Boston, Aug. II. John Boyle
O'Reilly, the poet and editor of The
Boston Pilot, died suddenly of heart
failure at his summer residence in Hull,
about A o'clock yesterday morning.
Saturday he was at his desk in The
Pilot Office, apparently in the best Of
health. Saturday evening his brother
in-law, John R. Murphy, was at Mr..
O'Reilly's house, in Hull, and when at
1890 he returned to Hotel Pemberton,
where he is stopping, Mr.. O'Reilly ac-
companied him. During Mr. O'Reilly's
absence his wife, who is an invalid, re-
tired. She awoke between 2 and 8
o'clock yesterday morning and, motto
ing that her husband had not retired,
stepped into the sitting room, where

was unable to arouse him and medical

has been sufferer from an affection of
the heart for several years, and for some
time past has been afflicted with insom-

for years and is completely prostrated
by her bereavement. Mr.. O'Reilly left

Injudicial feeding of horse often
produces more baneful results than does
overwork When a horse is constantly
kept upon food as concentrated as he
can bear there is necessarily tendency
to Inflammation and consequent lame
ness, but lameness is more certainly
produced with sudden changes from
bulky to concentrated food, and that on
the day when his feet are to be most
severely tried by concussion on hard
road. 1t would be safer to abuse his
digestive organs one day and his feet
another than to abuse them both at the
same time.

PAUPERISM IN ENGLAND.
Poor Law Inspectors Report Lunacy
Spreading Rapidly - The English
Tramp Schemer.

Poor Law Inspectors Report LunacJ
Spreading Rapidly = The English
Tramp Schemer.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE depart.
ment of state has received an interest.
ing report from Mr.. William P Smith,
commercial agent of the United States
at Huddersfeld, England, on pauper1sm
in that country. The most remarkable
feature of the report made by the poor
law inspectors of Lancashire county,
Mr.. Smith says, is that while the march
of pauperism is held pretty well in
check, the progress of lunacy appears to
be spreading with startling rapidity. In
1880 there were $500 lunatics in Lam
cashire county, while in 1890 the num-
Der had increased to 1900. In England
and Wales, in 1880, there were 81 900
lunatics, while the report of 1890 shows
an increase of $4,000. The total cost to
the county of Lancashire for
Maintaining Its Pauper
during 1889 was nearly S1,900,000. In
England and Wales the cost during the
same period was S21 ,000, 900, during the
years from 1880 the cost of pauperism in
these two countries had increased SS4,-
100000. Tramps, although classified as
paupers, are not included in the above
figures. Mr.. Smith says that it is char
acteristic of the English tramp, when
driven to the necessity of choosing be-
tween the poor house and starvation, to
compromise, if possible, by Stimulating
lunacy and becoming an inmate of an in
sane asylum. In 1880 there were 1857
tramp paupers in England, while in 1890
the number increased to 5,434.

LIKE most garments and most carpets,
everything in life has right side and a
wrong side. You can take any joy, and
by turning it around find troubles on the
other side; or you may take the greatest
trouble, and by turning it around find
joy on the other side. The gloomiest
mountain never casts a shadow on both
sides at once, nor does the greatest of
life's calamities.

The Maryland experiment farm tried
to raise enough wheat for its own flour,
and in doing so learned much about the
ways of the men with whom the farmer
has to deal. One of the peculiar facts
related is that the railroad company
which charged s1O.94 for carrying the
wheat only a part of the way to mill
charged only-$5 for carrying the flour
all the way back. Another was that
the wheat delivered at the mill was
worth only S205, while the miller's price
of the flour made therefrom was $262,50
or $3.50 for grinding. The report
says: at is substantially true that the
conditions which now control his business
and prey upon it force the Maryland
farmer to produce wheat enough fer two
barrels of flour, in order to provide his
family with one." And that's what's
the matter with farmers in other States
as well.

SHEEP RAISING.

1t has not been great while since the
most dissatisfied people in the country
were those whose staple farm stock was
made up of sheep. In almost every sec
ton, three or four years since, enterpris-
ing men, well equipped for management
of flocks, were placing their stock upon
the market, determined to sell regardless
of prices. The same men, though, are
now-many of them-as eager to be-
come flockmasters as they were to flee
from that pursuit Stock sheep have for
two or three years been in good demand
at relatively strong prices, and to-day
there is more feeling of security in that
branch of stock raising than almost any
other Readers of the StOckmGn of a
few years ago will remember the advice
of this journal to stand by the flock, let
influences affecting the business be what
they might. The discOuragements which
have attended it from time to time have
of course, initiated against it very
strongly, but it is equally true that
everything else connected with farming
has gone througha a period almost equally
discouraging. The wisdom of holding
to sheep has been thoroughly vindicated,
and the man, who now has a good flock
has ahead of him as positive certainty
of substantial returns from his business
as has any other man whose work is con-
nected with the farm. There are those,
however, who do not expect this state of
things to continue through term of
years, yet we can not but think that the
prospects ,of.sheep- raising are as bright
now as they have ever been at any time
in the history of the country.
