TROUBLE In IRELAND,

The unwlse action of England In arrest
Ing several Irish popular leaders has Gre
ated quite a com motion throughout the
extent Of Ireland, and has also caused
considerable excitement in England and
Scotland. The government seems to have
acted In this instance prematurely, and
struck IN aggressive blow before the
Irish movement was yet developed. The
sovernfn ent is always prompt for express

Cancellation or common justice Is never

to pacify its disaffected dependencies.

are provoked to public demonstration OF
their hatred and aversion to such rule,

and the people are coerced Ito silence

Lieutenant OF Ireland Is appointed spec
tally to govern the island with the baroar-
Gus systemEof force and repression, and
noblemen are sometimes entrusted with
this great once who are absolutely unfit
for n mercantile post that requires mod

appointed by the Lord Chancellor, and
are selected from the landlords. and, as

OF the people. The police are semi-mii-

which the Lord Lieutenant is the osten-
aible head. Although chosen from Irish
citizens, they are more thoroughly loyal,
that is, more hostile to their own coun-
trymen, than tho English themselves.
Some OF the Dublin journals are in the
same category. The Daily Express Is the
organ OF the landlords and the disestab-
lshed Irish Church. The Evening Mail
Is another pro- English paper, and upholds
the anti-Irish magistrates. Some other
papers, more or less conspicuous, favor
the government, whether right or wrong,
and advocate English Interests and those
OF the landlords. magistrates and parti-
san police. Some OF the great daily jour

organs are fiorcely national and patriotic.
The conductors OF these patriotic newspa-

and imprisoned. Mr.. Sullivan, member

CINE ABOUT TWO WEEKS.
Ono OF the most remarkable cases that has ever
been brought the notice OF the public is that CT
Mr.. J. s. Beach. of tone Ridge, Ulster Co, N Y.
Mr. Beach had suffered since Oct. 1s. 1874. from
the presence of aculus Stone in the right Kid
ney aud he endured pain month after month moro
than tongue tell. which rendered him totally
unable to attend to his usual occupation. No less
than seven physicians were employed at different
times to whom Mr. Beach paid hundreds of dollars
for medical treatment, with only temporary relief
rom his agony.
By the urgent solicitation of his friends he was
induced to try DR.. Kennedy's tavorits Remedy.
Accordingly the 2Sth day of August last he pro-
cured a bottle of MIR. Kimble, of Stone Ridge, in
this county and strange it may seenn it is none
the less true, that he experlanced marked i'm
provement from the first day he began to Use the
me llrine. He c"ntinued to grow better every day,
when on the 18th of September he yoided stone az
large Az could be passed through the ratura chan
mel, which was very ugh and OF Irregular shape
His joy was unbounded. for he well knew that this
had been the cause of all his trouble. He showed
the 81 one to several Of the physicians who had at
tended him previous to using the Fayorite Remedy,
and ALL of them expressed in unmeasured terms
their surprise at the PROMPTNESS and CERTAIN
TY with which the Favonte Remedy had acted.
Nor did they seek to hide their pleasure at seeing
Mr.. Beach so happily relieved of his difficulty.
Mr.. Beach concludes a long letter to DR.. Kennedy
by saying: indeed have made great dis
covery-one that has and " Il continue to prove .
real blessings boon to suffering humanity: and it
will always a&ord me plt asure to recommend the Fa-
