Little Brewer, thou hast left us,

But alas, my heart is aching
For thy precious childish love.

And pray my heavenly Father,
That Thou wilthear my humble prayer;
And when Thou art done with me on earth,
Thou wilt receive me there. MOTHER

The following expressions of opinion ON

Senator Herman said of the nomination:
"Any good Democrat can carry New York
against Garfield. To nominate him the ma
chine element had 10 be thrown overheard.
They know that under Garfield they will
have no more 10 hope for than under Hayes,
and this feeling will produce apathy, at
least, in New York. Democratic success
next fall IN that State is unquesiionable."
senator Mcdonald said that Garfield could
make no impression in Indiana; but that i
was possible for him 20 make fair run in
the Eastern and Middle States. Senator
Vest thinks that the nomination at Chicago
Is lucky one for the Democrats. Ben Hill
says that the Cincinnati nominations must
new be made without regard 10 Ohio, and
that man must be taken who can carry
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
No Democrat from Ohio, he thinks, can
row be considered in connection with the
Cincinnati nomination. Congressman Hurd
said Garfield cannot carry Ohio; that he Is
too unpopular in his congressional district
and thai II his district were a close one he
would have been defeated long ago. lie
could not get as large vote In Ohio As
Sherman because he Is not popular with the
Germans, and his record on tariff matters

killed for a Box of Collars.

We hear OF n terrible tragedy which
was enacted NJ Bristol Tue, day night,
in which Dug" Thomas met with al
most instant death At the hands Of
William RAIDER, Thomas was a clerk
in Barker's store, and RAIDER came in
Tuesday night and called for q box Of
collsrs, when Rsder told him Is charge
theta. Thomas told him that was con.
trary TO his instructions, and RAIDER re.
marked that AIr. Barker, proprietor of
the store, had authorized him IL get the
collars that way. Mr.. Barker being in
the back of the store, Thomas stepped
back 10 ask him about it, and he re-
piled that he had given no such author
ity. Thomas returned to the front and
impaired the information, when Rider,
having his knife III his hand, made y
lick at Thomas throat. and inflicted 4
fearful cash, serving the jugular vein,
and causing death almost instantly.
Whether RAIDER surrendered himself or
was arrested we did not learn. AT any
rate he was in custody, and our infor-
nation is that the indignation against
him was so strong that serious fears Of
lynching were entertained, and he was
kept i'll house under strong guard
during the night. Both were young
men, single; in fact, but mere boys, and
We're we'll thought Of III Bristol, rs we
understand. RAIDER had but recently
obtained license to practice law, and
was always regarded rs u very peace
able young man. Thomas, rs before
stated, was clerk in Blrker's store and
universally popular. The tragedy was
source of profound astonishment, rs
well rs deep regret, to all Bristol.
There was once " grudge between the
boys, and this probably mad something
to do with the tragedy, for, from facts
in the case, the proyocation i'll this case
WAS very slight indeed.
