r THE MEDICAL LEECH. How He It Caret i! t Tended and Raised? Him Food, etc. A correspondent who has visited a leach farm in France thus describes it ; Here an area of about four hundred acres near the Garonne, is devoted to this industry. The march is subdivided into compartments of live or six acres in extent, each of which can be inundated separately. It is surrounded by a ditch eignt feet wide by live deep, outside of wnich is a bank of earth which acts as an obstacle to the escape of the leeches, and which also enables the watchman to go round the property at night without being seen, for there are some thieves who cannot resist the temptation of stealing even leeches when opportunity presents itself. Outside the bank is a second ditch, connected with the inner one by occasional breaches in the intervening bank. Each compartment is inter sected with drains, and can be Hooded or laid dry at will by opening the hatches with which the ditches are provided. In the case of draining the water off, the lower hatches are replaced by perforated metal ones, through which the water, bat not the leeches, can escape. Besides these breeding grounds is a reservoir, similar to them in every respect, which is replenished at every opportunity with the largest leeches ; so that, when the other beds are laid dry, there is always a stock on hand ready for the market. This reservoir is always kept covered with water to the depth of three to live inches, and holds from forty to fifty thousand leeches to the acre?a rate r.itner larger than observed in the breeding ponds, which are populated to tho extent of thirty to forty thousand leeches per acre. Daring the cold season the leech remains quite underground ; but the first rays of the spring sun bring hhn out, and then a troop of horses is made to enter the breeding grounds, in the proportion of ten to the acre. The leeches attach themselves to the lower part of the legs of the animals, which are kept for the purpose and driven into the marsh, and then gorge themselves. The same troop of horses remain " on service" for five or six hours, when they are recalled and tended, and sent back to their pastures, where they are allowed to rest and regain strength. After eight or ten days' rest, the horses are again dispatched on .Infrrr t.V?? 11 nfad anrl those that have digested their last repast, come oat again; and from about tne first of March to the middle of Jane they are thus fed about eight or ten times each. . In June the leeches all go underground, and the laying dry of the parks commences; the horses are kept out ot them, tho weeds and reeds are allowed to grow, and the soil becomes better knit together, as it were. In July and August the leeches come out to deposit their eggs in the tufts of herbage, and then the drains before mentioned are filled with water enough to keep the ground moist. Tho leeches having per formed this duty, again burrow underground, and in a short time the young ones make their escape from the eggs. The parks are now inundated, and at the end of August the fishing commences. The fishers, protected by high boots, enter the pona arranged in lines, and beat the water with sticks, to arouse the dormant leeches, which soon appear in great numbers, ready, after their long fast, for another feast. The large ones are carefully lifted out and placed in bags, with which each person is provided; and the line of fishers gradually advances till the whoU bed is thoroughly beaten. It is then left to be subjected, three or four days afterward, to another careful search, a sufficient stock being always reserved in the shape of the young and small leeches, aud those that, not having digested their food, do not put in au appearance on the unceremonious summons of the collectors. The price of leeches in tho market now is about four pounds per pound weight, an average of 500 individuals coin* to the pound. An establishment, such as described above, will produce several million leeches annually in a healthy condition. Serious losses are experienced in cold weather, and in consequence of injudicious handling of the annelides; but the profits are nevertheless considerable, as the cost of maintenance and collection is not very great. The method of feeding these interesting flocks is, as wc have said, by sending a number of horses into the ponds periodically, for nulcss leeches are provided with an ample commissianat, they will take themselves off in search of forage elsewhere. The horses used for this purpose do not suffer to anything like ihe extent that might be imagined. They are closely watched during the operation, and carefully tended afterward. In many cases, horses which have been bought for atriflehave, under the care bestowed upon them, improved so wonderfully as to have been sold afterward at a profit, so little does the system injure them. Old horses, whose lives have hitherto been a succession of hard knocks and fastings, and a perpetual round of fatiguing journeys, here find a relief from their burdens; death is deferred for months, and even years, and the latcer period of their life is passed in a paradise compared with the experience they have gone through. Paris alone "consumes" some twelve million leeches annually; and, prior to the establishment of the system of producing them jn artificial reservoirs, the annual importation iuto France from abroad, exclusive of its own production, was nearly fifty millions. The enormous demand for these useful surgical attendants throughout the world may be estimated from the above figures. A Brave Officer. During one of the expeditions into the Caucasus Ignatieff ordered a battery of artillery under a captain named Sergneieff to shell a column of the enemy that threatened to outflank his forces. The order was obeyed, but the shells did not explode, and produced no more effect than round shot. Ignatieff galloped to the battery and addressed the captain in languago rather more vigorous than complimentary. Ke calmly lifted a shell in one hand and applied a portfire to the fuse with the other ; then remarked to tho general: "As you see, general, the powder is bad." The general sprung from his horse and embraced him, crying : "Sergueieff, my son, you are braver than I." European Turkey. Dr. Yakshicb, of Belgrade, a great authority on the subject, estimates the population of European Turkey, exclusive of the principal ties, at 8,000,000, of whom 3,000,000 are Sclaves. Add to this latter 1,500,000 Ser?ians and Montenegrins and we have 4,5 0,000 Sclaves amoug a populf tion of 9,5i0,000. The number of Mohammedans is estimated by the same authority at 3,380,000, and although these are inferior in number to the Chnstians they possess all the advantages to be derivea from holding tho reins of power, THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. The Letters ot Acceptance of Messrs. Tildea and IlendrlcUs. Gov. Tiiden, of New York, in accepting the nomination tendered him by the Democratic national convention, pays: The convention, before making its nominations, adopted a declaration of principles, which as a whole seems to me a vise exposition of t ie necessities cf our oountry, and of the reforms needed to bring back the government to its true functions, to restore purity of administration, and I j renew the prosperity of the people. The iieoessily of & reform " in the M-alo of public expense?Federal, 8tate and municipal "?and "in the modes of Fedeiai taxation." justifies all the prominence given to it m the declaration of the St. Loni? convention The Federal taxes of the la-t eleven years reach the gigantic sum of 4,500 millions. Local taxation has amonuted to two thirds as much more. Tue va*t aggregate is not less .ban 7,500 iuii.ions. He hays -that in in prosperous tunes, even the daily wants ot industrious communities nres* cWfciv nwm their ftaily earnings. The margin of possible national sav.ng- is at beet a email percan ago of n&ticnal earnings. Yet now for theee eleven yeare governmental consumption has been a larger portion of tho national earnings than the whole people can possibly save, even in prosperous times, fol all new investments. He refers fco a wpetch made in lb68, in which he said 4< wo cannot atford the proeeutmagniiiceut scale of uxitieu," aud to a letter to the secretary of the treasury in 1863, in which he said: There is uO royal road for a government moro than for an individual or & corporation. What jou want to do now is to cut lown your expense?, and live within your inoome. I would give all the legerdemain of llnanco and tin&ncering?I would give the whole of it for the old homely maxin, "Live wiihin your income.'' He says this reform in extravagance wiil bo resisted at every step, but it must be pressed persistently. Ho says that in his judgment an amendment of the Constitution onght to be deviied separating into distinct bills the appropriations for tho various departments of the public aeivice, aud excluding from each bill all appropriations for other objects, and all independent legislation. THE SOUTH. Gov. ^ildeu says: An accessory cause enhancing the distress in business is to be fonnd m the aystem&tio and insupportable mis ;ovtu meui imposed on the States of the St nil, and it is impossible that tho evils therein should not reach npen the prosperity of the whole country. If the duty shall be assigned to me, he says, I shall not fail to exorcise the powers with which the laws and the Constitution of our country clothes its chief magistrate, to proteot all its citizens, whatever their former condition, in every political and personal right. CURBENCI BETOBM. The object demanded by the convention is a resumption of specie payments on the legal tender notes of the United States. That would not only " restore the public credit and maintain the national honor," but it would " establish a sjand currency " for the people. The methods by which this object is to be purtued, aud the means by wtuoh it is to be attained, are disclosed by what the convention uuiu'vuuca iui tuo iuauu cvuu uj nuav i? denounced in the past. BANK NOTE RESUMPTION. Reviewing the condition of the national oanks by statistics, Gov. Tilden says : Tue government has only to make cood its own promises and the b&toks can take care of themselves without dietreesiug anybody. The government is, therefore, thescie delinquent. MEANS OF RESUMPTION. Public economies, official retrenchments, and wise linance, says Gov. Tilden, are the means which the St. Louis convention indicate* ss provision for reserves and redemptions. The best resouroe is a reduction of the expenses of the government below its income; for that to imposes no new charge on the people. If, however, the improvidence and waste which have conducted us to a period of failing revenues oblige us to supplement the results of economies and retrenchment 9 by some resort to loans, we should not hesitate. The government ought not to speculate on its own dishonor, in order to save interest on its broken promises, which it still compels private dealers to accept at a fictitious par. The highest national honor is not only right, but would prove profitable. Of the public debt $985,000,000 bear interest at ax ptr cent, in gold, aud $712,000,000 at five per cent, in gold. The average interest is 5.58 per oent A financial policy which should secure the highest credit, wi*e<y availed of, ought gradually to obtain a reduction of one per cent, in the interest on most of the leans. A saving of one ptr cent, on the average would be $17,000,000 a year in gol That saving, regularly invosted at four and one-half per cent., would, ia less than thirty-eight years, extinguish the principal. The whole $1,700,000,TOO of funded debt might be paid by this saving alone, without cost to the people. PROPER TIME FOB RESUMPTION. The proper time for resumption is tho'time when wise preparations shallhave ripened into a perfect ability to accomplish th? oijoct with a efertainty and ease that will inspire confidence, a d encourage the reviving of barine;-s. The eariioat time in which such a result can be brought about ia the best. Even when the preparation* shall have teen maturod, the exact date would have to be chosen with reference to the then exuding state of tra.le and credit operations in our own country, the course of foreigu commerce, and the condition of the exchanges with other nations. The specific measures and the actual date are matteis of detail having reference to ever changing conditions. They belong to the domain of practical administrative statesmanship. A human intelligence must be at the helm to discern the shifting forces of the waters and the winds. A human hand must bo on the helm to feel the elements day by day, and guide to a mastery over them. PSEPARATION'a FOB RESUMPTION. Suoh preparations are everything. Without them a legislative command fixing a day, an ofiicial promise fixing a day are shams. They are worse?they are a enare and a delusion to all who trust them. They destroy all confidence among thcughtfal men, whose judgment will at i&st sway public opinion. An attempt to act on such a command or such a promise without preparation, wocld end in a new suspension. It would be a fresh calamity, prolific of confusion, distrust and distress. RESUMPTION PLAN OF THE ST. LOUIS PLATFORM. The St. Louis platform denounces the failores for eleven years to make good the promise of the legal tender notes. It denounces the omission to accumulate " any reserve for their redemption." It denounces the conduct " which, during eleven years of peace, has made no advances toward resumption, no preparations for resumption, but instead has obstructed resumption by wasting our resources and exhausting oar all surplus income; and, while professing to intend a speedy return to specie payments, has annually enacted fresh hindrances thereto -' And having first denounced the barrenness of the promise of a day of resumption, it next denounces that barren promise as "a hindrance" to resumption. It then demands its appeal and also demands the establishment of " a judicious system of preparation" for resumption. It cannot be doubted that the substitution of "a system of preparation" without the promiee of a day, or the worthless promise of a day without " a system cf preparation," would be the gain of the substance of resumption in exchange for its shadow. Nor is the denunciation unmerited of that improvidence which, in the eleven years since the peace, has consumed 4,500 millions of dollars, and yet could not afford to give tho people a sound and stable currency. Two and onehalf per cent cn the expenditures of these eleveD vears. or even less, would have uro vided all the additional coin needful to resumption. BUSINESS DI8TBESS. Referring to the distress felt in business, | Governor Tildeu e&ys that uncertainty is the i prolific parent of mischiefs in all business. Never were its evils more felt than now. Men do nothing because they are unable to make any calculations on which they can safely rely. They undertake nothing because they fear & loss iu everything they would attempt. Ihcy stop and wait. The merchant dares not buy for the future consumption of bis customers. The manufacturer dares not make fabrics which j may not refund his outlay. * * * ! The public mir.d will no longer accept sliams. I; has suffered enough bom illusions. An insincere policy inoxtates distrust. An unstablo policy increases uncertainty. Too people need toknow that the government is moving in the direction of ultimate safety and prosperity, and that it is doing so through prudent, safe, and conservative methods, which will be sure to inflict no new sacrifice on the Lusiness of the country. Then the inspiration of new hope and well founded cocfiuence will hasten the restoring processes of nature, and prosperity will begin to return. CIYU 8EBVICE REFOIrjl. Gov. Tilden refers at leDgth to *erv>,s reform and says : The first step in reform is the elevation of the standard by which the api pointing power selects agents to execute , official trusts. Next in importance is a conscientious fidelity in the exercise of the authority I to hold to account and displace untrustworthy j or iLC?pable subordinates. The public interest j in an honest, skillful performance of official ! uust must not be sacrificed to the nsnfrnct of the incumbents. After these immediate ste; s, j whioh will insure the exhibition of better ex: arnples, we may wisely goon to the abolition of I in neoessary offices, and finady to the patient, carefnl organization of a better civil service i svstem. under the teste, wherever practicable, f proved compete: cy and efficiency. ! My counctioa is that no reform I f the civil service in this country will bo comply and permanent until its chief magistrate is constiintionallv disnnalifiAil for rA-nlAr?ttn:i ATi?r>ri i w;oe having repeatedly exposed the futility cf i i-elf-imposed rei-triciiots Ly candidates or incumbents. Thtough this solemnity ouly cau | be be effectually de!ive;ed from his greatest temptation to misuse the (.oweran.t patronage ' with which the executive is necessarily charged. COSCLUSIOJL Educated in the belief that it in the first duty ' cf a citizen of the republ.c to take his fair ali iotment of care and trouble in public affairs, I j l ave, for forty years, as a private citizen, fulj filled that duty. Though occupied in an un' uaual degree during all that period with the , concerns of government, I have never acquired I the habit of official life. When, a year and u half ago, I entered upon my present trust, it was in order to cotiMumuate reforms to which I had already devoted several cf the best years i f my iife. Kuoving as I do, therefore, from fresh experience, Low great the difference is between gliding through an official routine and working out a leform of systems and policies, i ic is impossible for mo to contomp'ate what j heeds to be done m the Federal administration | without an anxious sense of the difficulties of I rhe undertaking. If summoned by the sufj fragos of tny countrymen to attempt this work, ' I shall endeavor, with God's help, to be the j efficient instrument of their will. Samuel J. Tildes. GOV. UEKDRICKS' LETTER.

The Paris correspondent of the London Telegraph says : It appears that Mile. Mercus, the yonng lady who is playing the part of Joan of Arc in the Herzegovina, is of Dutch nationality. She is about thirty years of age, of diminutive stature, dark, and not handsome. She has squandered away the greater part of a large fortune in the realization of her romantic dreams; nevertheless she is still in possession of more than seventy thousand pounds sterling. Her first fancy was to erect a Protestant temple at Jerusalem, in front of the monument supposed to be our Savior's tiomb. The temple, which cost ?14,000, still exists. Mile. Mercus' present amoiuou is :o cuwuimiu a uatfcery of artillery, and she recently gave ?1,200 for the purchase of guns, but the gentleman intrusted with the money suddenly disappeared, and nothing farther has been heard of him. Tins extraordinary lady is not admired here, having supported the French Commune, and approved of the archbishop's assassination. She spends her time running after battlefield adventures wherever they are to be encountered, and, if public rumor be correct, is rather to be compared to Lola Montes than to the Maid of Orleans. One of Us. A stranger, desirous of locating in San Antonio, endeavored to purchase a residence from one of the most leading citizens, but thought the price too high. "Too high!" yelled the owner?"too high, with three saloons at regular intervals on the road to church, a peach orchard, with a fence easy to get over, close at hand, and there hasn't been a policeman seen in the neighborhood for the last five years! Why, stranger, it doesn't look to me like you was trying to become one of us." Stea'Si.?-" Steam is a great t-ing," romarked a traveler in a railroad car to a companion. " So it is," was the reply ; " I owe my fortune to it." " Monsieur is manager of a company?" "No." " An engineer, perhaps ?" " No, I have lost a number of relatives by railroad Rodents." ' A LINCOLNSHIRE GANG." Agricultural Laborers In England--'Small Children In the Fields. An engraving in an illustrated paper represents a phase of labor to which we are happily strangers in this country. An agricultural gang, composed mainly of children, are setting out for the scene of their daily labors in the Lincolnshire fens, the rich, marshy and unhealthy pasture lands which stretch along the coast of the county of Lincoln from Wainfleet to its southern boundary. These lands, which were originally a vast morass, are now drained by canals iu all directions, and produce extraordinary crops of grain and grass; yet the water is bad, and considerable tracts are still tit for no more profitable use than the breeding and rearing of geese, which are kept principally for their quills and feathers, and are watched by children. Horses and cattle are also raised here and fattened on the fens, 1 ll 1 A. A. _ anu meir care gives employment to hosts of children, who are driven forth to their day's task under a gang master, like slaves under the lash of an overseer. Eight is the age at which they usually join the agricultural gangs in the fens, but in some instances they have been known to do so even at four. It is a common practice with parents to stipulate that if the elder children are hired to a gang master, that he shall take the younger ones also. The distances which these poor little victims of toil run, or rather walk, to and from the scene of their daily task is really appalling?sometimes eight miles a day. They leave at five in the morning, under the care of the gang master, and return at five at night. They, work eight or nine hours, and "during the last hour they are at work," says an old gang mas er, "they will ask forty times what o'clock it is!" In this country farmers can have but little conception of the privations of on English farm laborer. The land in England is concentrated in the hands of a few immensely wealthy proprietors, who let large tracts of it lie fallow for pleasure grounds and the raising of game, and let the rest to farmers on such hard terms that the latter can only pay starvation wages to the hinds or peasants whom they employ to till the ground-, but who make up the bulk of the population. For instance, while there are thirty thousand rich land owners, whose joint income amounts to sixty million pounds sterling, there are over a million peasants who are dependent on the labor of their hands for thenbare subsistence. Scarcely any of these know how to read and write; and they are badly fed, badly clothed, badly housed, and badly paid. The highest wages that thb most able bodied farm laborers can command is from sfxty to a i v . sevc-nT}'-nve cents a uay, wane m me dairy and fruit growing districts from forty to fifty cents^is the average rate ?a day's work averaging twelve hours, though in busy seasons it often extends to fourteen or fifteen hours. In addition, the farm laborer is provided with a "cottage," or a hovel, one story high, with a thatched roof, and without a cellar, so that the bricks or flags rest on the ground, with two small rooms, one used as the sitting and cooking room anl the other as the bedroom, where the whole family sleep together; or, by way of variety, the cottage is two stories high, with one room above the other. An improved cottage, with four roon.8, is sometimes, though rarely, seeD. The sickness and demoralization resulting from such a system are truly appalling. Within a few years much has been done to improve the condition of the English peasantry, both through the agricultnial unions organized by Joseph Arch, who, himself a peasant, by sturdy efforts, had achieved the almost unparalleled feat of rising from his first condition to a modest independence, and through the appeals made by enlightened reformers to the English landlords and philanthropists. It may be almost too much to hope that in England every man will yet sit under his own vine aud fig tree, as, with a reasonable amount of industry and perseverance, he may do in some parts of our own coantry; but there is certainly reason for believing that English bencvnlence will not long tolerate a state of affairs that grinds a millinn nf m?n to ftbieet oovertv and degradation. How a Sirl Hot Into the Harem. A few years ago an English woman, named Tompkins, who kept a shop at Pera, summoned from England, to aid in her business, a youDg nieoe, whc proved to be extremely pretty and nc less intelligent. Soon after her arrival she took it into her head to stndy Turkish, representing to her aunt that such knowledge would be of great advantage to their trade, as the Turkish ladies would naturally prefer to make theii purchase where they could be understood without the aid of an interpreter. As the young girl was at once clever, ambitious, and iudustrious, she sool succeeded in acquiring the language, and numbers of the female members oi the noblest Turkish families came to the English shop. One day the pretty nieoe went to the harem of Prince Murad tc take homo some articles ordered by bis principal wife. She never returned, and when her aunt sent in search of her she received a cool message of farewell from the young lady herself, who became the fourth wife of the heir to the throne, who is the present sultan. Alas! Poor Child. One ridiculous sight at the Grand Union garden party, says a Saratoga let ter, was that of a little three-year-old, who was dressed in a rose colored silk, with a yard of her mamma's point lace flounce for an overdress, and who wore tiny white gloves, pearl fan pendant, pink silk stockings, and with kid boots the same color. Well, this baby started off well pleased to dance with another bnby of her own age, but, seeing a companion of the like tender years danciug with a boy several years her senior, shtcame down the lawn with her moutL wide open, and her hands spread in frantic fashion, screaming vigorously, and when she reached her anxious mother yelled out with the passion of an enraged child : "I want to dance with a boy ; I won't dunce with a girl."

Gentlemen?It is with feeliogs of gratitude that I place before you a simple statement of my sufferings and cure from the use of the Peruvian Syrup. I am forty years of age, and my occupation is that of a map engraver. About fifteen years ago 1 was attacked with what I suppose was a disease of the spine. I onnM nnf utallr nrn/*l ntritirr tr\ * crvcaf trnaV. ^astwaa* asvw vtww, v/ wtasfc W ? ** V-m~ ues* which I experienced at the email of my back. My digestion became impaired, and by degree* my whole system became deranged. I suffered in this way for seven years, and then placed myself in the hands of emineut physician-'. They treated me with mercury and many other strong remodiee, but I grew worse instead of be ter. In the spring of 1857, there appeared upon my back and side two largo abscesses, and at that time I was also suffering fiom a very bad fistula ; my whole system became utterly prostrated, when I was advised to try the Peruvian Syrup. I commenced using it, and at once experienced great relief. I have taken three bottles of it, and every tr&ce of my former complaints have left me. My system has regained its strength, my appetite has returned, and I feel myself completely renewed in age and vigor. In a word, my health is now perfect, and 1 can truly say that I was never able to do more work, and with greater ease to myself, than at this time. * Yours respectfully, Jamzs P. Gox.
