and Mrs. Nathan johnson, colored,
took him In, gave himfOod, and named
him Fred Douglass, in honor ofScott's
hero, ard he threw off his proper
patronymic Frederick Augustus
Washington Bailey.
Five days after Douglass put on a
laborer's suit'and made two silver dol
lars by carrying coal, being much
elated over the fact that the money
was his, instead of a masters. he
next assisted in slowing a sloop with
a cargo ofoil for New York and he had
no trouble in getting work nor did he
divide earnings, except with his vile.
He got a saw aRd buck, and worked
industriously all winter, saving wood
for use in whaling vessels. He found
difficulty in getting work as a c%aulktr,
for white men of the same calling
had a strong prejudice against men OF
color. and though he could have
earned two dollars a day at the trade,
he was obliged to accept one dollar
instead, as a common laborer, all on
account of caste and complexion.
Colored children vert to public
schools with white ones, but
white mechanics would not aslo-
sociate or work with black men.
As they would notlet him work as a
caulker, he did all sorts of jobs like
digging cellars, moving rubbish from
back yards, loading and unloading
vessels, securing cabins, saving wood
and shoveling coal, and kept himself
quite busy. Finally he got a steady
job in a brass foundry to blow the bel
lows, swing the crane and other hot
and heavy work, often laboring every
day Of the week and two Of the nights.
Sometimes while blowing the bellows
he tackled a newspaper or book to the
post in front and thus read the news,
at the same time satisfying his employ
ers and acquiring knowledge.
He had little time for mental Gull
ture, but he managed to improve
himself slowly and after a while
he attained higher place. Soon lie
was an officer of the underground rail-
way, aiding slaves to escape from
bondage. As far back as 1855 be was
a noted lecturer speaking in cities and
towns north Of the Ohio river, always
to admiring audiences and contributed
daily his quota toward the final
emancipation Of his race.
For many years past Douglass has
been well-oif. Some say he is to-day
worth $4,000 During the Hayes
presidency he was Marshal of the
District Of Columbia, a place worth
five or six thousand dollars per snnum.
General Garfield, when he became
President, promoted him to a sinecure
position worth $500, previously he'd
by General Sheridan, Of Louisiana,
who said the hardest duty he ever had
to perform while he held the place
was to labor in the onerous business Of
signing his name from a quarter before
to twelve o'clock every day.
The Hon. Frederick Douglass re-
Gently paid a visit to his old master
Mr.. Aud, now far advanced in yearg,
for the first time since he was a slave,
and he met with a friendly reception.
The Hon. Fred. will doubtless be cor
daily received BY the people Of hii
race when be comes here.

to be sore again. This set me think

Cold WINTERS. The unusual
severity of the present winter naturally
recalls the remarkably cold winters Of
the past. Statistics show that this
season has been steadily growing mild
err for many years, There seems to
be no such winters now as there were
10 or 80 years ago, owing no doubt
to the cutting down in this country of
the native forests, the planting and
growing of towns and cities, and
the general development of land.
During the Seventeeth and Eighteenth
centuries, there were in the old World
some winters bitterly memorably. In
Britain, in 1904, the Thames was
frozen to the depth of 61 inches, and
nearlyl all birds in the Kingdom per-
ished. In 1892 the cold was so intense
in Southern Europe, especially in Aus.
tria, that wolves were driven by hunger
into Vienna where they attacked
beasts of burden, and even human be-
ings. ..# .Ntr
The winter of 1779-8O was very Sc
we're in this country. The bitter cold
began the middle of November and
continued until the close of February
The suns rays were not warm enough
to melt the snow, which lay on the
ground almost five months, so thick
that it was very hard to get from
place to place. All ordinary bodies
of water were ice bound. Domestic
fowls and wild turkeys persisted by
thousands, SO did deer and buffalo, and
wolves and panthers, mainly from lack
of their natural food, buried under the
snow. The Northern and Western
rivers were fettered by the frost, and
the Cumberland was so firmly frozen,
as far South as Nashville, that emf
grants passed securely over the river.
The Delaware opposite Philadelphia
contained ice of three or four feet and
Long Island Sound and the Chesa-
peake was frozen over.
