8i PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. [February 23, 1878.
AID TO DIGESTION.
ome few days since, in
a lecture delivered
at the Royal In-
stitution, on the
" Protoplasmic
Theory of Life,"
Professor Garrod
referred to a pre-
paration of " acid
glycerine pepsin,
obtained by Mr.
Bullock's process
from the1, stomach of
pigs," as being " of
great value to per-
sons of weak diges-
tion." At the next
merry meeting of
the Corporation of
London the Remembrancer should call the
attention of the civic authorities to this article.
If peppin extracted from the stomach of a pig
could impart the digestion of that animal to a
human being, it should be an invaluable ac-
cessory to the convivialities of Guildhall, the
Mansion House, and the Halls of the great
City Companies. It might be called " The
Alderman's Assistant." The Common Council_ would do well to appoint a Committee to try and
report upon acid glycerine pig's pepsin, of which special samples might be expressly prepared and
supplied by the Society of Apothecaries. In the meanwhile perhaps some enterprising druggist will
advertise "Pepsin of Pigs. Under the Patronage of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of London.
A real Blessing to the Omnivorous." If pig pepsin would enable men to make pigs of themselves
with impunity, that druggist would make his fortune.
LITTLE SUSPECTED.
(The real came of the Pope's death.)
" The following startling telegram was
received at the Vatican not long before
Thursday the 7th inst. : —
" ' From Kobert Thomson, Minister of
Ladywell Parish Church, Glasgow,
to Pope Pius the Ninth, Vatican,
Rome.
"'If your proposed Papal Hierarchy
in Consistory be promulgated for Scotland,
an interdict against it will be demanded
from the Supreme Civil Court in Scot-
land, and the laws of the country rigidly
enforced against it.' "
Scotch Paper.
Wha killed Pio Nono?
I, said Robin Tamson,
The Ladywell Samson,
I killed Pio Nono !
Gratifying Intelligence.
Cynics have sometimes asked
Can any Lawyer have a con-
science ? " This question is an-
swered by the following, from the
Times:—
" Conscience Money.—The Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer acknow-
ledges the receipt of ' 6s. Sd.' in stamps
for Income-tax."
REGULATIONS FOE THE CONCLAVE.
The voting for the new Pope will be by ballot. Any Cardinal
receiving three black balls will be disqualified for further com-
petition.
All Candidates for the vacancy must be duly nominated, but the
speeches of the Proposer and Seconder are not to exceed twenty
minutes each.
Any Cardinal writing private letters, reading the newspapers,
drawing caricatures, or falling asleep (if under seventy years of
age) during the sittings of the Conclave, will, ipso facto, forfeit his
chance of election to the vacant Chair.
In the selection of servants to wait upon and minister to the
wants of the Sacred College, preference will be given to those who
are dumb.
Any Cardinal, wishing to be shaved or to have his hair cut, will
be required to enter into a bond of not less than a thousand scudi,
not to converse with the barber during the operation.
All letters addressed to or written by the Cardinals, must be sub-
mitted for inspection to the Cardinal Camerlengo.
All body-linen, stockings, &c, sent in to the Vatican by laun-
dresses, will be carefully examined byMonsignor the Maggiordomo,
to prevent these articles from being the channel of surreptitious
communications with the outer world.
Snuff ordered by a Cardinal must be delivered in a packet open
at both ends.
No cigarettes, in their manufactured form, will be allowed to
enter the Vatican ; and all cigarette-paper must bear the signature
of the Cardinal Camerlengo, and be impressed with the seal of the
Sede Vaeante.
The Cardinals may order what they please for dinner and other
meals from the daily bill of fare, which will be prepared every
morning jointly by the Dapifero and the first physician, and sub-
mitted by them for approval to the Cardinal Camerlengo, who
will have the right of exercising his veto on any dish or beverage
which he may think likely to disagree with any member of the
Sacred College.
An English cook will be engaged specially to prepare the meals of
Cardinal Manning.
That the Cardinals may have the means of healthy exercise during
their seclusion, one of the Courts of the Vatican will be fitted up as
a tennis-court. In the evenings every facility will be afforded for
whist, chess, draughts, dominoes, and other games.
A smoking-room will be provided.
_ An arrangement will be made with an extensive circulating
library_ for an ample supply of all the newest literature, both
domestic and foreign, including the best novels ; and the Cardinals
will also have the privilege of borrowing any number of volumes
they please, not exceeding 250 at one time, from the Vatican
Library.
Stationery and writing materials will be provided for the use of
the Cardinals at the public expense, but not postage-stamps.
Each Cardinal will receive a weekly supply of pocket-money, but
he will be expected to render an account of the way in which it has
been spent, every Monday morning, to the Maggiordomo.
No gratuities, presents of game, wine, chocolate, sweetmeats, &c,
will be allowed to be received from Foreign Powers.
Should any Cardinal require a new hat during the sittings of the
Conclave, it must first be submitted for examination to the Camer-
lengo, that he may satisfy himself that no letter, despatch, or
other document is concealed within the covering or lining of the
article in question.
It will be the duty of the Junior Cardinal to carve, pour out the
coffee, sit at the foot of the table, and read the newspapers to those
of his colleagues who are labouring under the infirmities of age, or
who may have mislaid their glasses.
Punch will be regularly supplied to the Cardinals during the
Conclave.
OUR NEW NOVEL,
Notice.
9 We are delighted to be in a position to announce as " in active
preparation, and shortly to be produced" in this Journal, "an
entirely new and original Novel," for which arrangements have
already been made with the Directors of the Direct Novel and
Romance Supply Association (Limited)—by the Author of Folly and
Farini: Under Two Bags ; Chuck ; 'Arry, 'adn't he f and Two
Little Wooden Jews.
We expect the first instalment next week, and we are wishing
we may get it. Due notice will be given of its appearance.
Watch this frame. The distinguished Novelist, with whom we are
dealing, through the agency of the Direct Novel and Romance
Supply Association, is not, we believe, at present in England. But
if there is any hitch, any unforeseen difficulty in obtaining the
MS., no expense, no labour, no trouble will be spared, in order to
enable us to keep faith with the public; and if a journey to Italy,
nay, even to Central Africa, be absolutely necessary, it shall be
undertaken, and the Novel shall be in our hands.
Whatever delay may occur, the fault will not be on our side. The
nom-de-plume assume'd by the Novelist is " Weeder." All we
have to say to this is, " Read, her ! "
Triumph oe Diplomacy.—To secure seats at the Prince of Wales's.
