The Dead-Head Business.

Since the railroads have decided to
 cut off the dead-heads, many of the
 newspapers have concluded to try a
 hand. If any community, corporation
 or class of business men were ever more afflicted with dead-heads than the news paper press of to-day we should like to extend to them our sympathies. But the following resolution, adopted at the Missouri Editorial Association, will con vince some of the dead class that in Missouri at least the reform has com menced at both ends of the line:
 l. That newspaper-ofice is a busi- ness establishment by which editors and printers must make a living. 9. That man has the same right to walk into grocery store and order a barrel of sugar or sack of coffee, or into law office and demand legal opinion from it's occupant, or into an undertaker's and request coffin, without expecting to pay for their respective wares of ser. vices, as into newspaper office and de- mand the use of it's brains and muscle and type, without a thought of recom- pense. 3. That hereafter all personal or political matter, having for it's object the promotion of individual fortune or shall be treated exactly as other business matter, and charged, at the option of publishers, as editorial advertising. 4. That d-head-po- litical, personal and commercial the Missouri press is "played out" 5. That any editor or publisher who fails to carry out these resolutions in the letter and spirit shall cease to be re, garded as 8 member of this association.

Very Pleasant Company,

It is pleasant to pay visit to the
 house of man who keeps two or three
 dogs. The dogs always fly at you in
 the most ferocious manner as soon as
 you enter the yard, and just as you have
 made up your mind that you are going
 to be torn limb from limb, the owner
 appears, and as you wipe the perspira-
 tion from your brow, he laughs, and
 says those dogs are "perfectly harm
 less, except when any one resists them. !"
 Then you sit down in the porch, and
 all three of the dogs sniff at your legs
 until you are afraid to move. If you
 can summon up courage enough to pat
 one on the head, the other two instantly
 put their forelegs on your lap, and
 cover your trousers with dirt, while
 each struggles to crowd the other of.
 After bit the third dog tries to jump
 on your knee, and they threaten to have
 a fight about it, while you are afraid to
 encourage one for fear of making the
 othertw mad. When they have paved
 about six dollars worth of value out of your pantaloons and covered them with mud, the owner interferes and sends them all away. After tea your host ex- cuses himself for half an hour, and you go out to sit upon the porch alone. Presently the three dogs come bounding up, and they all begin to smell you as earnestly as if they had never performed the operation before. Then they lie down 1; but as soon as you move your chair or your feet they spring suddenly up and appear to be deeply interested in considering you. You think you will take a walk in the garden, and the whole three follow close at your heels, while you are expecting every moment to have the calf of your leg bitten out. It is surprising how gingerly man walks with three strange dogs beyond him. He wouldn't run or dance a horn pipe for million dollars minute, and found for the rest of his natural life. Directly the dogs engage in fight over a bone, and you embrace the opportu- nifty to hurry back of the house. Just as you break into trot, you are sur prised to find that the brutes have made up their quarrel and are leaping up at you and barking, half in fun and half in earnest. You slow up, and get back in the porch. When you put your hand on the front-door knob all three dogs stand around and utter ominous growls. Then they suddenly seem to be i'm pressed with the idea that something is wrong, and they all begin to bark say agely, and to make dashes at you. The door is locked, and in alarm you climb | up on the porch chair. This convinces the dogs that something absolutely must | be wrong, and they begin in downright | earnest to try to grab you by the leg. Just as the big yellow dog succeeds in | getting hold of your boot and squeez- ing his teeth into your flesh, your host comes up, calls off the dogs, and is very much amused to find you so badly scared about two or three unoffending animals that wouldn't hurt child" you once get outside the gate you reg ster solemn VOW never again to visit l any man who has so poor an idea of the demands of hospitality as to keep @ lot of beastly CUTS about his house to annoy md persecute his friends.

Before the Curtain.

A rather remarkable man died in
 Vienna recently. It was the business of Herr Panovetz, the celebrity in ques- tion, to gain applause for the actors of the theatre in which he was employed.
 In order to do so, he stationed his trained hirelings in various positions in the body of the theatre, when they ap- plauded at discretion. Herr Panovetz left considerable fortune which he gained in the exercise of his somewhat singular profession. All the members of the theatre, from the highest to the lowest, were in the habit of employing him, while some of them used to take him on their provincial tours. Of late years his success in gaining applause for his clients on the stage was so great that he was paid very handsomely for his services, especially at first perform ances, when both the actresses and their admirers loaded him with presents. He sometimes had as many as forty young men under him, when it was thought necessary that applause should be un- usually loud and vigorous but he gen. erally employed much smaller num- Der, preferring, as he said, Equality to quantity" This bit of history has rather 8 tendency to shake ones faith in the genuine nature of theatrical ap- plause, has it not? Of course we lost faith in bouquets and presentations long ago; but this is really too sad.

The Season of Fairs.

This is what Danbury says about fairs: This is the season of preparation for fairs. The honest yeomen are pick ing out the best grain from several acres to exhibit as the average yield. The little girl twelve years old, who shows such clear, handsome bread, has been to see her grandmother about hay ing it made, and the advantages of agri- culture are further illustrated by i'm possible angels fondling improbable poodles in lisle thread and canvas. Everybody should take personal in- terest in these farm gatherings, and if he has no horse of his own, should draw his balance from the bank, and unhesi- tatingly plank it on the races.
