Tho Little Harry lay along-side and w an engaged to tow the Argo If necessary. They set sail men ily but soon their trouble began. No sooner had they gotten away from lam! than the bree.e dropped down. Then the Little Harry tried to get in her work She putted and tugged but it was alt in vain. The Al'go was too big for her. Then it was decided that the Little Harry should make the trip on her own account. The passengers were trans-ferred ami she cut loose and started off for Antelope Island. More trouble followed. Her steam capacity was loo small but the (struggled along and late in the evening drew up at Antelope Island and the weary excursionist found their way to While's ranch ami begged for the favor of something to eat.

REMARKABLE FREAK OF NATURE. A Young IMg Which Is the Greatest of Great Mysteries. Jacksonville. Fla., Aug. 12. Chas. A. Clark, an undertaker and embalmor, has in his establishment the remains of a young pig which is one of the greatest freaks of nature ever seen in this city. It is the property of E. A. LiudstYy of Springfield, and is one of a litter of eleven pigs which mide their appear-ance in his barnyard the other uight. Ten of these pigs are perfectly formed, and are living and thriving, but the one in question was born dead. It is about twice the size of the other pigs of the same litter, and is perfectly' hairless, except for a small patch of whisker on the chin. Tho head of this freak is human shaped, the ears are set on tho side of tho head like those of a human being, but are larger and shaped like an ehphant's, ear. Tne chin, mouth iiud cheeks are human-shape-while the teeth ate like a shark's. It has no nose, but instead a perfectly shaped trunk extends from the base of the forehead just where the root of the nasal organ should be. Im-mediately uuder the root of the trunk is situated one largo eye, with two large, round pupils (one" at each end of tho eye), which peeps out from under and on either side of the trunk. Each pupil or eye is shaded by white which very much re-semble the velvety brows of an infant. The trunk is nearly four inches in length and is perfectly pliable. Tho hoofs of the feet are goat-shape- and turn up at the points like those of u mountain goat. Taken as a whole, it is the most hideous looking object ever seen in Jacksonville. MANY SCARRED VETS. The Boys in Blue Who Saved the Union Assemble in Boston Thou-sands Strong, THE GRAND ARMY ENCAMPMENT. The Day Given Up to a Parade Which Was the Greatest in Bean-dom- 's History. Boston, Aug. 12. Boston is aflame today with the red, white and blue. The hospitable old town is giving ex-pression to her reverence for the veter-ans in many ways, but in no manner with the same degree of brilliancy as in her display of bright colorings. The stock of bunting and flags in the city was exhausted several days ago, and requisitions had to be made on New York and Philadelphia. This demon-stration of patriotism was not confined to houses on tho line of march, but embraced all seclions of the bus-iness centre. The procession was the largest held in recent years notwithstanding the excessively warm weather. Many of the veterans had to leave the ranks and seek shelter from the broiling sun. The president was extended a cordial reception and so was the commander-in-chief- , General Alger. 1'he president, members of his cabinet and the mayors of the larger cities of the country will be given a banquet to-night by the Mayors' club of Massa-chusetts. Perhaps the proudest and most conspicuous features were the three massive triumphal arches. In their conception and general arrange-ment they far surpassed anything of tho kind ever seen in this country. ) THE STRIKE AT AN END. f ,inc Ha Been Restored Strikers Say They Were Victorious.

SCHWE1NFURTH FRICHTENED-- He Has Tried to Make Peace by Martying the WoniHii. Bockfokd, 111., August 12. Fright-ened at the force of public opinion, "Savior" Sceweinfurth has tried to make his peace by taking out a license to marry one of his dupes, Mary L. Weldon, who is soon to become a mother, to' one' of the Beekmanite "Saints.1' the license was procured by one George D. Morgan, a desciple, and althotlffh Schweinfnrth tndnv denied that it was for him, the names and ages in the memorandum used by Mor-gan in securing the license were found to .be in Schweinfurth's handwriting. The ages of the "Savior" and his chief dupe were stated respectively as 42 and 35. This step, while regarded as a practi-cal confession of his guilt, has not allayed the public indignation against Schweinfurtn, and it may culminate yet in a midnight visit to the Beek-manite "heaven," on the part of indig-nant citizens.

There is much difference of opinion among tho nationalists as to the course they should pursue during tho adjournment of parliament. 1'arnoll counsels mod-eration, but as he is expected, as Is his custom of late, to go into temporary retirement lo recruit, his health, his colleagues may conclude to wage a bitter and unrelenting war ngaitisl Bal-four, as they did last year.
