The constables tell a different story of ;he battle from any of tho other wit nesses. Speed said he writ Inside and called on Sheppard to surrender.

There Is an entirely new brand of watermelon in the market, and the heart of (lie wholesale denier Is glad in i onset|in nee. The aggregate loss from melons Inoken In handling has amounted to a considerable sum every season, ami the dealer# have been I ?raying for the evolution of a bullet proof, Iron-elud variety that can stand some little handling without falling to pieces. , At last such a kind has been ' pro duct <1 by {? judicious blending of two well known varieties ? t ho "Nlgger heail" and the "Gem." The result has been remarkable. A watermelon hits been grown with a tough exterior. It can be thrown around like a cannon ball without much material Injury. It is darker than usual, and Is more bul lions. It Is sweet to the palate and fragrant to the smell. It Is grown in Florida, but next season It will bo raised in all the ldg melon-producing States, One of this kind of melons was show n yesterday to a reporter of the New Y??i k Times by William IT. Mini s of the firm of I lines & Mnns ih'ld, Washington and Chambers streets. Mr. Mines has been handling v\ a tei melons for several decades and is a recognized authority on the ques tion of melons. Mr. Mines trundled one along with his foot, and then, as an evidence of its durability, pro ceeded to cut it in half with the aid of a big saw. The interior of tho melon was as hard and crisp as a brick of Neapolitan ice cream. Mr. Mines talKed of it as follows: "We have amalgamated an old-time "Nigger-head" with a "Gem" and tin re is no question that It is going to t?e the leading melon. We are un decided as yet what to call it. One of the chief advantage*? of this melon, from our point of view, is that it will carry belter than other varieties. Tho "Niggcr-hcad" is tender in the rind, so that if you pile it in bulk it cracks, Tills is a black seed melon, and we {irmly believe that it will take suprem acy over all other watermelons. At | present it is being grown in Florida, t\\it next year it will be raised through I <vit Georgia. .North Carolina and Maryland." ? New York Times. THIS SOI.IHRIt'N COLONY.
