THE expense of a first-class passage, by steamer, from 

 Liverpool to New York, is from eighteen to twenty 

 pounds ; and fi'om thence to New Orleans, either by railroad 

 or Mississippi steamboat, about ten or twelve more. The 

 pleasantest travelling is by the river. By sailing vessel, 

 direct to New Orleans, the fare, best cabin, is twenty pounds. 

 If the sportsman wishes to try the cane-brakes of Arkansas, 

 Louisiana, or Mississippi, he cannot do better than make New 

 Orleans his head-quarters. If, however, he desires to go to 

 the paradise of hunters, he will take the steamer to Galveston, 

 Texas, which he will reach after a run of thirty hours, or so,

 Galveston, he can reach the mainland by boat or rail, and in 

 the interior there are plenty of conveyances to aU parts of 



Texas. 



A good steady shooting pony wiU be the first requirement 

 of the sportsman, and these can t)e obtained for about six 

 pounds, or just now, perhaps, a trifle more. A good saddle,
