ToUcHING THAT WALL STREET HoG.


From the n. Y. MirrorI
Since the Mirrors passing alluslon, the oth,
er day. to that Wall Street Hog, we have had
frequent calls for a fuller description oil the
animal. Almost every person we meet seems
tobave had some personal acquaintance with
the dirty beast, and is anxious to compare
notes" In fact, the brute Is so generally
,.,,,,,,, ,ve are inclined to believe that in
.,ood Of one there is legion of these ''crt.

,oore If centuries ago. But IA faithful por-
trait of one would be fair likeness of all;
and to .,io the subject justice" we should
want to borrow quill from the 'fretful por-
cupine."
The particular hog that we have in our
minds eye is a very fat one BY fat we mean
rich. He is one of those selfish feiiSws that

has made his money by what is called mote
shaving" graduating the depth of the cut by
the necessities of his victim. lie has keen
eye, sharp, not brilliant; and can tell at a
glance the degree of anguish the applicant is
suffering, aud the rate of per centage his
agonies will bear.
During these stringent times in the money
market his greedy gzzard has gloated over
QUARTER FER CENT a DAY, which is one dollar
for the loan Of one hundred dollar for four
days; or nearly one hundred dollars year
for the use of one hundred dollars for the
same time-cent per cent, friend Of ours
has been entirely eaten up in this way by the
Hog in question within the last five or six
years. and now that there is no more blood
or juice in the victim, the very bones are
shouted over insultingfy and determination
manifested to hold the lifeless carcass by pro-
cess of law.
And yet this Hog is a biped in human shape,
whom the nomenclature of natural history
compels us to call man. lie wears fine clothes,
lives in splendid palace, and Knocks Heaven
with his loud "Amens" in splendid church.
He is past fifty years of age, and within,
probably, twenty five years, at furthest. of
being screwed up in small box and hid away
from the light of day to all eternity. And
yet success in the pursuit of money, regard,
less of any means not in open violation of the
civil law, enables him to perseeute and pros
ecute his victims with the most fendish vim

1t is such heartless, souless, devish human
Hogs as this that reconcile one TO the old or
thodox belief in hell as 'dvine Institution"
