story:

stood at her garden gate, holding by her
right hand son of sixteen years old, mad
with love Of sea. " Edward" said she, "they
tell me the great temptation of scaman's
life is drink. Promise me, before you quit
your mothers hand, that you will never
drink. Said he, for he told me the story,

Vermont, rose up before me and to day at
sixty, my lips are innocent Of the taste of

Was not that sweet evidence of the power
of single word? And yet it vas but half !;

the Loyal Nationa! Union Journal" pub.
lished at Brownsville, Texas. 1t is small,
three. column sheet, but is chuck full Of I'm.
ion spice. From an article in it we lcarn that
there was dispute between the 10th and
Goth Wisconsin regiments as to which had
killed certain wolf. The editor says the
matter fairly threatens to out,do Schleswig.
Holstein in its complexities, and then at.
tempts the following explanation:
The wolf was refugee from Mexico, and
by crossing the Rio Grande got on this side
OF the river, which it wouldn't have done il
it had stayed on the other side of the river.
When it got over here, the 10th and 10Th
got after it, and there being more of them
than there was of the wolf, the wolf run,
and finally, as last resort, jumped into the
lagoon and was followed by the two reg.
ments. Here the great contest took place.
The wolf ran into the water, and the goth
ran in after him and hit the 10Th on the head
with board. and the wolf then pulled the
Goth out Of the water by the tail-we mean
that the wolf hit the 10Th on the board, and
the tail run in and pulled the goth oot, and
well, its all mixed up, but that's the way
it was anyhow

AIessrs. Seward AID Weed have arranged
with Senator Morgan, who is head of the
national committee, that the Baltimore

adjourn to some day in August or Septem-
Der. Lincoln's patronage will be used, down
to the last moment, in electing delegates,
and in organizing the convention. For the
adjournment, nobody will be responsible,
and the ATTEMPT will be made to fool the
President down to tho moment OF the ad
journed convention. If his eyes are once
open to the fact, be will see that the move
ment is fatal to him. .....
Senator Morgan is not without asplra-
tions for the presidency or vlce-presl-
dency.
Mr.. Chase particular friends have been
urging postponement of the Cleveland
convention to the 9th June at Baltimore,
in hopes of debating the name OF the am'
bilious secretary to the convention Oh the
succeeding day. The Fremont ca.narilla
rsluct at this, and have broken with POM
eroy, Opdyke, Stevens & Co.
Fremont is urged to address to the Cleve-
land Convention letter declining NOM
ination, but vigorously attacking the ad,
ministration, aud presenting tue name OF
Grant. He awaits events. Nothing is 50
certain as that Lincoln must fall under
these concerted enemities. A political an
aconda is folding about him.
