FACTS AND FIGURES.

GEoRGIA's debt is 81, 105, 900, and she
OWNS property worth $6,000,000.
THE velocity of electric waves through
the Atlantic cable has been ascertained to
be from 5000 to 5000 miles per second.
THE increase in coal shipped from the
Lackawanna region this year, as compared
with 1874, footed up 6SS, $50 tons, Sept H..
THE population of Minnesota, according
to the census just taken, the population of
Ramsey County being estimated at $4,000,
is SOB, $50. This is an increase Of about
164 900 since 1870.
In the Monongahcla coal-trade there are
now engaged 1875 steam tow-boats and 8, 900
barges and boats, having an aggregate
tonnage of 1,300,000-a tonnage greater
than all the rest of the Mississippi Valley.
THE aggregate shipments of ore and
bullion from Georgetown, Col, and vi
cinity, including Griffith, Argentine, and
portions of another district, Will reach at
least $4,000 per week; and the yield for
1875, il is claimed, will exceed $2,000O00
There is an Increasing interest in the
mines beyond the divide, above Monte
yuma; and, despite the great disadvantage
of having to pack their ore over the range
to Georgetown, the district is developing
rapidly.
THE most dangerous mines in the
United States are in Schuylkill County,
Pa, one man being killed there for
every $4,000 tons mined. One man is
killed in England for every 1873, 600 tons
mined, one in Pennsylvania for every
IS, 900 tons, and one in Ohio for every
1873, 900 tons, This destruction of human
life ought always to be considered when
making complaints about dear fuel. No
doubt the prices often charged for coal are
too dear, but the excess of charges is on the
part of those who own the mines, and
never on that of those who work them.
In 1866 Russia had 100 foundries and
machine shops, only so of which were
provided with steam. tthe present time
there are 1862 of these establishments, 79 of
which are exclusively occupied with the
manufacture of agricultural implements.
Statistics are to hand concerning 179 shops
only; these employ 46,528 workmen. In
1868 there were 222 locomotives made in
Russia; last year the number was 1853. A
large number of English workmen are
employed in Russian engineering shops,
but they complain of being treated as
naturalized Russian subjects-that is to
say, their personal rights and liberties arc
but little respected.

THE Frenchman is a shallow stream,
which rises in Chase County, Neb., and
flows into the Republican. The locality
has been rendered famous in local history
by the occurrence of a CORY tragedy, which
will not soon be forgotten by the rude
hunters who make an annual pilgrimage
TO that wild and tenantless region. II is a
favorite spot for them. Buffalo and deer
are tho game which ractthem, especial
ly the former; and here wholesale slaugh-
ter of the shaggy beeves goes on year after
year with wanton sport, In the fall of
1874 there were several small camps on
the Frenchman, and great deal of buifa-
lo-shooting Among the hunters was a
young Irishman named James Mcclure.
He was distinguished for his skill and
good-fellowship, and tendency to indul-
gence in whisky. He was living by him
self in a rude cabin on the banks of the
stream, and was busy in preparing the
hides he had captured, which accounted
for his isolation. On the 9th day Of o.

The proposition for having Presiding
Elders elected by vote of the ministers,
instead of appointment by the Bishops, is
now being discussed in the Methodist pa
pers. Another change is also proposed'by
DIR. Potter, in the New York AdOOcdte, that
negotiations between congregations be al
lowed and encouraged, and that the way
be opened TO all alike for private arrange
ments, subject only to the assent of the
Presiding Bishop, who would be expected
to sanction all such arrangements, except
when decided unreasonable. The present
plan of appointing by the Bishop was
we'll, he thinks, in the old condition OF
things, but the new condition fully justi-
fed the proposed change The new plan
will release the Bishop and Presiding
Elders of a vast amount of labor and so
licitude, will lessen the chance for rebel
lion and will secure more satisfactory ap-
pointments.

BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE CASE.
Jerome Jones vs.. Victor Goldst ein.-Tnis was an
action Tor alleged breach OF promise OF marriage,
damages being laid at $4,000 and brought into
this Court under the Transfer act. The parties
are both young, the order Of seniority being now
ever, reversed, the lair plaintiff beng twenty
one while the defendant claims to be only nne-
teen and q minor; he however, looks much older.
The principals In the suit are hebrews,
and all OF the witnesses OF the same faith.
many OF them speaking English very
imperiectlv that their testimony had to be
taken through an Interpreter Evidence
to the promise OF marriage, ana the time hXed
therefor was full and apparently conclusive
enough. The DAY was named and the fair expec-
tant, ner relatives and friends were all invited to
the ceremony and to partake of the marriage FEAST
which was prepared regardless OF expense. The
defendant admitted his cOurtship OF Jenny; that
he had made her presents at various times,
amounting IN value TO $40; that he went to par.
ties with her. where the coming marriage was
subject OF common conversation, out he testified
that ne declared he would not marry her 1Our
weeks before the day that Jenny and her friends
mad liked upon Tor the marriage. On this point
he was supported by witnesses. The question
was raised as 70 his age and MS responsibilities
thereunder, and on this point he gave testimony
to cOntrovert evidence TOR the plaintiff that he
had offered a Mr.. GOlobecx money TO say he was
not nineteen years old. He denied generally any
promise OF marriage. The case Is still on.
