PETS ON WHEELS.—Every gentleman own
ing a stud of horses has his pet among them;
With _precisely the_ same feeling every rail
road superintendent has his pet locomotive.
If, a master-mechanic wants to make a tour
hrough-the-round-sgiouse-Lono-especiallocoi
motive is pointed out to him as the machimi
that wea rs-the-belt,—The-pet-of-Gen.
Custis, of the Camden and Atlantic Railroad,'
was the locomotive Petrel. When appointed
to the important position of Superintendent of
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, General Curtis
almost grieved that he couldn't take with him
the Petrel. Mr. Thomas Dodamead, of the
Richmond and York River and Richmond,
Danville and Piedmont Railroads, is another
Eastern railroad man, transplanted to Rich
mond. Eis pet locomotive, "No. 25," is
one of the finest pieces of mechanism
yet extant; while Superintendent Filmore, of
the Union Pacific Railroad, pronounces No
160 of his road to be the Dexter among the
family of locomotives. For each of these gen
tlemen has been made by Mr. Philip J. Potter,
of this city,;a jewel in the shape of a lantern,
upon the thick glass of which, in the highest
style of the art, are engraven fac similes of
their respective pets. Gen. Custis's Petrel
is a beautiful copy of the .original. She now,
runs the lightning train to Atlantic City. She
whisks it down without turning, a hair. The
lanterns are triple-plated in nickel, and so
contrived that the bottom makes no shadow.
We can, fancy the pleasure with which Gen
Custis will receive this useful reminder of his
favcirite . machine.
LOCAL CuownEn..—The thermometers to.

longer excited as they have been. .Let them
take a rest.
-Some people 'think a newspaper to 'l.e!

—.New York drummers are as thick as black
berries. They are=tilso as industriouA
beavers. No less than eight of them tole
morning were after a brace of extensive cari
pet-buyers. Of the latter, one is from Indian
apolie, the other from St. Louis. The New
Yorkers Made poor headway.
averageAtendance at the Monmouth
Park races, thnslar; has been seven thousand
people. The ladies appear in as full dress a 4
when sitting in opera. As we get this from .1,
Warren Gore, Esq., there can be no tuistaloi
in the matter. The sport to-day is a steephi
chase. At the hurdle race a twenty thousand
dollar horse met with an . accident. He broke
his shoulder. The animal was the well-known
"Lynchburg." As a matter of course, he has
run his last race. The horse " Helmbold" ran
Lis mile in 1.46 i.

which was not serious, is fully covered by in
surance.

MAD Doo.—A dog supposed to have been
inad . was killed yesterday at - Sixteenth' and
Seybert streets.
INTERESTING TO HORSES.—The establish
ment of Monmouth Park at Long Branch has
stimulated the lovers, of the horseat Cape May
to an attempt at proving that "some - things
can be,done as well as others." At Diamond
Beach Park, on to-morrow, will come off a
contest between fast horses of a character cal
culated to bring tears of joy to the heart of
every animal that reads this item. The sport
Will begin with a grand sweepstakes trotting
match. Mr.. Turner enters for it " Fanny
Allen," a quadruped which has made her mile
in -The superiority of this horse is to be
tested by Mr. Goodwin;s• "Harry D." and' a
four-legged beauty known as "Ironsides" and
owned by. J. M. Pettit. In this " Harry D."
will go under the saddle. He is to be ridden
by alialf-grown African, with an avoirdupois
of ninety pounds before diener. time. The
other horses will trot in harness. The animal
doing up' the best three runs - out of the 'five
will put the money in his pocket.
What should now be done is to force the
hackmen at Cape May to be satisfied with
•
double price for the use of their vehicles. As
it now IS, - unless they get four prices, they
grow burly. That the occasion may prove in
all respect/3 pleasant we sincerely hope.
UNIVERSAL CLOTHES WRINGERS.-But One
invention bas held its own in the household,
and that is the Clothes Wringer. We have
used one of those whose name heads this. ar
tide for ten years, audit has done good service
durin,g that tithe, although in weeltly-use.-We
consider the fact that the frame and all party
of the machine are made of wood to be in its
favor. There can be nu possibility of injury
to-the clothes by rust. Another advantage of
this Wringer is that of a patent stop,in - the fain
of a screw, .placed over -the wheels-preventing
them from getting out of gear But the prin
cipal advantage-of this Wringer over others
is the patent double gear.- This is ~ t he
tion of the late Dr. Warren Rowell, and one of
the hest devices in` mechanicalmovements
that has come under our observation for al
long time.—N. Y. Mechanic, Dec. 41869.

CAninintWithin the pasttwenty years the
changes which havetaken place in Camden
have been of the most extensive 'character:
The - number of inhabitants has been more,
than. deubled,_and_an_equal_advance_haS
Observable with-re to - 'private dwelling-,
houses, public buildings said other necessary,
improvements. At that tftne nearly one-hail p
of .what is now built-up parts of the city was
embraced in an area Of &titivated farm-land;
luxuriant fields of corn and grain growing on
portions now containing scene of the most
beautiful and attractive residences in the place:
The spirit of ,enterprise which
was invoked in 1850, and Which
largely comprehended the' importance
of -- Camden; -gave; - -an -impetus to--the'
advancement: of improvements which has
ever , since found profitable investment, in
- real - estate -- hero.' -- Capitaliatif, -- taking - n - dvan- -
tage of the opportunity, bought up large tracts
of these - 'unoccupied lands or at - least all that
could be purchased, laid them out into build
ing lots, and, in many instances, erected fine
houses on them. Others resold their lots
singly to individuals, who built for themselves
houses for their families. Real estate thus
commenced to take a forward movement,
which gradually continuedi until, at the pre
sent time, it is almost double its value at that
period. There are many causes which
tended directly to • superinduce this
result. Camden afforded a cool and
pleasant relief among its umbrageous trees
and gardens against the intense heat of sum
mer ; its social advantages were pleasing and
desirable; its religious facilities easy of access
and acceptable • its educational means of a
high order, and amplitude of its grounds
sufficient to give all the room' necessary to
make a residence; desirable. No point on the
river equalled it in referenceto sanitary intiu
ences, and its close proximity to Philadelphia)
with its excellent ferry facilities, gave addi l
tional importance to it. It contained within
itself elements of rapid expansion, but as capi
al will always seek investment where it find
the best promises of profit, hundreds of
business men from other sections took
up and are taking up their residences in Cam ;
den, and are thus adding to the growth and
prosperity of the city. At no period in the
history of the place since 1850 .has there been:}
retrograde or stand-still in its advancebient4
The improvement of its streets anti highwayS
has been going forward on 'a magnificent
scale; new 'and commodious school-houses,
with largely-increased .accommodation, have
been built; underground and surface drainage
has been attended to; fine church. edifices
erected, and.everything that can coutributd
to the welfare of the citizens has received tipi
especial 'care of all concerned, so that to-day,
Camden is - a city .possessed of those eloinentl
which will make' its future prosperous atel
attractive. • • ;

THE COURTS.
The South Broad Street Outrage
COMMENCEMENT OF THE TRILL
Three Bills of Indictment Against the
Accused.
QUARTER SEsstorts-ATudge Paxson.—A
crowded ' court room this morning was the
result of, the announcement that the parties
implicated in the South Broad street outrage
would be tried. Every "seat in.the court room
was occupied, and the greatest curiosity was
manifested to see the prisoners. Duncan,
who is about five feet three ,inches in height,
stoutly built and apparently 20 years of age,
and bearing in his face the marks of ignorance
and brutality, sat in the dock busily engaged
in fanning, himself, evidently not because of
the beat, but as the result of 'anervousness
which made it impossible for him to keep still.
Bally, who is older than his companion, was
very quiet and subdued in his demeanor.
His appearance -is much more prepossessing
than Duncan's. A high forehead- and fine
drawn lines of the face give to the man an
intellectual appearance in marked contrast to
that of Duncan. There seemed - to be no com
munication between the prisoners while in
the dock.
The two victims of the outrage. were in
court and attracted attention. Miss Jervis is
a young lady, petite, in form, and possesses
efaiins to beauty. She was neatly attired in
white, and bore herself modestly,. keeping
her- face covered with a thick veil. Mr.
Moorby, her companion -on the occasion of
the visit to Broad street, is what would be
styled by..hisAipearance a " dapper" man, of
about the ordinary height, ordinary build,
and by his dress giving evidence of _a tendency
towards the extreme of fashion in his taste.
An elaborately ruffled shirt-bosom was the
striking object in his dress.
The early part of the morning was occupied
with hearing pleas of guilty of prisoners in the
dock: At eleven o'clock the case was called
for trial. There 'were three bills of indictment,
one charging robbery, another assault and bat
tery with intent to kill, and the third assault
and battery with intent to commit an outrage
upon Miss Jervis, a second count in the same
13111 charging the consummation of the offence.
John W. Bakly, - alias Welsh, and William H.
Duncan, ivere put on trial on the bill charging
the commission -of the- outrage upon Miss
Jervis. -
Christian IC.neasS appeared as counsel for
Duncan. Baldy had no counsel engaged. In
the selection of ajury some time was occupied
in asking each juror whether he had formed or
expressed an opijiion as to the
_guilt or
cente of. the'prisoner W.H. Duncan, the
one in whose behalf the questions were put
With but one exception, the jurors answered
.that they-had neither formed nor expressed
an- opinion,some!of them asserting that they
-had - never - heard -- of the - case. -- The one mat,
who had expressed an opinion stated, befor.
the Court could interrupt tdm, that• he be
lieved the defendant " did it." After the jury
had been completed, Mr. Charles W. Honer
appeared for Baldy, and expressed his satis
faction with the jury. -
Assistant District-Attorney Dechert opened
the case to the jury. -

he fired his revolver at me; I moved my head
and the bullet passed me ; can't say anything
about a second shot, as I was partially insen-,

found that Miss Jervis had just got home ; she
told me then of - the outrage.
Cross-examined—The first thing these men
did when they came out was,: they asked-us
what we were doing out that, hour of the
night ; told them it was none of their business.
and the reply was a knock on the head from
Baldy; Duncan presented a revolver, or pis

The witness produced the coat he wore on
the evening in question. It bore evidence of
a struggle, being torn along the back, front
and sleeves.

THE 'MEAL L CHILI 1Y DOG II A.
The Latest luterpretatton,
On Sunday Vicar-General Status, of New
York, explained the Pope's infallibility upot,
the theory that it was merely that of alas'
Court of Appeal. Commenting upon the Vi
c;ar-General's- remarks; the. N: IC. "Post` flayS
These qualifications would seem to reduce
the new dogma to a little more than a peen.
liarity of organization in the Roman church
There must be a last appeal in the organiza
tion on questions of doctrine, and that appeal
is now to be made to the Pope. Those win
do not relish his decisions may go elsewhere.
This is very well, if this sect only claimed
to be an organization for the religious purpo
ses of its own members. But when it -claim:-
to be the only Church on earth, exclusion
from which is eternal ruin; the case is altered
The Pope asserts the right to dictate faith and
doctrine to the world, and :Calls on - all men to
accept them as divine truth, on penalty of ex
clusion from salvation here and hereafter.
The admission that the Pope is fallible "
a man." and may err in matters of "science
and politics," only makes the matter worse.
if he cannot be trusted in the affairs of this
life, how shall we bow implicitly to his
teachings in those of another ? If he cannot
safely decide whether a new theory., of
astronomy or chemistry is true, what coUfi
dence can we have in his insight into other
thoughts of God, more difficult to read, but
more momentous in their bearings, on our
destiny? The claim that the Pope is recog-,
nized as a poor, weak old man of very limited
knowledge, frail judgment and perverse pre.
judices, in all affairs of ordinary human in
terest, and y,gt the very spokesman of the
Deity upon the eternal interests of-our souls, is.
too much like a mere trick of controversy for
the avoidance of a too obvious refutation, to
find much favor in thase days.
..The Blackberry Crop.
The Pittsburgh Commercial, of July 30,
says:
"The supply of blackberries from the Alle
gheny mountains is beginning to arrive in our
marliets, and two trains on the COnnellsville
Railroad carry hundreds of baskets daily. The
berries are picked on the mountains, in the
vicinity of Uniontown, Oonnellsville and
other points on the railroad, and brought in
and QM by the ga l lo4 to dealers, who ship
them at once Ito the 'city., - They are uatially,
shipped in woodenbuckets, holding
_from
eigbt to ten quarts, and these. btickets are sold
at prices ranging from sl=2s down to seventy,
cents, according to the .state of ,the market.,
The pickeni sell - to the dealers at very low rates
--as low as two.cents a quart, thus affording a.
handsome margin' of profit to the' shippers.
It must Jae borne in mind, however, that the,
berries costthe pickers nothing but the labor
of gathering them, as they. .grow wild and in
great abundance, and require but-little effort
to secure. The crop thid season is untemally.
abundant, and the berries are large and lus
cious. It is said that they , cannot all be
gathered, and that thousands of bushels will
be left to waste. The blackberry season will,
be at its height next week, and housekeeperd
should be prepared to take advantage of they
most favorable time for purchasing. The eir.- 1 ,
press and mail trains, on the Olonnellsville
Road, and,the Johnstown Accommodation',
and.the Pennsylvania Road, carry nearly all
the berries brought into this market from the
mountains, and they do a very large business
while the season lasts."
GENERAL GRANT AND HIS ADMINIS
TRATION.
Letter from Senator Harlan, of owa.
The following letter was written by S ator
Harlan, of lowa, to a gentleman in..ol?rij a, in
answer, to certain inquiries concerning" Pres
ident Grant and his administration :
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER, WASH
INGTON, July 20, 1570. -My Dear Colonel : In
reply to yours of the 16th I have to say that
the criticisms of. President Grant arid his ad
ministration found in Southern papers, and
supported by certain Republican papers—so
- the North, are _without sufficient
foundation. ,President Grant's habits, as far
as I am able to learn, and as I firmly believe,
are exemplary in every respect. He is a gen
tleman in his bearing, officially and , socially.
always manifesting great intelligence, both
in* conversation and in the, discharge of
his official duties. He has not always
appointed great men to civil stations,
but,very fees can be , named who are destitute
of respectable talents, and as a rule they are
honest and faithful. And, in this connection,
allow me to say that our government is so
simple in its form' and machinery that great
talents are not absolutely necessary to secure
Success in its administration. Hence, honesty
and industry, supported by medium talents in
public station, ought to be satisfactory to the
people. I therefore think it would be wise.
taking . all into consideration, to continue this
administration another term, and I predict the
people will so decide. That President Grant
has made some mistakes I freely admit; but,
as they were: mistakes and Hot intentional
errors, the presumption is, that they will,
'as far as practicable, be avoided' in the
future. And it is by no means certain
that any of our greatest and most expe
rienced statesmen would not, if in his situa
tion, bare committed errors equally grave.
That the government is, on the whole, being
carefully and prudently administered and the
laws faithfully enforced, without bluster,flutrv,
"fear, favor or affection," no one can truth
fully deny. The honest and faithful collection
of the revenue has enabled the government to
- reduce the public debt at a rate below ten mil
lions of dollars per month, on an average,
since the date of President Grant's inaugura
tion, and warranted Congress to greatly re
duce the rate of, taxation. This ought to be
satisfactory. But there are those who desire
to break down the administration for the" pur
pose: of advancing their own interests ; and I
regret to add that some of them are shining
lights in the Republican party. As to changes
and proposed changes in office to -which you
refer I need only say that, so far as they have
occurred, I am of the opinion the service has
been improved. There are, of course, some
exceptions. I would 'not, with my limited in
formation, have recalled Mr."Mbtley; but he
one can ffncl fault with_ Mr—Frelinghaysen
his successor. The latter is not, probably, the
pqual of the former in' the field of battle: but
Mr. Motley is hardly the equal of the latter
in jurisprudence and statesmanship. Per
sonally I am satisfied with President Grant's
administration. Taking it all in all I doubt if
any one of cur leading statesmen of greater
pretensions wouldi improve it,. I have felt
such a sense of safety and security for
all our free institutions since he came
to the Presidential office, such a tree
dom from solicitude and anxiety,
which pursued me day and night, for two
- years preceilitrzlike an omen of 013 l — that - I
feel like protesting against a change, unless
for the gravest reasons. It is true, as you
state, that some influential public journals of
republican politics have assailed President
Grant; but, they have assailed Congress with
equal recklessness ; and in each case, as[
think, without sufficient reasons. The con
ductors of papers are, like the rest of us, only
human. They have their likes and dislikes.
and are not always wise enough to suppress
the spirit of fault-finding, especially when dis
appointed in their personal aspirations. I be
lieve I have now traversed all your inquiries,
answering them frankly as you requested.
With great respect yours truly,
JAMES HARLAN.
