/ too5nsome, judging from little occurrence
4 in front Of the stall of r. H. Cox, a few
/ DAYS since. One John Lewter, made COM
plant to the genial assistant, G. A. Roach,
that be found difficulty in retaining TODD
on his stomach. and commenced niboling at
the tempting sausage festooned in front OF
/ the stand He kept on ntbbl ng until he
/ mad disposed of twentysix links and about
half a pound besides Of the tOOthSome
meats, over four pounds in all. To the
| suggestion Of bvstander that it was dan
gerous in this climate to attempt the feats
| OF the Esquimeaux, he replied hat this was
! a mere pastime with him and offered to bet
| S25 that he would return in the morning
and eat SIX pounds Of that choice sausage
! for breakfast. There were no takers, one
remarking that it would very likely be past
time with the one who would undertake
such a feat As he has not been seen about

The tug r L. Mabey and the steamer Iro-
! quOis have had rather bad experience at the
| jet-es at Mayport Thursday night, the tug
in charge of Capt. James Floyd started
from Mayport over to st. Augustine, hay
sonville, where she had been repaired. At
O'Clock at food tide she ran on to the
| jettie her bow being high up
| There she remained all night, and Friday
the tug J. A. Stevens ana the little steamer
Mermaid went to her assistance, but, find
| ing the MaOey too heavy for them, the
! Kate Spencer came to their assistance, and
late III tho day the Mabey was pulled off.
/ She returned to Jacksonville for repairs.
She was on the jetties foT ten or fifteen
| hours. The damage cannot be ascartained.
| The Clyde steamer Iroquols, In crossing the
bar Friday, veered too near the south shore
aud she stuck, but only remained aground
| two hours or so. The small steamers that
pulled her off looked like pigmies beside an
elephant-so the Mayporters say. The
novel spectacle of these two vessels hard
aground made considerable stir at Mayport.
Nearly four months ago C. H. Wylarde,
| formerly second lieutenant of the Orlando
| Guards, left Orlando for Key West, ex-
| pressing his intention of taking a trip
| through the cities of the north Arriving
| at Key West, he remained there, secured

became first lieutenant of the Key West
company. When Mr.. Wylarde went away
from Orlando he left his wife at the house

| especially the Orlando Guards. who have
lots of pride and chivalry about them. A
| few days siuce Mr. Wylarde passed through
| Orlando as one of the officers in command
| Of the Key West militia Y company, which
was en- route to Tallahassee to par ticipate
| in the inauguration of Gov. Fleming. At
| this time the fact of his not stopping to see
