Two or three weeks ago a telegraph
pole in New York fell down and killed
a woman who was passing by. This sad
occurrence caused no little complaint
upon the part Of the press; and some
one jumping at conclusion, addressed
communication 10 one Of the leading
daiiies belaboring the Western Union
Company for its carelessDess. This
! brought out q reply from Mr. William
Orion, the very able President Of that
Company, in which he showed that his
Company Was not biameable for the
accident, inasmuch as the pole in ques-
ton did not belong to the Western
Union. but to the IRE alarm telegraph
owned and worked by the municipality.
The subject thus mooIed has brought on
an examination of the subject of tele-
graph poles; and in the Herald of Aug
Ii We haze the following interesting
statement:
The Western Union has altogether
in the ci:y limits 800 miles of wire ana
50 miles Of pole. Forty poles axe set 10
each mic, which makes Il total Of J, 200
poles. The principal streets upon
which these lines are constructed are the
Duwery, HUDSON, Greenwich, Washing
ton, West, Church and West Broadway,
aud the principal avenues the Second,
Third, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and
South Fifth. all Of the lines have been

They test the strength OF the poles with |
long pixies, which they place hear the |

weak they are replaced by Others. If |
they arc lonss they are reset. The
wires ARE lever transferred to new
pole until tue old pole is removed.

THE DOUBLE STANDARD" Of gold and
silver is ably treated of in q communica-
ton to the San Francisco Post of August
II by Mr.. IL. j. Farrell of Austin. MIR.
Farrell seems to have made a very COM
prehensive and cleveriy arranged alb
stract of the arguments, statistics and
conclusions presented by Senator Jones
in his great speeches il Congress. Omit
ting much that is interesting and rele-
want concerning the subject. we select
the following extracts as containing the
eist OF the argument for double stand
ard:
Here is the contrast: France main
tains the double standard; Germany de-
monetizes silver, and adopt tie single
standard. France, the conquered nation,
is to-day the most prosperous country in
the world; Germany. the conqueror, not
withstani'pg the immense sum paid to
her by France as war indemnity, is
almost paralyzel in all branches Of t.eae
and commerce The cause is obvious
Germany has been deceived and wheedled
into the decentralization Of silver, and is
suffering The inevitable consequences.
France nrospsrs under the double stand
ard, despite the immense sums she vas
compelled to pay to Germany, and de-
spite the enormous injury inflicted on
ber, as well as Gn all other nations, by
TIE course OF Germany i'll demonetlZlng
silver. A contemplation of this contrast
is the strongest possible argument ir
favor of the double standard. And yet
DIR. Lindern.n director OF tbs Mintsl
gravely tells us that if we adopt the
double standard We will place ourselves
in the same embarrassing condition that
France now occupies. That would be
fearful; but comment is unnecessary.
The 6smonetization of silver in the
United States was trick, and the prob
abilities are the same end was accom-
plished in Germany by the specious ar

PlutOcracy.

Bring out the Vital Energy.

There is generally, even in the most delicate
constitution, a latent reserve of vital energy.
The medical stimuent of all others best calcutta
ted to rouse this els inertia is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, The impulse which that in
estimable preparation lends to the action of the
various organs insures more vigorous and con
sequently healthy discharge of their varions
functions than they would be capable of without
its aid, and the "iillip to nature thus commu-
nicated is never excessive. but always equable
and regular. just so much stimulation is i'm
parted as is required, and no more In respect
of the healthful gentleness of their action, the
Bitters are UNNECESSARILY superior to the I'M
medicated stimulants of commerce, which,
though they produce powerfully resuscitatiug
effect for few minutes, are invariably follow
ed by reaction, corresponding in depression to
their primal effect They excite so much at
first that nature is weeried by the effort, and
is apt to sink under the exhaustion. Physi-
clans who have made the stimuative action of
the Bitters the subject of experiment, declare
their decided preference of them over any other
similar article. An equally high opinion is en-
tertained of their regulating qualities by med
zeal men who are acquainted with their tonic
effects. They speedily rectify an irregular hab
it ofbody, digestive disorders and delinquencies
of the urinary organs, which added to their
strengthening influence, renders invaluable aid
in dyspepsia, ,constpation, hillary arrangements
and weakness or irritation of the bladder or
kidneys. Rheumatic affections are also great
ly lleviated by their blood depurating and
infamma;oIy action.

The Macon Telegraph says -
Four weeks ago last Saturday a ne
gro boy named Kit Rutland was run
over by train on the Central Rail
road and fearfulIy injured The car
passed over both of his legs, above
the knees, and crushed them fright,
fully, forcing the bone of one of them
through the flesh. One of his hands
was also crushed badly, and he was
otherwise severely injured. No one
who saw the boy Immediately after
the accident, had any idea he would
live two days. Dir. Il. NJ. Newman,
physician who has lately moved to
Macon, was called to attend the case,
and has had it in charge to the pres
ent time, and so skillfully has he
managed it that the boy is now able
to sit up and even move about on
crutches. He will recover the use
Of both legs and of his hand, with
the exception Of the little finger,
which is likely to remain stiff. This
case is a very remarkable one, as we
have the testimony of the boy, and
of two gentlemen who witnessed the
accident, that the car passed over
both his legs. Indeed, the scars
which remain are sufficient evidence
of this fact, aad yet by skillful treat
ment, in the short space of 4 weeks,
the boy is able to walk about, with
the aid of crutches.
