it as the only tnal ever held In which the vrtdiet
depeaded, beyond all don't., ,odel) upon the capabilities
of the competing machines.

The edges. were peculiarly competent, two of tbram

Um engineers and elm manufacturer being she sewing

in respect to rash of a the items that together con-
stitute the efficiency and utility of • sewing machine,
making immediate award of ruperiority in respect to each
itrm, in the presence of a large concourse of spectators
to the trial.

The character of the tests employed is exhibited in
the repent from which ire quote:

" In regard to the deeicont of the judges upon the
szveral points, it way be remarked that during the
entire trial there was scuorly an instant(' of difference
of opinion—as, inde-d, it was hardly possible there
could be, for the plan adopted was itself • surety both
of unanimity and a just decision ; the latter bring, in
such a plan, neither more nor less than the practical
solution of a mathematical problem. For, by separat-
ing the re(pective merits of each machine into element.,
or 'point.'," and subjrcting each point separately to
the test of practical work done on each machine in
presence of the judges, their decision upon each point
was reduced to the simple act of recording the facts
developed.
" For instead.. : each contestant claims the most
elastic stitch. Then each is required to row • seam,
side by side, on the bias of • piece of elastic cloth ;
and the judge takes the piece and stretches it length.
ways of the mem., till one seem breaks ; be still con-
tinues the stretching, but the other seam refuses to
break at all. However disappointed his expectationa,
the judge will hardly enter on the record that the broken
imam Ls the more elastic.

"Such were the testa, and such the inevitable de-
cisions."

After • contest of nearly seven hours, the Willcox
and Gibbs was declared to be the best Sewing Machine.
The importance of this trial to the public is due to
the facts that the questions decidei were such as admit
al absolute determination, and that the decisions ware
approved by a mulande of disinterested witnesses.

The following is a summary of the decisions in favour
of tbe WiLtcog and Giese :-
1. It is the simplest.
2. It is the least liable to get out of order.
3. It is the best made machine.
4. It is the cheapest..
5. It is strictly uoi,eleaL
6. It works the easiest.
7. It works the fastest.
& It cannot be turned backward.
9. It requires the least mechanical skill to operate it.
10. It requires the least time and instruction to Iwo

to nor it.
U. It la the most eertais and reliable in operation.

RHEUMATISM AND PANALYSIS.—•
Extraordinary recovery of a lady from Rheuma-
tism and Paralysis by means of HAIAKS GALVANIC
A PPA RAI US. —" Mr. W. H. Hasa —Dear Sir, -n
you coneider a testimonal of any service from one who
was by all her friends oonnted as among the dead, and
whose death was daily expected, I bow of you to make
use of this letter in any way you may think proper. A
more marvellous recovery was
facts are as follows : My illness eosnmenoed four years
since with rheumatism, the pains being of the most
' agonising description, melt as no one am form any ides
of but those who have bun eirmlarly affected, my
medical men was sent for, and everything was dose for
me that he could think of. As I derived no bead', I
is:noshed other., but all with the sams remit. Indeed,
I consulted most of the medical men for Wailes round;
but the more medicine I took the worst I beoune, until
at last all power in my limbs was gnu.; I became eons-
pletely paralysed, and lay in bed as one deed. l'her
little nourishment I could make use of was put into my
mouth by the num, and in this way my life was retained
for • period of ten months. My brother, Mr. John
Lewis, of Tyddyndn, Llanwnen, Carmarthen, now heard
of the extraordinary effects produced by your galvanic
apparatua and, notwithstanding the opposition be met
with, and hints of Gm presemptioe to believe that any
earthly power could ever be of berries to me, be ordered
one from you. This woe last autumn. What lam now
about to state will, I fear, with difficulty be credited.
In three weeks after commencing the galvanism, power
was restored to my arms—yes, I could now help myself
to my food. In another week power returned to my
lege, and I was now able to leave my bed, to which I
bad been unlined for ten months. You may avidly
Imagine bow thankful to the Almighty I felt. Froill
that hour I have continued to improve, and strength is
rapidly returning. Ido but think what misery I might
have saved myself if I had applied to you in the first
instance. I now rift every morning at siDe o'eloeir, and
take gentle waking exercise. The first time I rade out
with my brother many of my old friends could soared
believe thee eyes—they looked on me as one risen from
the dead—indeed, my marvellous recovery is the talk
of the whole neighbourhood. Make this letter as
public u you pleass.—l r. ruin, dear Sir, your truly
grateful patient, ELEANOR DAVlES.—Trebuters
Cellan, near tampeter, Cardiganshire.*
