THE C0UATRY,S PROGRESS.

Comparative Growth of the Three Grea,
Geographical Divisions.
Some new and important figures, pre-
senting the comparative growth of the
great geographical divisions of the
United States, are given in an article
by Robert P. Porter, of Chicago, in the
Princeton ReUieaU. The writer shows
that the growth in population of the
Western States in nineteen years (since
1860 has been 7,9O2,632; that of the
Southern States, 4,025, 1854; that of the
Eastern States, 3,808,706; the increase
in the Western States being nearly
100000, or equal to the aggregate in
crease of the Eastern and Southern
States in the same period. According
to Mr.. Porter's figures, the number of
hands employed in manufacturing in
the Eastern States in 1850 was 500, 1851 :;
in 1860, 9O0,1O7; in 1870, 1,173,eO8; at
the present time, 1,734,S73; in the
Western States, 3d. 47 in 1850, 113,O45
in 1850, 36O,621 in 1870, and 994, 512 at
the present time; in the Southern
States, 1893 in 1850, 131. 979 in 1860,
186,470 in 1870, and 258,SS9 at the
present time. The value of the main
agricultural products in the three Sec
tons of the country last year was as fol-
lows:
Eastern states-Corn, $47, 100000;
wheat $45,2l3,875; oats, $37, O21 900;
hay, $144, 5000; potatoes, $37, 636, 500.
Western States Com, 1926, 1913, 800;
wheat, $29o, 1892, S54; oats, $48, 536 900;
hay, $SO,211, $40; potatoes, S24 sos, $50.
Southern States-Corn, 1857, 100000;
wheat, $55,627, 800; oats, $19,238, 900 !:
hay, $13,844,39O potatoes, $5,199, 800,
The average value and yield per acre
for the three sections are thus sum-
married.:
Average yield per acre in bushels
Eastern States-Corn, So; wheat. IL;
oats, 34.8. Western States Corn,
Ala; wheat, 1874; oats, 1913. Southern
States-Corn, 1874; wheat, 81; oats,
1871.
Average value per acre - Eastern
States Corn, $2465; wheat, $24.27 /;
oats, $1505. Western States-Corn,
$9.05; wheat, $500; oats, 1892.
Southern States-Corn, 1919; wheat,
$l1.60; oats, $9.37. Il
The local debts of these States in
1870 were: Eastern States, $2S7, 535 1896;
Western States, 1914 ,748; Southern
States, 1913, 73O,129. The local debts at
the present time, according to Mr..
Porter's estimate, are: Eastern States,
$54O,155,O38; Western States, $146,-
O32,O37; Southern States, $183,292 1873.
Ii the State debts are added, the three
sections owe as follows: Eastern States,
population 100000, total debt, $685.
223,316; Western States, population
100000, total debt, $172,825, $40;
Southern States, population IA, 295, 900,
total debt, 1866, $751; 1854.

Extraordinary Case of Impersonation

The Australian papers relate what is,
perhaps, the most extraordinary case of
woman impersonating man that has
ever been recorded. The Argus SAYS
that lunatic admitted into the Kew
Asylum from Sandhurst, and taken in
to one of the male wards for bath, had
made the most violent resistance and
it subsequently TRANSFERRED that the sup
posed man was woman.
The Argats gives long history of
the woman. who for twenty years has
passed at Sandhurst as man, working
as miner under the name of Edward
DE Lacy Evans, and had been married
to three women without the slightest
suspicion of her sex being entertained
by the public. Further, Evans present
wife was confined of a child fifteen
months ago, and stoutly maintains that
she never knew the secret of her pre-
sumed husbands sex. Evans saws she
is relation of the late Sir De Lacy
Evans, and when married on the 18th
of September, 1868, at Ballarat, by the
Rev. William Henderson, at the Pres
byterian Church, he (she) described
herself as a miner, widower, with two
children, birthplace Paris, and gave her
fathers name as Edward John De Lacy
Evans, police magistrate, and her moth
er's name Anna Dora Vaughan Welsh.
Evans present wife's maiden name was
Julia Marquand, who became acquaint-
en- with Evans through sister who was
friend of the impostors former wife,
who, singular to relate, had two child
rem, both of whom are now dead.
AS regards Evans first marriage, one
of the nurses at the Kew Asylum be-
heves that she came out in the same
vessel (the Ocean Monarchy as herself
twenty years ago, and passed under
the name OF Ellen Tremayne, and she
heard few n onths afterward that the
girl had been married. In appearance
Evans is feminine as regards the for
nation Of the features, but has mas
culine expression. Her height is about
5 feet 5 inches. Some time back, when
working in mine, she met with
severe wound in the head, and was
attended for some time for dangerous
fever, but her sex was never discovered.
When married to Miss Marquand, Ev-
ans represented that there were two
children by former marriage, who had
been sent to Ireland. DR.. Poland, the
surgeon of the asylum, who examined
Evans, states that she herself has had
one or more children. The affair has
created some sensation in the colony.

THE LOVERS RHAPSODY.
A Thanksgiving Idyl.
BY I. EDGAR JONES.

"'Ah love! I love you so,'' he said; @
"Your every glance is JOY to me
The poise of yonder graceful head,
The inward worth that can see,
Your form so plump-with every line
That marks its proud and graceful swell =
Bespea axis nature quite divine.
Aud wraps me with its mystic spell.
Thanksgiving comes; and then for you
NV earnest gratitude shall rise; =
For who w tn heart Alright and true
Could such gift as thee despise?
Contrived to please the inner man.
To capture Judgment, soul and brain,
Andsmolded on perfection's plan
That few terrestrial things attain.
allow proud I am that thou art mine
That tho>e perfection, ire my own,
Tbat all thy charms and grace divine
Belong to me and me alone;
That thou shalt yet be paIt of me,
To soothe my SORROWS, dull my pain,
While shall feast my eyes on thee
And taste thy sweetness once again.
~My beauteous bird my favored one!
My thoughts by night, my dreams by day
My hope hen other joys are gone;
My fount of blessings glad and gay!'
He clasped her close within hi arms.
A glIttering knife flashed by his side,
Her head fell low despite its charms
He bore her, with a lovers pride,
Within the house. where faithful hands
The glowing Goals had brightly raked-
And told the busting kitchen bands
He want d that ere turk y baked!

Odds and Ends.

No sooner has one learned how to live
than one must die.
Everybody gives advice; few take it
and none act upon it.
All women consult their mirrors
very few listen to them.
All deaths heads grin. Can they
have read their epitaphs?
No one ever admits his defects if it is
not to insist upon their compensations.
From the moment that defect can
no longer be concealed we exagger-
ate it.
