long during his illness. His body is much
emacisted but the brow retains his grandeur
The sculptor, Dalon, has taken a cast OF the
face. Nador has taken a photograph and
Gialze has made another sketch.
When his death las announced there WAS
an indecent rush of reporters to the house and
the servants were obliged to repel them. NJ
Lockroy closed the front door leaving table
on the street for visiting cards. The BODY
has been embalmed. Immense quantities of
flowers are arriving at the residence. Depu-
tations from the municipal government and
from parliament offered the ir coincidence thi,
evening. Next arrived Nine. Bernhardt, the
actress, dressed completely in white, bringing
with her an immense cruwn of white rnees.

The crowd maintained q reverent silence dur.

The features of the dead man have, since
death. resumed their wOnted expression OF
calm serenity.
Victor Hugo wished his body buried beside

The ORIGIN OF MAN.
Henry Ward Beecher's Interesting Dis.
course in Plymouth Church.

New York, May "a.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher began series
of sermons on Evolution at Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, this morning. The edi-
fee was crowded. Beecher's discourse ex-
pressed the views of the speaker that had
been known for long time Beecher said he
saw NO bridge between the human race and
the animal kingdom in their origin. Man
had gradually grown up from barbaric con-
dition. Man appeared on the earth ages be-
fore the time given in Christian history. The
first people to gain any knowledge of God
was the Hebrew race, the people on whom ell
the Christian world today wipes its feet.
Gradually men have found God by expert
ence. God gave no instructions to man
originally, but left him to find out every
thing himself. His only revelation was
after man had gained some idea Of moral
quality.
The rest of Beecher's sermon was demon
stration of the dev-lopement of the idea OF
God in the mind of man.
