Diplomatic costumes were to be seen in
every corner, varied by the picturesque uni
forms of many of the military attach 6s and
by the sober evening dress of Senators and
Deput es, set off by their plaques and tri-
colour scarves. The mouIners stood facing
The tribune. Lieutenant Sadi Carnot, a
well built, smart-lo0king young officer, being
in the front, with his brothers Ernest aud
Francois. The three sons Of the deceased
President looked extremely sad, and that the
ordeal through which they passed to-day
must have been most trying was the refec-
ton which naturally thrust itself on those
who watched them as they stood with eyes
bent on the ground, listening to every
word that was said about the good Pre-
sident, and citizen, the good husband and
father.
NJ. Charles Dupuy, the Premier, who de-
livered the first funeral Grafton, said:
"Presitent Carnot gave his life for the

DQDlICt DaNGly SUZUKI uOWn by INC Savage
vindlctivencss of persons whom it behoves
us henceforth to render powerlese. He fell
like a soldier OH the field of honour at the
moment when his hour of rest was already
in sight, for he did not intend to seek re-
election, considering such a course contrary to
the spirit of the cons t%itution. He cherished
the |loftiest conception of the position of Pre-
sidrnt Of the Republic, and he knew how to
gain sympathy Eand respect from all, both at
home and abroad. Both France and foreign
countries, by their unanimous sorrow, show
their sympathy with and their admiration of
the man the citizen, the magistrate. and above
all for the man of peace, who devoted all his
powers to the moietenance and the blessings
of that peace which he lost no opportunity OF
advocating. NJ. Cannot Will lest in the Pam

great qualities Of NJ. Carnot, and describe
his growing popularity, at the same time TX
pressing the hope that his memory will NO

NJ. Challemel- Lacour, who was the second
speaker. reminded his hearers of the ceremo-
ny of Aug. 4, 1883, when the Pantheon
echoed the name of lazare Carnot, whose
remains we're then r|etu}ned to France after
long ex lie:
Grandfather and grandson were now
united. Considering tie strange DEGREES of
destiny, in the case of the one an obscure
death far from his native land and of the
other death from the vengeance of a mad
man, asked himself, why exert oneself
at all if such is the reward awaiting
