boy has already been mentioned. Formerly a clergyman in Newburyport, he is now the pastor of a Presbyterian church in Newark, N. J. He took high rank in college, and has fulfilled his early promise. Hopkinson received the highest honors in the class. He was as a student quite mature, and was older than most of his classmates. He practised law in Lowell, became a judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and was afterwards president of the Boston and Worcester Railroad Corporation. He died in 1856. Tower practised law for a time, and then diverged from the profession. He removed to Pottsville, Pa., and has been identified with the management of railroads. Sumner was one of the youngest members of his class. With the advantage of the thorough discipline of the Latin School, he took rank among its best classical scholars. He excelled in translations, and entered into the spirit of the authors so sympathetically that their best passages became fixed in his memory, and were ever

Loring, and Luther S. Gushing. When Hillard left the building, in 1856, having previously removed to another room, he wrote in verse a graceful Farewell to Number Four, which called forth some happy rejoinders.

At the Sorbonne I also heard Constant Prevost 1787-1856. on geology, and Lenormant on ancient history. The former lectured in the same room that had been occupied by Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. He appeared to be about forfessors I intended to hear at the former place indisposed, so that their lectures were adjourned. At the latter place heard Demante Antoine Marie Demante, 1789 1856.

nkee trick; in the Chamber of Deputies I noticed others. For a good part of the debate, a huissier, whose place was very conspicuous, being directly on a level with the President, sat with his chair on its hind-legs. Another,—M. Salvandy 1795-1856. the Minister of Public Instruction,—sat for some time, cutting with his pen-knife the mahogany desk before him. There were a good many speakers, one of whom was quite prominent, being able, eloquent, and humorous. This was the Count Jaubert. also was at the exhibition of the Sourds-Muets,—the deaf and dumb.

milies of the English nobility and gentry, with whom he became a favorite guest; and I may safely affirm that no visitor from the United States ever received more flattering attention than Mr. Sumner from both English and Scottish houses. His extensive knowledge, polished manners, and genial cast of character recommended him to all circles of society; and deep was the sympathy inspired amongst us when this philanthropic citizen was assailed in the savage manner so well recollected by all, in 1856. When the historian and myself received Mr. Sumner at St. Germain en Laye, in 1858, he was undergoing the severe treatment adopted by Dr. Brown-Sequard for the cure of his spinal injuries. Subjugated as he was by the pain and irritation of the injured organs, Mr. Sumner's conversation still preserved its charm and even animation, when topics interesting to his mind came up between us. Mrs. Parkes wrote, in 1876:— It was said, after Mr. Sumner's northern journey, that he made the acq

There are others and worthier that I have met under other circumstances. There is Walter Savage Landor. 1775-1864. In 1856, Mr. Hillard edited Selections from Landor's writings. I know you admire his genius. I first met him at Mr. Kenyon's; John Kenyon, 1787-1856; the inheritor of a large fortune, and friend of many men of letters; the author of A Day at Tivoli, and other poems. He distributed his fortune among eighty legatees, among whom were Elizabeth and Robert Browning and Barry Coyear, and served till 1847, when he lost a re-election. He was returned again in 1852, and served till his resignation in 1856. Sumner met him at Lord Belper's in 1857, and wrote of him as so altered that I did not know him. At table, we had considinner the present Sir William Boughton, Sir William Edward Boughton, son of Sir Charles William Boughton Rouse, died in 1856.
