Great Britain has been stretching
her wings over India. In 1842 she
laid claim to 626,000 square miles of
that country. Sho made additions to
this every year cxcopt 1843, 1845 and
1852, down to 1856, when her pos*
sessions aggregated 856.000
miles. Advances woro made in 1868,
1882 and 1880, and now tho aroa of
India under British rule is 927,887
square miles. British India is larger ,
than all that part of tho United States
a lying oast of tho Mississippi River and
its population five times as great as ,
^ tho present population of this whole j
' country. Great Britain may not bo
ahlo to acquiro much more of India,
r Indeed thore is likely to bo difficulty
P in retaining what she lias, with nativo
dissatisfaction and tho watchfulness
of her aggravating enemy on the north,
who in tho last forty years has moved
his bounderies over many dogreos of
latitude.

Maryland is in a fair way to bo
blessed with the good roads for which
the State Road League has been so vigorously
agitating. The bill which
^ _ has boon prepared by its committee
for submission to the Legislature is
.the result of much labor by engineers
and scientific road builders. Its
WK thoroughness may be judged from the
|MT fact that it contains thirty-four hoctions.
The duties of a State road and
W highway engineer are first defined. It
is provided that he shall be provided
with suitable otiices and equipment,
and be empowered to employ Hiieh engineers,
clerks, and other assistants at
such salaries as the Board of Public
Works nmv annrove. Upon the up
proval of the board the State engineer
Shall be empowered to purchase stonebreaking
machines, to set them up at
convenient places, and to supply stone
to county boards at cost price. The
bill then provides for the appointment
#of a road board in each county. The
board shall elect its President and
Secretary and make its own by-laws.
It shall have general charge of the construction
and maintenance oftheroadf
and bridges. The board shall advertise
for proposals for any work to cos!

Improved Cotton Gins.
(New York Sun.)
Some recent improvements in cotton
gins are claimed to insure much greater
economy and efficiency than have
hitherto been attained, the difficulty
being now overcome of obtaining the
full length of the various staples on
account of the machinery in use tearing
the lint before the parting of the
entire length of the fibre from the
rollers. As now improved, tho machine
is so constructed as to allow all
changes for meeting these various
lengths in staples to bo made without
oven having to stop the operator from
his work, whereas the g'n now in use
not only necessitates the stopping of
the machine, but also requires a great
amount of time in which to effect the
chango. Another improvement in this
machine is an appliance in connection
with the inner blatle, consiating of a
Rjiring which allows it to give when tho
preRsure of the cotton passing through
the roller is too severe, thus preventing
the inner an 1 > t r blades from
coming in cost ' with each other;
the great wear roller is by this
means saved.

Milk Trees.
Dr. Spruce, the renowned South

member of tho dog bane family, tho
juice of which is used as milk. Oil tho
bark being wounded the milk flows
abundantly, and is of the consistency ,
lo.< .cow^? ?1 wJ M*v? ' ? >st white, and
rsctly to tho n'sUuvl, and thus reeeivo
tho milk as it flows. Dr. Spruce Bays
he has often partaken of it without ex*
periencing any ill effects.
In Quiana, tho natives employ tho
milk from a treo belonging to the
same family as the last named; in the
vernacular it is known as hyahya, and
to botanists as Tabornacmontauautilis
(so named after Jacobus Theodorus
Tabernaemontanus, a German physician
and botanist). The milk has tho
same flavor as sweet cow's milk, but is
ratkor sticky, on account of its containing
some caoutchouc.

complaint seta forth that the defendants
did not require enough of the
poll taxes which were levied to be appropriated
and applied to the aehool
fund of Hladen county for the years
1880 to 1802, the total levies oil each
poll for all purposes being $1.80, and
ofHhat amount only $1.'20 was appropriated
and applied to tho said aehool
fund, which amount an applied was
leas than three-fourths of the amount

I polls and realized from that source there
) was about $510 applied to purposes
1 other than the aehool fund (in other
words, pensions,) in the county for
2 the years aforesaid, which amount ought
to have been upplicd by the defend^
ants to the school fund of Hladen
" county; therefore, the plaintiffs do1

indicated that the still had been

The room was filled with foul smelling
Hteam, which arose from tlio vata r
of warm inash. All around the floor
was strewn overalls and boots, which
the fleeing men had huHtily thrown off.
The men escaped through a staircase
which led up into the hall of the tenement
house. The police sent for the
United States' revenue officers, and in.
a short time Deputy Collectors Sparks
and (Scary urived and took possession.
Watch was kept on the plueeallday,
but the owner didn't turn up. Tho
police profess, however, to know tho
names of the owners of the establishment,
and promise arrests.
