societies and
missionary associations, and mora, reform agen-
ces, and associations for the furnishing OF the
IIottentots with flannel drawers and cod-liver
oil. Can you ask us to pay for advertising?
Can YOU refuse to put in our notices of meet
ings, and so on, and have the hardihood to ask
us for money when the poor Hottentots are
perishing with cold?' Certainly not, dear
dead-hcads. Fetch on your notices, We, will
print them, provided they are not too long
but remember you are dead-heads.

were posted at all the corners, announcing
the great event, and ~ the appointed time
the combatants we're taken to . buildin,,
down near the river, where WAS to he the
scene OF the engagement. A large crowd
went in to see the fight, and bets ran high
the original wager being 5000 side
A ring was formed, aud at . given signal
the ''animiles" were let loose. The,
went together like . steel trap, and in a

was seen that the bulldog was fast con-
queriRg his antagonist, and must soon kill
the bear unless taken of. The dog had

punished. We understand, since, that IL .
