tanning Party.

BY special invitation of Capt. J.
P%oitevent, commander, we, together
with Mrs. r., stepped aboard the
NEW and elegant steamer Pearl
Rivers Thursday afternoon of last
week for a pleasure trip to the city.
At 5:20, at the tap of the bell, the
lines we're cast loose and soon we
glided through the great iron draw
bridge across the East Pascagoula,
and on down the river out into the
bay. Leaving behind
PAsCAGOULA,
with its long wharves extending
out into the water, and white houses
nestled among the wide.spreading
live oaks, we passed Round and
Horn islands with their green tress
rising up out of the water, bordered
by the snow-white sand beech, and
soon sighted Ship and Deer islands.
Our first landing was
OCEAN SPRINGS,
where We we're met by our genial
friend, NJ. S. Park, who conducted
us to his residence, where we spent
a pleasantevening with his interest
ing family. At daylight Friday
morning all was ready and soon our
good steamer was again gliding
over the clear green waters on her
course tor the city. To our gratif'
cation we met aboard Mrs. A. A.
and Misses Pinkey and Volumnia
Staples and Miss Katie Lewis, who
were making a pleasure trip to the
city. With these ladies aboard,
together with Mrs. Hattie Williams
and the Misses Rhodes, who got on
at Moss Point, we knew a pleasant
time was in store for us, as there is
nothing more agreeable in steam
boat travel than to meet with a
party of entertaining and good
looking ladies. After a three-mile
run we landed at the old historic
town of
BILOXI,
and after a few Minutes stoppage
was again on our way. We passed
the Seashore camp grounds, Beau
voir, and touched at Mississippi
City, then we came to Pass Christ
ian, Bay st. Louis, which was the
last landing made until we hove to
at Magnolia street in New Orleans.

appearance from the bay. The
numerous wharves, the neat and
tasteful residences, hotels and
stores along the beach, partly hid
away among the evergreen foliage,
the quaint and unique bath houses,
together with hundreds of sail boats
OF all sizes from the smallest yacht
to the three.masted schooner, lend
an enchantment to the scene aud
holds the traveller spell. bound in

Our trip was rendered more
agreeable by the attentions of Capt.

clever commander of the safe and
reliable Pearl rivers. Capt. Fred
Staples, whose genial c%Ountenance
is the very synonym of courtesy,
never tires in trying to please his
passengers. These officers are ever
ready to attend to the wants of
shippers and passengers, and it is Il
real pleasure to travel with such
gentlemen.

az the hotels in the city affords, and
