The RADICAL LEECH.-An eminent
German surgeon claims the discovery
of a device for making the leech an in
definite blood. taker. When the reptile
is nearly full u small incison is made
into its side, through which the blood
flows freely, and the animal keeps on
sucking until he "exhausts the subject"
There is nothing new in this. 1t is the
precise process by which the Radical
party has managed to drain the Treas
ury and the pockets of Taxpayers ever
since that party fastened upon the pub
lie purse. When the party had near
ly surfeited itself with spoils, fresh
openings were made to inspire a
more vigorous sucking. Brigadier gen.
erals were manufactured by hundreds {;
contractors were more numerous than
the armed men that sprang from the
teeth sown by Cadmus; new depart
ments were orr o ed expressly to furnish
salaried places for the loil; bureaus
abounded with all sorts of perquisites
and pickings: every means have been
devised to draw the resources Of the
country. If this nearly gorged leech
does not drop off next November, the
plupdered people will pull it of.-Lan.
