The body is on q small iron bedstesd, COM
pletely covered by sheets, except the head,
which rests on the pillows. The fsee is pale,
the hair grayer than formerly and The beard
entirely gray. Gsmbetta appears fifteen
years older than he really was. His friends
seem utterly beside themselves. Some aged
men were weeping. There were a few flow
eIs on the foot of the bed; otherwise there
were none of the emblems usual in France
on such occasions. A painter was seated al
the loot of the bed, sketching the scene.

terribly resembles that of France"
