INTERESTING INFORMATION. * tothe Editor of The Chicago Tribune: 5 Caicaco, Jan. 30,—The enlightened views ana excelient purpose of the South Park Commis- sioners in initinting a movemont for the estab- liekment of a Botavical Garden on part of their grounds shoald not be permitted to pass un-~ noticed. Public benefactions from authorized officiale, cphappils, aro neither so frequent nor 80 disinterested as not to meritrecogrition when they do cccar. ‘Thse people, who are everybody, and for whom is everything in this Republic, are certainly not aware of the honorable and yseful place this work, if successfully carried out, is destined To GIVE OUR ciTY, not only in the wstimsticn of the people of this country, Lut of all civilized countries through- ont the world, where science is honored and re- gearches into the domain of Nature appreciated at their troe value. It willnot only bo a happy addition to public pleasure and culture, but will | furnish @ faithful means of methodic education to the rising generations of our people, in many wars without = par in this country. Farther, it will givean additional stimatus to scientific study, and place fo work in this department, for the macdern scientist, whose industry and success isthe measure of progress of modern civiliza- tion. For it is getting noised abroad in the last two or threo decades, even among the common folk, that tho intellectual afflaence based upon an accurate knowledge of natural phonomena and their Jaws bes been found to be the pathway to a physical opulence and power that is fast placing the domain of Nature at the disposai of the regnant human intelligence, Perhaps I could not choose better, in a practi- cal paper such as this is designod to be, than to trace briefly the history of some i KINDLED INSTITUTION IN EUBOPE, i ‘and for this purpore I will select that of the Jardin des Plantes, the national botanical gar- den of France, at Paris. This garden, like nearly all things eminently useful to the world, had a very modest begin- ning, and the history of its successive metsmor- phoses are exceedingly interesting. It was nally a piece of fround about 2$ acres in extent, entirely barren, ond surrounded by miarehes, Since that day, the flora and fauna of ali parts of the world, the living and inanimate riches of the entire globe, have been accumu- Intcd there. All things, in short, have contrib- vied samples of every part of creation, from the rocks extracted from the primitive | strata of the carth’s crust, serving as founds- tiuns to the ancient Cybele, to the humble lichen clinging amid glacial atmospheres to the topmost pinatcleof the highest mountains; from the lowest forms of enimal infusorin discover- able by the mest powerful microscope, through all the gradations of animal forms to man, THE FIRST TO CONCEIVE the idea of this useful work was a physician in ordinary to Louis XHL, Guy de la Brosse. An edict of that monarch, dated May 16, 1835, per- Mitted the realization of this fertile idea, and Guy deo la Brosec took possession of the 24 acres Bought in the Faubourg Saint Victor, and com- menced the arrangements necessary to fit it for ite new destization. ‘The original purpose was purely and simply the colicction of all Known drugs, simple or compoand, so that they should serve as practical Hustrations to students in medicine, the bo- tanical vtudy of the plants farnishing them and their composition into medicine by simple pro- cess or chemical combinations, Guy de la Drosso had taken his work to heart, and engaged in it with enthusiasm and industry. ‘Ho prepared a piece of ground 9 yards long by 70 yards wide, broke the soil, drained, and other- ‘Wise preparod it, while with his own money, by travel, and correspondence, be procured all the lunds and varieties of plants then obtainable.

After Tournefort, who gave the fruit of his study, researches, and travels to dhe garden, viz.: his method, comprismg 16,146 Species belonging to 693 orders. came Sebastien ‘Vaillant, whose herbsrium forms the basis of ike vresent herbarinm of the Maseum. After ‘Vaillant came Antoine and Bernard do Jussien, names historic in botany, then Cpirac and Chicoiscean, phyeiciaus to the King, then the distinguished naturalist Du Vay, then Buffon, tbe most cclebrated of them all. “ Under this distinguished administrator tho Gardou of Plants took a vow lease of life. It ia from the date of Buffon's administration that ibe little 24 acres of Guy de le Brosse began to attract the attention not only of France, . BUY OF ALL LULOTE. ‘Tnis was the period of state of the Jardin-des- Plantes, the epoch of 1ts glory. The discoveries made in all parts of tho world wero hore congre- gated. A Jarze basin was prepared, sunk to the Jovel of the Seine, but, tho aquatic plants hav- ing failed to flourish in its waters, the project was sbandoned, and the besin was changed into s sunken square, to-day filled with oruemental plauzy. Then there was added a garden of secd-beds, which has becomes echool for the terchivg of planting and raising all kinds of plants on the meet acientifie principles, furnish- ing practical iliustrations to students of the nec- essary procedures for raising all vegetable growths, up to the time of their transplantation. Buffon died the 16th of April, 1788, not 109 years ago, and France was in one of those morbid political states pzecedicg her revolution! ‘er credit was low, amore economical admiaia- tration had become necessary. Wise reductions rendered it still possible ot this moment of enury of the State (for France was in full revo- intion) to add A SPLENDID CONSERVATORY or hot-bouse for tropical plants, Up to this datethe Jardin du Roi was simply abotanical garden. There were to be suze gal- Jeries for specimens in naturai history, mineral as well ag vegetable, but thero was no menagerie. At ibst time the animale were at Versailles, and consisted of a very limited number of snecies and varieties, The tornado of tho Revolution that had vacated the Palace of Versailles, also deprived it of its menagerie, Thoso of the animals that had rot died of hunger and neglect, were collected at the Musenmin stables and temporary todgings, and made the nucleus of the present zoological department. ‘Thon came the wars of the Republic; the Con- sulat, and Empire. the boot of great victories are many things, and with fheso among otbers rare avimals. The Museum was enriched by al] these conquests, its inhabit- ants became tore numerous, sa-that it was neoeasgry to build them lodgings more in har- mony With the conservatories snd galleries which had arisen for the other departments of natural history, From that epoch the adqitions to and- embellishments of the Garden have steadily angmonted until it stzads to-day USSURPASSED BY 457 SIMILAR INSTITUTION of ancievt or modern times. ‘A brief acsount ot ita relation'to the State, to the city of Paris, and to public education, will Bive, ibis hoped, usefcl- information to the peo- ple of our own city.

You have seenits modest commence- ment nearly tio centuries and a halfago, aud all that our Park Commissioners now propose is a modest beginning of the good work ; its future grandeur snd utility are QUESTIONS OF TIME AND INDUSTRY, scme money, of course, but not extravagance. Our citizens chose some years ago to vote upon themselves the burden of an expensive park ey tem. The holders of real estate in the vicinity of the proposed parks had largely to do with the matter then, from the usual mercenary motives. Dut,” fortunately for the public, our fate in this matter now scems to bo m the hands of gentlemon of intelligence and sagacity, of broad viows and zeal for the general wolfare in the best genao.

BUSINESS HAS BEEN QUIET TIE PAST WEEE. Some building loans have been negotiated, and some parties haye been borrowers under tho pressure of necessity... The coming spring is ex- pected to bring a Iarge demand for lozns for the improvement of property, and also nota few renewals. Some parties are basing their hopes of an improved business on the idea that money will seek investment in Obicago real estate di~ rect, if it cannot find it in mortgages or trast deeds, and that thus they will reap their com- mission under any circumstances. For the present there appears to be no disposition to lower tho mate of interest, in comparing the months of January, 1874 and 1875, the aggregate amount of business trans- acted, as shown by tho instraments filed in tho Recorder's office, is much about the same, but ibe present month has only maintained its Watus by including the million dollers railroad mortgage noticed-in last Sunday's issue. De- ducting this, it will be found that January, 1875, falls moro than a million dollars short of the same month Iast year. Allowing this deduction, the average consideration of all instruments is 92,557 the present month, while for January, 1874, it was Bero00. The proportion of releages to incumbrances was 6644 per ceut last year, and for January, 2075, it is $074 percvat, Hence, to use a homely phrase, often employed in another connection, it may bs eaid that we are burning the candle (of liabilities) at both ends.

REPLY TO “INDIGO BLUE.” Te the Editor of The Chicaqo Tribune: Cutcaco, Jan. $0.—There have recently ap- peared in che columns of your paper some letters relative to the relations of landjord and tenant, and the propozed onactment of s law regulating them. Ihave read them, and purticularly one sigaed “Indigo Blne,” which appeared on tho 28th. Whatevor, may be the motive of the writer of nid article (and of those who baye written in a similar vein), his letter presents the view of the subject, and advances tho same arguments (if ther may bo -called such) as are prosented and adyanced by those belonging to that numor- ous class who make it a rule to pay nothing they can get out of paying. “ Constitutional rights as an American freeman,” “ Beneficent exemp- tion laws for the protection of the poor man against the grinding extortion of the rich,” “ Grasping and heartless landlords,” and simi- Jar spread-esgls bancombe and clap-trap are al- ways to be found at hand with the clasa referred to, to create public opinion against those who are constantly their victims, and against any mens- vro calculated to invade their long-established right, as freo-born citizens, to pay or not to pay their just debts, at their option. While the framers of the Exemption Jaws in- tondod that they should constitute a protection to the honest man, who, from siclnezs or un- avoidable misfortunes, has become unable to find the means to pay for shelter and food for his family, Ican hardly believe that they in- tended or expected that, in their practical opera- ation, they would take the wide range that they do; that ‘“dend-beats” who are too lazy to work for their living should take refugo under their protecting wings, and secure by their aid legal authority to defy those who have been 80 unfortunate as to treat them, or allow them to become their tenants. The writers of those articles claim that {fandlords should have no more legal assistance for the collection of their rents than shonld tho grocer, butcher, and baker for the collection of their just claims. I do not (and I believe no one does) claim or expect “class legislation,” a8 such, Landlords simply want equal _piotection with tho grocer, butcher, and baker, for itis a fact wali {mown to ali landlords, and to wost of the public (aud certamnly to all of the clogs known as “.dead-beats”), that landlords under tho present Jaws have very little chance for redress against nou-paying tenants, and are certainly ina much worse position in doaling with them than are auy tradesmen. If a grocer finds that his customer is an ‘Exemption law protege” who will not pay, he can decline to trust him with another penny’s worth; he can lose what the man owes, and can say to him: “You can hayo no more goods of ms on credit.” Appeal to’ the protecting shield. of the Exemption law prevents the grocer from collecting his just claim ; but tho debtor canuos go to the gracer and take his goods by force, or compel hum to continue to sell bh without pay. Not so with hie creditor, the landlord, for, after exhausting pationce, muck yaluable time, and probably some moncy, he finds that his tenant does not intend to pay him. Le- gal enforcement of payment is barred by .the Exemption laws; he cannot, lize the tradesman, refuse to sell him more goods, for the landlord’s goods, unlucily for him, con- sist of the possession of tho premises owned by him, which the tenant has and can retain in spite of the landlord, for he knows that he is irre- sponsible, avd the landlord’ is rosvoneible; heuce, ejectment without process of law would ‘pe hazardous for the landlord. Ho knows the Jaw’s delays, sud is posted iu all ot the points by which stays or continnances and appeals are pro- cured; ‘how jartes. almost invariably de- cide against lai, justice, and the landlords ; and that, if finally judgment is obtained against him, au appeal and woribless bond will iusuro to him the possession of the promises for months. And to the landlord what is the ro- sult? First, loss of perhaps a year’s rent; sec- ond, a badly nzed-np Louse, and, probably made vacant #t an unseasonable time of the year for renting ; and, third, loss of time, and good money thrown away in the struggle to get the right to use wis own property. All landiords know bow different and how much woree is their position than that of trades- mon. An irrespousible tenant has everything to" gain, and all tho advantage, in a contest with a lendlord, and the landlord can gain from ao wearisome, protracted, and exvensive litigation, what? Simply possession of his own houge. which belonged to him, and of which he has been robbed from the day folloving the expira- tion of the term which the tenant had actually paid for, and which, if the laws were as they should be, he would bo adle to secure%at one- tenth of the delay and cost now incident to such proceedings. Tthink | express the views of ninoty-nine out of every 109 persons. who are familiar with the subject when I say that jandlords want equal rights before the Jaw with tradesmen for the collection of their just dues, They want laws ‘based upon tho recognition of the fact that pos- session of premises is de facto and de jure an arucle tobe bought and eold 2s are sugar, tea, clothing, ote. ; laws which will enable them equal- ly with any tradesman to retain their goods,— that is, posacssion of their premises if their cus- tomer refuses to pay for want has been already sold him.--‘The importance of this subject will, Itrust, be acceptable as my excuse for its length. Enwix H. Brown. ANOTHER PROTEST. To the Editor of Tie Chicago Tribune; Cuncaco, Jan. 30.—It has been very evident, from the tone of the tetters lately publighed in your columns in referonce tothe new Landlord and Tenant Jaw, that some of them were written by a certain class of lawyera, who make it their business to defend all dishonest tenants, taking ag their feos one-half of the rout kept baok from their landlord, and agreoing to furnish bogus bondsmen, ‘and bold possession of tha property two years. If they will read the law of landlord and tenant as presented to tho Legislature, they will fing the following words: ‘Reserving also in all cares to the tenant tho full benefits of the exemption. specified and provided for in Sec. 30 of the act aforesaid.” ‘The mon who framed this jaw fully understood that they were to framo sucha one that would stand the test of the Supyeme Court, and that the exemption laws of the State of Uhnois wero not in uny way to be impuired.
