PARIS. Flaw Emilio.
M. Proudhou'a funeral to-day was attended by
some exciting incidents, the true character of
which is doubtful at the moment at which I write.
He died at his house, No. 10, Grande Rue, at
Psasy, a suburb of Paris, about as far from the
centre of the city as Kensington is from London.
A considerable, but not au immense crowd, for it
is estimated at only 3,000 or 4,000, assembled at
Palsy, to follow the corpse to the grave. Until
half an hour before the time fixed for the funeral
to set out only about half a' dozen policemen,

in uniform (I am told there were many
more in plain clothes), showed themselves
about the door. But suddenly the sound of mili-
tary music was heard, and a regiment of the line
(the 92nd), with band playing and colours flying,
marched along the High-street, and pushed aside
right and loft the people who filled the causeway.
It is asserted, but I cannot help doubting the fact,
that the advanced guard went through the form of
loading their muskets. As the head of the regi-
ment approached K Proudhon's house, the people
cried, "No music ; honour the dead." Several
people surrounded the colonel, and told him that
as there was a dead man in the house he ought to
stop the music. He is said to have an-
swered that, as there was no mourning
drapery at the door, he could not know that
there was a oorpse in the house. The fact is that,
by the express directions of the deceased, the usual
display of black cloth was dispensed with. He
desired to be buried as • poor man, and in the
fosse commune (the"common ditch,"wherethere is no
separation of graves), and his wishes were religi-
ously complied with. It is hard to believe that
the colonel of the regiment who saw the unusual
crowd in the quiet village of Passy did not know
this. However, he complied with the request to
stop the music, and, it is said, saluted the coffin
with bis sword as be passed by. Five minutes
later a regiment of the Grenadier Guards fol-
lowed in the wake of the line regiment, and the
scene above described was repeated. Some people
cried "bravo" when the colonel stopped the music
—but others said "No bravo "—they suspected
that the military demonstration was purposely
made. It is hard to think the contrary. However,
the evening papers say that it was an "accidental"
military promenade.
The interment took place in the Passy cemetery,
and, contrary to what has oocnrred at former
funerals, which may be styled political,
no attempt was made to cut off the line of fol-
lowers. Everybody who pleased was allowed to
enter the cemetery. Three speeches were delivered.
One by M. Masao! set forth the virtuous life of the
deceased, and dwelt upon the fact that he was
born, lived, and died as a poor man. The second
speech affirmed that as • public man no one more
than M. Proudbon carried out the principles of
1789 expressed by the motto " liberty, Equality,
and Fraternity." The third orator read a sort of
testament of M. Pro•dhon, of which I
have no account. No priest attended. M. Proud-
lion, when conscious of his approaching end,
politely declined the proffered services of the curd
of Passy, who wished to confess him, and said to
his wife, " You will give me absolution."

decree of separation, a menses et thoro, from her

be confirmed, but the court decided against his
opinion.
