Wilmington is the chief city in the State in point of wealth and population. Although she I as "made haste slowly." yet she is fast wafcing up irom her HipWinkle nap and is beginning to assume airs metropoli- T, . . . , tan. The lmDrovementa have been so cradual and accomolished with so little ado that we do not fully appreciate their extent and importance. Familiarity blinds us to change; absence for a time laihalitrht nnvcMntn hrinr nnt thft nicture. That Wilmington ' in the Daat few vears. has rone forward, is patent to observant individuals. Among tne substantial evidences ot progress may be noted many handsome new structures, then there arc more flowers than in former years, the streets arc better kept, and there are visible prools that the painter is-abroad. We have water-works which, aside from their practical utility, add much to the beauty ot the city in the way of improvised tourtains. Then we have numbered houses, and tbe genial postman in regu- lation dress delivers our mans at our doors. That our people obey the scriptural injunction, to "multiply and replenish the earth." no one will cues- lion who on anv bri2ht afternoon will notice the splendid infantry display on the streets. r.rni .fintnroof ;n uoa oa small" specimensof humanityand think they are entitled to some consideration Wilmington has no place of resort for her peoplo during tho lone sultry days of Summer.' She needs a good breath ing place. Other cities have them and there is no reason why Wilmington may not have them also. All that is necessary is tor a lew oi ner leaning r m 4 ft V anu moneyeu men io meet iuSuiuer auu rosoive ic anu aevise some pian ana we .. . t j believe tho money will be lortneoming. With tne ngnt kind ot men at tne nead ot this movement tho money could probably be obtained by voluntary con tributions. We can count on our hand tbe men who would insure its success. The outlay requisite ronld not be great. Tho thing is feasible and a plan can be devised for its successful accomplish ment without being burdensome. With the growth of the city it is a desidera turn. And there could not be found a more eligible point that Hilton. Nature has already done much for the place and a judicious expenditure of a comparative- lv small amount of money would trans. form itintoathmir of beauty and iov. . . , , - t mere ougni to dc some piaco wnero children may go for air and sunshine and recreation, and bo out of danger The men in Wilmington who will take hold of this needed enterprise and push it to a successful issue will de serve and receive tho gratitude ot the city. They could scarcely do a hand somer or more laudable thing. In ad dition to a commodious, well-equipped, well-kept hotel, a pretty par, wun a few good drives, would contribute much to tho attractions of the city and more than repay, even in the way of substantial returns. Let us haye a city park at Hilton and a nice drive therein. Benefits of Lemonade. Lemons are very cheap now and they should be used extensively at this season of tbe year. Most people know the value of lemonade before breakfast, but few know how it is more than doubled by taking it at night also. Tbe way to get tbe best of a billious system without the u?e of pills or quin- me is to take the juice of one. two or three lemons, as the appetite craves, in as much ice water as makes ii pleasant to drink, without sugar, before going to bed. In the morning on rising, or half an hour be fore breakfast, take the juice of one '.cm on in a goblet of water. This will clear the system of humors and bile with mild efficiency, without any of the weakening effects of ca'omel or con gress water. People should not iiritate the stomach b eating lemons clear. The powerful acid of tbe iuice, which s almost corrosive, invariably produces inflammation after a while, but diluted so that it does not burn or draw the throat, it docs its lull medical work without harm, and when the stomach is clear ot food has abundant opportuni ty to work on tbe system thoroughly.
