THE LOUVRE .
The Louvre is a building of countless tra
ditions. Le Bon Roi Dagobert is said to have
kept his horses and wolf-hounds here when
the river bank was all forest. Philip Augus
tus, about the year 1200, convarted the hunt
ing box of the early French kings into a tower
and moated fortress. A great tower in the
centre was the keep; and dukes of Brittany,
kings of Navarre, and counts of Flanders, in
various ages, acquired rheumatism in its
dungeons. The old fortress was outside the
walls of Paris, but Charles V aud VI enclosed
it within the tnca'nte for greater security.
The original palace was only three hundred
feet long. The names of some of the towers
of the old Louvre such as the Tour de l'Or
geuil, tke Tour ou se met le Roi quand on
joute, the Tour de la Fanoonnerie give one
the notion of a dismal, loopholed, tnrreted
kind of a Newgate, dark, strong, and repel
ling. Francis I pulled down this old jack
daw's nest, and reared an Italian palace,
where he entertained the Emperor Charles
V with reckless magnificence. Ilenry II,
Catherine de Medici, Charles IX, lienry
III, Henry IV, and Louis XIII all added
to the Louvre. It was from a river-side
window, in a part of the building pulled down
by Louis XIII, that Charles IX fired
with insane eagerness on the Huguenots
fugitives. Henry IV began tho long gallery
to connect the Louvre with the Tuilories,
and completed it as far as to be able to walk
through it before his death. After his assas
sination by Ravaillac, the king's body was laid
out in state in an apartment of the old
Louvre. But in the reign of Louis XIV the
old tree put forth a noble shoot. At the sug
gestion of Colbert, the king resolved to com
plete the palace and the grand gallery parallel
with the river. Levau, the king's architect,
had begun the principal facade; but it did not
satisfy Colbert, who invited a competition of
architects. The plan chosen was by Claude
Perrault, who had been bred a physician.
The south, or Seine, front was also by him.
The court of the Louvre is a square of three
hundred and forty-eight feet. Voltaire says
of the facade of the Louvre: "It is one of
the most august monuments of architecture
in the world, and there is not one of the
palaces of Rome whose entrances is com
parable to that of the Louvre, for which we
are indebted to ; Perrault, whom Boileau at
tempted to turn into ridicule."
When Louis XIV began Versailles, he grew
tired of his other toy, the Xouvre, part of
which remained unroofed even down to the-
time of the great Napoleon, who completed
the long picture gallery connecting the Lou
vre with the Tuileries, and turned the palace
into a vast national lnusoura, fall of the most
glorious plunder military thief ever looted.
On the 17th of February, 1820, and four
following days, the body of the murdered
Due de Berri, who had died begging that
Louvel, his assassin, might be pardoned,
lay in state in the south quadrangle of the
Louvre.
One of the most historical rooms in the
Louvre is the Salle de Caryatides, for here
Henry IV'b marriage was celebrated with
Margaret de Valois, and here he lay in state
after Ravaillac had struok the blow. In this
chamber the stern Dus de Guise hung four of
the most reckless of the Leaguers; and here
Moliere built his theatre, and performed in
some of the best comedies.
-J. P.. of Peeksklll. writes the editor of the
local sheet that 'youl git your hed punched it

According to the late census there ire 9033

An exchange says: "We are in receipt of

the other on a 'Bleeding Heart.' We will wait
until we receive one on the 'Stomach Ache,' and
publish them all three together."
