"PLEASE THE PIGS."
Foreign Pig, we observe, furnishes a topic just now for writers in the daily papers. IRON-ically speaking, pig, in the sense referred to, means a lump of metal; but the World of March 26th has an accidental, though none the less curious, "cross-reading," which brings foreign pig directly into contact with domestic. It says, (the World, not the pig.)
"Protected foreign pig in New-York, $32."
Precisely on a line with this, in the next column, appears the following.
"What between hogs and policemen, drunken women are being rapidly exterminated in Philadelphia."
The World's cross-reading is a capital one, bringing the pigs together nicely, and suggesting the following remarks:
"Protected foreign pig in New-York, $32," very aptly applies to the gangs of imported burglars and ruffians of all sorts who run riot in our midst, and who can generally insure the "protection" of the police by a douceur so paltry even as $32.
Such hybrids as Philadelphia drunken women, "between hogs and policemen," must be extremely disagreeable objects, and we are glad to learn that they are nearly extinct. Here we are much worse off. Rowdy characters, that may well be compared to "hogs," but are not often to be seen "between policemen," are far too plentiful in New-York, and the sooner they are "exterminated" the better.
