One Of the most interesting, exciting and i'm
porant trials for superiority between Sc wing Ma
chimes which it has ever hecn our privilege to
witness, terminated with the grand exhibition at
the Maryland Institute, in this city, on Wednes-
day evening last, 10th inst, after contest Of
over four weeks Duration ---A--- - 1870
The prize was a gold medal. There were COM
peting, the ssWeed," s'Wheeler and Wilson," and
s.Howe," three of the acknowledged leading Sew
ing Machines of the age. The result of such trl-
ais has not always proven that ''the race is to
the swift or the battle to the strong" but in this
instance it must be admitted that equal and exact
Justice was meed out. and the verdict was most
satisfactory to the masses who have from time to
time watched the progress of the trial. Each
machine had its admirers who crowded about
their particular favorite, watching with intense
anxiety and interest the course of the flying nee
dies through the tremendous tests to which they
were subjected and which it seemed actually i'm
possible for any of them to accomplish The
s.W eed'' however, was the only one that succeed
ed in stitching upon every thing, from thirty thick
ness of muslin to the finest lace, through leather
and boards of nearly ore quat ter of an inch in
thickness, thus demonstrating beyond dispute the
power Of its unerring siraight needle, and its
ability to resist without arrangement the coarser,
heavier grades; while from heavy glazed cotton
and linen thread it passed Immediately to No.
200 cotton, with the same needle and tension in
the same machine exhibiting most miraculous
nicely of adjustment upon some of the frallest
fabrics that we ever saw executed upon Sew
ing machine. ta,. ~
The committee were an able, discreet and i'm
partial body of ladies and gentlemen, whom no
fear CT favor could influence, and who were un-
known to all the contestants until the final day OF
trial The result and award was as follows:-

When the Urine is yoided in small quantities

the Urine is high celored or scalding with weak

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.


2ts Th life of the flesh is the Blood" is Scrip
tural maxim that science proves to be true. The
people talk of bad blood, as the cause of many
diseases and like many popular opinions this of
bad blood if founded in truth. To say nothing
of those humors that are hereditary, we can east
lysee how the Blood may become bad from i'm.
perfect Digestion or failure of execretion, and
how this may influence the process of Nutrition,
and thus influence all the functional activities Of
the body. ~ ...-7,fs
The symptoms of bad blood are usually quite
plain-bad Digestion-causes imperfect nutri-
ton, and consequently the circulation is feeble,
the soft tissues lose their tone and elasticity, and
the tongue becomes pale, broad, and frequently
covered with pasty, white coat. This condi-
ton soon shows itself in roughness of the skin,
then in ERuPTIvE and LUCRATIVE diseases,
and when long continued results in serious le-
sions Of the Brain, Liver, Lungs, OF urinary ap-
paratus. Much very much, suffering is caused
by impure blood. 1t is estimated by some that
one-hfth of the human family are effected with
scrofua in some form. ,.
When the blood is pure. you not SO liable
to any disease. Many impurities of the Blood
arise from impure diseases of large cities. Erad-
icate every impurity from the fountain of life,
and good spirits, fair skin and vital strength will
return to you. ... .. .o. ..-.-.

MoRMoNIsM IN LoNDoN.-Accordinp to
the Universe, Sunday, the 18th ult., was.a
great day for Mormonism in London, a
special celebration being held here in con-
nection with that form of 1--WE suppose we
must say) "religion." One of the speakers
laid it down as his decided opinion that the
real cause why the French have failed in
the war with Prussia is because they have
not sufficiently encouraged Mormonism.
This does not seem to be very grave ac-
cusation to bring against nation, and we
don't think that the Prussians would be
much complimented by having their VIC
tories traced to their being disciples of
Brigham Young. A curious report has
lately come from the Cape of Good Hope
to the effect that Mormonism has been in
troduced into the Cape colony. 1t. will be
remembered by those who have studied
Bishop Colenso's works that he advises the
Protestant missionaries to allow the natives
who may become Christians to retain more
wives than one. In this DR.. Colenso was
only following the example of Luther, who
consented to the same domestic arrange
ment in the case of German prince.

RECEPTION OF CoLoRED LAWYER INTO
THE CATHOLIC CHURcH.-Ou Sunday, 23d
ult., Robert Morris, talented colored
lawyer of Boston, was received into the
Catholic Church by the Rev. Father Char
lier, So. The ceremony of his conditional
baptism took place Immediately after Yes
pers, according to the impressive rites of
the Catholic Church, and proved an occa-
sion of considerable interest to numerous
friends who were present. The candidate
was accompanied to the font by lawyer
Connolly IS sponsor. A brief address was
made by Father Charlier, in explanation of
the ceremonies of baptism and the benefits
conferred by that sacrament, after which
the ceremony was proceeded with and the
neophyto duly baptized and received into
the Church. Mr.. Morris has for some time
been regular attendant at the Church of
the Immaculate Conception, where his ex-
cellent wife has for several years been q
most devont and exemplary men,~.r, dis
for her piety and charita','.. zeal
in every good work. They seem t" nave
found q home in the Catholic Church tree
from the prejudices of caste, and where all
are recognized as equal before God.
