Without doubt the flare one way rate
will prevail on all roads. There are two
routes from Vermont to New Orleans,
which in ordinary times charge the same
rates, one by way sof Chicago, the other
by Cincinnati, both OF them uia Montreal.
The time is nearly, is not exactly, sthe /
same. Going by Chicago you will do /
well to ascertain before starting, which |
train from Montreal makes close connec-
ton at Chicago. You will find, too, most |
admirable arrangements for comfort |
on the Michigan Central road if your
ticket is over that line Even if you do |
have ample lunch which one should never |
start without, just try a dinner in the
magnificent dining car of the NJ. C. For
seventy-fve cents you will get first class
$1.50 hotel dinner. If you have occasion
to remain in Chicago, recommend you to
walking distance of the depot from
which the New York train starts, and
You can be sure of every attention. Al
ways remember through ticket entities
you and baggage transportation from
one depot to another or to hotel if you
stop en- route. Transfers in Chicago are
so admirably managed they are no trou-
BILE. The time from Chicago to New Or
leans is about 32 hours. By way o6 Gin
cinnati one gets sooner to a milder eli
mate, and, in my opinion, passes through
more interesting country from that point
on. The turn southwark is made at To-
ledo, Ohio, and the escape from the Lake
winds is always welcome. Ohio has
hills; Illinois prairies; prairies worth
seeing when their broad acres are one
stretch of grain; though, to quote an old
New Englander, ''There don't seem to be
nothing to give the eye chance to stop,
and one looks an keeps lookin' away
| out yender till the first one knows the eye
runs plum agin the rim of the sky. It's an

From Cincinnati there are two roads:
the Cincinnati southern and the Louisville
and Nashville. The time is the same.
Through sleepers are on both. | should
buy over the L. s n. by all means. Trains
leave both morning and evening, and if
you do not wish a sleeper you have no
change of cars except at Louisville, Ky,
where transfer train carries the passen-
gers around the city. This if only step
ping from one car to another, and if you
are ladies, travelling alone, q word to the
conductor will secure you q transfer OF
hand baggage. The employees of this
road are always attentive and the passen-
gers are not left to shift for themselves.
Once on the train at the Junction there
is no further change to New Orleans,
eight hundred miles away. The city OF
Louisville is left to the right. 1t is a
place well worth seeing, and if you will
recall my description of its Exposition
{ you will know it has no reason to be
ashamed of it's efforts in that direction
