An official life of thirty-fouryearS in
one position, says the correspondent of
the Hartford Times, was closed Il few
days ago 10y the death of William Duer
Robinson. cashier of the New York
Custom House. For fifteen years at
least the reputation of the Custom
House has been VIGOROUSLY bad, but
during all those years, and the nine
teen others which Mr.. Robinson had
passed i'm the cashiers office, no breath
Of suspicion ever touched his eharac-
ter. He was appointed in 1872,
and So valuable were his services as
cashier that, no matter what other
changes were made. his removal was
never thought of. During his long
occupancy of the Office the enormous
sum OF $4,000. 900, GOO passed through
his hands without one cent of loss to
the Government,
His death is attributed 10 the worry
OF mind he suffered from the uneN-
planned disappearance ut a gold certiti-
cate for $1,000 from his office several
months ago. The amount was made
good to the Government. hut the mat
ter proved SO much ON the faithful
cashier that he grew i'll and gradually
sank till death at last took him away.

honor to a man To say that he had held

80, 900 to 40, 900 leeches per acre. Dur
ing the cold season the leech remains
quite under ground; but the first rays
of the spring sun bring him out, and
then 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 and then gorge
themselves. The same troop of horses
remain ION 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 re-
gain strength. After eight or ten
days rest the horses are again dis
patched on duty; the hitherto unfed
leeches and those that have digested
their last repast come out again; and
from about the 1st of March to the
middle of June they are thus fed about
eight or ten times each.
In June the leeches all go under
ground and the laying dry of the park
commences. The horses are kept out
of them, the weeds and reeds are al
lowed 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
heritage, and then the drains before
mentioned are filled with water enough
to keep the ground moist. The leeches
having performed this duty, again bur-
row 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 com
mences. The fishers, protected by
high boots, enter the pond 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 whole bed
is thoroughly beaten. 1t is then left
to be subjected, three or four days af-
forwards, to another careful search, a
sufficient stock being always reserved

Spelling Reform.

The committee of the American Phi
Illogical Association, appointed last
year to consider the subject of reform
in English spelling, submitted the fol-
lowing report at yesterdays session in
this city. 1t was signed by all the
members Of the committee, and adopt.
ed by the unanimous vote of the Asso-
citation:
/. The truth and sole Office of alpha.
bette writing is faithfully and intelli'
| gently to represent spoken speech. So
called "historicar photography is
only a concession to the weakness OF
prejudice.
2. The ideal of an alphabet is that
every sound should have its own un-
varying sign, and every sign its own
unvarying sound
3. An alphabet intended for use by
| a vast community need not attempt an
exhaustive analysis of the elements OF
utterance and representation of the
incest varieties of articulation; it may
well leave room for the unavoidable
play of individual and local pronuncia-
ton.
4. An ideal alphabet would seek to
adopt for its characters forms which
should suggest the sounds signified,
and of which the resemblances should
in some measure represent the similar
tiles of the sounds. But, for general
practical use, there is no advantage in
a system which AIMS to depict in de
tail the physical processes of utterance.
). No language has ever had or is
likely to have perfect alphabet; and
III changing and mending the mode of
writing of a language already long
written, regard must necessarily be
had to what is practically possible quite
as much as to what is inherently de.
sirable
q. To prepare the way for such
change, the first step is to break down,
by the combined influence of enlight.
ened scholars and OF practical educa-
tors, the immense and stubborn preiu-
dice which regards the established
modes of spelling almost as constitute
ing the language, as having sacred
character, and as in themselves perfer-
able to others. All agitation and all
definite proposals Of reform are to be
welcomed so far as they work in this
direction.
7. An altered photography will be
unayoidably offensive to those who
are first called upon to use it; but any
sensible and consistent new system
will rapidly win the hearty preference
of the mass Of writers.

and firmly established in use among
the leading civilized nations that il
cannot be displaced; in adapting it tc

its use with uniformity and III con.
formity with other nations. ~. Y. sun

How Lecches are Raised.

The demand which suddenly sprung
up for leeches for surgical purposes
ut the end of the last century caused
their natural halnts in the swamps
and marshes to be invaded by armies
of collectors, who soon denuded them
of their ordinary stock. The French
seem particularly partial to leeches,
and their use in that country has
always been more general than else
where AS a consequence OF the drain
upon her supplies She was the first to
suffer from Il diminished yield; and in
time the famine spread To Hungary,
Turkey, Greece and Germany, and
even 10 Algeria and Syria, all of which
countries were rmsacked in the Serch
for these bloodthllsty creatures. The
scarcity and DEAFNESS of leecheS at last
attracted attention, and it was, we
believe, about 1880 that the idea was
conceived hy a Frenchman that leecheS
might be kept IN regular farms and
! bred. just like any other animal for
| which there is Il steady market. The
| idea was soon carried into practice.
! and with such success that leech-hreed-
ing has come to be regarded as a dis
tinct industry Of no little importance,
and is carried on 10 a considerable cN-
tent in different parts OF the continent.
Natural SWQmps previously neglected
| are cultivated and placed under con-
| troll, their miasmatic effects are neu-
traliZed, and employment is given 10
| many poor people who would other
wise find it hard to get a living. The
marsh is subdivided into compartments
| of five or six acres in extent, each of
which can be inundated separately. 1t
| is surrounded 10y a ditch eight feet
| wide 10y five feet deep, outside which
| is Il bank of earth which acts as IN OBJ
| stacle To the escape of the leeches, and
which also enables the watchmen To 90
round the property at night without
| being seen, for there are some thieves
who cannot resist the temptation of
stealing even leech'S when the chance
presents itself. Outside the bMk is a
second ditch, connected with the IN
ner one 10y occasional breaches in the
intervening bank. Each conpart-
| ment is mterSected with drains. and
| can be flooded or laid dry at will by
| opening the matches with which the
bitches are provided. In the case of
draining the water off, the lower
matches are replaced by perforated
| metal ones. through which the water,
| but not the leecheS, can escape. Be
sides these grounds is a res
ervojr, similar to them in every re-
| Spect. which is replenished at every
opportunity with the larger leecheS,
50 that, when the other beds are laid
dry. there is always a stock on hand
ready for tue market. This reservoir
is always kept covered with water to
