PARIS, June %, 1878.
The receipts at the great Exposition show
falling off during the past week and COM
parsons with previous weeks. This is &C
counted for in a great measure by the con-
tinuous wet weather, which robbed visitors
of half the pleasure of the place by keeping
them off the grounds But it had formida-
BILE rivals also. These were the great mill
tary review, the race for the Grand Prix
and the funeral of the ex-King George Of
Hanover.
ASSORTED ROYAL YUNERALs
The latter event is remarkable inasmuch
as it is long time since Paris saw q royal iu-
neral. The bringing home of the remains
of the Great Napoleon was the last event OF
the kind. but as the ashes Of the great cap
tain had been encofined for SO many years
in st. Helena, that is not counted as royal
funeral proper, although it was great
show. The last genuine royal French flu
neral was that of Louis XVIII, who de-
parted this life some fifty-four years ago,
and was given grand old Bourbon funeral.
France Tor century past has kept kings
and emperors mainly, it would seem, for the
purpose of giving other people the trouble
Of attending their funerals. Louis XVI. they
dropped, to be sure, into some nameless
grave headless. Napoleon !. cost the English
q rock-bound tomb in the South Atlantic
island. Charles X. died in exile at Goritz,
in Syria, and was buried there; Louis
Philippe went to q quiet grave at Wey-
bridge, in England, and Napoleon III.
rests not many miles away, in the little
mortuary chapel at Chiselhurst. The little
Dauphin whom the Bourbons call Louis
XVII lies no one knows where, and the
little King of Rome, who counts as Napo-
leon H. in tho Bonaparte catalogue, is
asleep these fifty-six years at Schonbrunn.
They had an imposing Orleanist funeral is
Paris when the young Duke Of Orleans was
buried, in 1912, after his fatal iall, but all
these things were far away, and were Of
mere conversational interest beside the fact
that the Republic was to witness the burial
OF an exiled and dethroned king.
THE CROWN IN TIE STREETS OF PARIS.
There was great curiosity to see the cor
tege itself. Here in Paris there is great out
ward respect for the remains Of the dead on
their way to the grave, and happily King
Georges funeral formed no exception to
the rule. The behavior OF the people was
admirable, even the redoubtable reds"
to whom kings living or dead are poison,
rcfrained from any unseemly demonstration
at sight of the crown borne on cushion
in the procession.
LESSON PROM THR FUNERAL
Not the least instructive thing in the
whole affair is the fact that that which re-
perial Germany is afraid of and forbids.
The princes and royal mourners in the pro-
cession are SAID to have been greatly i'm
pressed by the popular dcmeanor. 1t will
win more friends for republican France.
NEW FEATURES AT THE EXPOSITION.
New features continue to be added to the
Exposition. During the week the following
were opened:-- charming Monaco pa
vilion the photographic exhibition from
Norway and Sweden, which is extremely
curious and interesting; the Spanish agri-
cultural exhibit and the Spanish exhibition
Of retrospective art, both OF which are at
tractive the pavilion Of the Ceramic
Union, which is not specially remarkable;
the gallery Of resources OF the commercial
parts of France, which Is valuable in the
way OF comparison the gallery Of sketches
and models for decorations and scenery at
the Grand Opera, which are precious for
architects and scenic decorators, and,
lastly, the opening Of classes 9 to Is, en-
bodying everything relating to instruction
in France.
AMERICAN Arr CRITICISED.
The French critics are severe on the
American art collection and our art aspira-
tions. In learned article ON the architec-
