CHRONICLE OF THE WEEK.

---------------- ♦ --------------

TH E funeral of M. Pasteur took place on

Saturday last. The body was tempom. rarily deposited in the crypt of Notre Dame, after being conveyed thither with all the

Cathedral, where it will remain until the tomb in the grounds of the Pasteur Institute is ready to receive it. A t the meeting of the French Academy held on the Thursday before the funeral, a letter from M. J. B. Pasteur formally announced to the Academy the death o f his father. Then the Due d’Aumale, in his capacity as director of the Academy, spoke of the loss that had befallen them, a loss shared by France and the whole wotld. Pasteur had been a benefactor of humanity, and therefore his memory would be honoured in every age. The meeting then rose in sign of mourning.

pomp of a State funeral. The long cortege, formed of a blending of civil and military elements, passed along through a large but by no means a choking crowd of mourners and sightseers. The funeral started from the Pasteur Institute, in the Rue Dutot, about half-past ten o ’clock. Preceding it rode Municipal Guards, behind whom were General Saussier, his staff, and the first infantry division of the Paris garrison, the men carrying their arms sloped. The civil delegations, with large and numerous coronals, came next. Among these were Alsatians and Lorrainers, brewers from Strasburg, representatives o f the French beer and wine trade, delegates from Dole, in the Jura, the birth-place o f Pasteur, students from Paris, Lille, Caen, and Nancy, representatives o f medical and scientific bodies, including those o f Great Britain and Ireland, Generals in full uniform ■ from the Chancery of the Legion o f Honour, Senators, Deputies, Municipal Councillors, Academicians, and foreign diplomatists. Besides the smaller coronals, there were six funeral cars weighted with tasteful wreaths, among which were a large silver laurel branch and enamelled palm from the Due d’Orleans. The President of the Republic arrived at the Cathedral almost immediately after the clergy had met the body, and was conducted to a seat nearly opposite to the throne o f the Archbishop. The Grand Duke Constantine of Russia and Prince Nicholas of Greece entered after the President; behind them following th*e Ministers, the academical delegations, the members of the diplomatic corps, and the generals. After a Low Mass, which was said by one of the vicars, Cardinal Richard gave the Absolution, and the body was placed on another catafalque on the parvis outside the Cathedral. There M . Poincare made a long speech, in which he gave an able' resume o f Pasteur’s work, from his studies in fermentation to those relating to human maladies. Then followed a march past of the troops before the catafalque, after which the body was transferred to its temporary resting-place in one of the chapels in the crypt, under the apse of the

On Sunday the anniversary of the death of Mr. Parnell was celebrated by an imposing anniversary, procession through the principal streets of

Dublin to Glasnevin Cemetery. Large con­

tingents of people arrived from the country by special trains. The procession itself was remarkable for its dimensions and its orderliness, while its effect was heightened by the numerous bands which, with muffled drums, played solemn music as it passed through the city. Nearly all the Parnellite members o f Parliament, and the principal Parnellites throughout the country, including official representatives from a number c f cities and towns, took part in the procession. Whilst acknowledging Mr. Parnell’s services to the cause of Ireland during many years The Freem an's J o u rn a l, in a leading article on the celebration, deplored the factions that have sprung up around his memory and have split up the Irish party. It declared that the Parnellites or Redmondites are “ trading on Mr. Parnell’s great name, which alone saves them from political bankruptcy.” The “ annual mock funeral o f Mr. Parnell ” is kept up by them for their own purposes, whilst “ the reality, the solemnity has,” it is contended, “ passed out of it...............T he main glory of Mr. Parnell was that he united all Irish Nationalists in ,a solid and united phalanx.” These men, the Redmondifes, are said to be “ begging round his grave for support, in a campaign o f discord and dissension.” A Parnejjfite Convention was held in Dublin on Monday enjng, presided over by Mr. John Redmond, M .P ., who, the course of an address, said “ the way to obtain Home Rule was to make it costly, difficult, and dangerous to England to refuse it. I f Ireland was once more united on proper lines that policy would push itself to the front in a week, despite the large majority of the present Government. Should the Government succeed in governing Ireland well and removing every other grievance, the Irish people would consider it their duty to use every additional advantage they got to make their demand for self-government all the
