around him, he truly, f'looked like
q warrior taking his rest" Efforts
are being made to retain the re-
mains permanently in Paris, and
not at Nice-that might become
Italian again, alongside his mother
and his favorite aunt. He has be-
Queathed his brain to theAutropolog-
zeal Museum-to science. as Volta
ire did his heart to the Parisians.
Upwards of 5000 applications have
already been received, to be present
at the technical lecture on the de-
ceased's brain.
A few popular errors TO be cor
rected. Gambetta is not of Jewish
extraction he descends from an old,
humble, and pious Catholic family
of Celle, near Savona. Also, he was
first elected a deputy in 1859, and
returned for Marseilles, his official
opponent being Suez de Lesseps,
a distant relative of the Empress
Eugene, but republican since the
sinking of the empire. Theirs also
opposed him at the same time, as
an Grleanist. At the funeral of the
liberator, the crowd cried Wire la
RepubiQtte! At the obsequies
of the patriot the nation
exclaimed, Vi0e Ia France!
Gambetta's followers will be alb
sorbed into the other groups; his
doctrines will be presented in
another form. Time alone can de-
velop the leadership of the republi-
cans, and there will be no lack of
Richmonds in the field. But that
leader will not be able to stir men,
to crack up and lead the people.
And should a national crisis ever
come, millions will sigh
"-for the touch of vanish'd hand,
And the sound Of voice that is still"
Gambetta's death settles no pend
ing questions; nOr,it is to be feared,
the disputes and discussions of re-
Ipublicans. The r0yalists consider
they can make hay while the sun
shines. They have no king; true,
One!haS beenscOming since half CEN
fury, and is likely to remain so. The
Figaro, very monarchal journal,
chaffs its followers, and offers a fat
prize to whoever will forward for
publication, a plan, possessing a
CLEAN of common sense, for the
restoration Of any monarch.
The death of General ChanZy is 8
very great loss to the army; he and
Fairdherbe were the only two gen.
erals whom the Germans counted
with. Originally he was intended
for the navy, and during
the invasion, when admirals
and post captains, as well
as civilians superseded profess
sional generals. ChanZy had under
his orders vice admiral whom he
once served in the capacity of
MILDLY. ChanZy was a possible
president Of the republic; he would
never have had, however, the repub-
lican vote,as he was an Orleanist,and
the Orleanists intend to run Due
d'Aumale as successor to M. Grevy.
1t is said that the Parliament will
in few days, when it settles down
to work, compel the cabinet to
clearly state its views on several
tOuch-stone questions. Egypt will
be one of these, but as the chamber
voted the non-interVention of
France to aid England in the de-
fence of the Khedive and his adj
ministration, it can prevent no
claim to uphold rights it considered
not worth the expenditure of a sin
gle brave or single franc to defend.
Indeed, think more attention will
be given to home than foreign
questions. Gambetta threw HIM
self into the latter to draw off atten-
ton from the former. And Glenn
enceau, the ablest of the Elishas,
insists on internal reforms being no
longer postponed. The judicial
bench will be the first dealt with,
and then the reorganization of
the army "a matter in which
the army itself insists on the
completion of the solutions. There
is the greater necessity for this, as
the condition Of Italy is very IN
settled, and Austria labors under
more than a nightmare, respecting
the clouds of Cossacks about her
frontiers.
The opera masked balls have COM
menced; they are characterized by
the absence of masqueraders. The
Institution has lived, or at least it is
not the same, as when Marie Antei-
neste attended with her fast brother
in-law, the Due d. Artois, later the
pious Charles x, or when the regent
put in an appearance, receiving
kicks behind from Dubois, the bet
ter to stamp the regents disguise,
till the latter protested, Dubois,
Dubois, you disguise me too much"
There was a crowd of strangers as
ever, to witness the faded fun and
the grand staircase.
TIE Figaro states. a soup com
mon with the poor of ireland, con-
sists of skate, lobster, potatoes, the
yolks of eggs and toast. The lamp
lighters are of two classes, one
lights, the other extingnishes the
gas; but each demands a Sc parate
new years tip.
