i for u camp or farm of 135 convicts, lie es
| timated cost at $3,003.
Mr. Nelms, on the question of the separa

PLEADING FOU WINGAUD.
The Governor has received a petition from
a number of citizens of Savannah in behalf
of William Wingard. They do not ask
pardon, but beg that he may be placed with
n kind, humane lessee who will not force
him to do a man’s work, as the boy is not
strong, is unaccustomed to hard lunor, nnd
in the opinion of physicians has enlargement
of the heart. The Governor will do what
is right in tho premises.
Henry Raiding, the negro who was sent
up for life from Houston county iu I*3o for
arson, will be pardoned. When a young
man he nnd two others were in Houston
county jail for stealing cotton. They triiil
to escape by building a fire under the lock
of the Jail <loor. They were caught, tried
and convicted for arson and given a life
sentence. The other two succeeded years
ago in escaping from the penitentiary, but
Redding has all the time been serving out
his sentence and is now at Cole City. Hav
ing no one to intercede fur him he was per
mitted by Supt. Reese to write to the Gov
ernor his story and ask for mercy. The
Governor looked into the case, found the
story true and found that the Supreme
Court, 63 Georgia, page 3:!, deciding
another case, held that the offense of which
Raiding was convicted was not arson but
an attempt to escape. The Governor will
pardon him at once. Redding has for nine
teen years bam serving nn illegal sentence.
Sixty-eight, tax digests have been received
to date and show an aggregate increase in
taxable property of $2,1(35,2i2.

WINE TN WATERMELONS.
THE LATEST FAD IN TANGLING UP
THE TONGUE.
A Rustic Westerner Learns a Thing or
Two About Serving tho Luscious

New York, July 30. —More watermelons
are consumed in Now York than in any
other city in the world, and the watermelon
season is now at its height. One of the
largest and finest of tho 200,000 watermelons
that reached the metropolis last week found
its way into tho cafe of a fashionable up
town hot i. It was prepared for use and
placed in tho ice box.
People from the country nnd tho smaller
towns come to New York in great numbers
at this season of tho year, and among the
recent arrivals was a worthy gentleman
from a little rural sttlement in Southern
Michigan, who came to see his brother, a
Wall street broker, from whom ho had been
separnt* and ever sinco they were boys to
gether "ii the old farm. The two brothers
dropped in at the cafe In whose ice box
rested the big watermelon first men
toncxl “lait’s have a watermelon,” said
the broker. Tho rural brother readily
assented. “Will you liavo it plugged ! ’
asked tho broker. “Of course,” answered
the rural brother. “Didn't we always plug a
melon before we ate it, when we were boys.”
The broker whispered some order to the
waiter, and directly that, servitor returned
with the big melon aforementioned. When
he cut it it seemed very ju'ey and aromatic.
Tho brothers ate it greedily. The rural
brother declared that he hail never tast sd
such a melon in his life. It seemed to loose,n
and later to thicken his tongue. Finally lie
stared at his broker brother and asked,
“George, whaslier masher wish dat ituTnf”
George smiled and answered. “It was
plugged.”
“How plugged?’’ asked the rural brother
with, a suspicious, not to say silly, leer.
“George replied: “A hole had been out
in the end of it nnd a bottle of champagne
und a gill of brandy poured in. Then :t was
left in the ice until it became perfectly cold.
The sweet juices of the melon mingled with
the liquor so mellowed it that you did not
taste it.”
The rural brother looked astonished and
declared that lie had never heard the like.
He had plugged melons when a boy to find
out whether or not they were line, hut
he had never engaged in such expensive and
exhilarating plugging as the case in question.
The next morning when he hud recovered
from tho effects of the plugged melon and
was discussing its wonders with his brother,
tlic latter, who has become a distinguished
epicure, said:
“It would surprise you, old man, to know
how many methods of serving watermelons
the gourmands have invented. Many pre
fer a plugged melon filled with claret, but
for my part nothing equals a sherry melon.
Good pale sherry—audit is hard to get—
should tie boiled down to almost ;i syrup and
then allowed to cool. Whoa it has readied
the proper temperature, pour it into the
melon, place the fruit in the ice box, und
when you are ready take it out nnd eat it.
It more nearly approaches the nectar of the
gods than any combination on earth. Then
there is a sort of sherbet made of water
melon juice. I know of but ono place in
New York where you eanget it. The limit
of the melon is compressed, the juice mixed
with wine and the mixture placed in a
freezer until fine needles of ice tiegin to
form in it Then it is served and nothing
can equal it as a cooling decoction.”
The rural brother was much impressed
with the epicure’s erudition on the subject
of tin watermelon. That evening at dinner
he was still further astonished when the epi
cure ordered as an entra; some watermelon
fritters, and ns a confection some candied
watermelons. “I should think tho melon
would inelt while they are cooking it or
putting that candy around it,” said the in
ralist.
“That is a trick the French have taught
us,” answered George. “They cover n piece
of cold melon with a delicate bettor and
cook it so quickly that the fruit hasn’t time
to be much affected with the heat. That is
they way these fritters were made. Then
they take a very cold piece of melon meat,
immerse it in boiling sugar, remove it in
stantly, and you have the candied melon that
you have eaten. They raise tho finest
watermelons in the south of France to be
found in Europe—although they scarcely
equal the melons we get from Georgia—and
any cook from Southern France will tell you
air about preparing the fruit. In France
ihoy do not allow the waste of the licet part
of the melon, which is the outside. If the
watermelon rinds that are thrown away
during a season in this country could be
gathered, instead of being allowed to go to
waste, and made into preserves, half the
jieople in the United States who are unable
to enjoy the luxury of preserves during the
winter would have at a small cost all they
could tut of tho most delicious preserves
known to the human inflate A little cheap
sugur, some lemon peel nnfl a limited degree
of skill in preparing the green portion of
the watermelon is all that is required.
Your country people go hungry for delica
cies that grow all about you. This is not
onlv true with reference to melon preserves,
but with regard to other articles. You
wait impatiently for n salad until your let
tuce is grown, and all tiie while you have
had at your cjinmand material, if properly
prepared, for the finest salad known. I re
fer to the stalks of the dandelion. You .re
member how we used to have to pull up out
of the garden the abominable weed that wo
called ‘pusley.’ We have thrown away tons
of it, and yet the most delicate salad 1 have
eaten in New York was made of that same
weed ‘pusley.’ ’’
The rural brother looked astonished, made
minutes of the information Unit his epicu
rean kinsman had given him and went home
to tell the boys how little they know about,
watermelons and tile “women folks" how
limited their knowledge is of cookery.

“DevibOi line gal that,” stri<l a man who
stood in front of Dehuotiieo's the other day.
The tone was loud enough for the girl in
hear. She squared her shoulders a bit
more firmly and a look of tranquil nmi
ubdity spread itself over her face as she
tirnneed slowly around the corner and bob
bed up Twenty sixth street.
"Gad sho’s a corker,” euntinuej the man
glaring alter her rapturously.
It struck me that they were well matched.
Both of them belonged to the circle of cheap
swells. If I had Men asked b> pick out a
man nnda woniatn who typified the vast
sea of the gew-gaw awl tawdry swelldom
of tho tow n this pair would have suggested
itself to ine instantly. They an> the frlp
js'fv, froth and trash of the under-eurreiit
of New York society—a step above ambi
tious boarding house society a long jump
below the solid mid stupid but resiiectnble
’Tradesmen set." 11,is no wonder that for
eigners occasionally laugh at some of the
pretensions of society here; it is absurd
enough ton native.
The man at my side continued to gaze
after the girl till she disappeared with a rush
into a glove store. Then he drew a long
breath and said:
"She's a slasher, m’boy.as-s-s-slasher. Do
you know or! of course v’ dew though—she
bowed.”
“Yes, I know her.”
“Whtul’ser noitne, olocheppiel
"Isabel Throckmorton Biggs.” “
“N-n-ooP*
"Yes, it is.”
"I’m dnft-m' son-l'm daft t’ meet her-’ve
card s’ much of er y’ know.”
He nervously ran his fingers over tho
front of his waistcoat till lie found the string
of his gluss and then lntwriously inserted
the monodc in his eye. It was n wavering
and wearv sort id an eye. It looked as
thought t hail been watching'thet<<oth of a
ii- nv -. •’! >v v-ars that it had irtven no
all hope of ever becoming steady again. Tbe
moustache was drooping after a feeble fash
ion and the collar very nigh. The attire of
the man was characteristic of Lis set. His
coat was nearly the fashionable shade of
gray, but not quite, for tho materia!
was cheap and it looked a bit faded. The
shirt was brilliant red and white, the cuffs
very large, and the skinny liauds embel
lished by a lot of showy rings. They were
also rendered conspicuous by long and sharp
nails that were stained scarlet nnd polished
brightly. Grains of the polishing powder
clung to the edges of the nail . I've always
held that a man who will wear nails of this
sort would beat his mother and glory in it.
The trousers of my companion were wide,
baggy and brilliant; bis waistcoat of four
distinct colors and his hat and stick conven
tional. There was about him an ever pre
sent air of finicky nainby-patnbyism and
he fancied he was English, because his father
was bom in Birmingham.
As we stood t here the girl came out of the
shop niul moved resolutely down on us. She
was pretty and well made, but lier eyebrows
were drawn painfully aloft, and the corners
of her mouth pulled down by a would-be
blase expression while she held her chin
monstrously li gh in the air. Her shoulders
were like a drill sergeant's and she swung
her skirts with a rhythmical swish as she
came along on her toes. The gown she
wore was o? b'aek und white stripes an inch
or so wide, and tho same material served ns
a band for her natty little sailor hat. Her
sleeves were violently puffed out and her
waist violently squeezed in. She stopped
and beckoned to mo when within a low
puces and asked me lo button her gloves.
As 1 did so she said softly:
"Is that Mr. I>. F. Livingstone Thomp
kinsf”
“It Is.”
“lie’s awfully swell, isn’t be. ”
“Something stupendous. Shall I present
him:”
”1 don't mind.”
I did it and tho conversation began bril
liant:
“No charmed I" gushed the man.
“Heard of you so oltn, Mr. Livingstone
Tbon:pkins,”* said the maid.
“Aw, you're vowy good.”
“Saw you at Mrs. Hicks Lord's I think?”
“Yans, used to drop in. Miss —Mrs.
Lord, don’ you?”
“No very much. You’ve no idea —”
I slipped away. It was dollars to pennies
neither one of them bad ever even seen
Mrs. Hicks-Lord. They strolled up the
street together and I went back indoors and
amused mvselt' thinking over the number
of appalling fibs they were telling each
other to prove that they were howling
swells. I’m glad I'm not “in society.”

“Mntliological Insanity.”
Front the Afilwai'kee Sentinel.
it was announced a week ago or more
that Dr. Wigginton, a Democrat, had re
signed the superintendency of the Northern
Hospital for the Insane, and that Dr.
Kempster, who formerly held the place for
many years, has been reinstated bv the
State Board of Supervision. The Oshkosh
Times says that Dr. Wdgginton’s resigna
tion was asked for because of his “sheer
professional iucompetency.” This assertion,
it proceeds to illustrate by giving a sum
mary of his testimony in the case of the
Htale against Hazeltine, charged with tho
murder of A. E. Morse, of Steven's Point.
Wigginton testified that Hazeltine was
under the influence of emotional insanity,
and was question's! by Lawyer Fef.liers in
order to test his knowledge of mental dis
ease and intellectual faculties. Here is a
specimen passage from the stenographer’s
verbatim report of his testimony reproduced
in the J lines:
Q. —What is psychology?
A.—Mathologii al insanity, partly.
Q. —What?
A.— Mathologic.il insanity..
Q. —Mythological?'
a.—Yes, sir.
Q. —Is that, the definition given to it by
the writers, and as it is commonly under
stood ?
A.— T think t hat would express it.
Q. —Now we don’t care for what you
might say—you have frequently said that;
but, wliat is it in the ordinary common ac
ceptation of the term, for the lienefit of this
jury and for tho rest of us who may want
to know? • *
A.- Mythology belongs to the hidden
ages, more particularly?
Q. —Psychology ?
A. —No; mythology, I say.
<„>. —You snv that psychology is mytho
logical insanity?
A. —No, not absolutely that, but that
would cover a good deal of it.
