Effect Of American Capital.
chihuahua Enterprise. ]

Mexico is quietly absorbing a great
deal Of American coin and growing
through the aid Of American capital.
Her present prosperity is directly trace
able to the construction Of railroads,
which are now being actively pushed in
that country. Railroads bring us unex-
pected currents of business and inspire o
new life and unwonted activity into the
old Mexican towns along the hne Of the
road. The tax-gatherers find q great
difference. The receipts OF the Mexican
treasury, which o few years ago never
exceeded $4,000 1000 per annum,
amounted to $4,000, 600 for the year
en- ding June 30, 1880, to $23, 900, 600 for
1881, and to s27, 900, 900 for the fiseal
year ending June 30, 1882, This in.
crease Of $500, 900 in one year Is no
movement attributable to the sugmenta.
ton of taxes, hut to the advent o. Amer

Speed Of Railroad Trains.

The London Engineer publishes the
following interesting item regarding the
speed OF railroad trains:
"a German journal, Die Verkehrs-
.settUng, has recently published q tabular
statement of the maximum speeds of
GSains in Great Britain. Europe and the
United States. The table is inaccurate
and incomplete to very considerable
degree, but it contains nevertheless
some suggestive information. The
american Railroad Gazette has supple
mented it by statement Of the speeds
of some of the fastest trains in the
United States, and this statement has
oeen in turn supplemented and cor cor
rected by two correspondents. The
prominent fact which comes out is that
Che time taken to traverse any given
distance between two places connected
bv rails shows that speeds are much
slower than most people suppose. IL
we take. for instance. the run from
London to Edinburg. distance OF 3y7
miles via York, this is made in nine
hours by the Great Northern trains, the
average speed being Al. 1 miles per
hour. From Euston the distance is 401
miles, and London d Northwestern
trains make the run in ten hours, or
4O.l miles an hour. By the Midland
Railway the distance is 404 miles, and
the time 10 hours 5 minutes, or very
nearly the same speed. The German
journal to which we have Just alluded
makes the distance 416 miles and tho
speed IL miles per hour, which is an
error. Some OF the fastest trains in the
world are those run between Leeds
and London. From King s-cross
Che distance by the Great Northern is
1861 miles. From St Pancras by the
Midland it is 1876 miles The fastest
train on the Great Northern makes the
run in 4 hours 3 minutes, or an average
speed of As. 4 miles an hour. The Mid
land trains traverse the distance in 4
hours 30 minutes, giving an average
velocity of 43.5 miles an hour. The
fastest train in the world is the Flying
Dutchman, broad gauge, which makes
She run to Swindon at 534 miles an
hour. The Great Northern trains run
from London to York, 1873 miles, at 4S
miles an hour, and at least one train
guns to Peterborough at 81 miles an
hour The run from London to Grant
ham has been made repeatedly at 81
miles an hour. On the United States
railways the quickest run appears to be
shat made between Jersey City and
Philadelphia, 80 miles, made at the rate
Df 473 miles an hour. There is not in the
zgorld train timed to run at GO miles
an hour, although it is. of course. GER
tain that that velocity is often exceeded.
IL a speed of so miles an hour could be
maintained continually between Lon
don and Edinburg, the journey would
occupy only 6 hours SO minutes; and,
allowing for three stops of 10 minutes
each on the route the time would be
1Inder Z hours, instead of 10 hours. 80
Ear as the machinery of railway is con-
cerned-by which we mean the road,
Che rolling-stock, and the signals--there
is nothing to prevent an average speed
of GO miles an hour being maintained.
That it is not attained is certain"

The Mexican.

The ordinary Mexican is not much
removed in appearance or habit from
Che Indian. He has the retiring fore
head, the straight hair, the sallow com
plexion, the same shrewdness and cum
ming, the like aptitude in observing the
habits and movements of animals, and
similar quickness to take of1ense and
readiness to retaliate real or fancied
in Jury. He generally lacks the activity
and resolution conscientiously and
promptly to keep together roaming cat
Sic, but is better fitted for lazily lying
ON the sunny plains, contentedly watch
tng the more peaceful sheep, and on his
patient companion the burro donkey
driving the flock to their corral atnight.
Men are wont to work for week or
fortnight and throw up their employ
ment idly to spend the daily dollar they
oaVe earned. Even the better classes,
with farming lands, stock, or stores,
rest satisfied with verymodest compe-
