killed
The heat was so intense, hundreds
of people tainted, and, owing ITO the
packed crowds, it was with difficulty

from the funeral car the officers all
saluted together, the troops presented
arms, the trumpets rang out a grand
salute, the muff1ed drums rolled and the
bells tolled mournfully. the whole filing

which echoed far and wide

and officials, at the removal of the
casket, which was carried slowly and
solemnly into the sacred edifice which
resounded with the swelling tones of

man in public as well as in private life,

May this life, sacrificed to duty,
prove a great lesson of all French
hearts,
