Show Never Touched the Scotchman. It is related of the late Shirley Brooks that ho had at one tlmo a very favorite pig who, alas, went the way of all pigs, and was converted into bacon. Brooks sent some of tho delicacy to a friend, with a note as follows: "His end waB peace, and I send you a pieco of his end." The joko was related to a Scotchman, who laughed very heartily, and shortly afterward, af-terward, having occasion to kill a pig of his own, sent borne to a relatlvo with the remark: "His end was peaco and I send you a piece of tho pig," and ho wondered why nobody saw tho Joke.
