MANY excursionists who take the
Thursday evening train TO Ocean City
complain that the train does not leave
at the time it is advertised to do so.
This should not be the case. II o'clock
is certainly long enough for one to
drink in all the pleasures to be found
at the above named place.

An IMPORTANT LOCAL PRoJEcT.-
The Baltimore Sun of Friday says the
Maryland Steamboat Company, How
ard B. Ensign, president, have pur-
chased 500 feet of wharf property on
the Wicomico river at Salisbury, with
the intention of establishing line of
steamers between that place and Balti-
more, and also direct communication
with Ocean City. The first trip will
be made about two weeks hence, by
which time the wharf, which is in an
unfinished state, will be completed.
The steamer Kent, which has been re
painted, reftted and overhauled gener-
ally for the purpose of being put on
this route, will leave Baltimore between
S and O'Clock in the afternoon and
reach Salisbury at 7 O'Clock next morn
ing, the passengers being transferred
from the steamboat wharf to the rail.
road station in hacks or omnibuSes,
the ride being through the principal
streets of the town, and taking about
10 minutes to make it in. The train
on the Wicomico & Pocomoke railroad
with which connection is thus made
will land the passengers at Ocean City
in time for breakfast The transfer by
bus will only be temporary arrange
ment, as the railroad will shortly begin
to lay track across the river, and
thence to the steamboat wharf. Mr..
Ensign has decided to have a dock
built about 200 feet from the begin
ming of his company's property. The
dock will be 80 feet wide at the mouth,
I26 feet long and IS feet wide at the
end, being cut throug solid earth By
this arrangement a steamer can run
into the dock and then turn and back
up to the wharf without trouble or loss
OF time. The contract for building
the dock was awarded last Thursday to
Mr.. George W. Parsons. of Salisbury,
who is one of the best engineers in the
State.

PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE.
Group Of Vice Presidents.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Three vice
presidents faced each other this af-
ternoon upon the senate floor. Wheel
er, the present incumbent of the Office,
stood at the left of Vice President
elect Arthur, while Rosco Conkling
presented the venerable Hannibal
Han1lin. The three stood as it at the
point of a triangle, nodding and chat
ting for moment, forming very In
teresting picture. Gen Arthur is over
six feet. His head is large, full-faced,
double-chinned, and high-colored. He
was dressed in fashionable, Well-fit-
ting suit of dark blue diagonal cloth.
He has an air of .dignifed, ponderous
ease that is pleasant to the average
man who approaches him. Mr.. Wheel
er was pale and washed-out in com
parison with this fulfilled incomer. The
contrast was further augmented by
Mr.. Wheeler wearing q snuff -corlored
brown suit. The third figure of the
trio, Lincoln's vice president Hannibal
Hamlin, stood, wrinkled and bowed, in
his shabby suit of shining black broad
cloth, as he peered up curiously at the
pon;lerous, stalwart figure of the ex-
collector. Mr.. Conkling presented all
of the senators with whom he had had
any speaking acquaintance. Mr.: Brown.
who was in the senate for the first time
since his illness, was not preseted by Mr..
Conkling, who also led up but few Of the
dem ocrats. Afterward Mr.. Arthur was
introduced to Mr.. Blaine by another
senator, and the two had quite q talk
together. The senators appear to like
MI. Arthur. He promises to pc more
of a social figure than any Of his re-
cent predecessors.
