The Wing National Convention.

The Wing City Convention of Baltimore have
issued the following invitation and welcome TO
their brethren throughout the Union;
TO THE WINGS OF THE UNION.
The undersigned have been directed, by the
Wing City Convention of Baltimore, to solicit
the attendance of their fellow Wings from all
parts OF the Union, at the meeting of the Nation
al Convention, on the 10th June
The invitation which they are instructed to
extend, is on behalf not only of those whom they
Immediately represent, but of the body Of the
Wings of Maryland. On memorable occasions
heretofore, our fellow Wings have honored us
by assembling here in council We are not a
ware that they have cause to tax us with the
lack Of cordial welcome.
II kindly intercourse and tho interchange of
opinions and good offices have contributed on
former occasions to strengthen the bonds Of good
fellowship, such consequences, more than ever,
must follow from them now. The thought that
the Union has been in danger must make the
feeling of brotherhood more warm, when breth-
rem of all sections in the name of the Union,
are met TO consult for its continued preserva-
ton
Let our fellow Wings, then, from all quarters,
bring themselves among us. Let their delega-
tons be numerous, enthusiastic and confident.
The inspiration of their presence will give the
vlgor of triumph to the first blow of the fight.

Wool. The Plttsburg Daily Journal publish
es the following remarks on the wool trade. and
endorses u as from one who thoroughly under
stands his subject:
q" Very liite, as yet has been done IN that
important staple ofour country. Cold weather.
and an exceedingly late spring, has kept the
growers from clipping their sheep, consequently
very little will be done tIl June. This time last
year eastern manufacturers had their agents in
the country, spectators aud dealers wer. IN the
market, and a general anxiety to purchase
lhs year. matters present an entirely different
aspect; no orders have been sent out, and very
few, 1T any, agencies have been made. Our
dealers talk Of the extremes Of 20 to 3} cents
for common to full blood, and thrtv-fve cents
for strictly prince which il d decline Of fully 10
cents per pound, from The opening prices Of the
last year
1t IS generally conceded the clip will be heav-
Ter than usual. Very few sheep were killed
the past winter Tor the pelt and tallow. and
a natural result as we have been informed bv
those experienced in matters. is an increase in
the weight Of the Aeeces, from the severity of
the winter One thing is very certain. wooden
goods are unusually low; and in the face of an
easy money market in the east, still declinino.-
The manufacturer says he must get wool lower
than last year or stop"

Important in regard 10 the 7ehuaniepec Right
/ Of nay. Men York, June T. The Washington
correspondent Of the Courier, says, "1here IS
little reason to doubt that the United States eau
secure the right of way across Tehuantepec from
Mexico, and so far as the government Is con-
cerned, no more is needed The new minister,
NJ. Lanainger, Is charged with ample instruc-
tons to that effect And am induced 10 assert
tins opinion the more confidently for a reason
which, undiseosed heretofore, may now be IN
derstood by the public without any disadvantage
to either side.
The | lth article of the treaty of Guadalupe
/ tlldalgo provides for the protection Of the
Mexican frontier against Indian incursions and
! depredations. Owing to the wanton and culpa-
! BILE neglect Of Congress to furnish the necessary
means Of defence along the line separating the
territory Of the two countries, serious incursions
have been made by the fierce tribes of Indians,
accustomed to roam in that region, attended
with large losses of property and life. IL IS
estimated that claims amounting TO three MIL
hons OF dollars have already accumulated here
under the Convention referred to- and that seven
or eight millions more are in progress of presen'
tation.
Foreseeing the difficulties that were to ensne
m the course of time, and the future compiler
tons that might arise with Mexico, overtureS
were made to extlngush this part of the oblga,
ton IN the treaty, and the administration offered
Mexico three million dollars TO expunge the
llth article. Mexico signifed willingness TO
ncgotiate, but demanded ten millions for the re-
nunciatlon. This suggestion was promptly re-
PEELED, and the negotiation remains suspended

GEN Scorr.- The following tribute TO the
character OF Gen. Scott is the more lnterestinr
as beng voluntary Offering to merit, by a great
and good man, at time and on an occasion orr.

turhing influences Of party spirit.
II may be found in the fifth volume of WIN. T..
Cummings published works, in his preface to his
Lecture ON War, delivered in the year 1888:
"Mucb also is dino tn the
beneticent influence Of Gen. Scott. To this dis
hngushed man belongs the rare honor of uniting
with military energy and daring, the spirit of a
phllanthropist. His exploits IN the field, which
placed him IN the first rank of soldiers, have been
ohscured by the purer and more lasting glory Of
pacihcator and friend of mankind. In the
whole history otthe intercourse of civilized COM
munlties, we doubt whether brighter pare can
be found than that which records his agency in
the removal of the CherokC Us. As far as the
wrongs done to this race can be atoned for. Gen.
Scott has made the expiaton. In his recent
mission to the disturbed borders of our country.
he has succeeded, not much by policy as by
the nobeness and generosity of his character. by
moral influence, by the earnest conviction with
which he has enforced, on all with whom he had
10 do the obligations Of patriotism, Justice hu.
mainly and religion. 1t would not be easy 10

"Non Omnis Morior."

die not all-for word Of mine
Once lodged in an old mans ear;
Twas a word Of faith in name Divine,
a tone hc was waiting to hear.
His brow was smooth like the shining stone,
Where sculptot's chisel hath been;
Like shreds of clouds had his gray locks gone
His voice was husky and thin
die not all-for thought Of mine
Caught young mans soul with fire;
A clarion note was the stirring line,
That was struck from my trembling Tyre /;
He had moped for days in the forest shade
With deadened will and eye;
His heart was low, for trust betrayed,
And he bowed his head to die
die not all-for an infant child
Had a spirit talk with me
Intent he lay, with an eye as mild
And deep as the dreamy sea.
That talk will haunt all his boyish days,
And come in whispers at night;
And the sad, sweet spell of that mystic gaze
lie may never divest of its might
die not all-for myriad things,
That will live and think and do,
Have felt my life in their secret springs,
And will feel it, their being through.
Uc die not alive shall live on earth
In the words and deeds of the Past;
And death, to the soul is Il glorious birth, .
Where no seeds of decay lie cast.

He's None the Worse for That.

What though the homcspun suit he wears,
Best suited to the sons of toll
What though no gold leaf gilds the tongue,
Devoted to congcnial chat
fright prevails, and not the wrong,
The man is not the worse for that.
What though within his humble cot,
No costly ornament is seen
What though his wife possesses not
Her satin gowns of black and green
What though the merry household band
IIslfnafcd fly to ball and bat
If Conscience guides the heart and hand,
The man is none the worse for that.
True worth is not thing of dress
OF sp!endor, wealth, or classic lore;
Would that these trappings we loved lcas,
And clung to honest worth the more
Though pride may spurn the toiling crowd,
The faded garb, the naplcss hat,
Yet God and Nature cry aloud
The man is none the worse for that.
