LONDON, Sept. 22.––A reporter ascertained yesterday that Oscar Wilde, who is in Wandsworth Prison, is employed in making mailbags, and that his demeanor since his removal there from Wormwood Scrubbs has been in every way satisfactory.

Wilde is accorded the special privilege of taking exercise by himself, and when in chapel he occupies what is known as the debtor’s pew, which is entirely isolated from the other prisoners. The prisoner has lost considerably in weight, but enjoys remarkably good health.

Taylor, Wilde’s quondam friend, remains at Wormwood Scrubbs.
