The peoplV complain that tourists are rapidly killing out that and other Atpino plants, and persons bent on mouey-makiug havo helped on the destruction by gathering the plants for travelers. I The odor of musk has been kftown to cause people with sensitive olfactory nerves to faint away, but it is most sur prising to learn, observes Harper's Weekly, that the perfume of flowers can a?fcct a singer's voice. Madame Patti's maid, however, makes the statement that the perfume of violets causes a hoarseness in the diva's throat such as might he due a bad cold. Consequently no plants of any kind, and especially no cut flowers, are ever allowed to remain in the prima donna's bedroom. I n. Every year a novel flower show is held In Philadelphia under the patronage of the Oermantown Horticultural Society. The exhibits nre conflned to wild flowers picked in tho suburbs of Philadelphia.

The Indians are described as being, not uf'iaturally, very curious to know what the ceasus was for. tAt' ?ae place they would demand to be pStd for giving their names, and at another the enumerator had to bribe them with tobacco before they would tell the names of children and others who wero out hunting or berrying in tho woods.

The killing occured oil the southwestern corner of Main and Coffee streets, and was witnesfed by many persons The j- cause which led u,? to the murder were of a trivial character. )e Mr Gilreath was a member of the Bun^ combe Street Methodist Church.

The men met Mouday and Mr. 's Sullivan becimc ub r ive, and, it is said, 8 told Gilreath to "tlx hiius If," that "the gage is down aud will stay down between us." They met again iu the morning, and is Sullivan told Gilreath he was no gentleJ* man. Gilreath rcpl cd with the same expression. Sullivan told" him to go 1 away, aud the Alderman, being a peaceablc mau, turne 1 to walk away. Sullivan is followed him, and. as he was about to step in his buggy, shot him in the back, u and fired again before Gilrcntli fell to the ground. 15o h balls took effect, the Inst iv one in the head, and the first in the * h dy.

Edward Atkinson, the Boston Political Economist, Weuves a Now Scheme For Getting Money. The following interesting communication from Edward Atkinson to the Manufacturers' Record presents a novel plan for increasing the value of real estate as j security for loans: Boston, Mass. Editor Manufacturert' liecord: I observe that an article which I lately wrote in the Century magazine upon the Torrens system of registering iand titles has attracted the attention of General Atexandcr and other of my Southern friends. I may veuturo to call attention to a matter whereby land may be converted into a security on which mouey can be borrowed from banks and bankers without the necessity of making a conveyance of the land as security for each loau. It is a plan which has not yet been adopted, and to which there may be objections unkuowu to me, but in all but o.ue respect the suggestious that I make are a part of the common practice in many places, especially in Philadelphia and Baltimore. What I suggest is this: Tho conveyance of land by the ordi nary method is by registry of deed, under the guarantee of a title insurance company and on condition of the payment of a ground rent without any t\rnmion fr? naw ? ??? ??*' '? iv I'WJ <? |inui;i|)ai iinuji Slim "6curcd in part by mortgage iu the usual way. I do not promise perpetual ground rents, but ground rents terminable at the option of the buyer or lessee on given notice, not terminable at the option of the seller or lessor. It is the common practice, notably in Philadelphia, to sell and convey land subject to a terminable rent under an insured title to capable men, who, being in good health, also get their lives insured for an amount equal to the valuation of the land. The lessees thcu join a building society, and thus procure the means for building a house on the leased lot, becomiug ultimately their owu landlords by payiug up their assessments in the building society and by ultimately compounding the rent by puymcut at a valuation in oue sum ither in installments or in one payment The plan which I suggest is to add one single element to this method, namely, that the obligation to pay- rent.upon the land should he represented.,by What may bo called tent orrm^^crtiflcates, each or all of thes? rent ^jfertiflcates by depositing at such cffleObf registry a given sum of money for qa?h certificate. Example: Let it be asauuttd that John Brown buys or leases frofli James Brown a lot of land of which Oie Valuation is ?1 ,000, upon which he Irailds a house valued at $2,000. The ground rent is to be $00 a year. This rent is represented by ten registered certificates of rent, each of $0 per nnuum, provision being made that ut any period three months in advance of any part of the rent becoming due, John Smith may file a written notice at the registry that, on the paymentof $100, together with the rent then due, be desires to become the owner by purchase of rent certificate No. 1, and so on through No?. 2, 8 up to 10. When he has purchased all the lent certificates at $ 100 each he will have heroine his own landlord. These rent certificates constitute a lien upon the land as good to him, John Smith, as they are to Cue original holder, and he need not cancel them. Or let us suppose that John smith, being the owner of laud free of euciimbrauce, upon which his house stands and which constitutes his farm, executes rent certificates recorded noon that farm with a trust company, title insured, and hiinhims if becomes the possessor of such certificates, would no' these become the first lien upon the laud, not as a mortgage, but as a lien, subject to foreclosure if the rout is not paid. Would not these transferable rent certificates then become available to be deposited with banks, bankers or trust companies as security for temporary loans frou season to season? I am not a lawyer and cannot tell what techni al difliciilties there may be iu the way, but this seems to me to be the easiest way, under our present founof registry of title bj deed, to put land into a form in which it cm be assigned as security for temporary loans without going through an examination of title, and without the execution of papers of conveyance and msrtgage each time that a loan is made. In presenting this subject, permit mo to call attention to the fact that the craze for more depreciated money in the form of depreciated silver coin or for government paper or for government loans, has about run its sh >rt and dangerous course The South, of all sections of this country, being dependent upon the sale of its ex cess of product for foreign export, has a greater interest in maintaining the present standard of value on the unit of a gold dollar than anv other tection of this country. Its lack has not been want of mOnev. but want of credit?want of banking lustitut ons, nnu want ot facilities for borrowing money oven on good security. The South, of all sections of this country, can least ufTord the discredit of I debased snivel, and also possesses the . surest control over the gold of the world, if it chooses to maintain the standard of ( value. It, theiefore, scTtWTfifobablc that the movement which is now bsin^ made 1 for taking the tax off the circulation of Btatc banks, supplemented by methods man r/imlou if aqoo ia hArrn m f run vtuivu uin j ivimoi av uujj iwtt vi uv money of the heat kind on the best kind of security, will presently pi ice the Southern States again on the roAd to progress and to greater and i renter development. In is with this end in view that I present these somewhat < rude suggestions for l readily converting land into a bankable security on which loans msy be negotiated, payable in s'nndard coin of the * est > kind; that is to say, in coin which is worth its much after it is pudtcd as it purports to bo worth iu the coin itsel That is the only kind of coined monc that is good. Our present silver dollm are bad money because they do not met this condition. They are worth hi seventy ceuts after they are utellcc Yours truly, Edwahd Atkinson. NOW COMES THE JUNE RISE.
