deposited in the Pantheron yesterday by
the side Of the remains of his grand
father, LaZare Carhot, the organizer of

civic and military displays in the his
tory. Of France. Crowds began to gather
! along the Champs Elysee, the Rue De
Rivoli and about the streets on the Ave
nue. De La Cite, from early Saturday
| evening People camped all night, quiet
and mournful, discussing the tragedy and
cursing the assassin. By 3 o'clock yes
terday morning the streets along the
route We're already crowded, and by 6
o'clock the Place De La Concorde was
black with people. The housetops, win
dows and balconies Of every house along
the line of march and every other point
of vantage was occupied fabulous sums
of money having been paid for the use
! of houses windows and balconies from
| which to view the funeral procession.
At 9 o'clock the whole route Of The pro-
cession was packed in a manner never
| before seen in this city.
| There was an immense stir among the
crowds when Casimir-P erier, the sue
cessor Of the late president, drove up to
the palace, for, contrary to precedent, the
rewly-elected chief magistrate Of France
| had determined to attend the funeral.
| The troops presented arms upon his ar
/ rival, and he was received at the en-
trance Of the palace by a number of
high officials. Gen. SaGssier then gave
the signal for the funeral to commence.
Gen. Saussier, surrounded by brilliant
staff of mounted officers, took up his po-
sition in the court yard in front of the
magnificent catafalque upon which the
remains Of the late president had been
resting in state since Friday last, and the
black casket with it's elaborate silver
mountings, was removed under the super
intendence Of the priests who had been
gathered about the bier from early morn

gan it's march toward the cathedral of
Notre Dame. 49,.
A squad of Republican guards emerged
from the grounds of the paSace and pro-
ceeded slowly down the Avenue Marigni,
toward the Avenue Gabriel and the
Champs Elysee, the band Of the guards
playing funeral march. All the troops
presented arms and the people uncovered
their heads in spite Of the blazing sun.
Following the band of the Guarde Re
publicaine came four of the principle at
tendants of the Elysee with tri-coior
cocerdes in their hats and bearing Presi-
dent Casimir- Perier's splendid wreath Of
roses and palms across two poles. A.
Then came two carriages containing the
priests who were to escort the body to
Notre Dame. After the, clergy came a
six-horse funeral car which had been
used at the funerals of Presidents
Theirs and Mcmahon. The trappings Of
! the car and horses were richly en-
/ hroidered with silver, and angels with
outstretched wings sur1nounted each cor
ner.
The casket was covered with the tri-
color of France and was heavily drapel
with Grape. There were no flowers on
, the funeral car. AS the funeral car
passed those who had not previously

cross and offered up "a silent prayer for
the repOSe OF the soul OF the murdered
