The sugar acarus approaches somewhat, in

ofthe liquid some adhering to the sides of the
glass and others to the bottom. mixed up
with the dark and copious sediment. The
body is oval. or rather somewhat ovate being
broader behind than before. From its poste-
rlor part proceed -four long and stiff bristles,
two toget er on each eide, and some eight or
ten smaller ones are arranged nearly at equal

The Paris correspondent of the New York
Commercial Advertiser, writing under date
Of 9Th inst, says:
Another great trial Of reaping machines
has just taken place on the furm Of the Count
Berunger near Paris. The three winning
machines. in fact the only three which finished
their work, were Amrrlcan--two built after
Mccormick s model and one after llusscys.
Seven machines sturted in, and but Il re
came out. Tie Isrhiue Of NJ. Bella, built
after the McCurmick model, reuped % acres
in hours and minutes the machine of
NJ Laurent, also after the Mccormick model,
teaped its q acres in hours and l5 minutes;
while that oi Mr.. Dray English, u proiessed
improvement Of the Husscy machine occupied
hours and 40 minutes. The Manuey
machine, which is an excellent cutter, and
ranks in these trials generally second TO
Mccormick, was arrested on this occasion by
the owner Of the wheat. because it threshed
out the grain too much by the rapid move;
ment Of its beater.
The American machines tried on this occa-
/ sion were bnilt in France, with the eXcpp-
| tion of the Dray- Ilussey nachine,) and all
| of them bore notifications which they wero
| pleased to call Improvements. Bnt Mr..
| Mex enze. the intelligent agent Of McCor-
mick in Europe, tells me that not a single
modification hts been put upon these ma
chimes shch does not diminish their speed
and certainty, and that if lie would allow
| them full scope they would soon Improve"
the machines out OF existence. The curse Of
the French nation is superabundaDce of
IDEAS without any knowledge Of execution
A machine that Is simple they cannot under
stand The minute French inventor looks
at the McCormick machine lie says, "Oh,
| can add improvements to that machine
that will give il double It's force" and ae sure
us lie touches it he destroys IT, and what is
more he can never tell why he has DESTROYED
it. The same thing has taken place with the
sewing machines. Repeated attempts have
been made in Paris 10 improve these ma
chimes, and they are obliged invariably to
return to the simplicity of the American
models in every particular, and even then
they cannot manufacture machines which
equal those which arrive from New York
These frequent fixtures, however, have nearly,
though unjustly. brought these useful ma.
chimes into disrepute
The trial OF teapi:S machines. OF which
have just spoken, was part of the exercises
required by the jury OF the late Unirersal
Agricultural ExhIbition.-At the time Of the
exhibition there was no wheat to cut, and q
trial was made in grass, at which Manning 5
machine drew tie highest prize The same
jury presided on the present occasion, aid
how they are going to reconcile the reward
they have now made with the former one,
cannot imagine At the last trial, the iurp
gave the two Mccormick machines four hin.
dred francs and silver medal each, and 10 the
lIuseey machine prixe Of three hundred
francs and bronze medal.
