JOHN BRADLEY.
.opic r. Read, in Texas sistings

Oplc r. Read in cNaS SI.ungs.
 No night was so dark, no wintry bias, so cutting ,h., John Bradley ever refused to leave his bed to extend the hand of charity. \ poor man, in a worldly sense and indeed living monuments of soul kindled sympathy nearly always are yet in the richness of good deeds he was millionaire. l we'll remember the first time ever saw him. can never forget the last. The first time he was standing over burly man whom he had knocked down for speaking lightly of lady who passed along the side~ ak. The last time-well, as faithfully as hand can execute an honest effort will relate the facts, gloomy as their very recollection makes me feel:
 One day, while in neighboring town, met Bradley. He had come out to paint church, and was on his way to the building. After exchanging few words, passed, and had gone but a short dis tance when q loud cry of "git out of the way..' caused me to turn back into the main street. People were hurying from the thoroughfare and seeking refuge in neighboIing stores. soon discovered the cause of the panic. A team of horses attached 10 wagon tore madly down the street, and bobbing above the sideboards the head of child was seen Some one rushed from the sidewalk, and seized one of the horses by the bridle. l knew in He struggled with the strength of a hero, and had succeeded in turning the team toward a wall. when he was lifted from the ground. thrown down, and run over by the wagon. The horses stopped. The crowd rushed up. Poor Bradley was fear fully mangled. One of the horses had planted his iron hoof on the brave mans breast. Life was almost extinct when we took him up, and when we laid him on d bed he mutiered something and said :. Poor Mary These were his last words.
 His friends brought coffin from the city. and l went back to town on the train that carried his remains. knew noth- ing oi his domestic relations. and even now wish there had been no revelation. knew not where his family lived, but as passed alopg lonely street hearse stopped d, a door. Held by the force of a strange awe, l stopped when the wheels oi AaiC NCittiC OdINCh dS SdllSt inC Slonc curbing with an ominous grind Sev- eral men slowly approached, and then, with piercing shriek, woman came out. One of the men gently took her arm, but she tore away from him. and wildly swaying her arms, exclaimed:
 = My God, why hast Thou forsaken me-"
 Women with their gentle touch came, and with soft words tried to hush the wild cries of the heart-broken widow. but she threw her arms wildly around. Strk- ing the coffin she grasped the cloth-cov- cred depository of death, and pressed il, to her bosom. as a wild vail went up from her soul, and then opening wide her lustreless eyes, she pressed her forehead agains, the glass that covered the dead mans face. A man turned to me and said:
 ' The poor woman IS blind. She has has not seen her husband for five years"
 Her will motions were then explained. She was feeling for the coffin, and. ind ing 1t. tired to force away the darkness with the mighty effort of despair.

ONLY A LINE.

Only a line in the newspaper, That some body read aloud At a table of lanRuid boarders, To dull, indifferent crowd. Market reports and a marriage, And the reader read them all. How could he know hope died then And was wrapt in a funeral pail Only llne in the paper, Bead in a casual way, But the glow wcn' out of one young life And left |, cold and gray. Colder than bleak December, Grayer than walls of rock; The reader paused and the room grew full Of laughter and idle talk. If one slipped of to her chamber, Why, who would dream or know That one brief line in the paper Had sent her away with her woe Away into a lonely sorrow, To bitter and binding tears Only line in the paper
 But II meant such des olate years

How New York Business Men Will
Vote.

The Democratic nominations at Chicago are
heartily indorsed by the business men ofNew
York, irrespective of party. When Cleve-
land S nomination was announced on the New
York Produce Exchange there was immense
enthusiasm, wich seemed to take the form
of an immense ratification meeting, and the
scenes on the Stock Exchange were hardly
less enthusiastic. The current expressions
indicate the drift of sentiment among the
solid men of New York.

Republican: cleveland will be elected and

there was no comparison. cleveland assure

best possible nomination that could have

The ADVOCATE has recently said that John
Kelly's opposition or endorsement of the
Democratic ticket was matter of no special
importance this year. The Democratic ma
tional convention took the same view, and
nominated Mr.. Cleveland over his protest
Since the nomination Mr.. Kelly has been
sulking, and refusing to say what he and
Tammany Hall will do. Many members of
Tammany are disgusted at his course. Some
of the leaders are warm in advocacy of Cleve-
land and Hendricks, and several district or
ganizations of Tammany have not waited for
the general society, but have endorsed the
nominations. Kelly is even threatened with
loss of position and power, and unless he
comes up squarely and supports the ticket,
and that speedily, he will be displaced or the
Society will be disorganized. Mr.. Kelly can
not control the organization against the Dem
ocratic party. He may have been powerful
in that line heretofore, but he cannot do 1t
this year. There is no reason for objection
to Cleveland on the part of Tammany, and
Mr.. Kelly cannot control.

CLEVELAND And HENDRICKS.
The Democratic National Convention Finishes
its Work.

Last week the ADVOCATE was obliged to go
to press before the Democratic ticket was
completed. 1t announced the nomination of
Cleveland on the second ballot, but was un-
able to give any proceedings, on account of
the interruption of telegraphic and telephone
communication by the storm. The operators
here were driven from the telegraph Office,
and telegraph and telephone connection had to
be cut off for nearly two hours.
THE SECOND BALLOT.
The second ballot was commenced at 1l.20
on Friday morning of last week, and some
time was consumed in its taking An effort
was made by the anti Cleveland men to con-
centrate upon some man. Hendricks was
mentioned, and it looked as though there
would be stampede to him. The Cleveland
men were firm and steady, and when Penn
sylvania withdrew Randall and gave Cleveland
AZ of her votes the scare was over. Then
Tilden's name was mentioned. Another
shout went up, but the expected stampede
did not occur. New York voted for Cleve-
land solid, and number of states Maryland,
North Carolina, Virginia and others changed
their votes, the ballot showing that Cleveland
had 1877 more than the necessary two-thirds
required to nominate. After this result the
nomination was made unanimous. Following
is the vote by states after changes:

IRON TONIC AND BLOOD
PURIFIER,

The only preparation of iron in solution in
which the iron has not been oxidized OrruSted.
Everyone knows that iron in most any form
is IA good tonic; but when you have prepa-
ration of iron in solution, in which the iron
has not been rusted, you have a superior ar
ticle. Iron when oxidized or rusted has most
of its life or virtue destroyed.
This preparation is as hmpid and trans.
parent as spring water, and readily assimi-
lates the food taken into the stomach, the
only means Of reaching the blood, and in that
manner penetrating every part of your system.
fyour physician prescribes tonic for yon
call his attention to this preparation and he
will tell you that it must be the best.
This preparation has been tried and tested
by competent physicians and pronounced the
best, and not single individual that has used
it to our knowledge but says that they have
been greatly benefited. Besides it has made
cures in cases that physicians had treated for
years without success. It's certain remedy
in anemia, nervousness, dyspepsia, chlls and
fevers, and all diseases incident to malaria.
Female diseases, kidney and urinary or
gans, lost vitality, impotency, rheumatism.
and in convaleScence from debilitating dis
eases, and, in fact, in all cases requiring
tonic, it is the best.

In giving press opinions on the Democratic
ticket we have only quoted from Republican
and Independent papers. Democrats, every
where, are enthusiastic over the ticket. Every
Democratic paper heartily supports it, and
but little detection is reported in any section.
John Kelly and few of his lieutenants are
hesitating, few dynamiters, supposed to have
been Democrats, have endorsed Blaine, and
a man or two elsewhere. Cleveland and Hen
bricks will practically get the unanimous
Democratic vote, while in addition thousands
of Republicans in the North and East will
support them. With one exception, every
Republican and Independent Republican pa
per that revolted at Blaines nomination, is
now supporting Cleveland and Hendricks.
