SPRING..

This is laughing spring time,
Farewell wintry shakes,
Welcome little blue birds,
Welcome playful snakes.
On every nose the house-hy
Perching quite at ease,
Poor bewildered mortals
Vainly try to seize.
Lean and shadowy porkers
Grub among the roots,
Dissipated night-owls
Hiccough out their boots.
Forth from every tree stump
Crawls the friendly tick,
To the weary woodsman
Gives loving prick.
When too roughly handled,
Little does he mind,
But to show his friendship,
Leaves his head behind.
Birds and beasts are pairing;
BY the waters edge
Shiny frogs their love songs
Croak among the sedge.
Black and yellow gad-hies
Buzz around and sting,
These and other pleasures
Come in laughing spring.

PEOPLE are daily inquiring when
the new B. g. q. Railroad Is to b,
commenced. A little patience is
needed. The question cannot be an,
swered just yet. But it will not be
long before we shall know whether the
road is to be commenced this year or
not. Be this as it may Wilmington's
future prospect never was SO bright.
The situation of the city commends
itself to every one, and it is sure to
become point from which large in
terror trade will find its way to the
ocean. The best thing that the two
great railroads that enter here can do is
to erect grain elevators and coal depots
near the mouth Of the Christiana.
This point will give them days start
for any foreign port and be just that
much saved III the use of tugs and Oh
the interest invested in ships anc
cargo. The land needed for this pur
pose can be bought very low, and i,
exempt from taxation for all manu-,
featuring purposes TO ten years after
occupancy.

A NEW BOARD OF HEALTH.-The
Council last night passed an ordinance
making radical change in the Health
Board Of the city. The old system
had been in existence for many years,
and had its advocates but it has now
passed away, after doing excellent
service, and keeping our little city in
as healthy condition as any city on
the continent Notwithstanding it IS
surrounded on three sides with low
grounds or marsh. 1t is hoped that
the new Board will be able to do as
well If not better. So far as we can
see now the cost will not be increased;
and the advocates of the new system,
who are found in both political parties,
argue that it will be far more efficient.
Of course this will depend very much
upon the energy, diligence and care of
those composing the Board. 1t was
not proposed as party measure, nor
did it receive party veto, being adopt.
ed by ID ayes to Q nays, five Republicans
out of six, and seven Democrats vot-
ing for it aud eight Democrats and
one Republican voting against it.

TIE SCHOOL ELECTION to- morrow
should receive the attention Of voters
In all the wards of the city. The best
aud most qualified men should be
elected. We do not undertake to de-
eide among those named but leave
that to the intelligence of the voters
who no doubt are better acquainted
with the prominent citizens named
who are their neighbors. The names
presented so far seem to be substantial
and reliable citizens. There should
be no backwardness about attending
the polls and voting even where both
are good men and well
qualified. Every one should feel an
interest in the school election and
show it by voting.

FILTHY GUTTERs.-The cutters on
Market street ars, in the summer, fire.
qusntly offensive and unpleasant to
the sight in consequence Of the large
amount of dirt that aeoumulates in
them. The smell is quite rs disgust
ing as the sight. This can be rsme-
died by frequently drenching them
with water by. opening a fire plug.
But this is only temporary remedy.
The best and only sure way to effect a
permanent improvement is to run a
large sewer down the street and let
the water into it at every corner. BY
this means the cutters may be made
very small, as they are in Broadway,
New York, and they would contain no
water in dr., weather. By doing this
the street might be made more level
and an addition Of two to three feet
added to the side walks ON each side
Of the street, and yet have all the
room necessary for street travel. The
sewer should commence about Tenth
street, and be large enough for work
men to pass through, and to cleanse
and white wash it. Such an improve
ment would amply repay the property
owners on Market street all it would
cost, in the benefit it would confer and
the increase it would add to the value
Of the property on the street. The
cost should not be put upon the city,
although the city might possibly fluid
1t advantageous to run its water mains
through it. We are sure that such an
improvement would make Market
street a much handsomer thorough
fare and more attractive to strangers.

Safe Clothing.

There is probably no cloth
ing-maker anywhere in the
world that is entitled to be
relied on SO completely for
the quality ofeverything that
enters into clothing as Oak
Hall. 1t would be in bad
taste, at least, for us to say
this, if we hadn't a particular
ly clear demonstration of the
fact.
In the first place we make
clothing enough SO that we
can afford to watch what
goes into ito know what
it is made of. Is it too much
to say that we do know
In the second place every
thing we sell is liable to come
back to us, if found wanting
in any quality it ought to
have-worse than that it is
liable to come back if the
buyer has the least doubt
about the goodness of it.
Which is hardest to be-
lieve, that we make our cloth
ing safe, or that we take such
chances on anything but the
safest of everything
