GAMBETTA.
The Dead Hero Buried.
NObies and Peasants pay Respect.
An Unexampled Spectacle.

Paris, 6.-Deves, minister of JUS
tice, speaking on behalf of the gov
eminent, said he saluted the re-
mains of the great citizen. The loss.
of such man caused national grief.
The fatherland mourned one who
loved and defended it passiOnately;
the deceased loved France and had
faith In her destInies, even when
hope seemed to be in defiance of
fortune. His resolution not to let
her abdicate her place among the
nations, would be remembered
apart from his herO1c defense of his
political principles and profound
veneration for the will Of the ma
ton, and which commanded admir-
alton. His life was employed en-
tirely for France and the republic.
Though he descended prematuTely
to the grave he left his country
free, the master Of its destinies, uH-
der the respected popular govern
ment; the republic at home is paCi-
tic and the dignity of France
abroad hencefOrth is beyond attack.
The memory of Gambetta viii re-
main In the hearts of all patriots.
Chaffaur, on behalf Of
the Alsace-LOrraine Societies
in Paris, said Gamtetta was
the life and soul and defence at
BOrdeuX; he represented our dis
tress after our mutilation and ne
remained the representative of cur
inVincible hope. He had truly de-
clared that the Inhabitants Of the
lost provinces were doubly French
men. a general workman, he died
trusting in the future that his work
would remain, both that which he
accomplished and that which was
the magnanimeus ambition of his
| life. Cur tears for him are not
sterile ones of despair; our pain
should be only that of men Who re-
turn to work with fresh ardOr. The
great friend of Alsace-L orraine is
dead, but France lives and will re-
spond to tneappeals for her glorious
destiny. Vice la FTGncs.
Almost every member of the
Chamber of Deputies and the Sen
ate viewed Gambetta's coffin yes ter
| day. When the gates finally closed
against the public some persons en-
deavored to force their way in.
The widespread nature of the feel
ing excited by the death of Gam
beta may be judged from the fact
that the royallst popular league
! postponed for q week, the grand ban
| Guet which had been announced
before his death for all The mar

ambassadors, including Prince Won
HOhenlOhe, and the German repre-
sentation we're present at the start
OF the funeral procession, and sent
their carriages to join the cortege.
A deputation from Alsace LOr-
raine met with sympathetic demon
strationS along the entire route.
| The spectacle was a formidable ar
ray of sympathizers. Members of
the associations which followed and
acclaimed, remains a great tEib-
ute, and his adversarieS holding
aloof and maintaining silence,
caused vague feeling OF uneasiness.
New York, GA Paris special
says no such tribute has been paid
to the remains of a public man as
that which brought the population
Of Paris into the streets this morn
ing. 1t was evident, from the ca
gerness and anxiety manifested,
that they were moved by a deeper
feeling than that of desire to wit
ness the imposing and unusual
| spectacle. The ordinary impulse Of
curiosity which sWays masses on
such occasions had given place to
profound and unmeasured grief,
which the loss Of tried
