Reunion of the Old Boys OF the
Hampton Academy.

It has been definitely determined by
the committee having the matter in hand
that the reunion of the old boys Of the
Hampton Academy will take place IN
this town on the 3d day Of July next.
This arrangement Will be gratifying to
the survivors of those who went forth
from this Justly celebrated institution to
erapple with the realities OF life, many
Of whom have grown old in the strug-
gle, for it has been Just tweDty-seyen
wears since the school was closed. They
will come from all parts of the country.
Without an exception the old academy
and its honored principal, whose useful
life is still prolonged, will ever occupy
an important place in the hearts
and memories OF the boys. To meet
him again upon the scene OF their
youthful efforts and review the past. TO
compare notes with each other and visit
again the old town with its sacred memo
ries, will be the uppermost desire IN
every heart 1t will be to them an occa-
sion of great social enjoyment-a meet
ing Of old friends whom the rayages OF
time shall have made strangers for mo-
ment renewal of friendships formed
in youth, the most lasting and sincere OF
all a reunion which will rekindle upon
the affairs OF their hearts the flame of
their affection for the old school and for
the man whom they hold in highest es-
TEEN, and who may proudly point to this
school and its widespread influence as
the greatest work OF long and wel-spent
life.
An important feature OF this reunion
will be to erect monument tn the boys
who fell in the war-a tribute they richly
deserve; for no nobler, drawer band
ever went forth to meet death in their
country's cause.
And here the ladies who were pupils OF
the school will find most grateful en-
ployment, and We suggest that an asso-
citation be formed among them having
for its object the accomplishment Of this
most deserving tribute to the memory of
their brothers, sweethearts, and class
mates.
1t is proposed to have the celebration
10 the Armory, which will be filled up
with seats and stagein time for the event.
The programme will be about as fol-
lows:
Exercises will commence of IL o'clock

GTOcuses.


None Of our yellow crOcuses are of
European origin. They come to us from
the East, and appear to be comparatively
recent imporiatlons. "Cloth OF Gold. "
for instance, is native of Turkey and
the Crimcs, while the original home OF
the large yellow crocns is Asia Minor
Many other kinds have no doubt been
produced by the ingenuity of the
Dutch gardeners, always skilful in
their treatment OF bulbs. The chief
interest Of the crocus lies, how
ever, in the fact of ITS connection with
the saffron OF commerce Twice in the
course of history this latter drug has Gu
joyed popularity which seems strange
to us-once under the Greeks and Ro-
mans and again in Europe during the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. SAT-
from itself is nothing more than the
dried stigmas OF certain purple crocus
which blossoms in the autumn. 1t
seems originally to have been brought
from the East Its name In any case
is eastern, being, it is said, merely
change of the Arabic word zahtdrdn.
The Greeks and the Romans, it is true,
knew nothing Of this name, bat always
used the term crocus for saffron. The
undoubted fact. however. of its having,
on its temperance in Europe, been im-
ported FROM the East. confirms the ira
dition or notion of its Oriental origin.
1t was. strangely enough. the scent which
formed Its chief attraction for the an
clients. They regarded 1t as the most
delicious of perfumes. and endeavored to
introduce it on every possible occasion.
The floors of their halls and mansions, as
also OF their theatres, were strewed with
it, and Pllny in one place recommends
that the saffron should he bruised, in
order the better to diffuse its fragrance.
It's flavor was also greatly appreciated,
and Beckmunn says that in the oldest
work on cookery which has been handed
down to us, and which is ascribed to
Apicius, it appears that saffron was as
much employed in seasoning dishes as
for perfume"

Women as Lawyers.

"Why cannot women make good law
vers?" asks an exchange. We never
gave the subject much thought; but we
suppose it is because they can't sit on the
small OF their backs, pile their feet on
table, spit half way across room in a
box full of sawdust, and charge SO a
minute for it. There may be some minor
reasons in addition. but these appear to
us to be the principal obstacles in the
way to her success at the bar.
