For the Exposition.

Sale of excursion tickets has been
resumed by the v, S. and P. Rail
road. All rouud excursion tickets to
New Orleans $15. Passengers over
this road make connections at Vicks-
burg with the Mann boudoir cars,
the most elegant travelling cars known
to modern times, and enjoy the lux
ury thereof at the Pullman sleeping
car rates. The cardinal virtues OF
this system of cars are given as fol
lows by the Shreveport Times: They
are divided into compartments OF
boudoirs, thus securing for travellers
that privacy which is so desirable
They have virtually the luxury, com
fort and convenience of q hotel In
every respect, being furnished with
all modern improvements. The cal
portioned into sections with accom-
modations for two and four persons
somewhat after the fashion of the
state-rooms of steamboat, affordine
equal privacy. AS our friend Webb
says: "You can take one of the cars
at Vicksburg; retire and wake W
next morning at New Orleans with
out any one, excepting the conductor
of course, knowing that you all
aboard"

II Did you ever notice how an
old hen will insist on sitting? Once
she has made up her mind to sit,
there is scarcely any chance to break
up her solid resolutions. She is fully
determined, and we believe she would
sit on the edge of sharp ak for a
week at time, rather than be out
done.
