The merchants of our city, under tha auspices of the Produce Exchange and Board of Trade, have made arrangements with the W & W. and W. C & A. Railroads for excursions on each of the above named roads from the 24 lh of this month to the 5th of June inclusive This arrangement exterda on the W. & W. Railroad the entire length of the road, but ou the W. C. & A. R. R. Sumter is the farthest point from which any excur sionists under the arrangement with the railroads will be permitted to como. The Carolina Central had made pre vious engagements for their cars until tae 5 th of June, hence no excursion una d r the auspices of the commercial bodies mentioned above will occur ou that road until after the date last mentioned.

Yesrcrday's Fish'. A large and pleasant party of jolly fishermen went down ou the steam yacht Passport yesterday to the Grounds. They were about 45 in number and some three crfqur whose alarm clocks were out of order were just in time to be too late. The party, which was composed largely of some of our most expert ama teur fishermen, left here a , little after 5 o'clock. They steamed out to the Black fish Grounds and finally reached a point about twenty miles from the Bar at which point they fished, and it is said that it is the first time an excursion prrty irom Wilmington ever fished that far from shore on the Grounds. There was a little swelFcm, albeit the day otherwise was a delightful one, and some fed the fish while others hauled them in. . The gentlemen of the paity were very well satisfied with their luck, and they returned to the city last evening with a large number of fish.

When they make up their minds to take a free rail road ride conductors may as well look sharp and, for certain, whenever a ti amp crawls up on a truck or on the top of a Coach he may look sharp iu turn, as he is in acute danger of being disturbed in hit stolen; bliss. This was exemplified last night on the train which arrived here at 8:53 from the North on the W. & W. R. R. When a stmt distance this aide of Rocky Point Capt. Borden found out that a tramp had boarded the train at that point and was then ou tha top of the forward coach. The train was stop ped and the tramp made a jump to the ground. The train then started ahead again and so did the tramp, as it was found that be bad regained bis former p osition oa the top of ' the' coach before tbe train had fairly started -r Ha was aga'a ordered off and again plunged to the ground and the train was once more puM iu motion. Just as it got under good headway the tramp, who was a white vagabond, was found fox the third Litxe oa top of the cach.; They didn't stop for him that time but he was mildly told to jump again. Jump he did and land- ei in thV ditch and thai was tho iast seed of him. ' ' 1 There Is nq excuse for, those jrna.fcag their weary and rlfsordertd bodfetr ffito ow company, when a .

Wo give our readers the benefit of our information, just as wo have received it. Dr. C. Thompson and Mr. Hill E. Kmg, we are told, were the secretaries of the meetirg ThatFast Train. The plan for A fast through mail train from New York, South, via the coast line, is not yet an accomplished fact, al though in a fair way of being so. The time proposed is 17 hours and 18 minntes bstween New York. and Wilmington and 2G hour's between New York and Char leston. It will be a 'big' thing and one which is calculated to enure in much bene fit to the business interests of the people. The saving of ono day's interest on the. value of one-third of the cotton crop, and of the naval stores crop, and in the pro ductioa or manufacture of fine lumber and of general merchandise remittance, amounts to a large sum of money in one year and in a decade will amount toJ eaough to make a good item In the accum ulation of wealt. A recent vote in the House shows that Congress is taking a practical view of the question. loose sections which hereto fore possessed thesejad vantages insist on retaining them. The East and the West. which have heretofore had the fast mails knew the benefit to bo derived from them. We trust that the Senate will concur in the action of the House and give these same advantages to the South Atlantic States. There is another very important point Besides saving the interest on remit tances there will be a great saving of time iu traveling. These benefits will not only extend to the larger cities but to the smallest postoffice, to the people of tne entire country, and will produce a general hurrying-up everywhere. This dispatch in traveling and business will extend to all tbe pursuits in life- it will produce a healthy stirring-up every where. Let industry, economy and dis patch lead in business matters; success will soon produce prosperity and abun dance. Then we will talk about what we have, instead of what we used to have. Old umps win produce new sprouts, instead of dry rots. We trust that the i necessary appropria and the train run as tion may be made proposed. A' good fight is beiog made in its favor and, among others , Postmaster James, of New York, an official of large to the Department experience, has written at Washington City , strongly urging tha tbe service be made j l Losios: Joke- A prominent physician of Pittsburg. said j -kingly to a lady) patient who was complaining, of her continued ill health, and of his inability to cure her, 'try Hop Bittersl' The lady took it iu earnest and used the Bitters, from which she obtained permanent health. She now laughs, at the doctor for his joke, but he is not so ell pleased with it, as it cost him a grod patient. Now Advertisements JOHN W. O0RDOS, W, J, GOBDON- JflO. 7.
