FACTS AND FIGURES.

UPWARD of 100000 acres of land
have been taken by settlers in Manito-
ba during the past two years.
THE quantity of coal raised in Ger
many in 1878 was 80, 429, 3OS tons. and
in 1877 it was 30, 49, TIA tons. In 1878
the quantity of lignites raised was TO-
gill tons, as compared with 10, 644,-
427 tons in 1877.
DIR. FISCHER, of the Imperial Ger
man Postoffice, has just published a
pamphlet showing the comparative pos
tai and telegraph statistics. The letter
post of the whole world for 1873 amount
ed in round numbers to 100000, 900
letters. or about 9,250,0O0 daily, and
the numbers have been increasing daily
at an astonishing rate. Thus in Japan
the number Of postoffices in 1872 was
l,l59, and in 1876 it had risen TO 3,649.
The number of separate articles which
passed through the Japanese post in
1878 was AZ 100000, of which $4,000 GOO
were letters, 100000 post cards, and
100000 newspapers. Post cards we're
first brought into use only in 1865, and
nov they are employed in almost every
country OF the world. The parcels post
has, however, not got beyond che first
stage of its development. The number
OF Geographic dispatches sent in 1877
amounted for the whole globe to nearly
l3O,OOO,OOO, or an average of $4,000
daily.

THE COUSTRY'S PROGRESS.
Comparative Growth OF The Three Gre,
Geographical Divisions.

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 Revie,o. The writer shows
that the growth in population of the
Western States in nineteen years (since
1860 has been 100000; that of the
Southern States, 4,025. 1884; that of the
Eastern States, 3,808, FOG; 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 696, 661 !;
in 1860, 900, JOY; in 1870, 1,173,808; at
the present time, 1,734,S73; in the
Western States, 58,9 47 in 1850, 1l3, 045
in 1860, 6O,621 in 1870, and 994, $40 at
the present time; in the Southern
States, 100, 1866 in 1850, 131. 979 in 1860,
lS6.470 in 1870, and 25S,SS9 at the
present time. The value of the main
agricultural products in the three Sec
lions of the country last year was as fol
lows:
Eastern States-Corn, $47,21O,90O;
wheat $45, 2l3,S75; oats, $37, O21 900 !;
hay, $144, S25, 900; potatoes, $37 ,636, 800.
Western States = Corn, 1925, lbs, 800;
wheat, $298, 1872, S54; oats, $48, $3.50, 900 !;
hay, $8O,211 $40; potatoes, $24, 6O3, 96O.
Southern States-Corn, $l57 ,39O,5OO !;
wheat, $55,627, 800; oats, S19,23S, 300 |;
hay, $13,S44, $3.50; 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, 35; wheat, II;
oats, 34.8. Western States - Corn,
Ala wheat, 15.4 oats, 35.3. Southern
States-Corn, 1874; wheat, 81; oats,
1871.
Average value per acre g. Eastern
States Corn, $24.65; wheat, $24.27 !;
oats, $l5.05. Western States-Corn,
$9O5; wheat, $500; oats, 1892.
Southern States-Corn, 1913; wheat,
SLIGO; oats, 1887
The local debts of these States in
1870 were: Eastern States, $2S7 53355 1896;
Western States, $94, 1897, 74S; Southern
States, 500. 730,129. The local debts at
the present time, according to Mr..
Porter's estimate, are: Eastern States,
$40, 155,03S; Western States, S146,-
OBJ, OBJ; Southern States, 1888, 1892, 1873.
Ii the State debts are added, the three
sections owe as follows: Eastern States,
population 14,3OO,OO0, total debt, $685.
223,316; Western States, population
14,6OO,OOO, total debt, $172,825, $40;
Southern States, population IA 1876 900,
total debt, 1866, 1897 1854.

Extraordinary Case Of ImpersOnation.

The Australian papers relate what is,
perhaps, the most extraordinary case of
a woman impersonating a man that has
ever been recorded. The ArgaIs saws
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
1T subsequently transpired that the sup
posed man was a woman.
The argus gives a long history of
the woman, who for twenty years has
passed at Sandhurst as a man, working
as a 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 a 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 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
a friend of the impostor's 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-
lieves that she came out in the same
vessel (the Ocean Monarch) 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 a mas
,uline expression. Her height is about
feet inches. Some time back, when
In mine, she met with a
severe wound in the head, and was
attended for some time for dangerous
ever, but her sex was never discovered.
When married to Miss Marquand, Ev.
ms represented that there were two
children by former marriage, who had
been sent to Ireland. DIR. Poland, the
urgcon Of the asylum, who examined
Evans, states that she herself has had
me or more children. The affair has
reated some sensation in the colony.

with them to see them of, in sociable
country fashion, and after a shower of
girl on both sides stood watch
ing them as they tripped up the road in
the weird mingliDg OF twilight and
moonlight which hung OVER the world.
Standing on one side. peering up the
road with intent eyes, absorbed in her
own thoughts, she did not hear the
footstep that stole softly along the grass
bordering of the roadside walk. The
next moment strong arm clasped her,
pair Of daring lips snasched kiss.
Watching for me. Ivy?" cried Joe
Dalton, triumphantly.
Mr.. Dalton! How dare you! Let
me go, sirl" exclaimed Ivy, breaking
away from him with blazing eyes and
face shining white with anger in the
faint light.
"Whewl" CALCULATED Joe, stepping
back pace. 1T seems to me that you
have changed nightly in three short
months. Have you forgotten-"
II have forgotten nothing, sir" burst
out Ivy, in tones of suppressed passion.
ut is you who have rgotten-forgot-
ten, among other things, the respect
which every gentleman owes to lady"
"Ivy-Miss Sunderland, what is the
meaning of this? What has happened
that should break off our friendship 2"
What has happened. indeed p echoed
Ivy, scornfully. "Mr. Dalton, have you
so low an opinion of me, are you such
libertine yourself, as to suppose that
to me marriage is no impeachment to
such liberties as you have just insulted
me by taking?"
Married." cried Joe. $50 you are

mood gave way, and she burst into hys-
terical sobs.
"Ivy, Ivyl" cried Joe, 81 an not mar

caught the shuddemng, trembling form
in his arms, and drew the head down on
his bosom. $50 that is the meaning of
all this, your averted look this morning,
and all. 1 thought afterward that per-
haps you did not see me. Now, who
told you such an absurd story? in

Miss-Miss Simms," faltered Ivy, as
the sobs died away.
"Alvira! Well, declared And you

"She-she said that she saU her last
night-that you introduced her to your
mother as her new daughter; and then
you were at church with her this morn
ing"
"Oh, that meddlesome old maidl"
calculated Joe; to think she should
have made you suffer all this, my little
clinging vine. Never mind, love, we'll
cut her acquaintance when we're mar
ried."
But, Joe" said Ivy, affecting not to
hear the last remark, "who is the lady?
Your cousin? Do you know, believe
I'm half jealous of herr"
Jealous well, you won't be so long.
That lady as my mothers new daughter,
Ivy. She is my brother Dicks lovely
little wife, whom my mother had never
seen before. They arrived in New York
last night from New Orleans, and as
Dick could not come out till the mid
night train, and Edith was anxious to
get home as soon as possible, I acted as
her most dutiful escort"
And Ivy, though she began her
Thanksgiving rather late in the day,
made up in intensity what was lacking
