PARIS, January 1.-The Figaro says
Gamhetta was trumpet, OF which the
soul expires when the instrument is broken.
BERLIN, January 2.-The North German
GuEetie says: In German eyes Gambetta
has ever appeared tho personidcation OF
revenge. His name was associated with the
sound OF the war trumpet, but there has
also ever existed in Germany q generous
appreciation OF the merit and greatness Of
his character. Germany does not hesitate
to lay a wreath on the bier Of an enemy
with whom she VIGOROUSLY wrestled in a
brave and honest struggle. The German
military officers unrestrictedly yacknowledg.

not our affair to analyze his political faith,
but only sympathize with the fate Of a
patriot who did not despair Of the star Of
his faiherland.

NEw YoRE, January "a Paris paper
gives the following version Of the causes
leading directly to the death Of Gambetta
as related by the friends Of the dead
statesman, setting aside the old story Of
the pistol shot fired at him by the mother
OF his son, which is strongly denied. The
most plausible version is that after having
received the accidental wound in the fore
arm he became impatient at his detention
at home, which was intensified by the
alarming stories regarding his condition
which filled the press and by others OF a
more annoying nature which his enemies
INDUCED in. The wound was healing
nicely, but his desire to appear in
public 10 silence his enemies grew
so that he requested DR.. Lannelongue
to stop the suppuration, which he did,
though he pointed out the danger GAM
beta was running, but to which he was
dea'. He only desired to appear in the
Chamber once, or, at least, in the room OF
the Commission, Of which he was Chair
man, and which he believed would put an
end 10 the erroneous reports in,tirculation.
The doctor, against his better judgment,
did as requested, and in few hours the
pus from the wound being debarred its
natural outlet, took another course, bur-
rowing under the skin towards the should.
er and soon manifested itself in two large
phlagmous under the armpit.
This caused him the greatest pain.
He had arisen from his bed, hoping to be
able to takes trip to Paris the next day,
but he had TO retire at once, when slight
fever appeared. This was subdued in two
days and hope began 10 revive. But on
the Sunday night before Christmas Gam.
beta, who was always great eater, dined
heartily, and becoming excited during u
political discussion, suffered a relapse, the
lever again appearing. In the meantime
the pus had worked its way downward and
now showed itself in IN abscess in the
stomach. Later on another abscess ap-
peared and grew in size and literally
