WEEKLY EIM GA ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1884 A YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER Recollections of the Summer of 1816—Singular Meteorological Phenomena A writer in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle says: "I was a child, eight years of age, in 1816, and well remember; the privations endured by the settlers in Central New York during that and the succeeding year. The past winter reminded me of the winter of 1815-16, for it was cold and boisterous. My father had moved into this State from Massachusetts with a large family, and rented a farm in Janesville, Onondaga county. I had to walk a mile to attend school, so the storms of that long, tedious winter are firmly impressed on my mind. As the season advanced we had a good yield of maple sugar from a sugar bush on the farm, so we were supplied with that commodity. And, by the way, farmers in those days were more skillful in sugaring off than at present. Loaf sugar was at that time $8 a pound, for prices went up during the war of 1812, and were still maintained. On that account maple sugar, in the country, was used almost entirely for the table and cooking. I have seen it as white and nicely grained as granulated sugar. There was no fruit that season excepting strawberries, which were sheltered by the clover and grass in the meadows, and grew very nearly the size of ordinary cultivated strawberries. We preserved gallons of those berries, and those, with dried apples, were the only sauce I recollect on the table that year. As there were frosts every month in the year, excepting August, the raspberries, currants, gooseberries and blackberries were all cut off. The garden was planted again as the frost killed the vegetable but after the third harvest. RAISIN-MAKING. The Presno Expositor of June 12th gives a report of the Viticultural Convention held there. From the report the following extracts are taken: Mr. McPherson of Orange, who is a raisin-grower of that section, said that he had used the Muscat and Sultana grapes for raisins; that the land produces about one hundred and twenty-five boxes per acre. Here he described the methods of curing, and said it was best to cure the raisin on the ground; that the trays disfigured the raisin more or less; that they should be assorted stem by stem. He said that the usual method of packing is to put the stems at the bottom of the box, and criticized the method as calculated to deceive purchasers. The weight of boxes is twenty pounds. The raisins are divided into three grades. He suggested that the third grade ought to be used in wine-making. The raisins should remain in the sweat-boxes from four to six days. He was not accustomed to irrigate his vineyards at all except during the winter, and in this connection said the Sultanas would produce one-third more raisins to the acre than the Muscat, but he thought the Muscat raisins were superior to the Sultana raisins. He was interrogated as to how he determined a ripe grape. In response he said the grape, when just ripe, assumes a peculiarly beautiful amber color. If this color be a little faded, the grape is over-ripe and the raisin inferior. To fully determine this matter, experience and observation are absolutely necessary. He did not desire to dry artificially; that the sun as a drier is more economical and that the raisins thus cured are better; that he had never had any use for a drier; that sun-dried fruits are always much superior in flavor to those that are cured in steam. HEBREWS IN BUSINESS. From the Boston Herald. Considering the small number of Jews in New York—only 60,000—in comparison with the number of Christians, their success in the business world is simply phenomenal. There are millions upon millions of Jewish capital invested here in the wholesale trade. In fact, the business in many lines of trade is nearly monopolized by Jewish firms. I started from Union square the other morning and walked down Broadway to Wake Street, following the interesting occupation of some of my fellow beings from the country, namely, of reading signs. I counted no less than 650 upon which Jewish names were painted. These names represented almost every kind of wholesale and jobbing trade located on the great artery. The millinery clothing, hat, cap and fur trades predominated. I also found many retailers of Jewish nationality. In one block I found only one Christian firm. Turning Wall street, I found the same evidence of Jewish prosperity, only in lesser degree, among bankers and brokers. Two of the largest banking houses in the country, J. & J. W. Seligman, and Kuhb Laeb & Co., are distinctively Jewish. In the Stock Exchange are the Hearrques Brothers Wormser, Marx, and a host of others, all whom stand high, and wield an influence among their elbow members, and carry large accounts for their customers. In Maidstone lane and John street, the centre of this wholesale and retail jobbing jewelry trade of the country, the name of the Hebrew Jew in this trade alone, and with them transact fully 33 per cent. of the business done in it. West of Broadway, in Broome, Mercer White Leonard Greene Grand and other On that account maple sugar, in the country, was used almost entirely for the table and cooking. I have seen it as white and nicely grained as granulated sugar. There was no fruit that season excepting strawberries, which were sheltered by the clover and grass in the meadows, and grew very nearly the size of ordinary cultivated strawberries. We preserved gallons of those berries, and those, with dried apples, were the only sauce I recollect on the table that year. As there were frosts every month in the year, excepting August, the raspberries, currants, gooseberries and blackberries were all cat off. The garden was planted again as the frost killed the vegetables, but after the third planting was frost bitten it was too late to raise anything. No corn was matured; I do not collect whether any 'set' or not, but when the hogs were shut up to fatten, there was nothing on which to fatten them, and when they were killed there was no lard, and the pork was so lean it had to be fried in butter. My father went forty miles to buy a wagon load of potatoes for winter use. Grass, clover and wheat did well, so we had plenty of milk, cream, butter and bread, but when a cow was killed to salt for winter there was no tallow to make candles. There were of course no apples, peaches, plums or pears. Severe thunder-storms accompanied with high winds prevailed during the summer, and I recollect my father having to brace himself against the outside sitting-room door, and add his strength to the fastenings to prevent it from being blown open. Those were north or northwest winds. There was a fire on the hearth almost every evening during that summer, and when the neighbors dropped in to spend the evening, the weather was a prolific topic of conversation. The cause of the unpropitious season was believed to be the spots on the sun. I remember well smoking glass over a candle to look at the sun, many times during the summer. I do not recollect how much of the sun's surface was obscured but there was sometimes a large spot, which appeared through the smoked glass to be an inch and a half in diameter, and at other times a string of small spots. They were so numerous that smoking glass and looking at the sun was our principal pastime. Father was by trade a worker in iron, and had a "forge" or bloomery, where he manufactured bar iron. One afternoon in June the boys went after the cows, and as they walked along the road one of them almost stepped on a rattlemake coiled up ready to strike. My brother was so frightened he gave a tremendous jump which cleared the snake and they all ran home. Father took a munk trap with him and captured the snake alive, and as he wanted to keep it he took it into the forge where it was warm. The night was cold and frosty, and at midnight when the men quit work he put the cage on the warm anvil so his snakeship should not get chilled. The doors and windows were open, and the next morning they found their prize killed by the cold. The succeeding year was quite as disastrous to the farming community. There was such an unprecedented rainfall, that the summer received the name of the wet season, and frosts were quite frequent. We raised plenty of potatoes, beets, carrots and parsnips that year, but fruit was again cut off. There were two large orchards on our place, and father had baked nies in the stumps each frosty night until the 29th of June. I think it was. On that day, which was Saturday, mother and the girls had been very busy baking and cooking for the Sabbath, so there was a large fire in the kitchen. During the day, which began warm and pleasant, a heavy thunder shower had come up, accompanied with high winds and hail, which beat connection said the Skanasa would produce one-third more raisins to the acre than the Muscat, but he thought the Muscat raisins were superior to the Sulana raisins. He was interrogated as to how he determined a ripe grape. In response he said the grape, when just ripe, assumes a peculiarly beautiful amber color. If this color be a little faded, the grape is over-ripe and the raisin inferior. To fully determine this matter, experience and observation are absolutely necessary. He did not desire to dry artificially; that the sun as a drier is more economical and that the raisins thus cured are better; that he had never had any use for a drier; that sun-dried fruits are always much superior in flavor to those that are cured in drers. He said that if threatened with fogs in curing season his method was to pile up, and thus protect the raisins till the return of fair weather. His time of pruning is when the vine is most dormant, from the belief that the berry matures better. Miss Austin complained that the fogs last year seriously injured her raisins. Mr. Wetmore immediately produced a splendid specimen of raisins, which he alleged had had two inches of rain on them after having been picked and put out for earing. He alleged the fact that the grapes were just ripe when picked, and this fact protected the grape or raisin from the evil effects of rain. Rusin grapes would suffer from moisture if picked when undereripe. Miss Austin said that with our usual fair weather in autumn she found no trouble in curing raisins, but that fogs or rains injured her raisins and she had not yet discovered a method for protecting her raisins under these adverse circumstances. She said she had seen no raisins made in driers equal to those made in the sun; that to make good raisins she thought required a temperature of about eighty-five degrees. It was determined by a majority of the convention that a good raisin may be made from fully ripened grapes in a temperature below eighty-five degrees. Miss Austin, however, fully demonstrated that ordinarily eighty-five degrees makes the best raisin—by this is meant that the raisins are exposed to the sun when the thermometer shows eighty-five degrees in the shade. T.C. White was called and said that he had experimented with the Muscat de tordo blanco variety, for raisin purposes. That he picked in trays and only handled the stems so as not to disturb the bloom on the skin; after the grapes are two-thirds dry he turned all the grapes over at once; that from fifteen to twenty days are required to cure the raisins. Then they are all put in the sweat-boxes about twelve inches deep. The test as to when the raisin is dry enough, is to pull out the stem and if juice can be pressed out the raisin is not cured. If dry enough the raisins are put into boxes called equalizers, and left for twenty days, after which the moisture is equally diffused throughout the mass. Then just five pounds of raisins are put in each box for the market. Mr. White said that he never had or needed a drier. A drier might be beneficial in finishing the curing process of the second crop. As to irrigation Mr. White said that the country is now tilled up with water and that the time is near at hand when vineyardists may dispense entirely with irrigation. He did not handle the raisins in putting them from the trays into the boxes; he allowed them to slide rather into the boxes. The question was asked why Muscat grapes sometimes fall off. Miss Austin responded that she had used sulphur as a preventive while the vines were in bloom; that the experiment was very successful. Mr.West was called and said that his grapes thrive on soil fifteen to eighteen feet above water. The opinion was general that water within a few feet was detrimental to the vine. Mr.West further stated that spring or summer irrigation is detrimental; that the grapes are soft Two of the largest banking houses in this country, J.A.J.W., Seligman, and Kuhai Loeb & Co., are distinctively Jewish. In The Stock Exchange are the Henriques Brosse Wormer, Marx, and a host of others, all whom stand high, and wield an influence among their elbow members, and carry large accounts for their customers!

The succeeding year was quite as disastrous to the farming community. There was such an unprecedented rainfall that the summer received the name of the wet season, and frosts were quite frequent. We raised plenty of potatoes, beets, carrots and parsnips that year, but fruit was again cut off. There were two large orchards on our place, and father had built fences in the stumps each frosty night until the 29th of June. I think it was. On that day, which was Saturday, mother and the girls had been very busy baking and cooking for the Sabbath, so there was a large fire in the kitchen. During the day, which began warm and pleasant, a heavy thunder shower had come up, accompanied with high winds and hail, which beat the wheat and grass flat, and when it cleared off, the north wind lowered the temperature very fast, but no one thought of frost, until 9 in the evening, when some one came in and said that all the puddles of water along the roadside were frozen over as thick as window-glass. Father went out and fired the stumps again, but it was too late. The children climbed the trees in the orchard over and over again to see if some fruit had not escaped the frost (for apples were as large as good-sized plums when they were cut off), but without success. To our great surprise, one day in August, one of my sisters found a large sweet harvest-apple on the ground by the kitchen door. One of the boys quickly climbed the tree, and on a branch which hung under the eaves by the kitchen he picked a peck of apples. They were very large and delicious. The foliage was injured by the June frost, but had grown out again unusually dense and had effectually screened them. On the limb of a peach tree, sheltered by the carriage house eaves, we found two large, ripe peaches. When the wheat was fit to cut it rained almost incessantly. What was cut could not be dried to bind in sheaves, and that which was uncut lodged with the rain, and it all sprouted and began to grow. The flour we used that winter was made from grown wheat, and the bread was something to be remembered. Mother experimented and found the best bread was made by heating the flour, so she would put the quantity required for baking in the kneading trough, have her flat-irons hot and iron the flour. The bread, though very sweet, did not rise well, and was so sticky it could scarcely be swallowed. Indeed, it was a standing joke that to eat the bread you must grease your mouth and throat. Five children went home from a circus in Dakotadeeply impressed by the feat of descending an incline on a globe. Finding a smooth log lying at the top of a steep hill, they took their places in a row, and set it rolling. They were all thrown off and run over, three being killed. It is no longer considered a compliment to speak of a banker as a "fly business man." As to irrigation Mr. White said that the country is now tilled up with water and that the time is near at hand when vineyardists may dispense entirely with irrigation. He did not handle the raisins in putting them from the trays into the boxes; he allowed them to slide rather into the boxes. The question was asked why Muscat grapes sometimes fall off. Miss Austin responded that she had used sulphur as a preventive while the vines were in bloom; that the experiment was very successful. Mr. West was called and said that his grapes thrive on soil fifteen to eighteen feet above water. The opinion was general that water within a few feet was detrimental to the vine. Mr. West further stated that spring or summer irrigation is detrimental; that the grapes are soft and not fit for shipping, and that they decay early. Such is not the case with grapes irrigated only in winter. Millions of Oranges. New York Sun. It is said that twenty-four steamships are kept busy by one firm in bringing fruit from Mediterranean ports to New York. Twelve of them are passenger vessels, the greater parts of whose cargoes are composed of fruit. The other twelve are freight vessels, whose westward cargoes are composed wholly of fruit. The cargoes are discharged at a Brooklyn pier, near the Wall street ferry. The firm has just finished an extensive salesroom, which is said to constitute the most extensive fruit market in this country. Sales take place at noon on the day after a cargo has arrived. A crowd of importers, brokers, grocers, venders, and Western buyers is always on hand. Each importer to whom fruit has been consigned opens two boxes as samples, and the contents of these are overhauled by prospective buyers. When the auctioneer mounts his stand in the salesroom, men who look like tramps jostle their fashionably clad fellow bidders, and when they raise their hands the auctioneer is quick to catch their bids, for he knows their checks are as good as wheat. Many of the purchased goods are hurried off to Chicago, St. Louis, and other Western shipping points in refrigerator cars. In the steamships the boxes of fruit are piled so that air can circulate freely all about them, and strong currents of air are kept up through the holds by means of wind sails. A box of oranges landed in Brooklyn has coat, everything included, $2. It brings from $1 to $5, according to its condition and the state of the market. The ocean freight cost is 30 cents. The season here for oranges lasts from early December until early June. Then the dried fruit trade begins. This lasts until December. It is said that 1,000,000 boxes of raisins are often received in one month. The railway system of Prussia covers about 9,000 miles—a little more than that of Canada. Human life. This superstition relative to the crocodiles does not seem to extend to the crocodile's eggs, for in many of the villages they may be found for sale in the market places. Among the people the eggs are considered a great delicacy, and indeed, they are very good, but it was some time before could overcome my scruples and indulge in them freely. Dogs have a very sagacious way of outwitting the crocodiles. I have seen a dog stand on the banks of a stream for some time and bark furiously. As soon as all the crocodiles in the vicinity had congratulated at the place where the noise was being made, the dog suddenly ran off as fast as possible and swam across at some distance up stream. Stuff and Nonsense. The New York Tribune in its "Talk About Town" credits the following to E.W. Willett of California: The Spanish of Southern California regard it as rather peculiar and with some superstition, that since the advent of the white man in that section there have never been three successive dry seasons. Prior to the settlement of the whites this frequently occurred and nothing was thought of it, but now it would be regarded as a phenomenon. Last season nearly everybody predicted had been dry ones. The rains came and general failure of crops was prevented. The two rainy years are often followed by two dry ones, and then they alternate with remarkable regularity. But never in history of the white settlement of the State have there been three successive years of drought. Mind-Reading Extraordinary. London, June 3d.-W. Irving Bishop, the American mind-reADER, gave a remarkable exhibition in London to-day of his peculiar power. A Canon of Westminster Cathedral consented to act as a subject, and after Mr. Bishop had been securely blinded by a huge black silk headgear, the Canon wrote the name of an object within a radius of one mile, upon a slip of paper, which he continued to hold in his hand. Mr. Bishop then put a wire around the Canon's wrist and dragged him out of the hall and through the streets in the presence of a joering and yelling crowd, attracted by the novel spectacle, until he arrived in front of the designated object. There he stopped, and the Canon proved by exhibiting the paper that the mind-reader had fully accomplished his task.-Dispatch to the Boston Journal.

The leaves had changed part of their budding green for a fringe of scarlet. All day Friday curiosity seekers flocked to the woods near Waterbury to behold the marvel. When the sun came out in the afternoon most of the leaves gradually lost their tinge of crimson and became green. In the cooler parts of the woods, where the shade was dense, the touch of frost remained. On Saturday morning, after the severe frost of the night before, hundreds of people went to the woods to see whether nature would repeat her freak. The change was even greater than before. Those leaves which had not regained their green color on Friday afternoon had become entirely bronzed, just as happens on snappy November nights. Nearer the open spaces the hues were brighter. Red and dark brown combined to make part of the trees look as if they had been transplanted from some land of perpetual October. On the outskirts of the woods, where the sun had entirely demolished on Friday afternoon the work the frost had done on Thursday night, the later cold snap had replaced the tinge of red on the borders of the leaves.

On Saturday morning, after the severe frost of the night before, hundreds of people went to the woods to see whether nature would repeat her freak. The change was even greater than before.

On the outskirts of the woods, where the sun had entirely demolished on Friday afternoon the work the frost had done on Thursday night, the later cold snap had replaced the tinge of red on the borders of the leaves. In several other parts of the Naugatuck valley the frost had a like effect, only not as strongly marked as near Waterbury.

Drought in Australia. Australian papers give details of the effects of the drought in New South Wales—one of the saddest and most disheartening that has ever been recorded in the history of the colony. The news is terrible from the interior of the colony; 40,000 sheep have been lost on one station, and the Governor has been asked to proclaim a day of prayer for rain.

It is proposed that a railroad shall be constructed along the Pacific coast to the extremity of Alaska, where a ferriage would connect the tourist with the Russian railway system, which would be extended to the Siberian side of Behring's Strait. As the strait is only 45 miles wide between East Cape and Cape Prince of Wales, this distance in a swift steamer would be trilling even for the victims of seasickness. Parlor cars transferred to the steamers might practically give an overland route from New York to St. Petersburg without change. The way traffic on this line might not at present be overpowering, and the item of snow ploughs and snow sheds would figure noticeably in the expenses. Still, the scheme is perhaps as promising as that of going to Europe by balloon. Seven hundred thousand boxes of Mediterranean orange and lemons were received in Philadelphia during the last seven months, but the prices were so low that the shippers lost considerable money. Artificial dimples can be made in cheeks and chin by a clever Frenchman who has established himself in New York, and only operates on ladies who can afford to pay liberally.
