THE LATE FRENCH Consul GENERAL
The San Francisco Bulletin has this notice
Of the French Consul General, who died re-
Gently in that city Of smallp ox:
The late Charles Gazette has been in the
consulate service of France on this coast
twenty-five years. His first appointment
was from Louis PHILIPPE to Panama /; from
thence he was transferred to Callao thence
to Valparaiso, from where he came to this
city in the year 1868. Gazette was born in
Paris, and married at Lima to a Peruvian
lady, BY whom he had five children, the eld-
est of whom is fourteen or fifteen years of
age, and all of whom are left to mourn their
loss. About fifteen months ago Gazette
made a trip to France, where he was we'll
received by the head of his Government and
honored by the extension of his jurisdie-
ton to the whole coast. and only returned to
this city some tive or three months ago. The
deceased was about forty-eight years OF age.
and had been ill one week. He was much
beloved by his countrymen and respected BY
all American citizens who had business or
personal transactions with him, and leaves
very large circle of friends to deplore his
untimely end.

NAV repeat an incident occurring on brc az
vay at its most densely crowded point, Juse
below the Astor. 1t was number OF years
since the Prince de Joinville, son OF LOUIS
Philippe, then King Of France, visited TINS
country, and made his mysterious trip up
the lakes, and had his remarkable inter
view with the late Rev. Eleazer Williams
at Green Bay. The Prince came over IN
the Belle Poole, beautiful miniature
frigate; and at the time We refer to, this
vessel was lying in New York. One DAY
there passed along the crowded Wsih
down Broadway past the Astor anu ot'
Paul's church poor man and woman,
the former carrying under his arm tiny
coffin with their dead baby, they strangers
and friendless, seeking Christian burial Tor
their child. The rude surge Of Broadway
rendered it almost dangerous to attempt TO
thread that crowd in safety to their pre-
cious burden. Just as the two had passed
st. Paul's there came up Broadway the
entire crew of the French frigate, two by
two, in their holiday dress, and jaunty
hats with long streamers, chattering and
iabbering as French sailors only can but
the instant the leading man espied that
baby coffin he called a halt, and every man,
facing it, lifted his hat and stood IN silence
while that humble couple, with their cheap
pine coffin, covered with the mothers only
shawl for pail, were passing. There was
lesson for American gentlemen, but one
our people, with all their pretended respect
for the dead, will never learn.
