projected western railroad extensions o
the companies centering in that city, say.
Of this road. which proposes to make
IJaspcr and lIuntingburgh, both point,
on its line as follows:
Another spur line is projected from
the Ohio and Mississippi road. at pcin,
at or near Shoals, and running thence
south-ward to Rockport ON the Ohio, to
connect with the OwensborO' and Nash.
Vile road, now in process Of construc.
jtiOn.
This line has already completed its or
IganizatiOn under the title Of ItockpOrt
and Northern Central Company, and
has secured liberal appropriations by
Taxation from the different counties
Through which this road will -ha located.
The parties having the work in charge
are men Of energy and ability, and they
are sanguinc Of success.
The special importance to this city.
and 10 the Ohio and Mississippi Rail-
road. will be in opening the railway
traffic Of the Green river country. one
of the richest tobacco sections Of Ken
tucky. and which now has no direct ia
cilitics except bv river.
Hitherto Evansville and Louisville
have rcaped some OF their richest har-
vests from this field. but this railway
line will give this section spccdicr con-
ncction with Cincinnati than i; now has.
and probably ever will have with either
Of tho other points named.
The present able management Of the
OLio and Mississippi road will doubtless
be extended to this new AMI important
feeder as soon ms tho Branch is compile
ted. and VIC trust that our city and citi-
zcns will give the enterprise all the en-
c0uragcmcnt which its Immediate i'm
pOrtancc To us makes il merit. Our true
policy in reference 10 all the railway
lines which terminate here is to encour-
age ever extension. for with their pros

Of our lines is the same addition TO the
business and capital Of our city.
Other cities may. II they choose, try
to increase their wealth and prosperity
by placing Obstructions to commerce,
and seek 10 retain present business by
all other improvements - but
the true policy Of our city. and, indeed,
Of the age itself. is to add 10 our facili-
tics, and by the frecst and fullest compc-
tition secure the surcst and most rapid
growth. To all our new enterprises wei
extend cordial greeting.

DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER.

Persons unacquainted with the structure and
functions of the Kidneys cannot estimate the
importance of their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action Of the Kidneys
is as important, nay, even more so, than regu-
larity of the bowels. The Kidneys remove
from the Blood those efiete matters which, if
permitted to remain, would speedily destroy
life. A total suspension Of the urinary dis
charges will occasion death from thirty-six to
forty-eight hours.
When the Urine is voided in small quanti-
ties at the time. or when there is disposition
to Urinate more frequently than natural, or
when the Urine is high colored or scalding
with weakness in the small of the back. it
should not be trifled with or delayed. but Kos
koo should be taken at once to remedy the
difficulty before Lesson of the organs takes
place. Most Of the diseases of the Bladder
originate from those Of the Kidneys, the Urine
being imperfectly secreted in the Kidneys,
prove irritating to the Bladder and Urinary
passages. When we reeollect that medicine
never reaches the Kidneys except through the
general circulation of the Blood. we see how
necessary IL Is to keep the Fountain Of Life
Pure.

Young Nations.

The presence Of young married ladies
at entertainments adds a charm to the
evening Of peculiar dignity. The cour-
tesies extended TO them by their gentle-
men friends do not clash with the atten-
tons paid TO the unmarried ones. A
young person of either sex cannot have
better guide, philosophers and friend
in any social emergency, than a married
lady. Their interest in one being purely
platOnic, and not Obscured or biased by
the glamour Of the tender passion, they
are always able to give advice upon deli
cate questions involving the use of con-
summate tact and discretion, and with
out which laundering man would simply
make dreadful mess of his affairs
Then, again, there is a repose and seren-
ity about the manner Of the young
matron which renders conversation with
her at once fFea from possible embarrass-
ment. The giddiness, friyolity and To-
quacity Of sweet sixteen" which, al
though temporarily charming, is apt
to become fatiguing, lacking the
culture and savior falEe years bring,
Marriage however, has the effect Of set
Ting all these sediments in the female
character more or less; and as the cur
rent of life runs smoother with them, at
least for time they can talk upon some
other subject than the everlasting one of
sweethearis, beauY and matrimony
There is subdued softness of demeanor
too, in the young NATION which the belle
Of the season does not have. The exhil-
aration and excitement incident to q
successful career as a young girl, which
eliminates in what is called the "inso-
lence Of beauty" is not visible in the
manner Of the belle retired from business
the young matron. The more charm
ing married ladies dispel the gloom incl
