Mr. English was ex | amine I as to the probable cost to the State | of erecting I in me !;s and necessary buildings i for u camp or farm of 135 convicts, lie es | timated cost at $3,003. Mr. Nelms, on the question of the separa ! (ion of women and children from other eon i viets, said he belie veil-lie was tin- first to j recommend it. He believed it was v. bat the I State ought to do, and was satisfied that | fhe\ could lx- made self-sustaining. He also i favored establishing n board of pardons. In reference to scurvy in convict camps, lie [ said he didn't believe l>r. Westmoreland | know scurvy when lie saw it. and had known ! him to fail badly on that disease.

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. WRECKED BY A WASHOUT A Fatal Railroad Accident Near Plant City.

Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. It now seems more than probable that more than one railroad will lie built to Tal lahassee, Fla., in the near future. The Mioanopy branch of the Florida Southern railroad will be extended through the Willis ton neighborhood by next winter. Preparations are now being made to begin work. Tho Secretary of State has grunted a charter for tho Ilawkiusville and Western railroad. This charter was issued under the general law. Tho read will run from Hawkinsville to Perry or Fort Valley. President J. D. Williamson, of the Chat tonooga. Homo and Carrollton,was in Chat tanooga Thursday to locate tho line of his road in that city, the right of way having already tieen secured to the edge of the city limits. The name of the road will lie changed to the Chattanooga, Home and Columbus railroad in a few days, but it is expected that in less than two years the southeastern terminus of tho road will not stop short of tho Atlantic seaboard. The Chattanooga 'Antes says t here are men back of it possessed of unlimited capital who stand ready to push the road through to some large city on the Atlantic coast. “Manager Harris, of the A. and 11. rail road (by the way, a bill is pending to change the name to Atlanta and Florida), was in town Saturday, Sunday and Monday," says the Fort. Valley (On.) Mirror, "and reports the road as lioing built as rapidly as possi ble. About t hirty-three miles of the road is nearly ready for the ties, and track-lay ing commenced best Saturday. Mr. Harris lias purchased four engines and quite a number of ears for the road. lie was hero to meet u gentleman from England, who come over ns n representa tive of English capitalists, who want the bonds of the rond. This gentleman came over the entire route from Atlanta to Fort Valley in private conveyance, and was much pleased with the prosjieots of the road, and will, no doubt, make a favorable re port. On Monday, wo are informed, the surveyors were engaged at Knoxville, en deavoring to locate the line, and we shall look for tlie steam whistle over this rood by Christinas.” The following letter from Gen.

WINE TN WATERMELONS. THE LATEST FAD IN TANGLING UP THE TONGUE. A Rustic Westerner Learns a Thing or Two About Serving tho Luscious Product of Georgia Tho Successors of the Dude and Dudino as Seen in the Metropolis. 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. Amos J. Cummings. 11. “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.” Blakely Hall. “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. Weather Indications.
