GREAT LITERARY OUTRAGE
; THE PRIZE CONUNDRUM.
The silver cup offered by the Sable Har
monists for the best conundrum, as might
have been expected, caused much excitement
among the literary and witty clicks of our
city. The opportunity was of a character to
arouse emulation, and in the conviction that
a just and impartial awaid would bo made,
the competion was as general as the aim was
lofty. This high and generous feeling pre
vailing, how has the taste of the community
been shocked, and the senstouities of its
choice spirits outraged, by tho gross and un
paralleled decision of Friday night I We
do not dccuso the Sable Harmonists of col
luion witli their audience; we do not accuse
the audience of an understanding with the
Sable Harmonists, or of having any under
standing at all, but wo do denounce the whole
occasion as being a mockery of taste, com
mon scn3e, nnd even-handed justice.
it may be said that we are unjust : that we
are prejudiced; that we sent in a conundrum 1
W e don't care a what mny be said ;
but to prove that wo are right, we publish
the communications below, after perusing
which we opine that there will be little else
left to say. We wish to be understood we
insist upon not being misinterpreted it isnU
the cup ! We are not in a passion I We
wish simply to interpose between modest
merit and falsejudgmcnt, We know to whom
the award should havo been made. We
don't sav that our reverend and resectable
friend of tho American sent in the following ;
but if lie did, or if any body did, what must
be thought of the befogged, or be-bribed in
tellect which failed to acknowledge its merit!
Why is the Pacific rail road an ignorant
project 1
Ans. Because the Learned would'nt
swallow it!
Or, talking of swallowing, why was the
following, sent in by Fuller, of tho "Em-
n .1 n
lire, passca over (
Why is the Pacific rail road rage liko a
dozen " in the shell?"
Ans. Because it is a few rawr !
We would give other instances, if more
were necessary, to convict the judges on this
occasion of utter imbecility, but we have
said enough for our immediate friends, and
at once open our columns to the following
rush on the part of the town in general ;
Editors of the Reveille:
Gentlemen : I wish to call the attention
of tho Democratic public to tho Whig effort
made on last Friday night to throw a slur
upon his Excellency, James K. Polk, the
Democratic Chief Magistrate of our Union.
I am aware, sir, that the enemy will resort
to any measure to compass the overthrow
of our party, and it is not at all surprising
that at aristocratical assemblies, where they
dress up negroes in broad cloth, instead of
Kentucky jeans, they should attempt to ridi
cule his Excellency ! Not that I have any
objection to broad cloth as afbreign texture,
but because it is customary to put negroes in
homespun diess. By thia I do not wish it
thought that I am in favor of home manu
facture. I believe, sir, thas it everything
was made out of the country it is better lor
those in it. But, sirs, to this insult to his
Mails 1 bee: pardon, his Excellency.
A conundrum was offered for a silver cup by
these negro, Sable Harmonists, and the fol
lowing one was accepted :
Why is James K. Polk, at this mo
ment, like the Sable Harmonists; Because
. .... . . ... j ,
his brow is clouded and ho is o ertoppea oy
the Whigs!
M Now, sir, it is apparent that silver caps,
aristocratic assemblage, prize conundrum,
negroes in broad cloth, and the whole anair,
waBgot up as a direct insult to James K.
Polk.

MRS. DONOVAN'S PIG!
A few days since an Irish lady, residing in
the lower part of the city, was thrown into a
stale of extreme agony, oa discovering, foi
the first time, that a beautiful " female pig"
she had been tending with anxious care and
solicitude was " clano" gone and missing.
In many minds this announcement of the
loss of a pig will awake no sympathy, be
cause thev havo never, like Mrs. D.. w tinded1'
it through the interesting stages of juvenile
porketbood up to the period when its hams
and shoulders had attained a marketable size;
when, in short, it was " hog round" to the
tune or a weigniy consideration, unaiscov
ering her loss, she posted to Justice Butler
for a search warrant, procured it and an oni
cer to serve the document, and then, with her
young son Tim., started off to a pen owned
by a negro near Spruce and Fifth street-
Tim, had discovered the pig in the negro s
pen.
" Is this the road, Tim. 7" inquired she.
" Faix, it is, mammy," responded her hope
ful.
" Thin, afficer, dear," says she, u we'll
soou take it from the dirty nager. Its mcsilf
tha) prayed to the blUscd vargin the day, as I
wint along the street, that I'd get back: me
pig, and, troth, her rivet ince was pintin' Tito.
to the spot at the same time."
Arrived at the pen, Tim. pointed out
the pig, and his mother commenced coaxing
it to her with a loaf of bread. As the other
porkers would divide the bounty of Mm. D.
with her favorite, she grew so excited at the
"onmannerly bastes," that it was with diffi
culty Tim. could keep her out of tha pcn.T j
" Well, Are :s your pig, madam," says
the officer ; u I surrender it into your posses
sion." " And is it in the pen you give it to met"
inquired Mrs. D. s
"Certainly, madam," answered he; !
have found your property, and deliver it into
your possession."
" Oh, yis, plase to do all your juty, Ir
officer, dear, and git rtf me pig."
" What! get In the pen T' inquired he.
" Yis. av cootsc says she ; u wud ye hate
lady climbin' anion? the pigs, whin its your
o WD duty t and, besides, didn't his I tanner
giv' ye the bit paper to get the pig T - " ,"
This appeal was too much isra gaiwnt
man to back out from, so over ho wont among
twenty full-grown porkers, and after getting
covered with mud trom head to foot, he suc
ceeded in getting out Mrs. D.'a pigi and at
lacomg a una to its umki icy, no luiimucm
the ?ord to the lady and her son Tim.. About
fifty negroes had gathered around during the
progi ess of these proceedings, and they were
passing their opinion on me mauer.
M Dai's a funny preceding said the owner
of tho pen "dejdea of white folks steaiia'
a nitrcrer'a pig in day light" ( . . , m
