A NEW LIGHT STATION.
Steps Taken to Condemn a Part of St.
GATHERINGS Island for 1t.

Steps Taken to Condemn a Part of st.
GATHERINGS Island for 1t.
Steps will probably be taken at an early
date to condemn portion of St. Cathe-
rine's island, owned by Mr. Jacob Rauers,
for the purpose of establishing at the en-
trance to st. GATHERINGS sound govern
ment light station.
An application by the district attorney
for appraisement of the land wanted was
filed in the United States court yesterday,
and an order requiring Mr.. Rauers to
show cause the second Monday in April
In the United States court at Macon why
such appraisement should not be made
was granted by Judge Speer.
The, amount of the island that the
United States proposes to take is about
five acre, consisting mostly of wood land.
Congress some time ago appropriated
$4,000 for the purpose of establishing a
light station at the entrance to St, Cath
crimes sound, and it has been decided
that this tract on St. GATHERINGS island
is the most convenient and advantageous
place to locate it.
The application by the district attorney
sets forth that an offer to purchase the
land has been made by the government
to MIR. Rauers, but that the offer has
been refused, aud that Mr.. Rauers still
refuses to sell it at a reasonable price.
1t is said that Mr.. Rauers claims the use
OF the land for this purpose will entirely
destroy the value of the island as a place
for a summer residence, and it is well
known that he has a beautiful
summer home there. The govern
ment is determined, however, that the
light station must go up, and if Mr.. Rauers
cannot show sufficient cause to the court
why appraisers should not be appoints ted
for the purpose of condemning the land
and fixing value on it. it will probably
be taken for use for this purpose. Mr.
Rauers values this property very highly,
and it is probable that the matter will be
fought in the courts to the end.
Henry Green, who was charged with
stealing sail and some other government
property from the lighthouse at Fort
jackson, was found not guilty by the
jury, probably on account of a lack of
evidence. This was the case in which
the arrest was made by Detective Bossell,
and in which reward of $500 was offered
for the offender with proof to convict
The case of the First National Bank of
Brunswick against Wheelright & Co. was
referred to MIR. Marion Erwin as special
master to examine into and report on the
facts and law in the case The other
criminal cases were continued for the
term. and the court has taken recess.

According TO recent chemical investiga-
tons, naphthalene is not formed in coal
gas while in the pipes, but in the retorts,
and only at a high temperature. Thus,
IN the process OF gasmaking, the gas
which first comes of is rich in marsh gas
and poor in hydrogen, while toward the
end hydrogen predominates, and il benzol
is overheated there is a slight separation
of carbon and hydrogen. and naphthalene
Is formed-a very staple substance, pro-
duced whenever organic substances are
decomposed by very high temperature.
which accounts for its unavoidable pres
ence In coal gas. II the temperature be
still further raised, there results still more
coalescence, anthracene and chrysene be
ing formed, and beyond these there is alb
sOlute charing, as in the formation OF
graphite on the walls of the retort There
is really very little naphthalene in gls,
but the amount produced in the retort is
far greater than that required 70 saturate
the gas, which viii only take mp about O.3
grain per foot, at Is degrees c., and
there is ten times this quantity of naphtha-
lene produced-the gas being therefore
saturated with naphthalene, while with
benzol it is not 50. and If &c be condensed
20 ID degrees, then sent on, and alterward
cooled down beyond that temperature. it
must deposit naphthalene. -N New York

At last Lord Odo Russell undertook IT,
He visited Lord Beaconsiield, and before
taking his leave remarked:
"By the bye. must tell You how much

"Why should they be disappointed"

An Augusta Lady in an English Church.

A correspondent of the Central Presby-
terrain writing from Warwick, England,
whom, from the signature, we take to be
the wife of Rev. Dr.. W. T. Richardson,
who, with her husband, is making a tour
Of England, says:
On emerging from the Warwick Arms
Hotel yesterday morning at 1915, we found
the narrow street thronged with church going
people. A battalion of soldiers was passing,
and to the music of a brass band and the
measured tramp, tramp of the 'Red-coats,
we wended our way to historic Saint Mary's
church for divine service. The large build
ing was speedily filled to overlooking, and the
reverent, hearty. happy participation OF all
classes and ages in the solemn, stately liturgy
was especially noticeable; as was also the
fact that there were no perceptible genuflec-
tions from clergy, choristers or native wor-
shippers during the chanting OF creed or
glorias. The vicar read an unpretending,
sensible discourse to prove that all are but
strangers and sojourners on the earth, illus
trating his subject by a parable, " which our
party of four scarcely needed as practical
application. fully realizing that we we've
pilgrims if not "aliens." When the curate
''put up the bans" for (let US say) John
Smith, "bachelor," and Mary Jones, "spins-
ter,'' to be united in the holy bonds of matri-
mony. and solemnly warned the congregation
that this was ''the third awsking," we truly
felt ''abrOad,''

New POSTAGE Stamps.

Important changes in the denominations
of postage stamps are contemplated by the
Post office Department. The principa
ones are in the newspaper and periodical
series, but the regular series is also to be
altered. Of the latter, the ones. twos
threes, fours. fives. SKIES, Fights. tens :lnd
fifteens, which are now in use, will be con
tinued. The present thirty and innocent
ordinary stamps probably will be dis
continued, and fifty cents and one, two and
five-dollar stamps will be added to the
series. 1t is intended to reduce the mum
Der of the denominations of newspaper and
periodical stamps from "a to II OF IS. The
dollar stamp now printed for the first time
by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
is the doubtful one, but it will probably be
finally decided On favorably to its oontinu-
ed use. The denominations of the series
either now printed by the bureau for the
first time, OIL to be issued later, are five
twenty five and fifty cents, and 81, 81, SIS
$40, $40, $50 and 800.
Those to be dropped out Of use are 8, A.
6, s, u, "A, SO, 4s, 60, Y, 81, 96c. $1.92
and So, S.. 50, Sl2. s24, 1886, $4S and $50.
The postage=due stamps have been re-en-
graved under the present contract and
slightly reduced in size from the former
output of the contractor.
All Of these changes have been practical
ly approved by the officials. subject. how
ever. to notifications if deemed advisable
