ents to the advertisement Of Margaret
Academy at Onancock. Va. This
school is highly recommended and is
endorsed by such men as Hon. John

gentlemen competent TO judge of its

learning. probably is not surpassed by
any similar institution in the South

An Old Bay Captain.

Wednesdays Baltimore american
says: Captain William +. Timmons,
the captain of the first vessel operated
by the Eastern Shore Steamboat Com.
pany, came to Baltimore ON a pleasure
trip on the steamer Pocomoke yesterday.
Captain TiNItons was the master of the
old steamer Florence Franklin, the
first boat o/rAp between Baltimore and
Snow HiH. She began running in
1863, and was succeeded by the Cam
bridge and Maggie. All the vessels
were afterward purchashed by TIE
Eastern Shore Steamboat Company.

Hook. The mouth of the Pocomoke
river is located about midway between
Cape Henry and Baltimore. The
whole of the Chesapeake bay and its
tributaries would therefore contribute
toward the commerce that would pass
through this waterway.
Ship Canal Routes.
1T has also been suggested that in
the matter Of ship-canal between
Baltimore and the sea this route might
be considered. Such canal, u feet
deep and 20 feet wide, made up the
Pocomoke river to Snow Hill, thence
across the country six miles into Sene-
puxent bay and up along the route
Of the inland waterway to the Della
ware Breakwater harbor, which is the
objective point of several of the most
favorably considered routes previously
recommended by Colonel Craighill,
would cost, roughly estimated. about
seven and half million dollars.
"True, a canal along this route
would be seventy miles longer than
the Choptank route, estimated at
eighteen million dollars. or eighty
miles longer than the Sassafras route,
calculated to cost eleven and half
million dollars. and about seventy'one
miles longer than the Back Creek
route, following the present Delaware
and Chesapeake canal, the estimate
for which is lower than any of the
others, seven and half million dollars.
yet it would still be ia miles shorter
for eastward bound vessels from Balti-
more than the present route by the
capes, and navigation within it would
rarely be interrupted during the winter
by ice.
Indian River Inlet.
"The distance could be shortened
several miles by locating the outlet at
Indian river inlet instead of at the
Delaware Breakwater. This might
require the construction of substantial
protective works at an additional cast
of probably one million dollars. but
the same works will be necessary at
the breakwater, where the 27-foot
anchorage is now nearly mile beyond
the shelter of the present works. Ii
Indian river inlet were improved and
protected by suitable jetties, which
would require no great length to reach
deep water, there would he no diff
Guilty in maintaining a deep channel
between them with the scour created
by the flowing in and out of the two
large reservoirs, Rehoboth bay and
Indian river bay, lying just back of
the narrow neck forming the entrance.
ain this connection it may be Of
interest TO call attention TO many
superior advantages which the Chop
tank route fer the Baltimore ship-canal
would offer it diverted from above
Seaford, DEL. directly across the divide
into the Indian river and out of Indian
river inlet into the ocean.
Unity of Action Needed.
'The above improvements need the
support, through their Representatives
in Congress, of all classes of people on
the lower peninsula and Of the CON-
mercial bodies of Baltimore especially,
as Baltimore has much greater
interest i'm them than Philadelphia.
The agitation now going ON for a return
to a more general use of water trans
portation has given great impetus to
the construction Of canals and the
Improvement OF waterways by the
government. In the rush for appro-
priations, those sections will be sue
cessful which understand best how to
present their claims intelligently and
with unAagging persistenccy.

4 Henry 4. Wise Relic Found
In Snow Hill.
A great many years ago stranger
from Virginia visiting Snow Hill got
short of cash. To replenish his exche-
guer he had to borrow some money on
collateral. William Jones, colored
now residing in Snow Hill, who at that
time was the town barber, agreed to
accommodate the man. who turned over
to Jones dueling pistol which he said
was the property of Hon Henry a
Wise. and he said he wodld not part
with it at any price, but would redeem
it. Jones never saw the man again
but kept the pistol in his possession un-
til few days ago. when Mr.. l.. Edw.
Behm purchased it from him as a curl.
osity. II is about 10 inches long;
the hammer is underneath, the handle
is small and there are two sights on
the barrel. 1t is a genuine dueling
pistol and it is more than probable it
was once the property of the distin-
guished Virginian.
