The day aztcr the announcement of his death,
there was brief @bituary notice in the HoRitenr,
whose deficiency of bonun is said to have been COM
mented on with Jealous disoOntent by his youngest
surviving son. Prince Napoleon. He was " en-
balmed at the Chateau of Vilegenis Monday even

translation from the advertising columns OF the
Paris Journals 1t shows the uses which the poor
brother of the dead Cesar turned to clay Is made
to serve. i thought the contemplation Cd these
might be morally profitable as well to meditatve
readers Of THE TRIBUNE.
The embalmed body was then brought to Paris,
and ia now exposed in state in fine Cbapele
Ardente at the Palais Royal. Friday to-day

The Prince desired before his death that he might
finally rest at the Invshdes along with his great
brother and the remains Of his second wife and OF
his second son. his first child by her. 1t supposed
that this repose will be only temporary. Some
day next week the BODY will be carried thither,
with imposing military and clerical attendant
pomps and ceremonies on the road and IN the
church, where it will be deposited for the present.
The reigniDg Emperor has decided that the vaults
of the cathedral Of ST. Denis, the traditional sepul-
cher of the mOnarchs Of France, shall be the Nap0
leon family tomb.
This matter of burying heads of States is a grave
one. 1t has a political Importance. The church
of st. Denis is TO dead mOnarchs something what
the Tuieres is 81 the live ODe-the traditional dead
house Of royalty The first prince depOsed there
was one Dagobert-not he of the mixed pantaoOns,
celebrated IN popular song-but thes of Chiperic.
Bis funeral took place one afternoon in the year
$50 From that date forward, as death ,befell,
prince bones after prince bones, in regular sneces-
sion, unbroken by change Of dynasty, till I" at
d" last God took pity on France, and let Louis XIV
/" die" were laid away there. Then came the ter
rible resurrectiOnists of the old Revolution, and
broke up the collins, and scattered the Wondering
mockeries of royalty to the four winds The First
Napoleon whose desire to be buried uRder the dome
the Inyaides after thought that came to him
at st. Helena, was married to Marie Louise in this
church, and meant then TO be buried in it, and had
il repaired and put in fit order for the purpose. The
only nhoe remains of king now there are those OF
Louis XVIII. the fragments Of what pass for those
Of his unhappy brother, Louis XVI, are anything
but authentic. STILL the dynastic prestige belongs
to the royal vaults always The wish, then, of the
first, and now Of the third Napoleon, to join 10 the
regular, dynastic, funeral succession is polite in its
way. The purpose of its fulfllment is the more
important 10 him, since otherwise he has no burial
place His uncle could well lie at the Invalides but
be not fifty by his side The famous tomb there
was designed (by viscontI as a one-man monument
Jet alone other excluding circumstances. IL was
rumored the other day, that the occasion OF
.Jerome's interment would be taken TO trans
fer the First Napoleon from his provisional
tomb lyon know he has never been placed in the
one built by ViscOnti under the Grand Dome of the
fnvalides) to the Church of st. Denis. But beside
that the family tomb there is not cOmpleted-the
finishing work going on perhaps, with .purposed
slowness-the Emperors negotiations with Francis

was thought last Summer that he had probably
secured them at Vilafranca; but as Villafranca
"went to the bad" for +. Joseph that generous
minded gentleman held on to them. He had better
overcome his inherent fondness for dead and
buried things and give them up. One would say
that he had skeletons enough in his own closet with
out keeping the poor boys bones away from his
family.
