 districts, and which the illustrious scientist was 

 determined to vanquish by the combined power 

 of genius and persistence. He was interrupted 

 for a few weeks by the obligation of represent- 

 ing France at the celebration of the tri-cen- 

 tenary of the University of Edinburgh, in com- 

 pany with Messrs. Caro, Greard, de Lesseps, 

 Guizot and Eugene Guillaume. In London the 

 French delegates found a private parlor car 

 awaiting them, thanks to Mr. Younger, a 

 Scotch brewer, who wished in this manner to 

 thank Pasteur for his studies in relation to beer. 

 It was a recognition of the fine generosity of 

 the French savant, who had enriched com- 

 merce and manufactures to the extent of mil- 

 lions, while refusing to retain anything for 

 himself. And that is one of the brightest sides 

 of the glory of France.
