'The leeches have cured him. Wonderful
effect they have. You got the leeches, OF

.'Oh, yes. They done him great deal OF
good, though he could not take all OF
them"
Take them all Why, how did you ap-

"Oh, managed nicely. For variety

fry of the other. The first he got down very
well, but the second made him very sick. -
But what he took was quite enough, for he
was much better the next morning"
"Umph," said the doctor, with a shake
Of the head, "if they have cured him it is
sufficient, but they would have been better

SIX ECLIPsEs II OxE IEAR.Tbcre are to
be six ec.pses this year-two of the sun,
two of the moon, one of the Know -nothings
and one of the Black Republicans. The
last two will be total In fact, neither body
will ever make its appearance again. The
eclipse of the Know Nothings will be visible
in every part of the United States, and can
be viewed with the naked eye. The eclipse
Of the Black Republicans will only be visible
in the Northern States, that body never
having been seen in the Southern States
1t can be seen without the aid of smoked
glass
These eclipses will commence on the
morning OF the 4th day of November next,
and viii continue during the greatest part of
the day, reaching the point OF total ohscuri-
ty about sunset, at which time the Democ-
racy will shine out in its full glory.
As eclpses of this kind are Of rare occur
renee, our readers need not expect to find
any notice of them in the ord parry alma
macs. Full accounts will be found in the
papers of November 8. The two bodies

kEEFING THE FLIES OCT.-In 1856, Nr.
Spence communicated TO the Transactions ~
the chronological Society the means of ex-
Guiding flies from a room with uncl0scd win
dows, by covering the openings Of such win
dows with a net made of white or light
colored thread, with mcshcs an inch or more
in diameter Now, there was no physical
obstacle whatever to the entrance of the
flies, every separate mesh being not merely
large enough to admit one tiy, but several
even with expanded wings. to pass through
at the same moment; consequently, both as
to the free admission Of air and Of the flies,
there was, practically, no greater impeachment
than if the windows were entirely open the
flies being excluded simply from some dread
Of venturing across this tbreadwork. The
only condition is, that the light enter the
room on one side only; for If there be a
through light from an opposite window, the
flies will pass through the net. Nr. Spence
first saw this mode practised near Florence
by gentleman who had seen i, adopted IN
the monastery either of Camidoli or La
Eerna. A passage in Herodotus, book ii,
chap. 95, records that the fishermen in his
time were similarly protected from gnots
when asleep, by covering themselves with
their casting nets. through the mcshes OF
which the gnats would not pass. Thus He.
rodo:us is as correct in this passage as Goef-
frey St Hilaire showed him to be in the his
tory Of a bird (ChQradrius Eggpticus Of
Hasselqust) taking the enats ont of the
mouth of the crocodile. which was deemed
