CORRESPONDENCE,

Mr.. SERIES EDToR:-The following paper,
entitled "Hoo to Get Smashed" is submitted to
you as the voice of one of the unsmashed.
1t may not be generally known that there
exist within the boundaries of the city of Phila
dephia facilities for self-destruction euualling,
if not exceeding, those afforded by the some
what celebrated car of Juggernaut. Nay, our
home facilities are superior to the Hindoo ar
rangements, for those heathens propel their
clumsy vehicle at such moderate degree of
speed that the enthusiast who thinks of de-
stroying himself by falling under it has time
to repent his rash determination, and dodge
its big wheels, even after he has laid down to
await its approach. Our Juggernaut comes
with such crushing haste as to afford its
victims little or no opportunity to get out of
its way. Some of these days, if speedy reform
is not instituted, a horse-car load of victims
will be sacrificed, and their dying groans and
their mangled remains will testify to the
worse than heather inexpediency of allowing
the steam horse and the street horse to cross
each others path at grade.
To enjoy the advantages of the Philadel-
phia Juggernaut arrangement, travel on the
street railroad westward over the Wire Bridge.
and you can be smashed for seven cents.
Going west, you begin to get up in the
world soon after you leave that rickety struc-
ture ofrusty wire and combusible timber which
crosses the Schuylkill at Fairmount. The
ascent is so steep that the two horses which
pull the overloaded car require some extra
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-03-09

force and the wedge team is again on its toll
some way up the hills, The passengers spend
the time of the ascent in giving thanks for
their miraculous escape. At the top ofthe hill,
the weary set Of horse-bones is unloosed,
and cheerfully start down the hill to be in
readiness for the next car. eve often think
how that aged beast must wish that, instead of
helping the car up hill, and returning un-
loaded, he had to help pull it dorm hill, and
go up the steep incline with nothing fastened
to him.
The danger-the remedy. This sort of
crossing has been a cross to us long enough.
1t won't do, The sooner it is altered the
better.
The Street Railroad should cross the Penn
sylvania Railroad on a bridge. This can be
easily and economically arranged, in connec-
ton with the proposed new bridge over the
schuylllill to connect Spring Garden street
with Bridge street. That this new bridge
ought to be built at once every one agrees,
on giving the subject the least attention.
The distance across the river being only $50
feet, the new bridge will be q comparatively
inexpensive one. By its erection we will be
spared the present nuisances and dangers of
the Juggernaut crossing above alluded to, and
of the ricBety "Wire Bridge" which can
either be taken down and made into hoop
skirts, or kept for light travel in connection
with Fairmount Park. The unsightliness of
the tail end of Callowhill street, with its
numerous little rumshops and cabbage marts,
can be bettered; and Spring Garden street,
now great blind alley, running itself vio-
lently against the hideous stone wall Of Fair
mount at Twenty-ffth street, can, by a
trihing change, and with a graceful curve,
be opened to the new bridge, thus making a
continuous and magnificent avenue.
An examination of the merits of the pro-
posed improvement will convince any reason
able citizen that it will accomplish more, for
the amount to be expended on it, and benefit
the community generally to greater extent,
than any improvement which has been sug-
gested for long time. The only wonder is
that it was not made long ago. Let the people
consider it before any carloads of human
beings are smashed at the dangerous crossings.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-03-09

help. This "extra" is in waiting at the first
whisky shop beyond the river, in the shape of
q venerable set of horse-bones, on which a
horse-skin hangs so loosely as to suggest the
idea that the creature takes his skin off
when he goes to bed at night. AS the car
approaches, the driver of the "extra' comes
out from the whisky shop, hitches his beast
in front of the pair which needs his helping
pull, swears at him to make him start,
hits him with a stick to keep him
going, and the whole concern is on its way up
the hill. There is pause, however, little
way on. Here is the danger. The track of
the Pennsylvania Railroad must be crossed.
Our attenuated horse-frame is a sagacious
animal, and would like to be put out of his
misery by being run over, were he allowed so
to commit suicide. He is held in with bit and
bride till the danger appears to be over.
Sometimes the danger is from a passenger
train, sometimes from a freight train; but
more frequently from very active little loco
motive which has q pleasant way of keeping
itself busy by sporting to and fro over the
track, either to make up trains, or to take
them apart, or to see and report progress as
to how things are getting along ON the track.
How many times day this lively engine
crosses Bridge street, no man has ever
counted in fact, the thing does not seem to
keep still long enough to allow anybody to
count it. But each time that it, or any other
engine, crosses the track of the street car,
somebody's life is put in jeopardy. Some
times one horse in the team is of balky
disposition, and the particular moment
when he takes it into his head not tC
move on is that particular moment when he is
inst crossing the Pennsylvania Railroad track,
and when the lively engine aforesaid is bear
ing down ON him under full head of steam
Then there is scare in the car. Men growl
women scream, babies squall, and women whC
carry babies in their arms rush out of the car
CRYING with vociferant anguish that they ant
their babes are lost. They presently find

Meeting of the Agricultural Society.

The meeting of this Society was held this
week, with President Biddle in the Chair.
DR.. Thomas, Chairman of the Committee on
Potatoes, presented two specimens, and he
hoped the gentlemen would give the Com
mittee a call and help to develop this interest
ing subject.
Mr.. MCGOWAN suggested that the reason that
the eyes of the potatoes were so defective, was
on account of the poor light they got from the
City Gas Works. and he shouldn't wonder
that, if they were kept in the dark much
longer, they would become exasperated, and
''shoot." (Laughter.)
DR.. Hall stated that Liebig informs us, after
giving much attention to the subject, that
there is a small insect which gains access to
the potato, and leaves it when it has matured.
One member wanted to know whether it was
the insect or potato that got matured in this
process.
DR.. Hall said that Liebig does not inform us
ON that point.
Doctor Thomas stated that next to
