Near Paris.

PARIS, Sept 30.-Prof. Louis Pas
tcur, the eminent bacteriologist, died
Saturday evening at o'clock at
Garches, near st. Cloud, in the envi-
rons of this city. Prof. Pasteur had suf
fered from paralysis for n considerable
period of time. About eight days ago
he sustained a violent paralytic stroke,
and Friday suffered still another severe
attack. He grew worse rapidly and
remained in n comatose condition
during his last hours. The end was
absolutely without pain. His wife de-
votedly watched his bedside. His son,
his physician, his daughter and his SON
in-law, Nj. Valleryradot, and two
grandchildren, as we'll as DIR. Roux
and DIR. Chantnesse, were present when
he passed away. 1t is believed that
the funeral of DIR. Pasteur will be ma
tional in character.
