GOVERNOR ALIENS VIEWS ON
THE CURRENCY QUESTION.

\ great many people have wondered
how Governor Allen viewed the currency
question, and We are pleased to be able
to turn n little light upon the problem.
From excellent authority we learn that
Governor Allen is in favor of wiping out
the National Bank svindle entirely; then
establish basis for circulating medi-
UNI, and let the Government issue its
money directly to the people, giving as
its security the stability of the United
States Government. Then let banks be
established by persons who wish to do IA
discount and deposit business, but who
shall not issue money And, after hav-
ing established basis for currency cir
culation, the Governor would provide at
certain periods increased currency in
proportion to the increase Ia lie popula-
tiSn of the country.
Thus we see that Governor Allen is
what Is known ~ an ''inflatiOnist" He
does not believ- IN making the currency
circulation smaller, while the population
and diversified interests of the country
are growing larger Mr.. Allen believes
that Judge Thurman will find it difficult
TO explain his position satisfactorily to
the people. From another gentleman
we learn that the Governor said or init.
ma ed that, under the circumstances, he
would have voted for the Merrimon bill
had he been Il member of Congress.
THE world is indebted TO the st. Louis
RepuJiic0H for the following bit of his
tory. In II recent issue that paper says:
We are in a position to state that Mr.
Greeley and his near friends were respon-
g - r
giving the Cincinnati Liberal Republi-
can ticket n straight out Democratic
label at Baltimore. The Missouri dele
CATION was a unit in favor Of the passive
policy, and appointed a committee, con
sisting of Messrs. BrOadhead, Vest, and
Hyde, to confer with other State dele
CATIONS and urge upon them the advan-
titges of refraining from making any
nominations at all. But it was found
to De entirely useless to attempt TO stem
tine current of opposition to this policy,
especially as the delegates from New
York, who We're known to reflect the
views of Mr.. Greeley, persistently de
clined to yield. They thought, ''in or
der to hold the Democracy" it was
necessary 10 give Mr.. Greeley the sane
ton Of IA regular party nOminatiOn-a
proceeding of which it is sufficient here
to- say that it utterly destroyed the log
ic Of the whole movement. From that
hour the revolt in the Republican party
ceased. and fortnight afterwards there
was nothing left Of the grandest politi-
cal revolution ever seen in America but
a feeble twinkling hope, which the North
Carolina election partially eclipsed, and
Pennsylvania and Ohio in October
elfectually extiuguished.

REAL ESTATE

There has been n marked decline IN
real estate in New York within the last
year-a positive decline. \ very few
dwellings and stores were rented TINS
spring at the old rates, but a great ma
icrity of landlords were compelled 10 be
content with a reduction Of from 20 to
so per cent. And consequently the price,
or rather value. or real estate. has de-
cIined correspOndingiy. This is not al
together the effect of the panic, though
Of course that had something TO do with
il. But there are other causes more DO
tent than panics. The city i governed
by non-prOperty-holders, who take great
pleasure in sweating property. The
rOughs and bruisers. who are either in
the government personally or control
those who are in. look upon the tax
payers as their Legitimate game. and
they make the most of them The tax
payer Is pOwerless; for the roughs can
and do elect not only the city govern
ment. but, in the hands of the rings,
have a controlling power in the Leelsia-
ture Of the State Taxes are piled ON IN

"QUID PRO QUO"

Mr. Greeley was not more opposed to
"have something for nothing" than was
Mr.. Summer. He was constantly DESTROYS
to make return for whatever he received.
If an author presented him with his book;
if an engraver sent him proof of his last
picture, he made haste to acknowledge the
courtesy by letter which could be, and
generally was, published. But no one
could venture even upon his friendship to
present to the Senator any article of value,
as he would decline to receive it unless he
were permitted to return its money value.
This popularity was noticeable in the most
carriage with another, he would insist on
sharing the expense. Did friend pay the
fare of both in the street-car, he insisted
on repaying the half He may have
been so far educated in the European GUS
t ,m in such matters that it had become
habit with him. 1t was evident that he
did not know he was singular in this, as he
spoke of it as odd that others should make
it difficult for him to do as he desired. In
one case, when he had gone some distance
to speak in a doubtful district, by invita-
ton of Member whose re election was
pending, and was entertained at the Men,
ber's house, he persisted in paying his
part of the expense of the carriage to the
depot; and when his friend refused to re-
ceive from him the amount paid for the
railroad ticket he procured for the Senator
in advance, Mr.. Sumner returned him the
price of it by post the next day.-M. 4.

A Tree that Keeps q Standing Army.

Among the varied means of defence de-
veloped by plants in their ceaseless struggle
for existence, there is none more wonder
full or effective than that of species of
acacia which abounds on the dry savan-
nahs of Central America. 1t is called the
thorns like bulls horns, set in pairs all
over the trunk and branches, These no
doubt help to protect the tree from the
attacks of browsing animals; but it has
more dangerous enemies in the leaf cutting
ants and other insects. Against these the
tree maintains a numerous standing army,
for which it provides snug houses stored
with food, nectar to drink, and abundance
of luscious fruit for dessert.
When first developed, the thorns are
soft and filled with swedish pulp, much
relished by species of small springing
ants, never found except on these trees.
Making hole near the point of one of
each pair of thorns, these ants eat out the
interior, then burrow through the thin
partition at the base into the other thorn,
and treat it in the same manner. The
hollow shells thus formed make admirable
dwellings, none of which are left unten-
anted, as any one may discover by disturb
ing the plant, when the little warriors
swarm out in force and attack the aggres-
sor with jaws and stings.
The leaves Of the plant are two-winged,
and at the base of each pair of leaflets, on
the mid rib, is gland, which, when the
leaf is young, secretes honey-like fluid,
of which the ants are very fond. This
ensures their constant presence on the
young leaves, and their most pleasant ser
vice in driving off other insects.
A still more wonderful provision of solid
food is made for similar purpose. At
the end of each of the small divisions of
the compound leatlet, there grows small
fruit-like body, which, under the micro
scope, looks like golden pear. When the
leaf first unfolds, the little. pears are not
quite ripe, and the antsssare continually
employed going from one to another to see
how they come on. AS these fruit-like
bodies-which appear to have no other use
than as ant food-do not all ripen at once,
the ants are kept about the young leaves
for considerable time. When an ant
finds one sufficiently advanced, it bites the
point Of attachment, then, bending down
the prize, breaks it off and bears it away
in triumph to the nest.
These ants, a species of pseudomyraaa
are found, as already noticed, only on these
trees; and that the trees really keep them
as a body guard seems evident from the
fact that, when planted in localities where
their little protectors do not exist, they are
speedily defoliated by leaf cutters, which
let them severely alone on the savannahs
while their honey glands and golden pears
offer no attractions to the ants of the forest.
Apparently both acacias and pseudomyr-
mas have been mutually modified in the
course of time, until they are now quite
dependent on each other for support and
protection.

METHODS OF PHYSICAL TRAINING.

In commencing the training of profess
sional pugilist, we of course do not mean
to say that in the physical cultivation of
its fullest extent, but only that it's princi-
pies are thoroughly correct, and that, with
the notifications suited to other crcum-
stances, it will serve as a general rule to
proceed upon. The conditions are those of
diet, exercise and manner of life. As to
the first named, they include simple food,
such as rare beef and mutton, a small
quantity of vegetables, and entire Austen
ton from meals late at night. There is
difference among authorities as to the
liquids to be used, but WHISTLES, handy and
heating wines are to be entirely avoided.
The utmost that is allowed is a pint of por-
ter, ale or claret, or a cup of weak tea at
every meal. Highly seasoned meats and
alcoholic drinks are entirely forbidden to
men under athletic training. Dat meal por-
ridge is an excellent article of diet, and the
man who can contrive to live on this and
rare beef is already on the way to a good
physical condition. q, The crews that are
preparing for the regatta on Saratoga Lake
next week, rise at four Or five o'clock in
the morning,Sgo through allstheir exercise
before sunset, and are in bed by nine
o clock at night. Regular meals of the
kind we have indicated and early hours in
the morning and at night are the most
81 $hair o,,,s,
Living insiih way they become all solid
Drawn and muscle, buttt is necessary that
they should take larger amount Of exer-
else, eat nothing but the most easily digest.
ible food, and sleep at least eight hours cut
of the twenty-four.
But it is impossible for city men in the
usual course of life to follow these rules
exactly, although they can cenfine them
selves to very nearly the same routine of
diet. AS to exercise, that is easily attain
able. Most of them live one or two or
three miles from their places of business,
and they would find nothing better for them
than to make constant practice of walk
ing over their routes between their homes
and offices each day, and giving up the
"luxury" of riding in the street cars.
Pedestrianism is a great aid to physical
development, and those who will try walk
ing will find that, like all other sturdy
employment of the limbs and muscles, it
becomes positive pleasure. For other
exei else they may purchase pair of Indian
clubs or dumb bells and devote fifteen min
utes before each meal to using them. Or
if they join a rowing or a base ball club
they will find that the hard work at the oar
Or the bat is exceedingly beneficial, more
especially if they follow the course of diet
which we have indicated. Anything that
calls the muscular powers into play helps
to strengthen them, but such development
can only attain its highest perfection when
aided by regular methods of life. If any
one wishes to cultivate his wind and mus
Giles to their highest extent, he must have
plenty of sleep, live on digestible food,
avoid liquors, walk at least three or five
miles every day, and never let twenty four
hours go by without exercising his arms
and chest.-Baltimore american.
