What Happened to
Mr., JOSEPH BEACH.
Stone fn the Kidney expelled after using
DR.. David Kennedy's +" FavOrfte REM
edy'' about two weeks.


One of the most remarkable cases that has
ever been brought to the notice Of the public
is that of Mr.. J. s. Beach, of Stone Ridge,
Ulster Co., N. Y. Mr.. Beach had suffered
since October 18th, 1874, from the presence of
Calculus or stone in the right kidney. No
less than seven physicians were employed at
different times, to whom Mr.. Beach paid hun
dreds Of dollars for medical treatment, with
only temporary relief from his agony.
BY the urgent solicitation Of his friends he
was induced to try DR.. David -Kennedy's
"Favorite Remedy Inexperienced marked
improvement from the first day he began to
use the medicine: On the 18th of September
he voided a stone as large AZ could be passed
through the natural channel. -,
Mr.. Beach concludes long letter to DIR.
Kennedy by saying: +" IL will always afford
me pleasure to recommend the 'Favorite
Remedy tot those who may be suffering from
difficulties of the Kidneys and Bladder, or
any disorders arising from an impure state of
the blood. The .Favorite Remedy is sold
by all druggists. The Doctors only address

SAN FRANCISCO.
Terrible ExpIOsiOn---25 or 30
Men Killed.
Giant Powder Works Demolished

SAN Francisco, April 16, via Chi
cago, April 1.-THE Giant powder
works, in District Berkley, across the
bay exploded this afternoon, killing
twelve white and twelve or fifteen
Cinnamon. This is the third explo-
slon the company has sustained, all
attended by loss of life. The explo-
sion occurred in the picking room,
and all at work there were killed.
About six thousand pounds of powder
was in the room. All the victims
were blown to atoms. A large piece
was found Of part Of the skull of a
Chinaman, with the cue attached.
There were six houses inside the
works, and they were all blown to
slivers, but the workmen in them es-
capped, excepting one man in the mag
azine, no trace Of whom was found.
Outside of the works were six houses
including the boarding house for the
hands, all more or less demolished.
The entire cause Of the explosion was
supposed to be carelessness. The
workmen are hired by the piece, and
are directed to use wooden mallets in
picking cartridges, but they found they
could work faster and make MOI
money by using iron hammers, a risky
business around giant powder. It is
supposed that some man hit once too
often, and his cartridge went off, igni-
ting the powder before him, which
communicated with adjacent packages
with the terrible result noted.

Amenities Of Elections In Eng
land.


LOndoA Correspondence New York Times.
The free and independent elections
Of Great Britain arc giving some Of
the candidates taste of their quality.
At one place they pelted poor Lord
John Manners with egg shells filed
with tar. A Mr.. Hugh Mason had to
run the gauntlet of a shower OF stones.
He was in a carriage. The windows
were smashed in upon him, and his
coachman was badly hurt. At Hull
the electors picked up the chairs at a
meeting and threw them at the
speakers. IL was the genial show
man OF America who confessed to
that kind OF reception from a de-
lighted audience. The Hull men, il
seems. were not pleased, nor were the
candidates and the reporters. They
escaped under a shower of chairs.
The back doors of the hall had been
lett conveniently open. At Derby
the electors met 10 the chief assembly
rooms OF the town at night. The
partisans, liberals and conservatives
got too close to each other. The
orating" was varied with a series Of
lights. At last some one put the gas
out. The free and independents
grew mad at this and tore wildly al
each other in the dark. Some OF
these political students were badly
hurt. Mr.. Joseph Cowen, the famous
member for Newcastle ON Tyne, at 0
meeting in a hall which would only
hold 1000 electors, was accidentally
crushed against a balustrade by the
5000 who tried to enter the building

Of voting was not varied with the

A sensible View.

The Paris Intelligencer of this week
says; The kind, courteous and hos
pitable reception by the southern peo-
pie Of Gen. Grant, wherever he has
gone in his late southern tour, is not
only the best evidence of the iorgiv-
ing disposition Of our people, but it is
the exhibition Of our earnest desire
for peace, and the cessation of that
intolerant sectional hatred that is in.
consistent with true patriotism, and
which has been and is still promi-
nent among northern politicians and
their press, and has been the priu-
ciple factor in preventing the
unifcation of the whole country,
upon basis Of real, bread and per.
manent nationality. 1t has also given
the lie most emphaticallv to utter
ances of that part of the northern
press, which seeks to advertise the
south as hostile to the government.
and the results of the war.
We hope that everywhere in the
south, the same consideration will be
bestowed upon General Grant that
has already been accorded him where
ever he has gone among our people.
This will be no endorsement Of Gen.
eral Grants political opinions, or his
past administrations, but only the ex.
hibition of a spirit of hospitality to
one who represents the American
people at home and abroad.

THE congressional campaign in the
second district was opened last Mon
day at cambridge, the county seat Of
Jefferson. Judge Houk, the present
member, led off in his usual style, only
that he became very pathetic when he
denied the charge of counterfeiting,
which he repelled with Indignation.
He was followed by DIR. j. Nat Lyle,
editor of the Watchman, who is.likely
to be Houk's only republican COM
petitor. Lyle seems to be the coming
man, and will certainly be able to
make it lively for Houk. His integ-
rity, courage and ability can not be
questioned. This is a republican dis.
trict by such large majority that nc
democrat seems to stand any chance.

yenient fence from which to view the

ably be respected and the leaders can

GEN. u. S. GRANT, "the greatest of
private citizens" has visited Memphis
and gone. He visited Memphis by
special invitation on the part of the
leading citizens, and was received with
most fattering reception at the hands
of all, and especially the press. Now,
as it is all over, we will only say that
we hope the Memphis press will cease
Its voluminous apologies for entertain
ing him in 80 hospltable a manner
But their apologies seem to indicate
that their reception was, to say the
least, somewhat sincere and hypo-
critical. We are not prepared to say
that General Grant is not worthy Of
the hospitality Of any southern city,
and should have it when occasion re-
quires, but he is no more deserving Of
a special invitation such as Memphis
gave him than thousand other citi-
zens of the United States, and if he
had Of his own accord passed through
Memphis, and had met with such
demonstrations, then could we have
approved fully and cheerfully of the
expression of all parties. We sus-
pect that after the Chicago convention
our worthy contemporaries will dis
play a versa tility in Grant editorials
that will be wonderful Upton Re-
cord, 10Th.
We were not aware that any apollo
gies had been made, or were necessary.
The LEDGER certainly has none to
make on this question, to General
Grant or anybody else. As
matter of fact, which
the Record seems not to know General
Grants coming this way was an
nounced through the associated press
before be was invited to become he
guest Of the city. He was properly
received here, seemed much gratifOd
and that was all there was Of it. Mem.
phis is not SO hide-bound, narrow
minded or full of prejudice as to do .
niggardly thing. Common politenes'
is one thing; politics another. Those
who were big enough and old enough

horrors were often mitigated by acts
OF generosity under flag of truce, or
within the lines ofan aggressive army.
Surely we are not SO uncivilized as to
be less courteous and chivalric in
times of peace. When Gen. Grant
becomes candidate we will treat him
as such. Political colors will be un-
furled, and he will be discussed as a
political opponent-nothing more,
nothing less.

A StupendOus Fish Story.

Savannah News.l
If it we're not for the established
reputation for truth enjoyed by the
Tallahassee Floridian, VIC would not
believe tale it tells in its last week 5
number. 1t says that recently. while
party of ladies and gentlemen were
boating on the wonderful Wakulla
Spring, one of the ladies dropped a
ring from her fRger, and it could
be seen sinking 10 the clear
water. When it had reached q
depth far below the surface a trout
was seen to make dart for and swal-
low it, aud then disappear. OF course,
it was given up for lost, but an ingen-
ious young man present Immediately
borrowed another ring, fastened it to
a hook, and let down his line into the
crystal water. After paying out about
ninety feet of the line, a trout was
seen 10 approach the shining bait, and
finally making jump at it, was trans
