southwestern Travel.

The convenient system Of furnishing
travellers with through tickets seems likely
to reach an almost Indefinite expansion. A
new arrangement has just been made, which
promises to greatly facilitate the travel be-
tween the commercial seaboard and the
great Southwest, reached by the Mississippi
river. Heretofore the ticket system has
ended with the railroad journey between
Baltimore and Cairo. at the mouth Of the
Ohio river, or at St. Louis, at either one OF
which places the traveller for West Tennessee,
Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas
was compelled to take whatever transient
heat chance might throw in his way in con-
tinuing his journey down the great father
of waters" Now, however, the Illinois Cen.
r. +. Co. and the Ohio and Miss. X. K Co.,
represenred by James c. Clarke, superinten.
dent, and Z. W. Strader, general ticket agent
of those lines, respectively have established
and organized a regular and reliable line oil
first class steamers--twel'e 10 nun Der
which make prompt connection at both ot.
Louis and Cairo With the trains upon those
two great roads. Mr. Cole, the general
ticket agent of the Baltimore and Ohio Com
psny. has also secured to that line the advsn-
taees ofthis arrangement. by " bicb through
tickets between Boston, New York, Philadel-
