Tide of Carnival TraveL.


 The tide of carnival travel has now set in this way and the travelling public seems more anxious to get out of New Orleans and Mobile than they were to go to those towns. It looks like every body is trying to get out at once, Mardl Gras being over last night and Lent be- ginning today.
 Two sections of train No. 2 left the Louisville and Nashville station in New Orleans last night and the probabilities are that another section will leave Mo- bile making three sections arriving in Montgomefy this morning. There will be three sections of train No. 4 out of New Orleans this morning and probably a fourth out of Mobile, making four into Montgomery this evening.
 This will probably end the heavy rush north as the fact that fee of 50 cents will extend the limits of the carnival tickets to March will cause numbers of Eastern and Northern tourists to pro- long their stay in the South.
