" THOU EVER STRONG UPON THE STRONGER SIDE."
A NEW WAY OP PLEASING THE PIGS.
We hope our readers will be as much amused as we have been by
the following:—
NOTICE TO SHIPPERS, SHIPOWNERS, AND CAPTAINS.
JOHN BELL, Flesher, Union Court, 172, Argyll
Street, having his attention drawn to the tact, that pigs, when
put aboard ships, if they be strangers to one another, quarrel and
fight, and will eat nothing for a few days, has erected at his own
residence, four miles out in the country, a large Piggery, at very
considerable expense, where a stock of Pigs is kept always on hand,
completely domesticated, by which the inconvenience above alluded
to is avoided, when transferred to ships. And as live stock is
now so essential for Passenger Ships, J. B. has always on hand at this place, a large
Stock of suitable live Sheep and Poultry, aiso Vegetables, Fruit, and Potatoes.
We have not been sufficiently versed in the philosophy of Bacon, to
have observed the tendency of pigs to fight on board ship, unless they
have been previously made acquainted with each other by a formal
introduction. We certainly were not aware that a scrupulous regard
to etiquette was prevalent among the porcine tribe, and that they stood
on such very nice points of ceremony, as we should call humbug in
human beings, and gammon in the pig or other inferior animal. We
are now for the first time made acquainted with the fact that the very
extreme of fastidious etiquette may be called " going the whole hog,"

THE " SPECIAL " EMPEROii.
What more natural than the introduction of the new police

"special?" Did not Louis Napoleon, on a certain day in April, turn
out in defence of order, and collaterally, it may be, in defence of his
own portmanteau in the two-pair back of a modest habitation in the
parish of St. James's ? After this, it is true he turned out, or caused
others to turn out, in " defence of order," on a certain day of December ;
and the turn-out being very successful, why the Empire is the tremendous
result. Nevertheless, the future philosophic historian, profoundly
diving for causes, will discorer in Louis Napoleon's instinctive love
of order, as shown in April in the streets of London—the exile then
keeping watch and ward as a sworn special—the forsworn love of
order as triumphant in the streets of Paris. The Emperor, in lieu of a
constable's staff, now flourishes an imperial sceptre ; nevertheless, we
understand that, in memory of that constabulary event,_ Louis
Napoleon's staff will be enshrined at the Paris Police Station (the
Scotland Yard in French) for the admiration and encouragement of all
the force. Beneath the weapon will run this inscription: " Courage !
He who was once a special constable, is now an immaculate Emperor ! "
