A Day’s Sport with the Multitude. OUT oF Town. ‘There are & great many ways to go out of town, and one of the easiest is to go to the Fishing Banks. Being eaay, it is popular. While whole circles of men and wo- men are wondering, like Otheilo, where they can go, Sounting the expense up this river and down that rail- Foad, and canvassing the price of board at all the half “fashionable watering places, the large and sensible: Public, thet never had a thought of Saratoga, puts « Uttle luncheon in one pooket and a dolferin the other, bunts up the Fishing Banks’ boat, and, presto! is out Bown on the banks the public gets'a sea breeze better ‘than thore is at Newport at a great deal less. than half Price. It gota a change of scene not less marked or plea- sant than the tourist gets in the White Mountains, and en: “alterative” quite as efficiont as eighteen barrels of Congress water. It lays life aside fora day as fully as if it were on its way to Europe, and at night it ishome to ‘supper and sleeps in its own bed again, with that pleasant weariness that follows a frolic in the open air— nob that one can ramble a great deal on the “banks,” they being under water—merely the shoal places off the Jorsey shore, where blackfish and porgies hold their cancuses and conventions. But, though it would be wet rambling, one can nevertheless have a ‘pleasant time there and also get nicely weary. GOOD ORDER. Qnce upon atime this trip to the Fishing Banks was the chosen one of the rougher elements of city life, and every trip was marked by the ordinary outrages of rowdy- ism. But this is not the case now, whatever may have induced the change, and the trip is decidedly one that the most respectable person can make. Rather more than a hundred went down yesterday on the little steamer Massasoit, and in all there was not one person on the boat disorderly, and no circumstance occurred in the whole trip that would offend even the nicest sense of Propriety. The way in which it is done is simple. ‘ HOW IT 18 DONE. Father, mother, two or three of the children and the little baskets of sandwiches and pickles are gathered to- gether on some one of the long docks that run out into the East river, or into the North rivey, by seven or eight A..M., and there they wait in groups till the boat comes, which it does when it has called at its half dozen other places, Up she steams, a neat little craft, with the Merry passengers laughing everywhore, colors flying, bells ringing, and the lively musicians doing their best on the promenade deck. 2 WHO GOES. ‘There are fifty or sixty stout young ‘fellows on board who go to fish. Some of them, by their bronzed faces, hhave beon soldiers, all are firemen probably, and most -areémechanios, taking a holiday to enjoy life. None of ee HI them are rowdies; all are sober, in good humor and Inclined to have a good time in a genial way, and every one carries his own bait and tackle. There are two or three old fellows, with good sized baskets, having faith in what they aro todo. There are twenty or thirty ladies, mostly young, and several fellows who come as atten- -dants on these. There are haif a dozen families com- plote—father, mother and all the children. There are innumerable baskets of provender. Thero is the ener- gotic Israelite, with the harp, which by times he totes ‘and plays, and the learned German who knows the fiddle. DOWN THE BAY—-ON WITH THE DANCE. Under the bluest sky, with the calmest sea beneath, and the most deliciously fresh breeze just stirring tho Jadies’ curls and veils and mantillas, the boat steams away. Then, as she passes down the bay, there is a dance. The energetic Israelite, with his harp of David and his intimate knowledge of the figures, sits by the learned German, who keeps his features un- moved by the exhilaration of his own fiddle, that makes every one else, even the harper, enthusiatic. The aged gen- tleman with a gray beard and blue slippers leads up the serious young lady intent upon her “‘steps,”’ and they go through it bravely, and the aged gentleman ‘‘don’t care how much jig there is in it.” Bravely also does the ti 3 and in a few minutes more a on the deck, and in bas- excursionists su ddenly jhe fell low! a H ve only a fet, two.

Then there is a free chowder, and every one eats with awful appetite and enjoys it, and chaffs every one else because it’s hot, because it's cold, because there isn’t enough of it, and because there is—chaff not being amenable to any law of reason. FINALE. And so we had a very Many ways to spend a pleasant of the public—to get away from the city, and breathe the vii ‘ocean air, to fill the eyo and the thought with the glories of sea shoro—there is none better, cheaper, more satisfactory or more ra- tional than the trip to the Fishing Banks on the ploasant little steamer Massasoit. 1 it, ye denizens of the dirty see, and see what a world there is just outside of the city. it day; and among the that are within reach e heat and turmoil of THE INTERNAL REVENUE.

COTTON IN TEXAS. What Slave Labor Has Produced—White Free Labor in the Texas Cotton Fields Impracticable, dic., &ec. OUR HOUSTON CORRESPONDENCE. Hovston, Texas, June 30, 1865. It'ts anid hero that, with slave labor, Texas has the soil to produce five millions of bales of cotton per annum, and that with free white labor only ono million and a half of bales can be raised in the same period, the reason assigned being that the whites will not go or can they live and work in low lands where the negro has labored. Hence the raising of cotton in Texas by free white labor will be confined to the uplands lying paralle! with the al ut Pet Broadway, New York. et eee A Raid.—All Housckeepers are Advised bog DUTCHER'S Lightuing Fly Killer, Sold by all drug: Address to okers—Pollak & Som, Meerschaum Manufacturers, 692 Broadway, near Fourth atrect.

PROVED COTTON LANDS in Washington and Austin counties, that were valued at fifty dollars per acre before the war, are now consider'd to be worth only about two dollars per acre. This change is occastoned by the change in the system of labor, Some of theso improved plauta tions can now be bought for the two dollars per acre stated. In other parts of Texas the improved lands sold at from five to ten dollars per acre, Now these lands are donsidered the most valuable, bocause they are in the upland region, where white labor can be readily made available.
