What the Washington and GeOrvetOyvn
Railroad Company Propose 10 Do.

The managers OF the Washington and George
town r.. X. Co. say they only await the necessary
PERMISSION OF Congress to take immediate steps to
substitute cable system on the whole line OF
their roaos in place of the horse car service 1t Is
not known positively that the change will prove
SATISFACTORY In every respect as the cable system
IS 10 certain extent, experimental. President
Hurt mas made extended and careful exarnina-
IONS OF the whole subject, resulting in determi-
nation on the part OF the company to make the
change, although the expense will be consider
aoie. The experience Of the cable in other
cltlcS is q guarantee that it will not
prove a failure in Washington, particularly
a tne local company proposes TO furnish the best
service attainable aud all the latest improve
entS In regard TO rails. grips, cars and machinery
VIII ne adopted. IL is estimated that the pro-
posed road and Its equipment will cost about
SlO5 600 per mile.
IL Is intended TO run cars direct from the navy
yard to the head OF 14th street, thus doing away
with the transfer system at the junction OF Penn
sylyania avenue and 18th street. slight change
Ia the 18th street route will be necessary. Instead
OF running up New York avenue to 14th street, it
is proposed to carry the line up 18th street to
street. and thence to 14th street. to intersect the
present track at that point. President Hurt says
that il Congress grants authority this session to
make the change the company will commence
operations at once New tracks will be laid and
the space between the rails will be asphalted.

yE Ho3aT

Let us sing Of the Hog, the bucolical
Hoa,
That parades In the farm-yard SO free,
With his grunts and his squeals, and
his piteous appeals
For each edible thing he can soc.
For his hunger is keen at the first
peep OF dawn
And di,ninishes not through the day,
And ut night when he dreams, tits of
dish slops Ia streams
And of cornfields in fruitful display.
As robber unequaled he cares not
for gold,
Nor for aught except victuals and
drink,
lie will steal oil he can, both from
beast and from man,
And then lie ON his stomach and think
But his thoughts do not dwell on his
vices and sins,
But alas! on far different thesies,
For while seeming asleep OH frag
nent mud.heap,
He is hatching theA most villainous
schemes.
He will undermine gates with an en-
gineer's skill,
And whenever garden he sees,
He capsizes the fence with II Joy most
IL
Asad devoSrs the beans and the peas.
He Jvill slaughter n hen should she
Venture too near,
Then v eInor ,elessly plumber her nest;
Ho emf |oys Ill his meals, though the
things that he steals
Always seein.to agree with him best.
Bnt a sold day will come for that
troublesome Hog,
For ir winter his throat shall be slit,
Aud the farm folks with smiles will
recall all his wiles;
as they gobble him up bit by bit.
