About ten years ago Hoesier
 picked up twopigs in Pennsylvania
 which struck him as odd, and brought them home for an experi- ment. The peculiarity of these pigs was that they had hoofs like a mule-no splits, but just one solid foot. Another feature that struck the wandering Hoosier farmer was that his purchase, as they grew larger, looked suspiciously like razor-bacKs, the long shouts being especially conspicuous. This led to an investigation of a genealogi- cal nature that was at first not re. assuring, as wild-eyed rumor was run down to the effect that
 these porkers with the queer pedal extremities originated in Arkansas and were perhaps descended from the veritable breed that was found
 roofing around the unroofed cabin of the celebrated "Arkansas Traveller" Veracious chroniclers
 insist that the original razor,back ran wild along Red river and through the canebrakes of the lowlands, and they trace the mule foot" in a direct line to these plebeian forefathers. How ever this may be, it is matter of pig history that the Arkansas farmers round up what they call "mule-footn hogs, much the same
 as they hunt Sir Reynard Fox-with dogs, rifles and clubs. In fact, 1t is a favorite amusement to organize into expeditions and pursue the heet-footed "mule-footn as he scampess like deer through the fastnesses bordering the bayous"
 The above excerpt we take from "An1erican Farmer, paper pub. lisbed at Indianapolis, Ind. and in its effort to be smart, at the ex. pense of Arkansas people, it develops a degree of ignorance of history ths.t would be inexcusable in any one save the Hossier. The muie-foot hog is not only not a product of Arkansas, out so far as we are able to ascertain, was never known to invade its territory ex- cept as part of a travelling menagerie, and as such was so great 2 curiosity that people would

no BE removed by Dynamite.

The sunken hulks of two old barges which
have been lying off Colonial Beach for the
past year are to be blown up by dynamite,
In order to prevent damage to the bathing
beach at the resort. The barges were for
merry railway transfer lighters and were
used for moving cars from one side of the
river to the other at New York. About two
years ago they were brought to the Poto-
mac by the Tangier Sand Company, and it
was proposed to bring sand and gravel from
points down river to this city TO I'LL some
contracts the company Is said 10 have had
with the government The barges were old
and began to leak badly, and while lying at
Colonial Beach about a year ago they sunk
The town council at the Beach endeavored
to make the owners of the old boats re-
move them, but the company had gone out
of existence and nothing could be done Not
long ago the contract for the blowing up OF
the barges was given to Mr.. Heath of this
city, and next week the wrecks will be de-
stroyed with the use of dynamite.

Demise of Colored Man While Near
18th and B Streets.

Augustus Spriggs, an elderly colored man,
was found dead this morning about O'Clock
on the hay lot at 18th and b streets. He
had been known about the hay market for
number of years, and earned a livelihood
by doing odd jobs for merchants
Spriggs was always willing to work, and
never lost an opportunity to earn money.
He was not strong, however. and was there
fore unable to perform hard labor. Recent
ly he had complained of feeling sick, and
this morning when he was seen on the lot
ii was thought that he was merely slightly
i'll. A message was sent to the Emergency
Hospital and the ambulance responded,
with DIR. White In charge. The doctor found
that life was extinct. and the body was re-
moved to the morgue.
Acting Coroner Glazebrook made an ex-
animation of the body later in the day, and
found that death was due to natural causes.
