OFF DUTY.

1t is essential TO the well being Of the
physical economy that the kidneys and
bladder should be etcrnally active, that
they should never go "off duty" IL they
do the kidneys fail to secrete from the
blood the watery element and the impur-
tiles that should be thrown off by the
bladder, and both organs suffer in organic
health from their inaction, and incur dam
gerous maladies. Among these are
Bright's disease of the kidneys, diabetes,
retntion Of the prime gravel, dropsy, etc.
These are no trifies, but obstinate diseas-
es, developing rapidly, and terminating
too often fatally. To prevent or check
them, the safest and most effectual means
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
gives a healthful impetus to, but never
excites the renal organs, like the fiery,
unmedicated stimulants of commerce.
Malaria, dyspepsia, constipation, liver
trouble, nervousness and debility are
remedied by the genial medicine. useful
in convalescence and old age. A wine

Breckenridge, Attorney General in the

Already, with the ink upon her license
scarcely dry, this well-endowed young wo-
man is in professional demand. She has
just scored a marked success in her ini-
tial Casa divorce.

The young lawyer is a fragile. bronze
haired girl, with a spirituelle face that
shows the exquisite sensitiveness of her
organism. Unfinchingly she has borne
the martyrdom that the last few years
have brought her. Nor has notOricty
swerved her in allegiance to that bril-

The loss Of her mother came when she
was abroad. She takes her calling very
seriously. Yet it was pretty sight to see
the quiet smile that fitted over her face
when, during the administering to her of
the oath in court, she was solemnly re-
quired. to swear that she would not en-
gage IN duelling nor any other style of
physical combat, nor carry concealed
deadly weapons.
After graduating at WELLESLEY as presi-

taught mathematics for year in the
Washington High School, thence going
abroad to continue her legal studies
in French and Roman law particularly.
Last year she took her degree at the

WILL THE A. c. l.. BUY?
The Extension of the Wilmington ana

(Newbern Journal.)

(Newbern Journal)
There has been some quiet speculation
in this city and Wilmington as to what
the result might be to the Wilmington,
Newbern and Norfolk railroad after its
going the hands of receiver.
Among those best posted it is said
that the receivership was for the pur-
pose of settling a number of matters
connected with the road, which could
not have been so easily settled otherwise.
There is also a report that the Atlantic
Coast Line is likely to be purchaser Of
the Wilmington, Newbern and Norfolk
railroad, and that prominent Coast Line
officials are now in consultation with the
principal owners of the Wilmington,
Newbern and Norfolk looking to its
transfer.
The purchase of this road by the At
lantic Coast line, would probably lead
to its extension to Washington, n. c.,
an extension that would prove of great
Importance to Newbern and the coun-
try along it's line.
