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.

A Second Joan of Arc.
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." Poor

In answer to " Alphabetical," in your las
issue, for a remedy for consumption in its
first stages, 1 can reoommend Dr. Pierce's
" Golden Medical Disoovery," if taken according
to directions, for it has been thoroughly
tried in my family, and the results are glorious.
" Alphabetical" must not expect one bottle to
do tne work?my wife took three bottles before
she could discover any change, bat after the
third bottle every doee seemed to strengthen
the lungs, and now she is well and hearty. If
" Alphabetical" will write to me I will get witnesses
to the above. Henry H. M. Patton.

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.

what I suppose was a disease of the spine. I

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.
