THE DECORATIONS.
All along the Rue de Rivoli flags bound
with Grape were placed, but they were not
very numerous. From the Hotel de Vile
they became thicker and appeared on
every story. The churches were not called
on to share in the celebration and shut
their doors. The new Hotel De Vile was
bare of flags or Grape, although it would
have certainly gone into mourning had it
been the funeral of Henr Rochefort instead
of Gambetta. By the time the end of the
procession had passed through the Rue de
Rivoli the head was nearing the cemetery,
which was reached at 1l:30, when Mr.Deves
spoke on behalf of the government, and
Mr.. Chaffour on behalf of the Alsace-
Lorraine societies in Paris.
Mr.. Deves, minister of Justice, speaking
on behalf of the government, said he sa-
luted the remains of a great citizen. The
loss of such man caused

and defended it passionately. The de-
ceased had loved France, and had faith in
her destinies, even when hope seemed 10
be in defiance of fortune. His resolution
not to let her abdicate her place among
nations would be ever remembered. Apart
from his heroic defens e, his political prin-
ciples, and profound veneration for the will
of the nation, commanded admiration. His
life was employed entirely for France and
the republic. Though he descended pre-
maturely to the grave, he left his country
free, the master Of its destinies under re-
spected populcr government. The repub
lie at home is pacific, and the dignity of
France abroad is henceforth bey oad attack
The memory of Gambetta remains in the
hearts of all patriots.
Mr.. Chaffour, on behalf of the Alsace-
Lorraine societies in Paris, said that Gam
BETA was the life and soul of the defense
at Bordeaux. He represented our distress
after our mutilation and remained the rep
resentative of
OUR INvINCIBLE HOPE.
He had truly declared that the inhabitants
of the lost provinces we're doubly French
men. Generous workman, he died trust
ing in the future. His work remains
both that which he accomplished and that
which was the magnanimous ambition of
his life. Our tears for him are not the
sterile ones of despair. Our pain should
be only that of men who return to work
with fresh ardor. The great friend of Al
SAGE is dead, but France lives and will re-
spond to the appeals of her glorious des-
tiny. Vive La France!
THE POPULAR FEELING.
Almost every member of the chamber
of deputies and senate viewed Gambetta's
coffin yesterday, and when the gates finally
closed against the public, some persons en-
deavored to force their way in. The wide
spread nature of the feeling excited by the
death of Gambetta may be judged from
the fact that the Royalist Popular league
postponed for a week grand banquet
which had been announced before his
death for tonight. All the markets with
the exception of the bourse were co ed
All the ambassadors, including Prince Won
Hohenlohe, the German representative,
were present at the start of the funeral
and sent their carriages to join the cortege
The deputation from Alsace-Lorraine met
with sympathetic demonstrations along the
whole route. The spectacle of the for
midable army of sympathizers and mem
bers of associations which followed and
acclaimed the remains of the great tribune
and his adversaries holding aloof and
maintaining silence, caused vague feeling
of uneasiness.
NJ. Falateuf said the honors paid to
Gambetta were not to the man only, but
were

to the resistance to triumphant invasion.
They were mark of gratitude to all who,
at Gambetta's call, had died for their
country.
Bison, in his grafton, dwelt upon Gam
betta's efforts to promote republican un-
ion and to save France. He concluded:
"Let not our grief be sterile at his bier,
around which are grouped his trends, men
of all parties, representatives of the army
and children of the provinces so dear to
US. We swear we will labor to accomplish
that union which was Gambetta's prayer.
REST IN PEACE.
After the speeches were over, the body
was carried into the cemetery, which was
closed to the public. The coffin was laid
in temporary resting place, and the pro-
cession dispersed. The passing in pro-
cessionpf the crowd around the coffin at
the entrance of the cemetery, ended at
$3.50 o'clock. 1t is estimated 100000 per-
sons we're present.
The government decided this morning
to accept the responsibility for the speeches
of NM. Brisson, Peyrat, and Deves and
General Billot. All other speeches were of
an absolutely private character.
