The L" Year Without u summer. "

ltaftIOftt 1]meS.
We continue to receive occasional in
quiries concerning tho year in which
there was no summer. Some
persons appear to have a wrong idea us to
the time. 1t was the year 1916. 1t has
been called the year without a sum-
mer; for there was a sharp frost in every
month. There are old farmers still living
in Connecticut who remember it well. 1t
was known as the "year without sum
mer." The farmers used to refer to it as
"eishteen hundred and starvc to death.
January was mild, as was also February,
with the exception of few days. The
greater part of March was cold and
boisterous. April opened warm, but grew
colder as it advanced, ending with snow
and ice and winter cold. In May ice FORM
ed half-an inch thick, buds and flowers
were frozen ands corn killed. Frost, ice
and snow were Cannon in June. AlmSst
every green thing was killed and the fruit
was nearly all destroyed. Snow fell to the
depth Of three inches in New York and
Massachusetts,, and ten in Maine. July
was accompanied with frost and ice. On
the 5th ice was formed OF tho thickness of
window glass in New York, New England
and Pennsylvania aud corn was nearly al
destroyed in certain sections. In August
ice formed half-an inch thick. n cold
northwest wind prevailed all summer.
Corn was so frozen that a great deal
was cut down and drie;i for fodder. Very
little ripened in New England, even here
in Connecticut, and scarcely any in the
Middle States. Farmers were obliged to
pay 81 Or s. {: bushel for corn OF 1915, for
seed for the next Springs planting. The
two weeks in September were mild, the
rest of the month was cold, with frost,
and ice for'nets.- quarter Of an i,icil thick.
October was more than usually cold, with
frost and ice. November was cold and
clustering, with snow enough for good
sleighing. December was quite mild and
comfortable.

Republican Inconsistency


Co!ored Republican OF Washington. d. c. II
Forney's Progress.
You ask me in your card how Mr.
Fred. Douglass is getting along with
his appointment? The President has at
last decided to appoint his wife's relative,
Mr.. Henry, whoever he may be. Gar.
field has shown his clOven foot in this mat
ter. He gave US all to understand that
he would appoint Mr.. Douglass, but now
it leaks out that he promised Mr.. Henry
last winter. Mr.. Riddle, who had talk
with the president, discovered that the
social question was in the way. Mrs. Gar
field wanted some one as marshal who
could Oficiate at the White House, and
Mr.. Douglass was too dark for her taste.
If the president suppOses he can ignore
man Of the ability and prOmi-
nence Of Douglass, and take up
an obscure fellow like Henry, merely to
crafty prejudice, and still retain the re-
spect Of the better class Of the people he is
mistaken. 1t is evident to me that he has
no appreciative sense and does not feel :he
great obligations he is under to the cOlOred
people. 1t is easy for him to say, as he
did yesterday to q delegation of cOlored
men from Baltimore, that no man would
be appointed to Office because he was
white or cOlOrcd,' but it is fact that
no colored man has as yet been selected
for any position.
The Democratic party are fools or they
would embrace the present opportunity and
bring themselves into power. II they had
pledged themselves last year to granting
equal rights and equal opportunities to all
men without regard to race, they would
have won. But fOOl-likc, they. adhered to
their traditions. A few months will tell al'.
You need not be surprised if the colored
people come to the conclusion that it would
be better, far better, that the Democracy
should come into power in 1884.
Let US look at it. The president
has eighty thousand appointments
there are not one hundred cOlOred
men who will receive appointments
of any importance Il can safely say not
ten.) There arc Orer sic millions and a half
Of c0lored people in the country, and all of
these except few thousand are in the
South, under the government Of the worst
part Of the Democratic party and yet they
live : Now I would like to know how
much worse off they will be if the ten who
may be appointed to some office are
brought under the same control? None
none ! If Garfield was man brave and
true, and statesman in all that
it means, he would have gladly embraced
the opportunity he had to have tirOttled
the mean, cowartlly prejudice of caste, by
Mr.. Doug lass, and installing
him at the White House. l have been
reading the speeches that have been made
during the week in the Senate, and AIN
dis"usted with the Republicans who are at
tempting to make capital out Of the out
RACES that have been or arc being perpe-
trated against the poor, poor colOred peO-
pie of the South. Take four out of five Of
the men who have made speeches and
every one of them would have been found
wanting if they were placed in positions
where they could give q practical demon
stration of this desire to see the people
treated properly.

"A MARINE COLLISION.

a schooner Sunken and Several Lives Lost
Captain Thrasher, of the Schooner Ma
thaniel H. Skinner, of Taunton, from Bos.
ton for Philadelphia, reports that on the
5th instant his vessel was in collision with
the steamer Frederick Brown, Of Provi-
dehce Captain SmalD from New York,
with cargo of rctOrts, or pipe, and Jog
wood, and that the latter vessel sunk i'm
mediately. Nicholas jeremiah, a seaman,
was the only person saved. The captain,
mate and wife and children and ono sea-
man were drowned.
The.Skinner was running down the cape
with a strong northwest wind, among a
large fleet of vessels at anchor under the
cape, when Capt. Thrasher, who was ON
the lookout, saw the Frederick Brown
for few minutes, but as she showed no
light, he thought she was heading the
same way as his own vessel. Directly,
however, he found that she was
heading for him, and he ordered his
men, who leaped on board of the Skin
ner at the moment Of collision, states
that they had no lookout on the Freder-
ick Brown; that they had lowered the
mainsail down to reef it and went for
ward'to haul the jib down. When they
saw the Skinner, he says the mate cried
out to the captain, ''hard starboard," but
almost at oEce the vessels came to-
gether with a fearful crash, cutting in
the entire forward port of the Brown, and
causing her to sink two minutes later.
Lines, he says, were thrown from the
Skinner and one man was pulled nearly up
the vessels side, but he failed to retain
his hold, dropped into the sea and was
drowned. The Skinner remained as near
the locality of the accident as possible for
two hours. The seaman also says the
Browns side lights had gone out. The
names of the lost are unknown. The dam
age to the Skinner is slight.

one of the most desperate negro characters
in that part of Tennessee, was hanged for
the murder of his wife in 1879. He said
that he had experienced change of heart
and was ready to die. At $50 o'clock he
was taken to a creek near the Jail and bap-
cized by Elder Thomas of the Northern
Methodist church. An immense crowd
assembled On the banks. At the foot of
the bridge the minister commenced the
song. " On Jordan's Stormy Banks
Stand" and the coiored people in the
crowd joined in. As Williams arose from
the water he began shouting loudly, and
