The Gulf Stream received its
name from the fact that it was
long supposed to originate in the
Gulf of Mexico. According TO
Humbolt it receives its first im-
pnlse near the southern extremity
of Africa. From the Gulf OF
Mexico this stream flows into the
Atlantic ocean between Florida
and Cuba, whence it runs north-
ward, nearly parallel to the Ameri
can coast, until it reaches Nova
Scotia and Newfoundland, where
one branch runs downward to-
ward the Azores, while the other
flows northward TO the British
islands and thence to the Polar
sea.

An Entering Wedge.

A WASHINGTON dispatch Of the
26th.says: "Eachday brings newsof
developments as to the inehiciency
of the Chinese bill. Lawyers say
it can never be operative, but can
be evaded with the greatest ease.
It seems to be intended but as an
entering wedge, and subsequent
legislation will be absolutely ne
cessary to carry it out. Oar new
minister to China, who will sail in
May, will have an uphill reception
on account of the passage Of the
bill, and some predict he will en-
counter violence there. Large
numbers of people in Washing
ton who have studied the Chinese
subject pretty well, seem to think
the bill is simply an advertise
ment to induce Chinese to emigrate
to this country. tits not sure the
President will sign the bill. If he
does it will be ON the principle
frequently spoken of by Grant,
that to make an odious law dis
tasteful is to enforce it." If Ar
thur does not sign the bill it will
be passed over his veto, and he
will lose the support of the Pa
ciic coast.

THE COAL QUESTION.

With the enormous consumption of coal which is rapidly on the increase as other fuel becomes more scarce and valu- able, the question of the duration of the supply becomes important
 Charles 4. Ashburner, the geologist in charge of the surveys of the anthracite coal fields, in the Engineering and Min ing Journal, answers the question, "How long will the anthracite coal fields last?' In the same connection he has been re- quested to express an opinion as to the total tonnage and exhaustion of the field. MT. Ashburner says:
 I have no opinion in regard to the matter. and the survey has not as yet obtained facts upon which to base reli- able estimates. It is our ultimate pur- pose. however, to compute as nearly as possible the total tonnage, and collect and systematize such facts as may fore shadow the exhaustion. A number of estimates have been made from time to time, by different authorities, but their results have such wide range that 1t IS | impossible to arrive at any fair conclu- sion. During the progress of the survey, the facts which can be procured are con- ! fidential, so that no reasonable solution of the Goal Question" can be offered until the publication of the survey re- ports. The present status of the subject may be appreciated by brief review of some of the estimates which have already | been made.
 1. Mir. WilkesOn says: Assume that thirty million (30O0OO00) tons will soon be the maximum output of anthracite. Dividing this among the six productive | fields, they will be exhausted as follows:

Tombstone N. * NJ. Co.

The movement to depress the Tomb stone Mill and Mining Co.'S shares, says the Bullion Miner, is about through with, and the instigatOrs have realized their folly. The false reports about the property and production have fallen fiat and failed. The Board of Directors are gentlemen in every way worthy of re- spect and confidence, and it may be said a fit board for other companies to pattern from. Engaged as they all are, like their hOnOred President, George Burn ham, in commercial and manufacturing business, they carry with them in the management of the Tombstone Mill and Mining Company those business prin- ciples that have placed each in his sever al business-ahead of their competitors. The financial standing of each places them above any stock juggling or the manipulating of the company's affairs to benefit themselves. The false and ma hcious reports that have been so indus trlOusly circulated are nailed by the following copy of telegram, received at the cOmpany's office, m this city yester- day; Tombstone, Arizona, Dec. 2S, 1881. To George :. COrbin, 432 Wal nut street, Philadelphia: Mines and equipments, both above and below ground never in such good condition as now. Ore in sight sufficient to run both mills to their fullest capacity for one year. Mills in better order than ever before. Bullion shipment this mouth to date, one hundred and thirty thousand dollars.

"Apparent Inin.tIee,, ;, Denied.

ARIvACA, January I2-I observe in your paper an article under head "Ap- parent Injustice" dated Gro Blanco, January 3, and signed |" Prospector," re- tiecting upon tine seizure of certain cat tie belonging to one Andreas Mendoza.
 "Prospector must certainly be mis- informed as to the facts of the case, or else he IS indulging in little malicious fling at the seizing officer. The why and wherefore of the case are as follows, viz: An3reas Mendoza, citizen of Mexico, and claiming residence therein, has to my certain knowledge, since the summer of 1879 and up to the present time of the siezure, driven and hcrded his cattle in Arizona. and during one year at least of that time he himself lived and cOrraled his rattle on American soil. He has also sold cattle to the Peel Stick and War saw mining camps for beef and peddled milk out t0 our mining camps during his residence here.
 His cattle to the amount of over three hundred head, have for at least two years and half sUbsisted on American grass, and to all practical purposes ex- isted on American soil, and during that time he has not paid one dollar to the government for duties on them, nor to our Territory or county for taxes.
 Parties owning stock in old Gro Blan- co and the adjacent inning camps have repeatedly complained of destruction both to grass and property caused by his cattle.
 Having my duty as an Inspector ef Customs before me. clearly and plainly lad down I2 our custom laws, | seized F. head of cattle belonging to Andreas Mendoza three miles this side of the line, deeming his case to be an open, palpable and persistent violation of our revenue laws. 50 far from picking up stray cattle belonging in Mexico and which have accidentally strayed to our side, every courtesy IS extended to the owners to reclaim them without expense. SenOr Zapedo had two cattle among those seized from Mendoza that had strayed from his ranch in Sonora. He is known as an honorable gentleman. l with no disposition to evade either du- 1 ties or taxes, and on payment of the du- ! ties on bis two head. they were turned 1 over to him and it was optional with 1 him whether to pay the duties and keep l them here, or without expense drive | them back to Sonora.
 No officer of customs Is corraling all 4 the cattle that are found this side of the | Mexican line" the seizure above al- | luded to being the only one made at thls office, and little more information . in regard to the subject would in the . future improve |" Prospector's commit Respectfully yours,
 ADRIAN R. SMITH,
 Inspector of Customs.

MARRIAGE IN HIeH LIFE.

Such are the headings frequently seen in newspapers throughout the length and breadth of the land Even little towns like Tucson have what some over nice neople call the upper-ten class" and Tucson is no exception to the bal ance of the world.
 Miss Studehaker, of South Bend, h. diana. daughter of the wagon million sire. was married last week to a gentle man in St. Joseph, Missouri, and the St. Louis papers came out with over col nmn each by telegraph,' giving full lists of the distinguished guests and a full description of the other notable things that took place on that occasion Now these long-winded telegrams were either " puffs," paid for by the Stude- bakers. or the aforesaid journals were todaying to millionaire Studebaker.
 Why do Americans continue to make fools of themselves and today to the empty forms of human beings who have nothing in them, nor anything back ot them save a few paltry dollars they have boarded up through long, miserable life; or who have by some streak of good luck laid up some money? How many thousands of young people have started ont in life with as bright prospects for the future as Miss Stakeholder and her husband. who are to-day numbered among the poor and common people: Not very many years since We noticed a half-clad. poor Irish boy standing city, in order that he might get good view of a groom and bride as they came from the marriage altar, who were of that class usually represented as belong ing to high life The half-clad Irish boy was ordered away, because of his shabby appearance. The newly married couple prospered for time, but reverses came. Last summer ihe Irish boy and the 'high-life" groom met in Colorado. The former had become a millionaire, and the latter very poor man. He applied to the Irish boy of the past for the posi- ton of breaking rock for smelter. Thus We see how a few years reverse the order of our social system. Don't place too much value on the effects of man. Smith may have the dollars to-day, but Jones or his son will have them by-and- by. Rather associate with a people for what they are, than hob-nob with those who have a few dollars and nothing else that would induce one to make as- sociates of them. It will be a proud day for America, when sensible people will accept man for what he is, and not for the dollars he may carry in his wallet. Ne boast of our free country, free press, . -Ae.. let us have a little more freedom of action and less shoddyism.

AMONG the numerous evidences Of the progress of the Japanese people III ac- quiring the habits and fashions of West ern civilization none is perhaps more striking than the humble but not alto gether unsuccessful efforts of the native papers to import into that eminently progressive country the true style and flavor of what is known as ''society journalism. Thus in the Osaka Nippo we read that "the female hair dresser who waits upon the lady of a certain statesman, was requested by that person. age to retail to him all the news she heard in other private houses The wo- man." it is added, thus acquired intiu- ence, and every month one or two of her friends received situations under the government. Now she Is sought by many person; and even men of education are paying court to her in order to se- cure her kindly notice" This 1t must be confessed, is not bad attempt at the vaguely virulent style of gossip. A little further on we come upon another para graph not unskillfully combining this style with the more personal Several detectives" it is observed, "are said to have arrived at Kiotl, and to be watch ing the behavior of those who are inti- mate with the Imperial Princes and nobles who reside ir that city" On the other hand the Kobe Shimpo seems to prefer to cultivate the valuable air of appearing to be on easy terms with high official and ex-oliicial personages; for there we read that "when Mir. Olnma was in office the great respect with which he was treate,. precluded him from accu- rately ascelaining the feelings and v.sb .h -af I'd, 1.e.aI.i- N,'--, hoWeNer' fhishe ha, ,igned,' we learn that "he can freely xxx in all picnic gatherings, and IS only anxious to receive invita- tions." It Is difficult to say what may not be expected of q country which. suddenly throwing off its exclusiyeness and sel-conceit of ages, begins to de- velup another sort Of civilization at this l tremendous pace.

ON Thursday morning John Abernethy brought a monster eagle into town which he had killed oI' his place the day previous. He had gone to a field t1 work carrying little son two-and-a-hali years old with him. It happened that he had his shotgun in his hands, thInk- ing he would need to kill game. Sud denly he heard a sound in the air, which he describes as equal tO the roaring of the wind, and saw a large shadow on the ground. Looking up he saw large bird sweeping down upon his son. As quick as possible he raised his gun and fired, and was fortunate enough to bring the eagle to the ground.
 He picked him up and started home ward, carrying the bIrd on his shoulder. Suddenly the eagle buried his talOns in his right arm and seized his left with his beak NIT. Abernathy called for help, and some neighbors, four in number, came to his assistance. It required their united efforts to release the bird from his firm hold. When released he found that his arm was badly lacerated, the flesh being torn from the bone in several places. The beak was sunk tO the bone in the right hand. The eagle measured feet inches from tip to tip, and weighed seventeen and one-haif pounds. He was never seen in the neigh bOrhOod before, and 1t is probable he strayed from the coast. Mir. Abernathy says his strength was prOdIgious. He would have readily carried off the little boy had it not been that his father was fortunately armed with gun.
