EDITOR Home journal;
DEAR Sm;--In perusing your most
excellent paper Of date 10th ult no
ticed Il letter written from Dallas by an
individual who signs himself CT"
Now, If Mr. ST." came to Texas with
the expectation Of making u living by
disappearing things, we arc not at
all surprised at his disappointment,
Judging from the tenor Of his letter,
we take him TO be q "hummer," or, IN
other words, what Is generally termed
a dead head" or "dead beat" who
came here with the expectation Of get
ting a clcrkaIiip, or some soft position,
where he could live without much &C.
tual labor. But Il prudent business
men invariably let such men pass by
prefcrring to engage clerks from ouI
OWE sturdy young men.
lie mr., "T,,") says there arc more
people here without jobs than you
ever saw, Please ask the gentleman
to inquire VINO they are, and where
they came from. In nine cases in ter
he will find that they are men like hun
floating itincrants, drifting from ont
city to another, in search Of some sol
place where they could live and grow
fat without work-men who would no
work If they had Il chance, always pre-
tending to be hunting work.
Mr., Editor, the idea Of any san
man saying that Texas is a poor Stat
is ridicuIously absurd, and he ought Il
have n guardian appointed, as he i
nan cOmpos mentiS. There is no Stat
in the Union that presents more in
ducemenls to honest and industriOu
men than Texas, ana all sucA men al
ways meet with a hearty welcome
But OF the dead head class, they ar
: n nuisance to any country. NJ. "T.
y]eriics the fact when he says that the
actually beg something to eat.
shows the material that they are mad
of, for no able. bodied man, with tn
least spark Of pride or honor in hi'
would ever be caught begging h
daily food. Any man who will try ca
always find work to do at remuner;
tive wages.
Hoping you will find space in you
excellent columns for these few line
we wish you and the Journal niue
, prosperity. Yours truly,

Lrrday morning st the ticket Office Of
the Masonic Theater, Beginning to
gather ut laybreak, the crowd grew
very impatient before business began.
When the doors we're open there was n
continued rush, lasting till after three
o'clock in the afternoon, A detail Of
police was made to compel order, but
II proved to he Of little avail, Push
Ing and rushing and crowding was the
order. Several persons were thrown
into the cutters, others had their plugs
squashed. collars and ties were torn OIL
Gratis ripped, hands skinned, and one
Young man lost u valuable finger ring
n the scramble. TO make the scene
more lively still, men were taken NJ by
the throng and mounted above the
crowd and forced to remain there crawl
ing over the heads and shoulders oil
those who were reluctant to give way,
The tickets for Monday night were all

were fortunate enough to get u chance
at them awaited themselves Of the OPP
portunity, buying large numbers OF
them for the purpose OF speculation. 1t
was generally understood at the outset
that no person could buy more than
ten tickets at a time. Mr.. NJ. V. b.

tempted to enforce this rule, but pur-
chasers, on tn. plea Of buying tickets
Tor others than themselves, bought nifty
sixty, and ever seventy in u lump,
There were persons present who hao
genuine commissions to purchase fol
individuals in and out Of the city. A
few spectators, however, pretending
to make purchases for themselves ant
friends, raked in u score or more o
tickets for m%elccnary purposes. Ii
less than an hour after the close Of thu
sale OF tickets for Monday night ont
fellow boosted that he had made forty
five dollars clear, and had eleven tickets
remaining, selling them at five dollar
