Perier'S splendid wreath of roses and
palms across two poles. Then came
two carriages containing the priests
who were to escort the body to Notre
Dame. After the clergy came the-si
horse funeral car. which had been used
at the funerals of President Thiers and
McMahon. The trappings Of the car

with crepe. There were no flowers on
the funeral ca:. AS the funeral car
passed, those who had not previously
doffed their hats did so. many of the
women fell upon their knees, and all
good Catholics made the sign of the
cross and offered up silent prayer for
the repose of the soul of the murdered
president. As the procession emerged
upon the Champs Elysee man cried,
amidst the pIofoundest respectful
silence OF the crowd: "Vive Caruot,

thus broke the mournful silence was
removed. Two infantry captains, bear

were followed by the officers composing
the civil household of the late president.
Behind these were the three sons of the

THE VIEW WAS SUPERB.
The view from the roof-topS Of the
houses along the Champs Elysee was
superb. The sun shone glitteringly on
the brilliant uniforms of the officers as
the procession marched between the
long avenue of trees, with its immense
bordering multitude of sight-seers on
both sides. Along the Rue de Rivoli. the
ratings and gardens of the Tuileries.
the statues, ,kiosks, lamp posts and every
thing capable of supporting sight
seer were taken advantage of by all who
were lucky enough to obtain standing
or holding room upon such points of
vantage. There was one serious
accident. A man standing up
on some railiugs overbalanced
himself and was impaled and
that hundreds of people tainted. and,
owing to the packed crowds, it was with
great difficulty that they could be sue
cored and removed. The action of
President Casimer-Perier in attending
the funeral received the approval of
the populace. By some it was regarded
simply as mark of respect for the
memory of his predecessor: by others
it was regarded as n defiance of anar-
chy. At several points the president
was greeted with applause. which was,
however, speedily hushed in view of
the soemnity of the occasion. Marshal
Canobert. the last of the marshaIs of
France. who was supported by two
officers and two

representing Alsace and Lorraine, was
also applauded. A panic occurred at
the arcades of the Rue de la Rivoli
near True Cambon. As the end of the
procession passed an officers horse

Those behind the first few lines of the
crowd were not aware of the cause OF
the disturbance, and son. foolish per-
son shouted, IA bomb" The affrighted
sightseerS made desperate rush in
their efforts to escape what they be-
lieved to be an impending explosion.
Stands and benches packed with people
were overturned, some persons fell to
the ground and were trampled under
foot, and women screamed and tainted.
The procession was stopped, and whe n
the police succeeded in reaSSuring the
crowds it was found that, although
numbers were hurt. no one was
seriously injured. The procession
reached the cathedral OF Notre Dune aU
noon, where most impressive scene
was witnessed. Gen. Borius. sur
rounded by all the generals and officers
of the staff. stood on the left side of the
Place du Parvis Notre Dame. AS the
| casket was taken from the funeral car
the officers all saluted together, the
troops presented arms, the trumpets
rang out grand salute, the mut1l ed
drums rolled and the bells tolled mourn
fully. the whole filling the air with a
strange wailing sound which echoed
far and wide. The archbishop of Paris,
Cardinal Richard. then emerged from
the cathedral, followed by the whole
