Ottawa Notes. Orrawa, Aug. 17.
Instructions will be issued to collectors of customs to give more strict attention than in the past to the packing and repacking of cheese in bond so as to prevent changes being made in the character of goods and packages in which they are bonded. Under no circumstances must collectors permit brands on bonded goods to be changed, or any brand or mark added.
Collingwood Schreiber returned to town yesterday. He says the Eastern section of the Cape Breton Railway will be finished in October next, but that the Western section will be a month later, consequently the line will not be open for regular traflic until November. He expects the Oxford and New Glasgow road to be} handed over from the construction to the traffic depart- ment in the course of three or four weeks. The Digby and Annapolis missing link will be completed this season. The traffic as regards the carriage of coal is not so large as usual, the falling off being due to the strike in Springhill. The passenger traftic this summer has been excellent and the road was never in better condition.

The Strike Continues.
Aupany, N. Y., Aug. 17.
There was a large crowd about the New York Central track near the freight bridge across the river to-day. Three freight trains passed during the afternoon, guarded by a squad of Pinkerton men. Each time the Pinkerton men, without provocation, opened fire on the crowd. Three boys and a woman were wounded. The mob stoned the cars, and caught one Pinkerton man and were about to lynch him when the police interfered. Three ‘Pinkerton men were arrested and fifteen persuns are under the care of surgeons. Five citizens were badly wounded. A Pinkerton man in Kast Albany assisted a policeraan who was en- deavoring to arrest one of their number for firing into the crowd. The blockade at West Albany is almost as bad as on the first day of the strike.

John Boyle O'Reilly.
The Boston papers are full of obituary notices of John Boyle O'Reilly, editor, orator and poet. The following is what James Jeffrey Roche, associate editor of the Pilot for the past seven years, and one of the close personal friends of the de- ceased for twenty years, said to a Globe re- porter concerning him :
“John Boyle O'Reilly was the dearest friend [ had in the world, and after daily and hourly intercourse with him in business dur- ing so many years, I can say that my respect and affection every day increased. [ am sure that all those who knew him best feel the same. He was a man who won the love of every one he met by his courteous demeanor and general thoughtfulness, ;
“He wags especially endeared to his em- ployees for these qualitig. He was as olite to the humblest office boy in the establish- ment as to the most prominent men whom he met in a social way. He never commanded anything, but always requested with a smile which made it a pleasure to serve him. faa was the highest type of the kind, seerelts and forgiving man I ever knew, & trait which cannot be better illustrated than by the fol- lowing incident : : ie
“When he was tried for conspiracy in Eng- land, over twenty years #g% & wretched trooper of the oth Hussars and a fellow- conspirator, turned informer to save himself, He told many things which were utterly false, on the strength of which, largely, Mr. O'Reilly was convicted. After Mr. O’Reilly’s conviction the wretched troope was so exe- crated by his English comrades tha! in sheer desperation he deserted and came to this country. One day, several years later, he saw the man whom he had betrayed on the streets of Boston. The two men passed with- out a look of recognition, but the next day the
informor entered the Pilot office, and walking up to Mr. O'Reilly, said:
“You don't know me, do you?’
““*Oh, yes, I do,’ was the reply; ‘I would know you anywhere in the world.’
“The man told a long story of his wander- ings and of suffering for the barest necessaries of life. He begged financial assistance of the man whose life he had betrayed, and he did not ask in vain
‘*Tn all the years I have been associated with Mr. O'Reilly I never heard him utter a harsh word concerning any individual who was instrumeutal in entailing so many years of suffering upon him in British prisons. He hated the system under which they were able the exercise the power, but for the individual he had nothing but forgiveness.
** He had. and with all reverence I say it, the humanity which Christ taught, with mercy and tenderness for all. He hated caste, class and aristocracy, and had uno toleration of distinction based on color or race. He was always on the side of the poor and the oppres- sed. Next to Wendell Phillips he was esteemed by the colored people of the land, and he deserved it, for he was always their true friend.
** While a thorough democrat, he was at the same time the finest gentleman I ever knew. His courtesy came straight from the heart,and was clothed in all the grace of the perfect gentleman.
“Tt was a liberal education to be near him. As a journalist he was most scrupulous and conscientious. The rule which he both gave to others and followed personally, was ‘Never do as a journalist what you would not do as a gentleman.’
‘* The anonymous in journalism was no pro- tection to him,$for he never wrote a line he was ashamed of or did not wish ‘to acknow- ledge.
‘*His capacity for work was wonderful. With a quick decision in everything pertaining to journalism, he had a clear knowledge of what constituted news.
“When he had a lecture or a poem to pre- pare for some special occasion, as, for instance, the Plymouth celebration, he would shut him- self in a room at a hotel, and stay there till the work was done; perhaps for one or two days, as the case might be, and when he came back he would look as if he had been in prison fora month. All his vitality was put into his work.
‘His popularity with men in all walks of life was universal, and yet he never sought popularity, either. Ho was a popular club man, being one of the founders of the Papyrus Club and a member of the St. Botolph, Tavern, Boston Athletic and Press clubs.
‘*His loss in a literary sense is irreparable, because he was one of those rare literary men who had a steady growth. What he did to day was always better than what he did yesterday. Then his versatility was theme for admiration. When he began to lecture 10
some evidence of unfamiliarity with the plat- form, but everybody was surprised at the polished and effective orator they found in him.
** One of the best illustrations 1 ever saw of |
the power of his magnetic qualities is con- tained in the journal of Capt. Hathaway, the New Bedford whaler who rescued Mr. O'Reilly from the Australian penal colony and took him on a whaling voyage. Captain Hathaway not only rescued him from prison, but saved him from recaptnre by a British police crew who boarded the whaler at Singapore.
“ Later, while engaged in the whale fishery, O'Reilly wasin a boat which was stove to pieces by a whale’s flukes, and as he failed to appear after a reasonable length of time, every one supposed he was killed. But the faithful captain refused to believe it, and would not a up the search till he saw the white face
neath the surface of the water. He was taken on board ship to all appearances dead, but after working over him a long time his friend had the happiness of seeing him revive. All this is not in the journal, but it shows the esteem in which he was held by his rescuer,
** The interest of the journal lies in the fact that it begins four hours after Capt. Hath- away had transferred his charge to the mail steamer at the Cape of Good Hope, with a reference to ‘My dear boy, who has just left me,’ and continues for a year and a half with some daily affectionate reference to the young man whom he had so learned to love.
** As a poet Mr. O'Reilly will hold an en- during place among the foremost in American literature not only of his own time, but for all time. Distinctly a poet of thought, he placed form and melody second to the spirit which animated his poetry, believing the body more essential than the clothing. It would be hard to say what is his best poem, though his eulogium on the death of Philli was cer- tainly one of the finest tributes in the English language.”
Mr. Roche in conclusion said that perhaps nothing could better show the nature of the man and the source of affection with which he was regarded by all who knew him than this little poem, written by him- self and published Noy. 2, 1889 :—
WHAT IS GOOD?
** What is the real good ?” I asked in musing mood.
Order, said the law court ; Knowledge, said the school ; Truth, said the wise man ; Pleasure, said the fool ; Love, said the maiden ; Beauty, said the page ;
Freedom, said the dreamer ; ’ Home, said the sage ;
