Niobe and Latona.
we remember that when we were the reporter of a respectable country newspaper, we were sent to take notes of the doings of a Whig meeting, and of the speech of a certain Southern orator who had been sent for to come over and help us. After he had finished his nonsense, he approached our humble table with the front of Jupiter.
Sir, said he, do you intend to report my speech?
Certainly, was the response.
Sir, he returned, you cannot do it. You might as well try to report red-hot balls.
We took him at his word; wrote a respectable speech for him and printed it, and thereby, we then did flatter ourselves, saved for the Whigs at the election a very pretty handful of votes.
We have been reminded of this little incident by reading Cause and contrast, which is a highly peppered pamphlet, the parturient pangs of which were borne by Mr. Thomas W. McMahon, now of Richmond, in the United States, Territory of Eastern Virginia, but formerly private secretary of the Hon.

The Albert Pike who led the Aboriginal Corps of Tomahawkers and Scalpers at the battle of Pea Ridge, formerly kept school in Fairhaven, Mass., where he was indicted for playing the part of Squeers, and cruelly beating and starving a boy in his family.
He escaped by some hocus-pocus of law, and emigrated to the West, where the violence of his nature has been admirably enhanced.
As his name indicates, he is a ferocious fish, and has fought duels enough to qualify himself to be a leader of savages.
We suppose that upon the recent occasion, he got himself up in good style, war-paint, nose-ring, and all. This new Pontiac is also a poet, and wrote Hymns to the Gods in Blackwood; but he has left Jupiter, Juno, and the rest, and betaken himself to the culture of the Great Spirit, or rather of two great spirits, whisky being the second.
