NEW ORLEANS, December 3 -- The indications are that President elect Cleveland will soon be a visitor to this city, not to interview the innumerable hosts of friends whom he has acquired since the election, but to indulge his hunting tastes. He was the guest of Charles Jefferson, the son of Joe Jefferson, when he was down here last year and spent a very pleasant week or so on Jefferson Island. Charles Jefferson is evidently going to entertain his distinguished guest again. He has written a letter to J. Henry Putnam, the sugar planter of Vermillion parish, asking for the use of his steam yacht for Mr. Cleveland, who he says may come here in a week or ten days. It is the intention to take a trip from Roseland plantation to Vermillionville, a distance by water of twenty miles to the shooting grounds where game is so plentiful that a man need not be a good marksman to hit a bird or two. Mr. Putnam places his yacht at the disposal of Mr. Cleveland.
