Mr.. Editor 1t is TO he hoped that the
people Will not abandon the idea Of park.
and suffer at least the ground on this side
OF the Brandywi ue TO tall into the hands of
interested parties who desire 1t for a pur-
puse fatal to the moral Interests OF the
people am persuaded, after a careful
invest cation Of the matter, that, even at
the price asked for the grounds, that It
would be uuwise for the people TO suffer
them 10 fall into other hands, and II II is
abandoned now the mistake may be dis
covered when II Is too late TO repair the
error.
II IL already admitted that mistake was
made when The ground might have been
purchased at one-half the price now asked
Shall we now commit the still greater error
10 suffering II to get beyond our reach al
together? l hope not. Temperance people,
think Of this; are you willing that those
beautiful grounds on this side should fall
into the hands Of the beer men, and turned
into haunts Of infamy anu shame? o, be
not penny wise and pound foolishW When
/ remember that these are the grounds
where numherless mothers with their chill
dren go, taking their dinners with them,
and there spending the hours of leisure
amid those scenes where nature has been
80 lavish Of her charms. ask myself 10 il
right 10 allow II TO be diverted from a use
so houutiiul with good, and to become the
| haunt aud minister Of evil.
For meeting the objection that has been
made in regard Ia the expense that would
/ follow would just say that nature has
! already done most Of the work needed to
make 1t place OF desirable resort, and II
| does not necessarily follow that the pur
/ chase should involve the enormous OUTLAY
l intimaied by some. Let the grounds be
first secured 10 the people, so that that por
/ ton at least Of the far-famed and beautiful
Brandywine may be preserved TO future
generations, With the attractions thai
nature has thrown around it,
Most men desire 10 be held IN grateful re
/ menhtance after they are gone, and here il
presented n golden opportunity.
When we are resting with the silent dead
the children that shall come after us, wher
they climb those rugged hills. listen TO The
ripping waters. and inhale the iuvigora
ting air pertumed with natures fragrance

THE DARBY IMPROVEMENT LINE.-The
Chief Engineer Of the p. W. IL B. Z. r.
Co., met and spent some time yesterday
afternoon with the Street Committee Of
Council. The desire Of the railroad COM
pany is to obtain strip of about twenty
five feet, or az much not exceeding that
amount, as may be necessary, to extend
the tracks from Ridley creek to Lamokih,
with facilities at the latter point for depot
purposes. They would also be willing TO
enter into more equitable arrangements
with the city on the question of damages
for any private property that might be
removed by this arrangement. This being
the case, it is hard to see why such a
desirebl improvement should not be Sc
cured for Chester. Philadelphia and
Wilmington have manifested great liber-
ality in these respects, aud our city will
certainly suffer by narrow-miuded preju'
dice and contracted policy Chester Ner'
