ness and anxiety manifested that they
were moved by deeper feeling than that OF
desire to witness an imposing and
unusual spectacle. The ordinary impulse
of curiosity which sways the masses on
such occasions, had given place to pro
found and unmeasured grief which the
loss of tried public servant and bene-
factor, sprung from their own ranks always
evokes in the popular heart. In front of
the catafalque on the platform, borne on
the shoulders of twelve men, was colossal
bust of Gambetta surrounded by flowers
| artistically arranged to represent the ma
tional colors. This was preceded by three
chariots, richly decorated, and bearing
crowns and garlands sent by the different
cities and towns of France. The pail
bearers were MN. Fallieres, minister of
the interior; Billot, minister of war; Bris-
son, president of the chamber; Peyrat,
vice president of the senate; Meliver, rep
resenting the electors of Belleville; Fala-
teur; representing the bar of Paris; Sierece,
mayor of Cahors DR.. Fieuzel and Etienne,
deputy, representing the family, and Mar
tin Feuillet, president of the Union Repub-
hcaine.
1t is not often such large military ar
ray is witnessed in the streets of Paris as
turned out at this funeral. Ali the troops
of the garrison were under arms to do
honor to the man who, as a member of the
government of defense, saved the honor of
the country. The force consisted of the
following troops: Nine regiments of the
line; two battalions of chasseurs; four
regiments of artillery; two squadrons du
train; two regiments of chasseurs q checal.
two regiments of dragons;
two regiments of cuirassiers;
the gen d'armes Mobile; the gen d'armes of
the Seine; the garde de Paris; Sapeurs and
pompiers. The troops lined the streets
through which the cortege passed, adding
much to the imposing character of the
procession.
And now a word as to the route. The
route chosen to the cemetery was a great
disappointment, caused by the abandon
ment of the great boulevards, the more
direct and usual road to Pere la Chaise.
But there was good reasons for it. En-
numbered as they are with barraques of
the new year, it was to be feared that the
passage of such an enormous multitude
through them could not be effected without
many accidents and probably loss of life.
Besides, it would have put stop for the
day to the trade of large class of poor
hawkers who count upon this resource to
make up for the shortcomings of the
past year. So the council of
ministers wisely decided that the
cortege should take another route.
The following was adopted: Pont de
la Concorde. Place de la Concorde; Rue
de Rivoli, Boulevard Sebastopol, Rue de
Turbigo, Place de la Republique, Boule-
ward Voltaire, Rue de Charonne, Avenue
Philippe Auguste, Boulevard Menilmon-
tant, cimitere.
The following orators delivered speeches
over the body at the entrance to Pere la
Chaise: M. Henri Brisson, in the name of
the chamber of deputies; NJ Peyrat, in that
of the senate; NJ. neves, in the name Of the
government; NJ. Metivier, in that of the
electoral committee of Belleville: n. Chol-
! lemel Lacour, in the name of toe govern
ment of national defense; M. Ejautfour, N
| that of the association of Alcase-Lor-
raine; M. Kable, in the mans of the
Alsaciens; and M. Falateuf Battonier,
of the order of advocates, in the name of
the bar of Paris. The change OF route
caused heavy loss and disappointment to
| the restaurants and other establishments
which had let windows at enormous prices
on the boulevard, and caused correspond
ing rejoicing among the owners of similar
houses on the line of the procession.
The sums expended for garlands and
other floral tributes for this funeral are
without precedent. Among the most ex-
pensive and admired are two from the
American minister's Mr.. Morton and Gen.
Read.
In the defle before the catafalque yes.
terday some angry words took place be-
tween M. Paul Derolde, the poet, and M.
Mayer, editor of Lanterne which led to
hostile message on the part of the latter in
the evening.
