MUGWUMP IN A HOLE. in One of the F. F. V.'s thus describes a Mugwump : In the existence and development of what eventually becomes a bullfrog there is a state of animal life after he ceases to be a tadpole and before he becomes a bull- frog. At this stage of his existence he is called by the boys of Virginia and the South a " mugwump," viz., neither one thing nor the other. Mugwump in a hole is prepared in the same way as the English dish, " Toad in a hole." One pound of fat meat, perhaps with plenty of bone ; beef is best, veal second best. One pint of milk, one cup of flour, one egg, and salt and pepper. Beat the egg very lightly, add the milk, and a teaspoon of salt
