A short, clear, concise and complete Guide to Paris and neighbourhood. For all strangers visiting Paris, there are three things of paramount importance, viz. : Time, Money and a good and reliable Guide. Presuming my readers are possessed of sufficient of the two former necessaries, will endeavour in the following pages to supply the latter.

PREFACE
The Editor of '• PARIS ARTISTIC issued a small Paris Directory last year, which was favourably received and circulated largely in the English and American Circles of Paris.
This Directory has been revised and under the title '• PARIS ARTISTIC will be published half-yearly in Paris and will contain the names and addresses of prominent persons where mail matter can be addressed either on the Con- tinent, in America or in England.
To the Directory has also been added an Artistic Description of Paris. This will speak for itself. The Editor only hopes that it will be of use and interest to his readers and that it will meet with the same unanimous approval as have done his Universal Graphic Railway Guide and Paris Directory The Publisher begs that the subscribers of PARIS ARTISTIC ", will kindly send any information of change of address or correct any errors which this, the first number, may contain.
The Business Directory and the selected class of advertisements will be found very useful to visitors or residents both in Paris and on the Continent. Any information will be gladly received addressed to :
Mr JARRETT-KNOTT, Publisher PARIS ARTISTIC" 2, rue de I'Echelle (Avenue de I'Opéra) PARIS.
The aim of the Editor of this book is to present to the public something having claims to real artistic merit and value, and not a Guide issued as an advertising medium, but as a good guide, that is to say a friend, a confident, who being broken in to Parisian manners and habits says to you on arriving: Go to such an hotel, take such a cab and pay so much, apportion your time in this manner, follow this or that itinerary.
Such is the object of this work, which takes the traveller at his departure and does not leave him till he returns..Is a devoted friend it will be your companion and nothing more.
THE GREAT QUESTIONS The stranger who makes up his mind to come to Paris without friends or relations asks himself generally these live questions :
THE JULY COLUMN (Place de la Bastille) IOJIbCUAfl KOJIOHHA (GACT~EBCKAR MOmAftb)
1° Where shall I lodge?
2° How shall I live ?
3° How shall I find my way in the Parisian labyrinth ?
40 How shall I portion out my time?
5° How much shall I spend?
Where shall I lodge?
The question of accomodation is for the stranger an important consideration, for a good bed, a comfortable apartment and good service are items not to be despised.
Thus I have chosen, after having classed them by quarter, the hotels and pensions that may be recommended, both for situation and comfort, to all classes of travellers.
Much has been said of the exaggerated prices of Paris hotels; but I am not at all of that opinion if I compare them with the prices of the hotels of Holland, Germany or other countries.
In Paris for ten, six or even five francs a day a good room may be had near the avenue de l'Opéra or the Bourse.
Besides, the traveller may be reminded that in Paris he enjoys the most complete liberty, that is to say that he can, in certain hotels, take his meals outside without having the price of his room augmented. In order to be really comfortable it is best to write in advance to some
known establishment or to present yourself on our part, our Guide in hand, to one of the hotels that we recommend.
GENERAL INFORMATION LETTERS OF CREDIT The best thing for travellers coming to Europe are Letters of Credit issued in Sterling or Francs which are available through-out Europe and the East.
American mails are generally received in Paris on Monday, Thursday and Friday of each week, occasionally Sunday.
PASSPORTS Travellers are recommended always to carry a passport in Europe, as they will be found very useful when clearing registered letters and for proof of identity. They are absolutely necessary when travelling in Russia, Germany, Austria, Greece, Portugal, and Turkey; they should on no account

be omitted in France, Spain, or other countries where the rigour is not seemingly so intense. If you receive a registered letter addressed to any Poste reslante Office in France, where you happen not to be well known, and cannot produce your passport, no entreaties will enable you to obtain possession of that letter. Students who wish to enter the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.
to read at the Bibliothèque nationale, or to copy in the public art galleries, for instance, must be provided with a passport. If you have not brought one with you, and are English, apply to the Passport Office at H. B.
M. 's Embassy, 39, rue
du Faubourg St-Honoré; or, if a citizen of the United States, to the Office of the U. S. Legation, 59, rue Galilée, Paris. If you live in the Provinces apply to the Consulate of the country to which you belong, and on proof of your identity, all necessary questions being answered and the fees paid, the passport will in due course be delivered to you.

THE ATTRACTIONS OF PARIS Almost anything can be said of Paris except that it is wearisome. Paris is really the city of pleasure, and of pleasure par excellence; nowhere else can one amuse oneself so much or in so many ways, and he who does not find any distractions to his taste is a man who does not know how to amuse himself.
RUSSIAN CHURCH
In this graceful edifice, situated in the rue Daru, on Church fête days, the gorgeous ceremonial of the Greek Church may be observed in its entirety.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT PARIS
Paris in spite of its agitations and its political commotions will always be the capital of the world.
One comes, and one will always come, to Paris, for there is only one Paris in the world. To see Paris is the desire of all foreigners, of everyone from the provinces, and the newly married couples wish to spend their honeymoons there.Where can we find a town more seductive, with more attractions and pleasures? Every thing in Paris enchants you : the museums, theatres, shops, etc. I would add that it is sometimes wise to resist the ete's Come, then to Paris, stran-

gers of all nations, and be completely reassured, for according to its ancient decree, the Parisian skiff
GRAND STAIRCASE OF THE OPERA HOUSE BO~JIBmAfl ~JTBCTHHIJA OIIEPM
has often been tossed by the tempest but it has never been submerged ; "Fluctuat nec mergitur".
The town, divided into two parts by the Seine, contains twenty arrondissements, which are subdivided in their turn into eighty quarters. At the head of the twenty arrondissements is the Prefect of the Seine, who fulsils in addition the function of Central Mayor. Each arrondissement ib directed by a Mayor and three deputy Mayors.
Paris counts 2,422,696 inhabitants. The town as enclosed by the fortifications covers 8,000 hectares and its circumference is more than twentyone miles.
RESTAURANTS Paris, the town of all resources, and for all purses, contains different restaurants whose prices vary according to the quarter and the reputation of the house. You have only to make your choice. I permit myself to offer you in this matter a few suggestions which may enable you to live in a manner suitable to your taste and means.
The restaurants of Paris may be divided into four categories : 1° Restaurants à la carte; 2° Restaurants at fixed prices; 30 Bouillons and cremeries; 4° Tables d'hote.
If you listen to an epicure he will tell you that the restaurants A la carte are the only ones to be recommended. I am not of that opinion.
The prices of these restaurants are usually very high, but the service is better, the cooking more appetizing, the wine better, the menu more varied and the portions larger.
Would you be served at express speed? Consult the menu on entering and tJII the waiter what you desire for your dinner. The waiter will bring, meanwhile, especially if you are with a lady, a hors-d'œuvre of some SJrt. such as radishes and butter, shrimps, or auchovies, temptations which sometimes come very expensive. When you have finished, the bill will be brought to you; always verify it, for cashiers, oven in Paris, are not infallible.
Restaurants A prix fixe or at so much per head have an incontestable advantage over all the others. They offer for a stipulated price; two, three, four or five francs, a certain number of courses which vary every day according to the menu. We recommend these restaurants to people of limited means and who like to know in advance how much they wili have to pay.
Many of these restaurants a prix fixe are to be found in the Palais-Royal, in the passages and in the great centres. The prices vary from 1 fr. 25 to 4 fr. per head and per meal.
TABLES D'HOTE. — If you are afraid of being poisoned by uncertain and unknown dishes, choose by preference the table d'hôte. You may for 8 fr. at the Grand Hôtel, 7 fr. at the Hôtel Continental and the Hôtel Terminus, or even for 3 or 4 fr. at the ordinary table d'hôte live as at home.
CABINET PARTICULIER. — These cabinets particuliers are private rooms where one may dine either in society or en bonne fortune. Outside the reach of the indiscretions of the public, these cabinets particuliers are to be found in all large restaurants. They usually have a separate entrance, separate staircase, separate bell and special furniture. Naturally the prices are high and sometimes even exaggerated. It is wise to have an understanding in advance and always to verify the bill.
RESTAURANTS OPEN ALL NIGHT. — Certain restaurants have the privilege of remaining open all night and the permission to open their rooms to private parties. It is said that great amusement is to be had in this way, but remember that prudence is the mother of safety.
PURCHASING GOODS
Few people come to Paris without profiting by their visit by making certain purchases. We have thought of being useful to our readers by giving, at the end of this book, a list of commercial houses, arranged according to trade, in alphabetical order, which we can personnally recommend as being good, first-class houses of business, where one may be sure of fair treatment, even though a foreigner. Avoid especially sales, sales after bankruptey and liquidations etc., and always go to a known and honourable house, where the prices are marked and invariable. It is unquestionably the cheapest in the end, by a great deal.
The best and most elegant business houses are to be found on the grand boulevards and on the principal arteries-leading to them, such as the avenue de l'Opéra, rue de la Paix, etc. Don't leave Paris without making a promenade of the grand boulevards, from the Madeleine to the site of the Bastille, which form a splendid and incomparable exhibition.
- IMPOSITIONS AND OBLIGATIONS
Paris, like all great centres, has its annoyances and its abuses. It is usual, for instance, if you take a cab either by the hour or by course, to give 25 centimes at least to the cabman, or if you go to a restaurant or a café to leave some change fur the waiter. If you go to a theatre with a lady, she will be forced to accept a footstool for which the box-opener will ask you politely for 50 centimes.
The coiffeur (hair dresser) also always expects a gratuity.
CORRESPONDENCE
It is the custom in Paris to write one's mail in the cafés. The necessary paper, pen and ink are brought gratuitously by the waiter.
THE LETTER POSTING
Do not forget, if you wish your letter to go the same evening, to post it : before five o'clock in the street boxes, before 5.30 in the ordinary post offices, and before 6 o'clock at the general post oflice, and at the offices at the rue de Clery, place de la Bourse, rue Marsollier, 13 rue des Capucines, and place du Théâtre-Francais. Letters are registered at the ordinary offices, at the general post office and at the offices above named untill 4.45 p. m.
TOO LATE!!!
If you are too late with your letter it may go all the same either by taking it to one of the stations or by affixing an additional stamp of 15 centimes We must mention certain agencies: notably
that - at the office of the Petit Parisian, 20, boulevard Montmartre, where for 5 centimes one can leave one's letters up to the last minute.
INFORMATION Do you want information ? Have you lost your way? Are you looking for a street?
With all confidence you may ask the Ie sergents de ville (policemen) to be found in every quarter.
Are you looking for an address? Consult the Bottin, Tout Paris, or if for English, Americans or Russians the Paris Artistic. These first-class directories are to be found in all hotels, cafés and public buildings.
THE BATHS
The baths of Paris are a great convenience to the traveller, who has often but
TOO LATE
little time at his disposal. The price varies from 60 centimes to 1 franc, and they are to be found in every quarter. All the large Hotels have bath rooms installed with all the latest improvements.
CABS There are naturally in Paris cabs of all sorts, omnibuses, tramways and boats. You have only to make your price. The cabs can be taken by the hour or by drive. The tariff varies according to the case : if it is a cab for two or four people, if the drive is taken in Paris or outside of the fortifications, if the cab is taken by day or by night. If you take a cab by the hour compare the time of your watch with that of the cabman. That will avoid discussions.
Stands of public vehicles may be seen all over Paris. The following are tlii fares:
INSIDE PARIS BEYOND THE FORTIFICATIONS
From 6 o'clock a. m. in summer (1st April to ]st From half-an- Bois de Boulogne, Bois de Vinhour after mid- cennes, and the communes outside October),and from 7 a. m. in winter (1st October night to 6 a. m. the fortifications.

Coacehmen load and unload all trunks, etc..Whatever article can be carried in the hand, or taken inside without injuring the vehicle, cannot be charged as luggage.

The traveller should show the driver the time by his watch. After the first hour, the time above the full hour is paid in proportion. The driver is bound

to give a printed slip (bulletin) with his number, which it is as well to preserve for the recovery of any articles that may have been forgotten in the cab.
Articles left in cabs or omnibuses are claimed by application to the Prefecture of Police, 7, boulevard du Palais.
Promenades in the Bois de Boulogne. — Cabs hired for drives in the Bois de Boulogne can only be taken by the hour (see tariff for outside Paris). If you dismiss the cab outside the fortifications, you owe an indemnity to the cocher of 1 fr. if it is an ordinary cab, or 2 fr. if you have hired it at a livery stable.
LOST OR MISLAID OBJECTS If, during a walk, or in a cab, you happen to lose anything, you should immediately direct your steps towards the office of the commissaire de police of the quarter, make your declaration, note will then be taken and. in case the object is found information will be sent you in the course of a few days.
In case you should find anything ; unnecessa- ry for me to say that the article found should be immediately handed over to a police agent, who will do the necessary.
HEALTH! ILLNESS!
Life in Paris is full of agitation, the temerature is variable and it is always possible for one to feel a little indisposed. Every Hotel has its Doctor, and we give, page 300 a list of English and American Doctors practicing in Paris and neighbourhood. In case of sud-
den serious illness one cannot do better than go to the Hertford British Hospital, rue de Villiers, Levallois-Perret, Paris, where you will be sure of having the best medical attention.
ATTRACTIONS The attractions of Paris, so numerous, and above all, so inviting to the visitor, have their special days, varying according to the season. We cannot therefore indicate them in any absolute manner.
- PERMANENT ATTRACTIONS The Folies-Bergere, rue Richer, near the fbg. Montmartre. — By reason of its excellent programme, is one of those privileged establishments which boasts of a good audience every night of the week. Representations every evening. Sundays and fête-days, matinées. Entrance from 2 francs.
Olympia. 28, bd. des Capucines. Summer: 1 fr.Winter: 2 francs. The nearest thing in Paris to an English music-hall, and is to be specially recommended, by reason of its spectacular attractions to all who are but superficially conversant with French. Every evening. Sundays and fête-days, matinées.
The Casino de Paris, 15, rue Blanche and 16, rue de Clichy. Every evening. Entrance 2 francs.
Nouveau Cirque, 25, rue St-Honoré. This circus is one of the favourite resorts of English and Americans in Paris. It possesses a moveable arena, which by means of powerful machinery may

SUMMER CAFÉ-CONCERTS The Ambassadeurs (Champs-Elysées). — Is the first to the right of the avenue, and quite close to the place de la Concorde. This establishment is a type of the kind.

Matinées, Sundays and fête days.
The Alcazar, the second to the right of the avenue, is conducted on much the same lines as the Ambassadeurs. Matinées, Sundays and fêtes.
The Horloge is similar to the above but possesses the additional advantage of being provided with a moveable roof, a convenience by no means to be despised in the event of a thunder-storm.
The Eldorado, on the boulevard du Strasbourg, is one of the best of the café-concerts of Paris.
It may also e classed among the WINTER CAFÉ-CONCERTS The Scala, boulevard de Strasbourg, in front of the Eldorado.
The Cigale, boulevard Rochechouart.
Bataclan, 50, boulevard Voltaire, near the place de la République, is an excellent caféconcert, but, like all the others of the quarter, it is too far from the centre of the city.
The other popular concerts are : The Moulin-Rouge (place Blanche). — Which is too well known to require any notice here.
The Jardin de Paris (Champs-Elysées). — Behind the Palais de l'lndustrie. Concert and ball every evening at 8 o'clock from the 1st of May to the 1st of October.
Bullier, at the extremity of the boulevard Saint-Michel and near the observatory. Situated in the centre of the Latin Quarter, it is the favorite rendez-vous of the students and their lady friends.
There are Bals every Thursday. Saturday and Sunday evening and Bal masques during the Carnaval.
IMPORTANT NOTICE There are three concerts which no lover of good music should fail to visit. They are : The Concerts Lamoureux, founded in 1882 and directed by M. Lamoureux.

POSTAL SERVICE Nouvel Hôtel des Postes. — The new General Post Office, constructed on the site of the old one, which, by reason of the thickly-built state of the quarter, was extremely difficult of access. The present building, at the junction of the rues du Louvre, Etienne-Marcel and JeanJacques-Rousseau, can boast of no architectural beauties, but is remarkable for its well-regulated departments. The public enter by the Rue du Louvre, into a hall fifty metres long where are
installed the various Lureaux. The first and second floors are used for sorting and the van-service ; the third story is reserved for storage, etc. and for the preservation of the Archives.
AT THE POSTE-RESTANTE
Poste-Restante. — Many visitors not knowing at what hotel they will stay, have their letters addressed at the posterestante either at the G. P. O. or to one of the district offices. These latter have often the same hours as the chief office. As a proof of identity there is nothing better than a passport.

The documents, including the attestation from the Foreign Office, must be stamped in France.

In view of the enormous and daily increasing trade between America, England and France, and as the value of goods is expressed differently in the three countries both as regards currency and the weights and measures, it may no be amiss to give our readers a few
tables, by which they will be enabled to calculate at a glance the comparative values, as near as it cnn be expressed without going into fractions lower than 1/4 d in English, 1 cent in American and 510 in French Money.
OMNIBUSES AND TRAMWAYS Paris is traversed by 75 lines of omnibuses and 35 lines of tramways, and it is possible to gain almost any nart of the town by this means of communication. The fare on the omnibuses and tram-
THE HOTEL DE VILLE — AVMA llAPmKA
ways, with the exception of some of the lines running into the suburbs, is 15 centimes on the imperial or knifeboard, and 3.0 centimes in the interior.
Passengers can change from one omnibus to another on asking the conductor for a ticket called une corres- pondance when they pay their fare. On changing, the passenger must go to the office and ask for a number for his new destination. Outside passengers taking a correspondance must pay full fare, 30 centimes. The advantage of a correspondance" is that a person can travel from one end of Paris to the other by the payment of a single fare.
TRAMWAYS These lines arc in three networks or systems : the Tramways de la Compagnie des Omnibus, the Southern, and the Tramways de Paris and du Departement de la Seine. The fares are the same as for omnibuses; 30 centimes inside or on the platform, and 15 centimes on the roof. Those which run to subur ban localities make a small additional charge beyond the fortifications. They give correspon- dance tickets, either for their own lines or fur the omnibuses.

I have endeavoured in the preceding pages to give as complete a Guide to Paris as possible, considering the length of time at my disposal. For those having 14 days to spare, I would say follow the preceding itinerary for the first eight days, being careful to arrange excursions according to the days at their heading, on account of the fact that certain Monuments and Museums are only open on certain days and hours.

10th DAY (WEDNESDAY). Excursion to Fontainebleau; visit the palace and drive in the forest.

14th DAY (SUNDAY). - Excursion to Saint-Denis; visit the Cathedral. From there to Enghien and Montmorency.
A month could well be passed in excursions into the environs of Paris, visiting different villages, each having its pecular and individual features and attractions, never visiting the same neighbourhood twice, and continuing the excursions every month throughout the year never seeing a village twice under the same conditions, owing to the change in the seasons and the corresponding change in the general aspect and surroundings.
In the foregoing excursions I have included the principal places having a special interest for the tourist. A whole volume would, however, be required to give a complete guide and description to the environs of Paris At the end of this guide isa detailed description of some of the principal Parisian holiday resorts.
For tourists desirous of doing Paris on foot, I have arranged a series af skeleton promenades, to cover a period of twenly days.

PALACES PALAIS DES TUILERIES (Tuileries Palace). — The ancient Tuileries Palace was burnt down during the communist stru!..(gle and its site is now occupied by a beautiful square prece- ding the Tuileries Gardens and facing the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel and Gambetta's Monument.
PALAIS DU LOUVRE (Louvre Palace. — The present Louvre Palace was commenced by Francois 1st. in 1541, ou the sile of an aucient fortress, constructed by Philip Augustus, of which some remains were discovered in 1883 under the salle des Cariatides.
Continued by the successors of Francois Ier the Louvre Palace, inhabited by Catherine de Médicis, Charles IX. and Louis XIII remained for a long time unfinished and at last threatened to fall into ruins. In 1805 Napoleon 1st ordered the restoration of the Palace, but time did not allow him to complete this enormous undertaking. After him, Louis XVIII. Charles X. and Louis-Philippe did little towards its completion and it was finished by Napoleon III. from the plans by Visconti. It is said that the ancient castle above referred to was used as a hunting seat by Dagobert, as at that time the woods extended down to the water's edge and over the present site of Northern Paris.
In 1200 Philip Augustus used it as a state prison. Charles IX. inhabiled the old Louvre and it was from its windows that he fired upon the victims during the perfidious massacre of St. Bartholemew. It also served for some time as the residence of Queen Henrietta of England, widow of the unfortunate Charles I. The magnificently worked bronze gates were made by order of Napoleon 1st.
A small garden on the south-western side is called the Garden of the Infanta, from the Spanish Princess who came into France, in 1721, to marry Louis XV. Similar gardens run all round the palace.
Interior — Almost all the interior of this palace is devoted to the museums collectively known under the name of Musses du Louvre, for which it is so celebrated.
■ PALAIS ROYAL. — The. galleries of the Palais-Royal are open to the public every day.
■ The. Palace itself is now occupied by the Connsel of state and the interior is no longer opened to the public. The elegant facade of columns has been restored and serves as an entree d'honneur The Palace, which.played so important a part in the political annals of France, was, for a long period, the property of the Duke of Orleans (Louis-Philippe) and was used, during the last Empire, as the residence of Prince Napoleon, cousin of the Emperor. On the side of the rue Saint-Honore the facade is monumental and in harmony with the new Louvre, facing it. The best view is to be had from the square in front of the Louvre.After the death of Louis XIII. in 1643, Anne of Austria, with the young king. Louis XIV. made it her abode during the turbulent times of the Fronde. In 1692, it was ceded by Louis XIV. to Philippe of Orleans, his nephew; as part of his apanage on his marriage with Mlle, de Blois. In 1763,
This palace was begun by Marie de Medicis, from the designs of Desbrosses in 1615. Since the revolution, it has successively been used by the Peers and Senate.
Le petit Luxembourg, in the « rue de Vaugirard » is the residence of the President of the Senate, and contains a cloister with fountains as well as the old chapel of the convent of the Filles - du - Calvaire, work of the XVI century.
THE TUILERIES GARDENS
~TIOJEPIHCKlft CAflt
Our view shews these gardens as seen from the site of the ancient Palace.
In the distance, is the Avenue des Chanps - Elysees, surmounted by the Arc de Triomphe, which was the highest point in Paris from which a view of the city might be had before the erection of the Eiffel Tower.
the theatre, built by the cardinal, was destroyed by fire; and, on this occasion, the entire front of the palace, with its two wings, was rebuilt after the designs of Moreau. The debts of the duke having become so enormous that he once meditated a declaration of insolvency, it was determined, by the advice of the brother of Mine de Genlis, to erect; buildings with shop s and places of amusement, in the garden of the palace, as a means of augmenting his revenue. These were begun in 1781, upon the designs of the architect Louis: the houses and arcades, as they now stand were finished in 1786.
The s plan succe led. After the execution of the duke in 1793, his palace, then called Palais Egalité, was confiscated, and soon converted into salerooms, ball-rooms, cafes, etc. The Palace was taken and devastated by the mob on Feb. 24, 1848, and in that and the following year, it became, under the name of Palais National, a place of meeting for some of the republican members of the Consti- tuent Assembly. In 1850, 1851, and 1852, it was used for exhibitions ; but immediately after the revival of the Empire, it was assigned to Prince Jerome for a residence. The commune set fire to it on the 23d of May, 1871.
PALAIS DE LA BOURSE (Stock-Exchange), rue Vivienne and place de la Bourse. — Open free to the public every day, excepting Sunday, from 12 to 3 for Stock Exchange business and from 3 to 5 for ordinary commercial transactions.

Advice. - Do not go well dressed or with a tall hat as the tock-urokers are not so orderly as we are accustomed to see in London, in fact, some unfortunate visitors get very roughly handled, especially if foreigners. One should make up a party of 5 or 6 gentlemen before intruding into the stock-brokers' sanctuary.
The Bourse contains two admirable imitations of bas-reliefs representing the opening of the Bourse by Charles X. and France receiving tribute from the five parts of the earth, the Union of Commerce, Sciences and Arts, and the principal towns of France.
The building erected by the architects Brongniart and Labarre, has the form of a Greek Temple, and is surrounded by 66 Corinthian pillars. It was opened in 1826.

A bronze door gives access to the crypt; over it, on a black marble slab, are the following words, quoted from the Emperor's will : Je desire que mes cendres reposent sur les bords de la Seine, au milieu de ce peuple français que j'ai tant aimé", Two colossal bronze caryatides, by Duret, at the entrance, hold the globe, sceptre, and imperial crown. A gloomy gallery, running under the high altar, now leads to the crypt, dimly lighted by funereal lamps of bronze, and adorned with bas-reliefs, designed by Simart, and executed by Lanno, Petit, and Oltin, representing : 1. The Termination of Civil War; 2, the Concordat; 3, the Reform of the Administration; 4, the Council of State; 5, the Code; 6, the University; 7, the Court of Account; 8, the Encouragement of Triide and Commerce; 9, Public Works; 10. the Legion of Honour: all due to the reign of Napoleon III. The pavement of the crypt is decorated with a crown of laurels in mosaic, within which, on a black circle, are inscribed the names of the following victories : — Rivoli,.
Pyramids, Marengo, Austerlitz, lena, Friedland, Wagram, and Moskowa. Twelve colossal statues, by Pradier, representing as many victories, stand against the pilasters, facing the tomb, which consists of an immense monolith of porphyry, weighing 135,000 lbs., and brought from Lake Onegain Finlan I at a cost of 140,000 fr. It covers the sarcophagus, also a single block, 12 feet long and. 6 in breadth, resting upon two plinths, which stand on a block of green granite, brought from the Vosges.
The total height is 13 1/2 feet. In the gallery which encircles the crypt is a recess, called the Chapelle Ardente, containing the sword the Emperorwore at Austerlitz, the insignia he wore on State occasions, the crown of gold voted by the town of Cherbourg, and the colours taken in different battles.
At the farthest end of the recess stands the statue of the Emperor in his imperial robes, due to the chisel of Simart. This reliquary is closed with gilt doors. Special permission must, however, be obtained from the Minister of War in order to visit this part of the monument. The crypt is only visible from the circular parapet above. The marble cost 2,000,000 fr.: the whole expense amounted to 9,000,000 fr.
In a vault beneath the pavement of the dome arc deposited the bodies of Marshal Mortier and the other fourteen victims of Fieschi's attempt.
Hotel des Invalides. — This part of the Palais des Invalides owes its existence to Louis XIV., who sounded it 1670 to assure a happy existence to wounded or infirm military men, who found themselves without resources after having sought for their country. But the establishment was not really organized untd ttic time of Napoleou I.
Originaly intended to lodge 5,000 pensioners, this immense structure, occupying a superficial area of 126.985 sq metres, only now contains about 250, the old soldiers preferring to live independently with the pension allowed them.
Lodged, led, warmed and clothed by the State, the invalid soldiers are taken the greatest care of.
The food is good, wholesome and sufficiently abundant, their sleeping apartments are light and airy, and the most irreproachable cleanliness everywhere.
Remark, in the exterior court, 18 cannons, souvenirs of Napoleon's victories, now used to herald fêtes, etc.
At the side of these batteries are various pieces of different calibre, and to the right and left, small gardens, favourite walks of the old warriors.
In front, at the entrance of the Hotel, statue of the Prince Eugene.
There is something majestically imposing in the façade which developes on to the garden. It is 200 ft in length and is composed of three floors. A portico, surmounted by an equestrian statue cf Louis XIV. and near which are two stone statues, marks the entrance to the Palace.
PALAIS DES BEAUX-ARTS, 14, rue Bonaparte. — Open free Sundays from 12 to 4. Other days it may he visited from 10 to 4.

Jonah, Johel, Ezekiel, and Jeremiah.
In the rue Bonaparte we find the principal entrance to the Palais des Beaux-Arts, which we will now describe.
There are two courts in front of the palace. The first is entered through a gateway adorned with busts of Poussin and Pujet. It is Hanked by two buildings of Ionic design : the northern one contains the offices of the Director and two amphitheatres for students; the southern which masks part of the ancient buildings of the convent df-S Petits Augustins, displays in its intecolumniations the sculptured ornaments of a door, and other interesting fragments of the Hotel da la Trémvuille, or Maison de la Couronne d'Or, a splendid specimen of the architecture of the 14th century. On the same wall there is a copy in mosaic of Raphael's picture of God blessing the World, executed by MM. Baize. There is also a monument to the memory of Henri Regnault, the distinguished artist bled at Buzenval during the siege of 1870-71. Adjoining the porter's lodge is the Sixtine Chapel. — The front is formed of the portal of the Chateau d'Anet, built in 1548 for Diana of Poitiers, by Henry II. It is adorned with bas-reliefs and statues, the finest of which is a Cupid in the act of stringing his bow. Over the top arch runs this inscription : Bræsæo hæc statuit pergrata Diana marito Ut diuturna sui sint monumenta viri.

The Editor specially recommends this Society on account of the good taste and large choice of articles displayed, and as being one of the rare houses where the prices of all goods are plainly marked in known figures.
The interior consists of a single nave with an arched roof. The wainscoting at the entrance is the same that adorned the chateau d'Anet. At the end is a copy of Michael Angelo's Last Judgment, by Sigalon, on canvas, occupying the whole wall. In a chapel to the left, are casts of the Moses of Michael Augelo, two tombs, by the same, one of which is that of the Medici; and also a fine cast of the bronze gates, by Ghiberti, of the Baptistery at Florence. The twelve pictures here are copies from Michael Angelo's frescoes in the Sixtine Chapel at Rome.
Returning to the court, the visitor will observe in the centre a Corinthian column of red marble, on the lop of which is the figure of an angel in bronze one of several savedfrom a group, abstracted by the mob from the tomb of Carninal Mazarin. Immediately behind it is the beautiful front of a château erected at Gaillon in 1500 by Cardinal d'Amboise, and transported hither by M. Lenoir. Its western surface is studded with brackets supporting antique statues, and medallions. The second court is flanked by two arched screens, the one to the left florid Saxon, with three arches; the oppo- site one with four; the two central ones supported by a colossal pendant keystone, the whole in the syle of the time of Francis I. Beyond this, in a garden, a fountam, surmounted by four figures, was sculptured by Paolo Poncio. Underneath is an escutcheon by Jean U- Jujn, and two seated figures by Germain Pilon. On thee walls of the court, forming the curves, we perceive interesting specimens of old architectural and sculptural fragments. There is a curious monolith basin of the 13th century, brought from the Abbey of St. Denis, 12 feet in diameter, and ornamented with quaint heads of Ceres, Bacchus, Pan, Neptune, Avarice, and various of animals.
Interior. — In the spacious Corinthian vestibule are staircases right and left leading to the upper stories.

Historical. — This Palace, built for Marie de Médicis. in 1612, by Jacques Desbrosses, upon the model of the Pitti palace at Florence. It was then called by her name. On being bequeathed to Gaston de France, Duke of Orleans, her second son, it assumed the name of Palais d'Orléans, In 1795 the sittings of the Directory were held there, and it was then called Palais du Direcloire, When Bonaparte came into power, it was at first devo ed to the sittings of the consuls, and received the name of Paluis du Consulat, and, shortly after, that of Palais du Serial Conservateur. This senate held its sittings there till its dissolution in 1814, when the Chamber of Peers was created. In March and April 1848 Louis Blanc held his socialist meetings of workmen there. In the subsequent month of May, the Executive Commission ocuipied it during its ephemeral existence. In 1852 it resumedits old de-ttnatton and name of Palais du Senat, and has since bean the hall of sittings of the senate, excepting from 1871 to 1879, when the seatof Governement was at Versailles.
Exterior. - The court forms a parallelogram of 360 feet, by 300. The front towards the rue de Vaugirard consists of two large pavilions, connected together by terraces, in the centre of which rises
a cupola, surrounded with statues. The clock pavilion is ornamented with allegorical figures, 8 feet high, of Eloquence, Justice, Wisdom, Prudence, War, and Peace, by Pradier.

PALAIS DE L'ELYSEE, (Elysée Palace). — Faubourg Saint-Honoré and avenue Gabriel and Champs-Elysées.
Since this palace has become the official residence of the President of the Republic, visitors are no longer admitted. The Elysée, built in 1718 for the comte d'Evreux, was bought by Louis XV. for Madame de Pompadour, after which it became the residence of extraordinary ambassadors.
Inhabited, in turn, by Louis XV, Madame de Pompadour, Napoleon I, the Duke of Wellington, Murat, and the Duchess de Berri, this Palace has witnessed two most stirring events in the History of France, viz. The abdication of Napoleon, after the battle of Waterloo, and the coup d'Etat of 2nd December 1851.
It was the official residence of Napoleon III, while President of the French Republic. During the Great Exhibition of 1867 it was tenanted by the Sultan, by the Emperors of Austria and Russia, and by other princes. The Cour d'Honneur, leads to the entrance of the palace, adorned with a portico of four Doric columns. A broad flight of steps, overspread by a verandah, gives access to a vestibule opening into the suite of apartments on the ground floor, commencing with a dining-room. The walls of this apartment are painted by Dunouy with landscapes, some of the figures of which are by Vernet, and were executed for Murat. The views represented are : the Pyramids of Egypt, the passing of the Tiber, the Château de Benrath, on the Rhine, near Dusseldorf, once occupied by Murat (the carriage in the foreground contains Murat's children), and a view of the château deNeuilly at that time also Murat's property; is said to be a good portrait of Mme. Murat, the sister of Napoleon. This room gives access to a Ball-room of recent erection, in the new wing of the palace, towards the avenue de Marigny. Returning to the Dining-room, a door to the left leads to the Slateapartments. The Salle de Reception was used by Napoleon I. as a council-chamber. This room is now adorned with portraits of the Pope, Victor Emmanuel, the Queens of England and Spain, the Emperor of Austria, etc. There is also a beautiful mosaic representing the map of France in 1684.
Adjoining is the Chambre de Napoleon I. This was his favourite bed-room, where he last slept in Paris after the battle of Waterloo. Next comes the Salle des Souverains, formerly the Salon de Travail, where Napoleon I. signed his last abdication. Here Her Majesty Queen Victoria partook of a splendid collation on the 20th Aug. 1855. It is furnished in Louis XV. style with Beauvais tapestry.
Now completely restored it is one of the richest and most graceful monuments of Paris; extending from the rue du Fanbourg Saint-Honore to the avenue Gabrielle, it forms, with the enormous garden and hot-houses, a complete parallelogram isolated on all sides.

PALAIS HOlAt.
The Palais Royal i> formed of two distinct parts, the Palace proper (ai present occupied by the Conseil d'Etat, to which the public are not admitted) with its facade in the square, and the garden, surrounded by galleries, behind.
Erected by Cardinal Richelieu in 1629 it was named the Palais Cardinal.
Occupied after his death by Anne of Austria, widow of Louis XIII. with her two sons Louis XIV. and Philip of Orleans, the building has since been called the Palais Royal. The South wing was set on fire and destroyed by the communists in May 1871, but it has now been completely restored. (For fuller description see page 43).
These buildings are : The Palais de Justice proper, — the Tour de l'Horloge (Clock Tower), - the Conciergerie, remarkable on account of its three turrets, giving on the quays; - the Prefecture of Police, situated on the quai des Orfèvres; and the Sainte-Chapelle, enclosed by the Palais. Partly burnt during the Commune, the Palais de Justice has since been completely restored, and counts amongst the most beautiful of the Parisian edifices.
A magnificent façade, with gilded railings facing the large clock of the Palace, indicates the principal entrance.
Remark, at the angle of the guay, facing the Tribunal of Commerce, a tower with clock, blue framed, restored in 1852 and 1882. It was from this tower tolled the famous silver bell which, in company with that of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, gave the signal for the perfidious massacre of Saint-Bartholemew's Day 1572.
PALAIS DU CORPS LÉGISLATIF (or Chambre des Députés), Quai d'Orsay, facing the place de la Concorde.

There are 12 Corinthian colums, supporting a front on which France is represented, holding the constitution in her hand, surrounded by Liberty, Peace, War, the Fine Arts, Eloquence, Industry and Commerce. The flight of steps is decorated with colossal statues representing Justice and Prudence and the seated figures of d'Aguesseau, Colbert, l'Hospital and Sully.
The façade of the place du Palais-Bourbon is preceded by a marble statue representing Law.
(FEUCHÈRES, 1855).
The edifice at the side of the Palace is the residence of the President of the Chambre des Deputés.

PALAIS DE L'INDUSTRIE, Carré Marigny, Champs-Elysées. — Open during the annual and other exhibitions.
The Palais de l'lndusterie was erected for the universal exhibition of 1855 by a limited liability company. After the exhibition it was acquired by the State. It is 250 metres long and 110 metres in width, cowering a superficial area of 32,000 metres.
The principal entrance, facing the splendid avenue des Champs-Elysées is surmonted by a.
colossal statue representing France distributing golden crowns to Industry and Art, who are seated at her feet.
The building possesses a magnificent stained-glass window at the extremity of the grand nave, representing France inviting all the nations of the earth to the universal exhibition.
The annual exhibition of paintings and sculpture, known as the Salon, is held in this palace every year from the 1st of May to the 20th June. Entrance fee : week days : 2 francs in the morning and 1 franc during the afternoon (Fridays afternoons 5 francs); Sundays : 1 franc in the morning afternoons 50 c.
This year (1896) is probably the last one which will seethe celebrated Salon held in this building, as the demolition of the Palais de l'lndusterie has been decided upon, to make room for some of the buildings of the great exhibition to be held in Paris in 1900.
PALAIS DE L'HOTEL DE VILLE, Rue de Rivoli. — Certain parts of this palacc are open to the public on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Tickets obtained at the Hotel de Ville, bureau de la Direction des travaux, first floor, cour du Nord.
Note. — Visitors should present themselves at 2 or 2.30 precisely at the Salle des Prévots, cour du Nord, where a guardian is in attendance, who will show the rooms and give explanations.
In 1357 the municipality purchased for 2.880 livres de Paris, the Maison de la Grève, or Maison aux Piliers, which had formerly belonged to Philip Augustus, and was frequently the abode of royalty.
Upon the site of this, the original Hôtel de Ville was erected. It was a monument the interior of which vied in splendour with the Tuileries. Princely festivals were given here to Queen Victoria in 1855, and to various other crowned heads at different periods. The Hôtel de Ville was burnt down by the Commune on the 24th of May, 1871, together with its valuable library of 65,007 volumes. It was quickly decided, however, that the building should be reconstructed, while utilising as far as was possible those portions of the original edifice that were not destroyed by fire. It was considered especially desirable to retain the façade by Godde and Lesueur, fronting the Place Lobau; but this portion of the scheme was abandoned, and it was eventually decided to pull down the whole of the ruins and to build on the bite an Hôtel de Ville identical in all important features with the former cdifice. Designs were advertised for in July, 1872, and those of MM. Ballu and de Perthes were accepted. Subsequently the architects were requested to introduce certain alterations into their plan, so as to allow of greater internal accomodation than that which existed in the old building. The cost of the work was set down at 25,500,000 francs. Although still incomplete, especially as regards the interior fittings, the new Hotel de Ville was publicly opened with great ceremony on the occasion of the National Fête, July 14, 1882. It contains 368 rooms. One of the most noticeable features of the façade is the clock and its ornamentation. The design has been copied from that of the original. The two winged figures supporting the upper part of the dial are by M. Charles Garnier, architect of the Opera House. The seated figure immediately below, representing the city, is by M. Gautherin, and the two recumbent figures on either side of the clock are by M. Aimé Millet. The building is at present used for municipal purposes. PALAIS DE LA LEGION D'HONNEUR, Quai d'Orsay. — Under the Commune of 1871, the Palace of the Legion of Honour was burnt down, in company with many other beautiful monuments of Paris. The present building was erected by subscription among the members of the Order, and js an exact reproduction of the old Palace.
PALAIS DU TROCADERO. — The Trocadéro Palace, erected for the Exhibition of 1878, is the work of the two clever architects Davioud and Bourdais. The building is constructed on an eminence, and is a mixture of all styles of architecture. It is composed ol a central edifice, built in the form of a rotunda with colonnade, surmounted by a statue of Fame, by Mercié, and two semicircular galleries joined to the principal building by two pavillions with towers. The central part contains the grand a Salle des Fetes JJ, used at present ap a concert hail. It contains a colossal organ, and is decorated with splendid paintings by Lemeire The stage ae:,'ommo,fa.ies 400 musicians, and the auditorium 5,000 persons. Open Tuesdays, Thurdays and Saturdays from 12 till 5, excepting on concert rehearsal days.
Admission by ticket furnished by the secretariat du Ministère des Beaux Arts or by the Administrator of the Palace. A lift conveys visitors to the summit of one of the towers, from whence a good view may be had.
The two gal'eries or wings of the Palace, contain the Mnsee dc Sculpture comparée, and the Musée Ethnographique. The garden on the south of the Palace contains many rare shrubs and plants, and, being well protected against cold winds, is a charming place of resort.
In the Trocadéro Gardens, on a site just below the right wing of the Palace, we find the Institut Populaire du Progrès, a newly opened establishment for popular scientific instruction. Lectures are delivered here on physics, astronomy, chemistry, etc., the premises being fitted with all the appliances necessary to these studies.
A large Aquarium has been established under the garden, its entrance being in the main avenue parallel to the Seine. It is a circular grotto of about 500 feet in circumference, adorned with all kinds of ferns.
The elegant new building at the top of the hill to the right, is the Dépôt des Phares, or store- house for all the lighthouses of the State. It contains a museum of all the inventions made in this line, and an immense mural map of all the lighthouses of France.

Note. — Many changes being constantly made in the Luxembourg museum on account of the continual acquisition of new works and the transfer of certain others to the Louvre and to provincial museums, I find it impossible to give you, here, an exact description, and would-recommend you to procure a copy of the current catalogue, which will cost you 45 c (4 1/2 d.) and with it to visit the rooms in their numerical order.
MUSEE DES THERMES ET DE L'HOTEL DE CLUNY. Boulevard SaintMichel; entrance: 24, rue du Sommerard. — This museum contains rich collections of National and foreign antiquities, of the Middle-age and Renaissance periods.
Days and hours of admission, - Every day (excepting Mondays and reserved holidays) from 11 to 5 from 1st April to 30th. September and from 11 to 4 from 1st October to 31st March.
The entrance to the gardens is by the large door of the Cluny museum.
Note. — Cards for study should be asked for from the secretarial department of the museum.
Historical notice. — The Thermes Palace, on a part of the ruins of which has been built the Cluny museum and of which the grand hall still remains intact, with its immense antique arch, is the most ancient monument in Paris. It appears that its erection dates from the reign of Constance Chlore and the chroniclers declare that Julien the Apostate was proclaimed Emperor there, (a. d. 360).
-. The ruins of the palace were acquired in 1340 by the Abbey of Cluny. Later on the buil- dings known as the Hotel de Cluny were erected for the monks ; and these constructions, continued by Jacques d'Amboise, were only completed about the commencement of the sixteenth century.
Becoming National property at the Revolution, it was lost by the state until 1843, when it was again acquired together with the Sommerard collections which were placed there in 1832.
The Hotel de Cluny is the only civil monument in Paris which has retained its primitive aspect owing to the works of restoration, having for their sole object the preservation of the delicacy and originality of the building. Constituted a museum by law of 1843, the Musee des Thermes et l'Hotel de Cluny contained 1,400 objects. This number has now increased to over 12,000 most interesting curiosities.
For the nomenclature of objects exhibited and description of interior, consult catalogue. Space will not permit me to give details here. A few words on the chapel and Palace of Thermes before leaving the building.
Chapel. - This delightful monument of the fifteenth century is extremely elegant and in a perfect state of preservation, The lacework of the belfry, the bands covered with leaves and foliage in high relief, the thousand details of a thin, fine architecture have been discovered, thickly covered with plaster, and the Chapel of the Hotel de Cluny remains as a most complete specimen of the Renaissance period.
Worthy of note, a figure of Christ on the Cross (12 th century) a chorister's desk and lighting apparatus in wrought iron, of the 15th century, and a large Flemish altar-piece of the 15th century.
A light staircase, opening in an angle of the Chapel, descends to the ground floor, from whence access may be had to the garden by a sort of covered passage, of which the central pillar supports the crowned K of Charles VIII (Karolus) and the arms of the Amboise familly.
From here, descend a few steps to the left and you will be in the middle-ages exhibit room, cross this and enter, by the door facing, the Palace des Thermes.
Palais des Thermes. — It is here, under these imposing arches, that all the antique monuments. are placed; the Gaulish altars found at Notre-Dame and the marble statue of the emperor Julien proclaimed here in the year 360.
The gardens of the Palace are decorated with numerous pedestals and statues, the greater part of which come from the ancient residence of the monks. You will remark particularly the iron cross taken from the Church of St.-Vladimir of Sebastapool, the doorway of the ancient Church, of St.-Benoit and the three Roman arcades from the Argenteuil Abbey.
On leaving the Hotel de Cluny mount the few steps of the rue de la Sorbonne and see, to the left, at the angle of the rue des Ecoles, the magnificent building of the Academy of Paris; then descend to the right the rue des Ecoles to the boulevard St.-Michel, the favourite evening resort of the students of the Latin Quarter. Nobody should leave Paris without having spent an evening in this quarter, to get a true idea of the life of the Parisian student. From the fountain at the end of this boulevard, omnibuses and trams may be obtained to any quarter of Paris.

Historical. — The Hotel Carhavalet, built by Pierre Lescot in 1550, was decorated with some admirable sculptures by Jean Goujon, who executed the interior and. exterior decoration of-the prin- cipal entrance. It is also to the school of this celebrated artist that the collosial figures of the four seasons decorating the facade at the bottom of the interior court, are due. The other eight figures are by Van Obstal, a sculptor of the 17th. century. ,
Restored in 1661 by Mansarf, this edifice forms an almost regular quadrilatère", with courtyard in the centre and garden behind, the whole having a superficial area of about 2,500 metres.
Constructed for Jacques de Lignerio, president of the Parliament of Paris, it was bought in 1572 by M. de Kernevenoy (by corruption Carnavalet).
Inhabited by the Marquis de Sévign, who took possession of it in October 1677, the Hotel Carnavalet, was the resort of all the greatest celebrities of the 17th century, which, under the influence of the vivacious and charming mistress of the place, gave the tone to all the Societies and Courts of Europe.
After the revolution of 1789, the offices of the Direction of the Public Library were installed in the Hotel for several years; the school of Bridges and Roads was afterwards established thereby Napolean 1st. In 1829 it was replaced by one of the principal institutions of the Charlemagne College.
M. Verdot, who was chief of this College in 1864, sold the Hotel to the town of Paris in F ebruary of that year. The town then had the building restored, giving it, as much as possible, its 16th century style and character, at the same time preserving the souvenirs of Madame de Sevigne.

CHURCHES The city of Paris boasts of numerous churches, remarkable more especially for their architecture and historical relics; we will mention the principal ones.
The Paris churches are open all day to the public. On Sundays grand mass is celebrated about 10 o'clock (musical). In some churches, notably those of Notre-Dame, Saint-Roch, the Madeleine and Saint-Eustache, on fête days grand mass is celebrated with solos by the principal artistes of Paris. (Chairs 5 and 10 centimes.) NOTRE-DAME, place du Parvis (Cité). — This church is open all day from six o'clock in the morning.
The most interesting object in this cathedral is the treasury, which is visible all day from 10 till 4 in winter and 5 in summer.
Visitors should apply to the Suisse, to the right of the choir, inside the surrounding railings.
A charge of 50 c. is made.
To see the towers (?0c.), the great bell and the Sebastopol bell (another 20 c.) apply outside the Cathedral, to the left of the principal entrance. From the towers a splendid view is to be had, well worth the visit.
Historical. — The cathedral of Notre- Dame de Paris owes its foundation to Childebert. It is a magnificent specimen of gothic art, and, fortunately, escaped the devastations of the commune. It fell into ruin and its restoration was undertaken by Bishop Maurice de Sully, under Louis VII.
about 1163.
This gigantic enterprise lasted about 200 years, was completed during the reign of Charles VII.
(15th century).
Since this time the Cathedral has undergone several changes which have served to somewhat alter its primitive character.
This church is built entirely on piles and is 133 metres in length, and 48 metres broad. The height of the nave is 35 metres and that of the towers 69 metres.
Formerly the principal entrance was up 13 steps, but on account of the continual rising of the ground it is now on a level with the street.
Facade. — The facade is composed of three, superposed stories; the gallery under the grand rosace contains, in its niches. 28 statues of kings of France, benefactors of the cathedral-church, from Childebert down to Philip-Augustus; those which were placed there during the 13th century were destroyed in 1793. Above those of the kings are statues of Adam and Eve and of the Virgin Mary, with saints worshipping.
At the middle floor opens a magnificent rosace, It metres in height and the facade is surmounted by two square towers.
This imposing facade has three grand porches, erected under the arches, the sculptured portal represents the last judgment.
The Towers. — The towers of Notre-Dame rank amongst the first curiosities of Paris.
Mounting the 368 steps which conduct you to the platform, a magnificent panorama spreads itself out before you.
In the "Tour duMidi" is the largest bell in France, (2m60 in diameter) ; only rung on the most solemn occasions, weighing 16 1/4 tons. Its clapper alone weighs nearly half a ton. The bell was baptized in 1672, with Louis XIV. for godfather. The tower contains four other bells for the service of the cathedral. Near the towers is to be seen the vast forest of chesnut timbers supporting the lead covering of the edifice, which weighs upwards of 210 tons.
The Spire. — The ancient Spire of the church was destroyed in 1881 and has been rebuilt : It tapers up, behind the two towers, to a height of 45 metres, and is built of oak, covered with lead.
Interior. — The interior of Notre-Dame presents an imposing appearance, on account of the general harmony and the boldness of the arches, which are supported by 21 thick pillars. There are five naves. On the first floor, extending round the principal nave and choir, is a gallery ornamented by 108 little columns, each of which is formed out of a single stone. On the occasion of grand ceremonies, this gallery serves as a tribune.
The church is lighted by the three principal rosaces and 103 stained glass windows, and contains several tombs, mausoleums and marble plaques erected to the memory of departed celebrities, notably those of: marshal comle d'Harcourt, by Pigalle; and several archbishops of Paris, de Beaumont, de Juigné, de Noailles, de Quelen, Afire, Sibour, Morlot and Darboy.
A magnificent organ is placed above the principal entrance. Twenty-three chapels form a belt surrounding the nave and choir.
In the nave is an elegant pulpit, surmounted by a baldaquin with group. of angels.
i
Organ. — This grand organ is the work of Gavaillé-Coll, and was inaugurated the 7th March 1868.
It is one of the most powerful and complete organs in France, having 86 stops and 6000 pipes.
Hostage memorial plates. — In the central transept are two black marble slabs upon which are engraved, in gold letters, the names of the hostages assassinated at Paris the 24th. 25th, 26th and 27th May 1871,during the communist struggle. There are 75 of them. On the left slab is written Clergy (clergé) and on the right Laity (laïques). The first list commences with the name of Mgr. Darboy and the other with that of the first President Bonjean.
Remark; in the chapelle de Saint Georges, the fourth of the belt, a stone statue representing Saint George and the Dragon.In this chapel are erected two mausoleums of Cardinal Morlot and Archbishop Darboy, assassinated by order of the commune 24th May 1871.
'Ch'oil*.-—The choir is separated from the nave and surrounded by a fine polished and gilded iron railing. It is decorated with some beautiful woodwork in sculptured oak, and a series of remarkable" bas-raliefs, representing Jesus-Christ and the Virgin Mary, separated by piers with arabesques and the Passion instruments. In the surrounding chapels are statues of Mgrs Affre, Sibour. Morlot and.Darboy. ., The choir owes much to the generosity of Louis XIV. Behind the high altar, resplendant with gilding, inaugurated in 1872, are statues of Louis XIII. and Louis XIV., the former placing his crown under the protection of the Virgin. Between these statues, at the end of the choir, is a group, in white marble, by Coustou, representing the Virgin supporting on her knees the dead body of Christ and, around, six bronze angels on columns. t
The Treasury. (Le Tresor). — In the chapter vestry, to the right of the choir, is a collection in solid and elegant cases, of precious objects known as the treasures of Notre-Dame which, happily, escaped the devastations of the commune in 1871. Rich reliquaries, sacred vases and cups, crosses, pvxas, relics, all the objects contained in the Archbishop's private chapel, the anointing mantle of Napoleon, the sumptuous ornaments presented by the Emperors, the kings, Marie-Antoinette, a silver statuette of the Virgin given to the cathedral by Charles X., busts, the portraits of the different Archbishops of Paris, Affre, Sibour, Morlot and Darboy, a collection of cameos representing the popes since St. Peter down to Pius IX, a reliquary forming a cross, gift of Mgr. Guibert, and a pix sent by Leo XIII, on the occasion of his jubilee.
Every Friday during Lent and during Easter week, magnificent reliquiries are to be seen containing the crown of thorns, one of the nails of the cross and a piece of the cross, brought from the Orient by St. Louis.
In the exterior pourtour are famous stone pictures with bas-reliefs representing subjects drawn from the New Testament.

, The front is ornamented with a magnificent sculpture representing the last judgment.

Under the porticoes are 34 niches, each one containing the statue of a Saint, from Saint-Gabriel to the right, to Saint-Michael to the left: In the two niches of the facade are Saint-Philippe and Saint-Louis.
The foundation stone of this monument was laid by Louis XV. the 3rd April 1764, and it was not finished until the time of Louis-Philippe in 1843. It was at first intended for a church, then, after the Revolution of 1789, Napoleon wished to convert it into a temple of Glory. But Louis XVIII. made it definitely into a church, under the name of the Sainte-Madelaine.

(These relics are at the present moment amongst the treasure of the cathedral of Notre-Dame).
Commenced in 1245, the chapel was consecrated the 25th April 1248.
It was closed during the Revolution (1789-1793) and was utilised later on as a Record Office. The Sainte-Chapelle is now, after thirty years work, completely restored.
The colored windows in this Chapel are the most beautiful in existance and have been restored with great ability and success. The eyes are dazzled by the collection of such a combination of rich tones and shades and from the vivacity of the coulours, of which the secret of manufacture has never been discovered. They represent the principal scenes from the Old Testament, and the conveyance of the relics to the Sainte-Chapelle by Saint-Louis.
The elegant rosace of the portal dates from the time of Charles VIII., the subjects are taken from the Apocrypha.

From the terrace in front of the church, a splendid view of Paris and its monuments may be obtained, decidedly as beautiful as that from the Eiffel Tower, besides which the church is more central.
As this church is situated in a rather intricate quarter, we advise our readers to take a hackney carriage when in tending to visit it.

From thence regard the unique panorama which unrolls itself of the south of Paris, between the Mont Valérien, the terrace of St.-Germain, the heights of Palaiseau, Villeneuve, Villiers-sur-Marne, and the cemetery of Pere-Lachaise.
Then enter the church, which is entrely free. Notwithstanding the fact that the central dome is as yet unfinished, one gathers some idea of the grandiose aspect the monument will assume when terminated.
Visit the bélfry, where may be seen the enormons bell inaugurated with great ceremony in 1895 by Cardinal Richard, Archbishop of Paris, and known as the Savoyard".
On leaving the church, obtain a card (25 centimes) to the right of the porch, and visit the crypt, where the chapels, notably that of St. Peter, are very beautiful.

Later on it became State property, and this lovely park is now open to the public, and forms the centre of a magnificent quarter of Paris, from whence start many of the principal arteries, viz boulevards Malesherbes, Courcelles, etc.
Open all day free to the public, either in carriages or on foot, the Monceaux Park is, without doubt, one of the most delightful resorts of New Paris. At night, under the electric light, the effect is simply fairylike. It is open until about 11 o'clock.
It has a beautiful surrounding grating, brilliant with gilding, which serves to link the four monumental entrances, of exceptional magnificence, and contains a collonade to which the appearance of a half ruin has been given, surrounding a semi-circular basin of water, fed by a river, winding amongst the grassy slopes of the garden.
To your right, the Pyramid, and a miniature cascade, escaping from an artificial grotto, falls, its glittering water splashing on to the rocks beneath ; to the left is to be seen the beautiful rotunda, inhabited by the park-keepers, and the restored ru ins of the Naumarchic. About the park are numerous statues, amongst which the Paradise Lost by J. Gautherin is remarkable.
THE BUTTES CHAUMONT. — Perhaps the most extraordinary of the works undertaken in the construction of New Paris is the transformation of the Chaumont heights, situated to the north of Paris, between Belleville and la Villette into a vast park, covering a superficial area of about 54 acres. Open free, day and night.
This park was formerly a large waste ground, cut with ravines and hills, on the summit of the highest of which was raised the famous Montlaucon Gibbet.
■ The park is bordered on the east by the rues de Belleville and de la Villette, and on the south by a new boulevard which now connects the latter street with the rue de Puebla. The whole ground, may be taken in at one glance from the elegant balustrade skirting a portion of the new boulevard, and affording a splendid view of the whole country around. To our right we see in a deep ravine the railway round Paris passing through the park, where it disappears into the tunnel. Before us we perceive the principal feature of the park: a lofty island cut out of the natural rock and surrounded by a fine sheet of water. The height of this solitary rock is upwards of 6ff feet: it ends in a peak.
crowned with a belvidere of tasteful architecture commanding an excellent view of a large portion of the metropolis, and called the Temple of the Sibyl. This island is accessible on one side by a stone bridge, and on another by a suspension-bridge supported by rustic piers. In the valley is a delightful
grotto, the interior .of which sparkles with stalactites and stalagmites. Further on to our left, is a carriage-road spanned by a fine wrought-iron suspension bridge, 63 metres in length giving access to the higher portions of the ground, wich is intersected by gravelled paths, and planted with valuable trees and shrubs. Here, on the 27th of September, 1870, the ninth day of the siege, a petroleum depot caught fire; and much fighting took place between the Versailles troops and the Communists in the latter days of May, 1871.
BOIS DE VINCENNES (Vincennes Wood). — The Bois de Vincennes is, like the bois de Boulogne, remarkable for its cascades, lawns and beautiful pieces of water. ,. It is less aristocratic than the Bois de Boulogne, but is, since its latest improvements, the most picturesque of the walks in the environs of Paris. It covers au area of 2162 acres and is a favourite place of resort and recreation to the inhabitants of the eastern quarters of Paris. It contains the beautiful artificial Lac des Minimes, covering a surface of 20 acres, extending to the pretty village of Nogent-sur-Marne (fine railway viaduct over the river-Marae).
On the Paris side of the wood are the Asile des Invalides Civils, for convalescent workmen, and the new Military Hospital.
PARC DE MONTSOURIS (The Montsouris Pare). — This park is situated boule- vard Jourdan, and is crossed hy the Sceaux Railway. It is not far from the station of the Tramway de Montroug.e — gare de l'Est. - - A very pretty Park, ornamented by a lake and verdunt grassy slopes it forms an interesting visit for the stranger. It contains a monument of Col. Flatters and an Observatory know as the Bardo Observatory, which figured at the Exhibition of 1867. Open free, day and night.
LE RANELEYH — Is situated avenue Ingres, near the Passy Railway station. This magnificent, shally promenade, with statues and lawns, has replaced a pleasure resort founded here in 1774, for the nobility. Near here are the Hothouses of the town of Paris. (Serres de la ville de Paris) For admission apply for tickets at the Hotel de Ville.
GARDENS JARDIN DES PLANTES. — The garden of plants, situated place Walhubert, facing the pont d'Austerlitz (near the gare d'Orléans) is open all day to the public, as a promenade, but the Menagerie and the Museum (the former perhaps the finest in Paris) are only visible certain days and hours.There are four things to be seen at the « Jardin des Plantes P, viz : The Garden, the Museum, the Menagerie and the Hothouses.
To visit the Museum, Menagerie or Hothouses on any other than those days reserved to the public, a demand must be made, in advance, in writing, to the Director of the Museum for a ticket.
Itinerary. — Enter the garden by the place Walhubert, and; leaving the school of drawing, take the path to the right leading to the Carnivorous animals section of the Menagerie.
The Menagerie is open to the public every Thursday from 1 to 4, when the animals are not exhibited outside, and on other days from 1 to 4, by ticket only. The menagerie proper is composed of 22 boxes, with iron-barred fronts, where lions, lionesses, tigers, bears, panthers, etc., etc., prome- nade nonchalantly.The feeding of these wild animals is held every day, at 3. o'clock, and is a curious sight. Enter hy the small door to the left of the Menagerie. The Monkey house is also at this side of the Menagerie.
The Monkey House. — A vast rotunda surrounded by large trellis works, in cages, jumping and gambolling, as no body knows how to do better, are the little monkeys.
Facing the Monkey house is the Grand Rotunda, the home of the elephants, hippopotami, dromedaries, etc., and near the Rotunda to the left, is the bears'pit. asylum of some magnificent specimens of Bruin, who assume plastic poses and stand upright etc at the word of command.

The Faisanderie. — In this house, as in the Pheasant House at the Jardin d'acclimitation, are exhibited a varied collection of pheasants, partridges, pheasants, pintadoes and song birds.
At the side of the Pheasant House, a little to the right, is: La Fauconnerie (The falconry). — In this long enclosure are exhibited, in separate compartments, eagles, condors, vultures, etc., etc.
To the left of the falconry, separated by a pathway, is the splendid new pavillion devoted to reptiles.
Le Pavilion des reptiles. — This Pavillion is well worthy of a visit to see its installation and arrangement. It is open to the public every Thursday, from 1 to 4; and other days at the same hours, by ticket.
Thanks to the numerous mirrors, the inhabitants of this room may be sren, as they are almost always hidden away, eazily coiled under blankets.
In the interior, under the centre of the magnificent rotunda, is an immense basin, surrounded by rocks and aquatic plants for the caymans, crocodiles, tortoises, etc., to take their consti'u- tionals in.
Turn your back to the reptile building, direct your steps to the right, and you will soon arrive at the galeries d'anatomie comparée.

Amateurs of phrenology will find a complete collection of plaster-moulded heads, notably those of the famous criminals Lacenaire, Papavoine, etc.
In the court surrounding the Galerie d'anatomie comparée, to the left, is the salle dePaléontologie, a very curious antedeluvian museum, visible every Tuesday from 1 to 4, with ticket.
Leaving the Galerie d'anatomie, bear to the right, and, after passing the phoques, direct your steps straight to the Grand Labyrinth, planted with evergreens and crowned with a charming kiosk, from whence a splendid panorama unfolds itself.
The famous ceder of Liban, which was brought there by M. de Jussieu, in his hat, and a granite column erected to the memory of the celebrated nalurilist Daubenlon, indicate the road to the Labyrinth.
Facing the grand labyrinth, to the right, are the Hothouses (Serres), open every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, from 1 to 4 ; entrance by ticket. They contain exotic trees and tropical plants, a very rich and tare collection.

Having visited these three museums, return once again to the grand avenue, and leave the garden by the door leading to the Place Walhubert.
JARDIN DES TUILERIES.— The Tuileries Garden, designed by Le Notre, to ord erofLouis XlV. is 2256 feet in length, and 990 feet in width.To the north of the Garden was the ancient couvent des Feuillants, and the terrace now existing on its site is known as the Terrace des Feuillants.
INTERIOR OF THE MADELEINE
Open to visitors from one o'clock (after morning service). Entrance by the side doors when the principal doors are closed. The high altar consists of a fine group by Marochetti, representing Mary Magdalene being borne into Paradise by two Angels. (For full description see page 68).
Near this spot was the manege (riding school) in which were held the sittings of the National Assembly. The Tuileries Garden is bisected throughout its entire lengthby a broadavenue extending from the site of the ancient palace to the Place de la Concorde. At each end is a large circular basin.
These Gardens are open to the public throughout the year. They comprise two large enclosures laid out in flower-beds, with two groves of chesnut, elm, plane and lime trees, skirting the principal avenue down to the Porte du Pont Tournant. Flights of steps and inclined paths lead up to the terrace overlooking the Place de la Concord. There are many fine statues scattered about the Tuileries Gardens.
The panorama of the 19th century, by MM. Alfred Stevens and Henri Gervex, stands at the foot of the terrace near the orangery. Part of the Gardens skirling the road leading from the Pont Royal to the rue des Pyramides, occupies the site of the ancient Tuileries Palace which was burnt by the communists on the 23rd May 1871, and remained a mass of ruins until 1883, when theremains of the old palace were pulled down and the Gardens opened.
JARDIN DU PALAIS-ROYAL. — The Palais-Royal Garden, surrounded by arcades and splendid shops, occupies more than 4,000 metres. About 3 o'clock in the winter, r towards 5 o'clockin the summer, when the concerts held here are taking place, it presents a very animated appearance. A cannon is fired here every day at twelve o'clock, correct French time.
JARDIN DU LUXEMBOURG. — The Luxembourg Garden occupying three sides of the palace of that name, is the work of Jacques de Brosse. The plan, composed of an octogonal basin with grass plois, is skirted by flower-beds, and flanked right and left with elevated balustrated terraces shaded with tine chesnut groves. Spacious flights of steps descend from the terraces into the central part, which is decorated with numerous marble statues representing the celebrated women of France. On the eastern side of the garden, its chief ornament is a fountain built by Catherine de Medicis, after the designs of Desbrosses; its niche is a lorned with a group representing Polyphemus discovering Acis and Galatcea. Behind it, facing the street, there is a bas-relief by Valois, representing, Jupiter and Leda. In the adjoining grass-plot stands a beautiful marble group, by Garrand, of Cain and his family after the death of Abel, Further north is a large orangery, in which gratuitous lectures on pruning and grafting are given in summer. There is also a collection of about 500 different kinds of vine, brought from foreign countries; likewise a model apiary, lectures being given here at stated seasons on the rearing of bees. The garden is 919 metres long by 570 in breadth ; its area is 340,064 square metres. A recent addition to the statuary of the garden consists of the monument erected to Eugene Delacroix, whose bust, in bronze, stands on a marble pedestal. The composition is of spirited design, the fountain from which the monument springs being in white marble, of classic taste. The inscription upon the pedestal runs as follows: A Eugene Delacroix, 1798-1863, ses Admirateurs
WALKS THE GHAMPS-ELYSEES. — Besides her Boulevards, Paris possesses numerous promenades, all of which have their special character and attractions.
The Champs Elysees is really the national continuation of the Boulevards, as you have simply to cross the rue Royale and the Place de la Concorde and you are in this magnificient avenue.
Perhaps it would be well before proceeding up the Champs Elysées, if we take a look at the Place de la Concorde. This square is said to be the finest in the world. It was formerly known under the name of Plade de Louis XV and was, until that king ascended the throne of France, an irregular piece of waste ground, In the centre of the square is the Obelisk of Luxor, a magnificent relic of ancient Egypt, one of the two obelisks that stood in front of the great temple of Thebes erected there 1550 years before Christ by Rameses III, of the 18th Egyptian dynasty. The two obelisks were presented to the French Government by Mehemet Ali, Viceroy of Egypt, in consideration of the services rendered by France to Egypt during the construction of the arsenal and naval establishment at Alexandria, but only one of them was removed.
The obelisk weighs 500,000 lbs., is 72ft in height, 7ft 6 in. in width at the base and 5ft 4 at the top. The apex is still in the rough state in which it was when discovered in Egypt. It stands on a single block of grey granite, from the quarries of Laber, in Brittany.
On each side of this monument is a fountain, the one dedicated to Fluvial and the other to Maritime navigation.
They consist each of a circular basin of polished stone, 50 feet in diameter, out of which me two other smaller basins. Six cast-iron figures nine feet in height are resting on the prows of vessels, and six dolphins, held by as many Tritons and Nereids, spout water into the basin above. These fountains now repaired, suffered considerably from the cannonade exchanged between the Communists,
who heM the Tuileries Garden, and the Versaillais, who, on the 22d of May, 1871, already occupied ihewhotepartofthecitywestofit.
The Place de la Concorde joins the Tuileries gardens and the Champs-Elysées. On the North is te be seen the Madelaine and on the south the Chambre des Deputes, and beyond this the Dome of the Palais des Invalides.
The Place de la Concorde has been rendered famous by many events, which I will give in their chronological order: MAY 30, 1770. - During the rejoicing in honour of the marriage of Louis XVI., a fatal accident was caused, after a discharge of fireworks, by a pauic in consequence of carriages driving among the crowd, and rushing towards the rue Royale, where the ground had been broken up for building; 1.200 persons were trampled to dealh, and about 2,000 others seriously injured.
JULY 12, 1789. —^ A collision between Prince de Lambesc's regiment and the people became the signal for the destruction of the BnstiHe.
JAN. 21. 1793. — Louis XVI, suffered death on this Place, (1) where the following persons also subsequently perished by the guillotine July 17. Charlotte Corday; Oct. 2, Brissot and 29 of his colleagues. Oct. 16, Mane Antoinette, consort of Louis XVI.; Nov. 14. Louis Philippe Joseph Egalite, Duke of Orleans; March 24, 1794, the Hebertists, Maratists, and Orleanisls; April 8, the Dantonists, including Danton, Camille Desmoulins, elc. April 16, the Atheists, composed of Chaumette, Anacharsis Clootz, the wives of Camille Desmoulins, of Hebert, etc.; May 12, Elisabeth Marie Helene of France, sister of Louis XVI.; July 28. Robespierre and his brother, Dumas, St. Just, and Couthon, Members of the Committee of Public Safely, with several others; July 29, seventy members of the Commune de Paris; July 30, twelve other members. From Jan. 21. 1793, to May 3, 1795, more than 2800 persons were executed here.
- APRIL 10. 1814. — The Russians, Prussians, and Austrians were reviewed and Te Deum was sung at an altar on this Place.
FEB. 23. 1848. - The first disturbances that ushered in the memorable revolution of that year took place here.
FED. 24. 1848. - Flight of Louis Philippe and his family by the western entrance of the Tuileries Garden.
Nov. 4. 1848. — The Constitution of the Republic was solemnly proclaimed here, in the presence of the Constituent Assembly.
SEPT. 4.'1870. — The downfall of Napoleon III. and the Third Republic proclaimed, after the disaster of Sedan.
MAY 22, 1871. - A desperate conflict between the Versailles troops and the Communists, the latter in their retreat setting fire to public and private buildings.
Now to proceed with the Champs-Elysées. This is different from the boulevards in that the Boulevards are borderded by houses and the Champs-Flysées, from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, is bordered by Palaces. This superb avenue, of which the engraving, page 79, will convey some idea of its beauty, its a scene of the greatest animation, in all seasons of the year, swarming with pedestrians and equipages of all kinds. From about two to five o'clock every day it is a dazzling and ever-changing scene of continuous movement, caused by the passing of Parisian Society to and from the Bois de Boulogne (corresponding with Hyde Park, in London).
- In the evening, quite a different aspect and a different pnblic. Still the same rush of vehicles, cavaliers, lady equestrians, rich men and beautiful women thronging the Avenue, taking the fresh air after dinnier; but the evening the pedestrians are in the majority. Then, during the summer, the café-concerts on either side open their doors to the public, presenting a most brilliant spectacle.
Leaving .the Place de la Concorde, pass between the two « chevaux de Marly » (Marly horses) two remarkable groups by Couslou, and follow the grand avenue, dominated by the Arc de Triomphe.
To the left are the cafe-concert de l'Horloge, the Restaurant Ledoyen, and the Palais de l'lndustrie, with its majestic front; farther on the Palais de Glace (real ice skating rink) the Jardin de Paris, and the Panorama of the Champs Elysées.
On the right the two cafe-concerts, the Ambassadeurs and the Alcazar, some pretty fountains, and, further on, the Folies-Marigny Theatre (a pretty little house, beautifully.decorated, principally light ctimedy) and finally the cirque des Champs Elysees (Champs-Elysees circus).
On this side of the Avenue are to be found numerous representations of those greut treats for. the children of all countries, Punch and Judy shows and goat carts, etc., etc.
After passing these you come upon the rond-poillt, about the centre of the avenue, round which are arranged four splendid fountains, surrounded by large plots of flowers.
After leaving the Rond-Point, following the Champs-Elysées, straight on, you arrive at the Are
Or The scaffold for the execution of Louis XVI, was erected midway between the centre of the place and the horses of Marly; that for Marie Antoinette between the centre and the gate of the Tuileries.

de Triomphe, situated at the Place de l'Etoile, or Place of the star, the rays of which are formed by twelve fine boulevards, which commence at this spot.
Note. — Whilst here, visit the interior and summit of the Arch, from whence a superb panorama may be seen of Paris (Small gratuity to attendant).
THE BOIS DE BOULOGNE. — The fame of the celebrated Bois de Boulogne is worldwide. But this favoured spot is no longer, as formerly, the favourite resort of poets and of lovers on their honeymoons. Still however it retains its ancient reputation, it is a lovely wood, and is now, as much as ever, the favourite walk of strangers and holiday-makers.
Where can such a crowd be found, such a class of people, such toilettes ? Everyone would answer : Go lo the Bois, between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, or on a raceday, when the Avenue du Bois de Boulogne, preceding and leading to the Bois, is crowded with equipages, equestrians and foot passengers.
To go to the Bois de Boulogne, take, for preference, a hackney carriage. One can be obtained from your hotel or from a livery stable at from 3 francs per hour, or taken in the street, 2 place carriages 2.50 the hour, 4 seats, 2.75 the hour. If you discharge your carriage outside the fortifications of Paris, an indemnity of 1 franc must be given to a cabman taken iu the street or 2 francs if from a livery stable. If, however, you keep the carriage and return home in same the price remains at so much per hour.
Another way to get to the Bois de Boulogne is by Rail, from the gare St.-Lazare. Trains leave every 15 minutes. Book for Avenue du Bois de Boulogne.
If you are several persons together, the most economical way to visit the Bois is in a carriage and it is always the most agreeable.
The Bois de Boulogne, outside the Paris fortifications and comprising a surface of 873 hectares, bears the name of a neighbouring suburb. Before 1789 its trees were decaying with age. The Revolution in part cleared it ; whatever was then spared was felled in 1814, to make palissades against the approach of the allied armies. In July, 1815, after the capitulation, the English under Wellington encamped here. It had grown again into a thick and beautiful wood, when the disastrous siege of 1870 once more rendered its parlial devastation necessary. T he Bois, now the property of the City of Paris, was noted for the annual promenade de Longchamps, and is now the most fashionable place of resort for a drive or a walk, where the finest horses of the capital are displayed.
The annexed map will be found very useful in directing the visitor to the most interesting spots.
The best way of visiting this delightful resort is to enter it by the Avenue du Bois de Boulogne, commencing from the Rond Point of the Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile. Continuing along the road exactly opposite to this Avenue, a few slight turns to the left will bring the visitor at once to the borders of the lakes, the great attraction of the wood. The first of these lakes, which are fed by the Artesian well of Passy, is 3.600 feet in length and 750 broad, and encompasses two islands, connected by a rustic wooden bridge, and occupying together an extent of 2,400 feet. Here, art and taste have combined to charm the eye with the most picturesque scenery. At the southern extremity, opposite the islands, two charming cascades, one of which is now popularly called La Source, pour their waters, bounding from rock to rock, or gushing from crevices skilfully arranged, into the lake beneath winding paths, emerging from the cool fir-groves scattered around, intersect the rich turf which clothes the banks down to the water's edge.
The second lake is separated from the former by a neck of land, called Carrefour des Cascades.
This second lake is much smaller, and less attractive than the other; boating may be indulged in on the first.
JARDIN D'ACCLIMATATION. — The Zoological Gardens of the Bois-de-Boulogne are open to the public all day. Entrance fee: week-days, 1 franc; sundays and holidays, 50 cent.; for a carriage and servants, 3 francs.
This prosperous model establishment was founded by a Limited Co, and is, without doubt, the success of the day, being one of the most charming promenades of Paris.
During the summer, concerts are held here at 3 o'clock every Thursday and Sunday. No extra charge is made.
Itinerary. - Enter the garden by the porte des Sablons" and take your coupon to the right on entering.
A wide and magnificent avenue opens before you at the entrance, to your right are the Offices, to the left, the winter garden.
Walk straight on, then direct your steps to the right, to the Salle d'Exposition Florale and the Museum of hunting aud fishing, a collection of traps and objects used in the capture of animals. The Hothouse and Museum communicate with the galleries of the permanent exhibition, where are the produce of several great Parisian industries.
From the Exposition, visit the Monkey House, where are all kinds of monkeys, and leaving this
take the roid to the grand aviary (grande voliere) before which you will notice, from the distance, a statue of Uaubeoton, in white marble; on the way, to the left, cranes, peacocks, etc.
The grand aviary is a marvel of light construction, and contains 21 compariments of the rarest birds, sultana-hens, flamingos, pheasants, blackbirds, etc.
Pigeonnier militaire (military pigeon cot). — This pigeon cot is facing the grand aviary, containing very rare specimens of pigeons and those which are the objects of special studies.
At the end of the grand aviary descend by a small path, near a tree which bars the passage; after the pheasants you come to the semicircular fowlhouses, forming 28 divisions. Interesting exhibition of fowls, pheasants and pigeons.
After the fowlhouses cross the stream and at y our right are the kangaroos, in front, the slables.
In front of the stables you take the tickets for the elephant, dromedary and pony rides and for the ostrich races, etc.
Facing the stables is the large circular lawn where the exhibition of savage peoples are held.

On the Restoration in 1814, the Petit Château was restored to the house of Condé, and many improvements were made by the last of that name, who frequently resided there. His melancholy death laking place in 1830, Chantilly descended to the Due d'Aumale, 4th son of Louis Philippe, who commenced rebuilding the chateau de Chantilly, on the foundations of the ancient residence, in 1876. The building is one of the finest examples of the French Renaissance style, and is after the plans of M. Daumet, the celebrated architect. The spacious galleries contain the Duké's unique collection of paintings, statues, rare books, and other works of art.

In 1260 the palace of Compiègne was founded by Saint-Louis. Compiègne is mentioned as far back as the time of Gregory of Tours. The famous prelate mentions the city as having been a royal residence, much frequented by the Merovingien and Carlovingian monarchs who came here to hunt in the vast forests. Louis XVI first met Marie Antoinette in this palace, and Napoleon I held the first interview with Marie-Louise here. The wedding of King Leopold I of Belgium with Princess Louisa of Orléans, eldest daughter of Louis Philippe was celebrated in the palace chapel.
In Compiègne, the chapel of St.-Nicholas merits a visit on account of its magnificent altar piece in carved oak, and the fine wood-work of the choir.
The Hotel de Ville is one of the most beautiful Gothic monuments in France. This graceful edifice is surmounted by a belfry 160 feet in height, and was constructed in the reign of Charles VI, at the commencement of the 16th century.

The Palace. — It is situated on the Place du Château, a spacious square, surrounded with alleys of lime-trees. The Grand Vestibule leads by the Escalier d'Honneur, a fine double-branched staircase, flanked with marble statues of L'Hopital and d'Aguesseau, to the Salle des Gardes, a long Doric hall, adorned with splendid panoplies. The Salon des Huissiers, to the left, contains a hunting scene under Louis XV., painted by Oudry. The adjoining Salle à Manger, an Ionic hall, opening into the garden, and painted in grisaille by Sauvage, opens to the right into a suite of apartments formerly inhabited by Madame Adélaide, sister to Louis Philippe. The suite consists of a Salon d'Attente, painted in grisaille, and adorned with a splendid rural scene, executed in Gobelins tapestry, a Salon de Réception, with three mythological subjects in Gobelins tapestry, and, lastly, a Chambre à Coucher, with beautiful arabesques painted in the panels. The Salon des Aides-de-Camp contains large maps, painted on canvas, of the forests of Compiègne, Fontainebleau, St. Germain, and Marly. Next follows the Salon du Conseil, a splendid room, with a Gobelins carpet and Beauvais furniture. The walls are adorned with three fine pieces of Gobelins tapestry, representing sacrifices to Pallas, Flora, and Ceres, from originals painted in 1787, by Suvée. We next enter the Salon de Musique. with four pieces executed in Gobelins tapestry, representing Chinese and other oriental subjects. Next follows a bed-chamber, the ceilings and panels of which, painted by Girodet, represent the Evening Star and the Seasons. Thi bed-chamber leads to a second Salon de Reception; the ceiling and panels over the doors are painted by Girodet.
The next room is the Salon des Fleurs. The coves of the ceiling, by Girodet, represent Departure, War, Victory, and the Return. Descending a staircase we find the Salle du Spectacle, with three tiers of galleries, and capable of containing 800 persons. The Galery de don Quichotte, with 31 paintings by Coypel, father and son, represents the most striking scenes of Cervantes' masterpiece.
From this we enter the Grande Gallery des Batailles, which is a gorgeous saloon, built by Napoleon I., the arched ceiling, supported by 20 Corinthian columns, illustrating in 12 allegorical compartments, by Girodet, the victories of Wagram, Austerlitz, etc. The Galerie Neuve, built in 1858, is adorned with a series of eight paintings by Natoire, completing the series of scenes from Don Quixote above described. The chapel is Doric and Ionic; the window represents, in stained glass, the Creator, Faith, and Hope. This palace is visible every day, from 12 to 4.
A spacious terrace behind the palace, adorned with statues, slopes down into the Garden, laid out in the English style. The Forest is seen from the terrace, and is reached by an arbour of iron frame-work, 4800 feet long and 14 feet in breadth. To the left, the terrace ends in a fine avenue of lime trees, planted on part of the old ramparts of Compiègne. The forest of Compiègne contains 36,590 acres, 338 roads, forming a length of 220 leagues. All the finger-posts pointing to the town are painted red.

After leaving the palace, visit the beautiful parc, and, if time permits, make an excursion into the forest.
FONTAINEBLEAU. — The palace and town of Fontainebleau are distant from Paris about 2 hours by rail on the Lyons Railway. In the centre of the place Centrale, to the left of the Grande Vue, stands a bronze statue of General Damesme, who fell in the insurrection of 1848. The chief attractions of Fontainebleau, however, are its palace, unrivalled for magnificence, and its picturesque forest. The palace is open to the public every day from 11 to 4; and the garden and park are open all day.
Fontainebleau may be seen in one day, but in our opinion, not less than three days should be devoted to properly visiting the palace, park and forest.
Visit first of all the Hotel de Ville. From the square may be seen the gate of the palace. This gate leads to the Garden of Diana.
The chateau de Fontainebeau, that is to say the present building, to which the principal entrance is by the Cour du Cheval Blanc a little farther on, was erected by Francis I., and was the favourite residence of that monarch. It was enlarged, embellished or restored by all his successors down to and including Napoleon III., It appears, however, that Fontainebleau was a Royal residence as far back as the days of the first of the Capets. Robert the Devout built a castle there in the 11th century, which was finished by Louis VII., of which little remains excepting the buildings surrounding the Oral Court.
The palace covers a superficial area of 60,000 square metres.
Although rich with artistic marbles, this chateau is still richer in historic memories. We give, in their chronological order the principal : In 1539 the reception of Charles-Quint by Francis I. In 1601 the birth of Louis XIII. 1692 arrest of Marshal de Biron by order of Henry IV., charged with high treason, and he was afterwards removed to the Bastille, where he was beheaded. The 10th of November 1657 Monaldeschi, the secretary and favourite of Queen Christine the Suede, was assassinated here by her orders, 1685 Revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV. A year after the great Prince of Condé died in the Palace. Jn 1765 the only son of Louis XV. died here. In 1804 the chateau was restored by order of Napoleon, and in 1809 he was divorced from Josephine. In 1812 Pius VII was imprisoned here. In 1814 Napoleon signed his abdication, and made his formal farewell to his Imperial Guard. Louis Philippe in 1831 restored it on a magnificent scale, everything being restored in its original style, and it was here, in the forest, that his assassination was attempted by Lecomte. The Palace is now used as a summer residence of the President of the Republic, and during the three months of his stays the palace regains the gay and attractive appearance of the old days.
The apartments and Chinese museum are open to the public every day from 11 to 4 from the 1st of October to the 31st of March, and from 10 till 5 from the 1st of April to the 30th September.
Entrance is obtained by the door which faces the Place aux Charbons.
We enter first Diana's Garden, so-called from a fountain ornamented with stags'heads, and surmounted by a statue of Diana, all in bronze, erected by Napoleon, in the middle of a beautiful white marble basin. This garden was called the box tree garden under Francis I., and later on, under Henry IV. the Aviary Garden, on account of the aviary be had installed there, and, in the time of Louis XIII., the Orangery Garden, on account of an Orangery which replaced the aviary.
Leaving the fountain, advance to the right towards the palace, take the avenue leading in the direction of the exist, and enter the Cour du Cheval Blanc, now known as the Cour des Adieux, which almost faces the grand monumental staircase called on account of its shape horseshoe. The Cour du Cheval Blanc. derives its name from an equestrian statue in plaster, a model of the statue of Marcus Aurelius at Rome, which was placed under a dome in the centre of this court by order of Marie de Médicis. It was here that Napoleon bade farewell to his National Guard at the foot of the grand staircase. On this account it is now known as the Cour des Adieux. The frontage of the chateau is composed of five pavillions, bearing the names of, 1, the Pavillion des Aumôniers, or de MoWoge; 2, the Pavillion des Ordres; 3, the middle pavillion, called des Peintures, adorned with a bust of Francis I; 4, the Gros Pavillion; 5, the Pavillion des Armes et des Poêles, from German stoves erected there in the time of Francis I. In the centre is the Escalier du fer a cheval. Here, eleven months after his farewell, Napoleon reviewed the troops he was about to lead to Paris. The other two sides of the court are formed by an old wing of the time of Francis I., and a new one, of a different design, erected by Louis XV. on the site of the splendid Galerie d'Ulysse, thus destroying some of the best frescoes of Primaticcio.
Interior. — The order in which the visitor is led through the different apartments is usually 1, to the upper gallery of the Chapelle de la Trinité; 2, the staircase descending into it; 3, the Galerie des Fresques, or des Assiettes; 4, the rooms formerly occupied by the Duchess of Orleans; 5, to the Horseshoe staircase, and 6, to the Galerie de François I. The Chapelle de la Trinité was constructed by Francis I., on the site of one erected by St. Louis; a fragment of the latter, a Doric arch at the bottom of the nave, still remains. The arched ceiling is painted by Fréminet. The altar, of the time of Louis XIII., is by Bordoni; the altar-piece, the Descent from the Cross, was painted by Jean Dubois; the four bronze angels, and the statues of Charlemagne and St. Louis, are by Germain Pilon. The marriages of Louis XV. and of the late Duke of Orleans, as also the baptism of
Napoleon III., were celebrated here. The Galeric des Fresques; is remarkable for its panels, with paintings of Fame, Victory, Juno, Ceres, Flora, etc., by Ambroise Dubois. The wainscoting below is decorated with 128 beautiful plates of Sèvres porcelain, representing the principal residences of the French monarch. Returning to the vestibule, we enter the Galerie de Francois I., a magnificent hall, 60 metres in length, with a ceiling divided into compartments beautifully gilt, and a maze of scrollwork, caryatides, and arabesques in alto-relief on the waits, encompassing frescoes by Rosso and Primaticcio. On the panels of the wainscoting are various devices, the letter F, and the Salamander, the emblem chosen by Francis I.
The apartments des Reines Mères derive their name from having formerly been the residence of the Dowager Queens. In 1812 they were inhabited by Pope Puis VII., and afterwards by the Duchesse d'Orléans. The two first contain curiosities brought from Siam in 1861 by an embassy from that country, and they are all remarkable for their splendid specimens of Gobelins tapestry. In the first, a press contains several well wrought bowls and other metal utensils, girdles and weaponsset with jewels. Close to this press is a palanquin with spangled curtains, and a beautiful throne to be carried like a palanquind accompanying this throne is a rich, portable canopy, which like the throne is studded with precious stones. In the second room, which was the Pope's salon de reception, there are some weapons of beautiful workmanship, and a saddle and bridle, also studded with jewels, and some very curious, richly embroidered banners. After this, comes the chambre a coucher d'Anne d'Autriche. This room was used as an oratory by Pope Pius VII. during the eighteen months he was an unwilling inmate of the palace. It was here that Napoleon tried to compel him to sign the concordat, by which he would have renounced his temporal power. The ceiling of this room is gorgeously carved and gilt. The next room was used by Puis VII, as a study, and now contains his portrait, although arranged as cabinet de toilette; then comes another toilet room, the next chamber to which was his bedroom. In the adjoining room is a beautifully carved press by Jean Goujon. The next is an ante-chambre, and contains portraits of Charles VI., Louis IX., Henry IV., and Louis XIV. by Horonois, besides paintings by Poussin, Mignard, Breughel, etc.
Returning to the vestibule, a private staircase leads to the private apartment of Napoleon I., which was also that of Louis Philippe. and Napoleon III. These rooms are rich in Gobelin tapestry.
In the ante-chambre is a fine portrait of MmtJ de Montespan. The paintings over the doors are by Boucher. The cabinet du secretaire, and the salle des bains leads to the cabinet particulier in which Napoleon 1. signed his abdication. The very table on which he signed still remains in this room, In the cabinet de travail is the Emperor's writing desh. The ceiling, representing law and force is by Regnault. The bedroom contains the very furniture used by the Emperor. The paintings are by Sauvage. Next comes the salle du conseil, the splendid ceiling and the panels of the walls of which were painted by Boucher. The salle du Trone comes after. It contains a portrait of Louis XIII. by Philippe de Champagne, and is richly decorated. Opposite this portrait is the throne. This room was begun by Charles IX. Adjoining this a Boudoir, successively occupied by Marie Antoinette and the Empress Eugenie. The window-fastenings, beautifully adorned with wrealhs of wrought iron, were made by Louis XVI., who is known to have been au adept in the mechanical arts. In the centre of the flooring is the cypher of the unfortunate Marie Antoinette. Next comes the late Empress's Bedchamber; the curtains and furniture were a present of the City of Lyons to Queen Marie Antoinette; it was successively occupied by Marie Louise, and Marie Amelie, late Queen of the French. The following room was the Salon de Reception de l'Impératrice, with a fine table of Sèvres porcelain, with the four Seasons, painted by Georget. The panels are by Sauvage, and the ceiling by Barthelemy and Vincent. From the Salon des Dames d'Honneur, seven steps lead up to the Galerie de Diane, nearly 100 metres in length, of Doric architecture; it was partially repaired by Napoleon, and completed by Louis XVIII. The ceiling is painted by Blondel and Abel de Pujol with scenes from the mythology of Diana and Apollo. A recess at the further end. called the Salon de Diane, contains a beautiful vase of Sèvres porcelain, with bas reliefs, illustrative of the Arts and Sciences. This room has now become the Library of the Palace. Near one of the windows of the gallery we see the coat of mail worn by the unfortunate Monaldeschi when killed by order of Queen Christina of Sweden, on the 10th of November, 1657. In the centre of the gallery is a picture of Henry IV. on horseback.
On leaving this gallery, the visitor passes to the landing place of the Escalier de l'Impératrice, with paintings relating to the chase ; the larger one, representing Louis XV. and his suite hunting, is by Parrocel, the other by Oudry and Desportes. This staircase leads to the Appartements Partiticutiers, consisting of seven rooms on the ground-floor, wich were inhabited by the Prince Imperial and his attendants. The furniture is simple, but elegant. Returning to the landing-place, we now euter the Appartements de Reception, the first of which is the Antichambre de la Reine, ornamented with tapestries, the subjects taken from Don Quixote ; next is the Salon des Tapisserics, remarkable for its ceiling and hangings of old Flanders tapestry. The Salon de Frangois I. succeeds, with its fine old chimney-piece, and its new Gobelins tapestry, representing events in French history, after designs by Rouget. Over the chimney-piece is a medallion, representing Mars and Venus, painted by Primaticcio. Here also we see a small mirror, presented to Louis XIII, by the Republic of
Venice. The Salon Louis XIII, looks upon the Cour Ovale, This apariment contains the portrait of Louis XIII., who was born in it ; it is also adorned with paintings by Ambroise Dubois on the ceiling and panels, wtih subjects borrowed from the Greek romance of Theagenes and Monastery founded by Philip Augustus. Here was the famous Dripping Rock. which, however, no longer drips.
Pilgrimages were made to this rock on account of the reputation it had of yielding water of sovereign virtue in the cure of certain maladies, but its superstitious associations have vanished long ago.
The monastery was suppressed by Louis XIV. and it is now known on account of a fair which is held there every Whit-Tuesday.
In June and September, races are held at Fontainebleau in a vast amphitheatre surrounded by the Rocher St. Germain and the thickly-wooded heights of Casepôt, Chauvet and La Solle.

A fortress was erected here in the 11th century by Burchard le Barbu. Nothing, however, now remains of the old castle. The neighbourhood is extremely picturesque, and from the site of the chateau perched like an eyrie on the brow of the hill a fine panorama unfolds itself of Paris, the forest and of the Hermitage, where Jean Jacques Rousseau compiled some of the works which have since rendered his name famous.
Visitors should not leave Montmorency without seeing the Place du Marche, the church, the Hotel de Ville. and the celebrated White Horse Hotel, where in 1792, as the story goes, tha Baron de Gerard and the artist Isabey, both of them at that time richer in prospects than purse, each settled his hotel bill by painting a side of the sign-board, which remains to this day.

Napoleon I. bought the ruins of this redoublable fortress, so long the asylum of brigandage and rebellion, for a small sum, but it was not until the time of Napoleon III. that this marvel of military architecture of the Middle Ages was restored to its primitive state.
Nothing could be more imposing than the exterior aspect of this magnificent feudal fortress, Rising on a barren rock flanked by its eight towers, and seeming to revive the memories of a past age.
Entering the castle by the Cour d' Honneur you find yourself in the courtyard, decorated with statues, and containing the large hexagonal tower, the principal staircase, and the chapel.
After visiting the chapel, making the tour of the buildings, you see a large exterior staircase leading to the ground floor of the castle, facing which and ornamented with four grotesque statues of animals, is an equestrian statue of the founder of the fortress : Louis, Comte Valois, who was assassinated by the emissaries of the Due de Bourgogne in 1407.

SAINT-CLOUD. — A small town of about 5,000 inhabitants, picturesquely situated on the left bank of the Seine. On account of its proximity to Paris, Saint-Cloud has always been a great sufferer during the various wars. As early as 1346 the town was completely destroyed by fire by the British army, and again in 1411 by the Armagnacs. Later on Henry III. established his camp there to lay siege to the capital when he was assassinated by Clement.
On the 12111 October 1870 the town was burnt by the Germans.
Rising again, however, like the Sphinx, from its cinders, the town is now. as in the past, the resort of Parisians and foreigners, who spend the summer season in this beautiful locality, one of the prettiest in the environs of Paris.
Visit the ancient college, facing the church, where the mortal remains of St. Cloud reposed for twelve hundred years.

The town of St. Denis about 4 1/2 miles from Paris, is a manufacturing centre containing about 51,000 inhabitants.
Its chief attraction is th({ eglise canoniale; a monument not only interesting for its architecture, but also remarkable as containing the tombs of the kings and queens of France, which make it quite a historical museum.
Leaving the station, an omnibus will conduct you for 10 c. to the cathedral ; the distance, however is so short that it is better to walk, in order to obtain a glimpse of the town.
Taking the rue du Port, and crossing the canal, the rue du Chemin de fer conducts us to the new parish church, completed in 1867, built in the XIII. century style, and very elegant. Opposite this church is the rue de la Republique, foltowing which we come to the Place d'Armes, in the centre of the town, where we find the antique basilisk of St. Denis.
Eglise Canoniale. — This church, which is open to the] public every day, is a splendid specimen of the pure French style of Gothic architecture.
Commenced by Suger, the celebrated Abbé of St. Denis, in 1137, on the site of the ancient church erected by Charlemagne, it was not finished till near the close of the XIII. century by Phi.
lippe the Hardy. Altered more or less during successive centuries, it was restored to its original state by order of Louis Philippe in 1845.
Built in the form of a latin cross, the exterior of the church has a grand effect.
The porch comprises three doors, which still retain vestiges of the original sculptures executed during the time of Suger. The figures in the centre represent scenes of the last judgment, and those to the right the Martyrdom of St. Denis. The bas-reliefs on the left door are modern.
The nave dates from the time of St. Louis and is 65 metres in length by 12 metres in breadth.
The choir was consecrated as far back as 1144.
The tombs of the kings and queens of France, restored as before 1793 (in which year they were desecrated and partially destroyed by the revolutionary mob) are situated in the grand nave and side chapels, and constitute the principal curiosity of the church.
On entering remark in the chapel de la Trinité, to the left, the tomb of Charles de Valois, and of Marie d'Espagne, his wife, as well as that of Leon de Lusignan.
The reserved part of the building, containing the royal tombs, is open free to the public from half-part ten in the morning to 5 in winter and 6 in summer, but only under the conduct of a guide.
These visits take place every half hour. The guide charges nothing for his services, hut expects a gratuity of 50 c.
To visit the vestry, the treasury and the crypt, the charge is 50 c. on week-days and 30 c. on Sundays; special cards are given at the vestry door ; these cards give the right toascend the platform.
Unfortunately the visits are too short to permit the tourist to examine the monuments at his leisure.
Permission, however, for an extended visit, may be obtained by writing in advance to the Prim icier.
Penetrating the reserved part,-we traverse the 9th and 10th galleries of the second collateral.
These two galleries contain the tombs of Catherine de Courtenay; Louis de France, comte d'Evreux, and Marguerite d'Artois, his wife; Clemence d'Hongrie ; Blanche d'Evreux; Jeanne de France; Charles comte de Valois; Charles d'Anjou: Louis and Philippe d'Alençon. Blanche de France, daughter of St. Louis ; Philippe, brother of St. Louis; and Louis, son of St. Louis.
Against the pillar separating the two galleries is the magnificent statue of Marie de Bourbon, Abbess of Poissy.
We now arrive at the northern transept, in which to the left is the tomb of Louis XII. and Anne de Bretagne. a splendid monument of the 16th century. The magnificent bas-reliefs ornamenting the lower part of this tomb represent respectively : the entry of Louis XII. into Milan ; the passage of the Apennines; the battle of Agnadel (gained over the Venetians): and the capitulation of Venice.
On the right: 2 beautiful columns; one erected to Cardinal de Bourbon, and the other to Henri III. Near these, the tombs of Robert II., the Pious, and of Constance d'Arles, of Henri I., and of Louis VI., le Gros, of Louis X., of Jean I. and of Jeanne de Navarre.
From this point, notice, to the right of the choir, the superb tomb of Dagobert I., the artistic marvel of the church. This monument, which no one (unless supplied with a special permit) is allowed 10 approach, is called with reason, one of the most remarkable curiosities of the Middle ages. It was erected by order of Saint-Louis.
Now remark, to the left, the tomb of Henri II. and Catherine de Médicis, a magnificent mausoleum in white marble.
This monument is flanked by four beautiful statues representing the four cardinal virtues.
To the right: the tombs of Philippe le Jeune and of Constance de Castille, and of Carloman and Hermentrude, wife of Charles le Chauve.

Arriving at the top of the stairway, remark, on the right, the tomb of the comte de Dreux and of a princess of the royal french blood, whose identity, however, cannot be established. On the left, is a second monument to Henri II and Catherine de Medicis.
We now snirt the choir in order to reach the vestry on the opposite side. On passing, glance at the windows of the chapel at the end, which date from the time of Suger. Also notice, facing the - vestry, the tomb of Fredegonde, dating from the VII. century.

The Treasury. — We now enter the Treasury, the immense riches of which were nearly all carried off by the mob in 1793. The manuscripts, which escaped the pillage, have been removed to the National Library.
The few objects of art saved from destruction in 1793, together with others given by the kings since that date, were still further reduced in 1882 by an audacious and successful burglary committed the 39th November of that year.
Amongst those now remaining are 2 curious altarpieces ; one, in silver, representing the Nativity and the Adoration of the wise men, is very elegant and dates from the time of Louis XIV.; its estimated value is 30,000 francs. The other, in engraved copper, dates from the XII. century, and represents Christ and the Apostles.
In a magnificent glass-cave, are some beautiful sacred vases, in gold and silver, two enamelled crosses of the time at Saint-Louis ; the crowns of Louis XIV. and Louis XV.; a very curious reliquary of the 12nd century, etc., etc.

This caveau is not open to the public, but one obtains a glimpse of the interior by the light of the guide's lantern throngh the grille.
All that remain of the works of art, portions of the royal sepulchres violated during the first revolution, have been repaired, and are found in the chapels of the crypt. Notice amongst others, the magnificent marble statues of Louis XIV. and Louis XVI., of Marie Leczinska and Marie Antoinette by Petitot, and the busts of Henri IV., of Marie Médicis and of Louis XVIII. by Valois : then medallions, bas-reliefs, a chapel dating from Dagobert's time, a grille in forged iron, and a statue of Charlemagne, as well as the caveau of Turenne, containing the bones of this great military genius.
On leaving the crypt, notice on the right the tombs of Pepin le Bref, his wife Berthe, of Louis III and Carloman.
To your left, at the side of the vestry : the tombs of Louis de Sancerre, of Charles V., of Jeanne de Bourbon, of Du Guesclin, of Charles VI. and of Isabelle de Bavière; the statue of Charles V., a masterpiece of the XIV. century; two bas-reliefs representing respectively the Battle of Bovines and the founding of the abbey of Royaumont; then the tomb of Renée d'Orleans-Longue-
ville and the statue of Beatrix de Bourbon.

An urn, dating from the Renaissance period, contains the heart of Frangois 1st.
The tomb of Marguerite de Flandres, and Charles, Comte d'Etampes, remarkable work of the XIV. century ; the tombs of Louis d'Orléans and of Valentine de Milan, both exceedingly beautiful.
Now dismiss your guide, find your way by the previous route to the station, and return to Paris.
SAINT-GERMAIN. — Situated about 13 miles from Paris, this pretty town is celebrated for its castle, containing a museum of precious antiquities ; its terrace, from whence an enchanting view of the environs of Paris may be obtained; and its magnificent forest.
Saint Germain is reached by the steam-tramway from the Arc de Triomphe, Fares : 1st class 1.65; 2nd class 1.15.
On leaving the station of St. Germain, the visitor finds himself at the Place du Chateau. To the left is the castle, and a little ne~rer the station, is the entrance to the park. To the right is the church of Saint Germain, and lacing you a cab-stand; from whence, later on, we will hire a vehicle for a drive through the forest.
After having glanced at the imposing facade of the castle, lunch at one of the restaurants in the vicinity, and return to visit the museum.
The castle is open to the public: on Sundays from half part ten till 4, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from half part eleven till 5 in summer and 4 in winter. On other days of the week (excepting
Mondays, when the galleries are completely closed) the museum is visible to visitors furnished with an authorization from the director. The park is open every day.
Before entering the castle visit the church, containing a beautiful pulpit, originally intended for the chapel at the palace of Versailles, and a mausoleum erected by order of Queen Victoria to James II of England. A statue of M. Thiers, a former President of the French Republic, stands opposite the park.
The castle. — The castle of St. Germain, built by Louis VI., was nearly completely deslroyed during the wars with the English, with the exception of the magnificent chapel erecte 1 hy Saint Louis. Repaired in 1367 by Charles V., who added to it a large square tower, it was completely restored by Francois 1st.
This castle, successively fortress, royal residence, asylum of James II of England, Military school, etc., etc., has now become a museum of national antiquities, extremely interesting to visit.
The Museum. — Our space being too limited to admit of our giving the details of museums outside Paris, we advise our readers to purchase a local guide, containing the fullest information, obtainable anywhere in the town price 1 fr. 50.
The Terrace. — The terrace of St. Germain, celebrated as much for its extent as for the beautiful view which it commands, is one of the most splendid promenades in Europe. It is 2400 mètres in length.
View. — From the terrace of St. Germain, straight in front, one sees an immense plain, dotted with villages To the right, the heights of Marly and of Louveciennes; to the left, Montmorency; and farther on, Mont Valerien, the summit of the Eiffel Tower and Montmartre.
Beyond the park du Vesinet, rises the belfry and cathedral of St. Denis.
The Pavilion Henri IV. — Situated at the commencement of the terrace, and now occupied by the hotel-restaurant where M. Thiers died in 1877, is all that remains of a royal castle commenced by Henri II., finished under Henri IV., and called the Chateau-Neuf.
This Chateau-Neuf, the favourite residence of Louis XIII., from whence he sadly comtemplated the necropolis of St. Denis, was at first greatly liked by Louis XIV., but being afterwards neglected by him and his successors for the splendours of Versailles, it was demolished by order of the Comte d'Artois, and there now rests only the chapel, to-day become one of the chambres of the restaurant.
The Forest. — The forest of Saint Germain, covering a superficial area of 4,400 hectares, the routes and walks of which are admirably kept up, is the rendez-vous of both stranger and Parisian.
No one goes to St. Germain without visiting the forest, Note. — Those having but a short time at their disposal, would do well to take a carriage from the place du Chateau. Tarif: week-days, per hour, 2 fr. 50 ; Sundays, 3 frcs.
Promenades. — The most remarkable, and therefore the most frequented, parts of the forest, are : The Chateau de Val, at the extremity of the terrace, to the right (it may also be reached by the Avenue de la Muette).
The Pheasantry. — Reached by the Avenue de la Muette and turning, at the Etoile de Berry, by the third route to the left which we follow straight on.
The Pavilion de la Muette, reached by following the Avenue de la Muette and passing by the Etoile de Berry and l'Etoile du chêne Capitaine, and lastly an excursion which we recommend above all, should you go to St. Germain in the early part of September: Les Loges, branch of the maison d'education for young ladies of the Legion of Honour at St. Denis. It is reached by a magnificent avenue 3 kilometres in length, planted with 4 rows of trees.
This avenue, binding the chateau de St. Germaiu with the Rond Point, is doubly celebrated by reason of the beautiful oak of Diane de Poitiers, and the famous.
Fete des Loges, which is held there every year, on the first Sunday in September, and continues for fifteen consecutive days. Nothing is more curious than this fair in the middle of the wood.
Having dined at St. Germain return to Paris by one of the evening trains, which leave every hour until 9.55. Last train starts at 11.20 on week-days and Sundays and fetes at midnight.
SAINT-JEAN-AUX-BOIS. — Is a small village, not particularly interesting, which boasts of a church, formerly a dependency of a priory in the neighbourhood, and which contains some exquisitely carved wood, a curious gothic tomb, and fragments of beautiful windows.
SAINT-MANDE. — A small town of about 11,000 inhabitants, much frequented by Parisians for its pure air, and owing to its proximity to the Bois de Vincennes. Many charming walks in the vicinity.
SANNOIS. — This village is situated on a hill, the summit of which is occupied by the

Moulins de Sannois, from whence an unrivalled panorama of Paris and its environs spreads itself.
SCEAUX. — Was formerly the under-prefecture for the department of the Seine.
Built on the summit of a hill, it is justly celebrated for its salubrious air and charming environs, which attract a great number of visitors during ihe season.
Its streets, clean but badly paved, are lined with beautiful trees, but since the demolition of its park and castle, Sceaux has become merely a pleasant country resort.
The church, restored during the 17th century, is a small building in the gothic style, and contains the tombs of the Dues de Maine and several princes and princesses of the Bourbon family.
Notice a beautiful marble group, representing the Baptism of Jesus, executed by Tuby in 1681; also to tbe right and left of the choir, two handsome stained-glass windows, dating from the 16th century.
A few minutes walk from the church is the magnificent Lycée Lakanal opened in 1885.
Note. — That portion of the park still remaining forms a delightful promenade.
SÈVRES. — Celebrated almost as much for its charming environs as for its manufactory of porcelain, is a small town situated between the heights of Meudon and St. Cloud.
Lunch at one of the restaurants in the vicinity, and visit the manufactory.
Having but a limited space at our dispos-al, we do not go into parLiculars, but advise our readers to purchase one of the local guides, which are cheap and give full details and information.
SURESNES. — This town, agreeably situated on the banks of the Seine, is a favourite with Parisians as well as with strangers. Formerly a manorship, Suresnes was given to the Abbot of St. Germain des Prés by Charles the Simple.
It was here the celebrated religious conferences were held in 1593 which bound Henri IV. to the catholic faith. It was also the birth place of the celebrated engineer Perronet.
TAVERNY. — This village commands a magnificent view, being situated on the slope and at the foot of a hill adjoining the forest of Montmorency.
The Church dates from the 13th century and is one of the finest in the environs of Paris, and contains a handsome stone high-altar in Renaissance style, and wood carvings of the same period representing the martyrdom of St. Bartholomew. Above the southern porch is a fine window in the flamboyant style.
TRAPPES. — Ruins of the ancient Abbey of Port Royal; a favourite retreat before the destruction of the convent of men of learning and religion, around whom clustered such illustrious men as Racine and Pascal.
TROUVILLE. — Is now the most fashionable watering-place on the coast of Normandy. It is pleasantly situated at the mouth of the Touques. The season lasts from June to October. The Casino is a large handsome structure, with concert and ball rooms, and a fine terrace on the shore.
Excellent beach.
VERSAILLES. — About 40 minutes by rail from Paris, departure from the Montparnasse Station, or by tramway starting from the Quai du Louvre, the journey occupies an hour and three quaters. A thoroughly appointed English four-in hand leaves the offices of the Daily Messenger, 167, rue St. Honore, every morning at 10 o'clock, Sundays included, during the summer.
The town of Versailles was founded by Louis XIV.
The site of Versailles was hardly favourable for a town, and still less so for a park, as the water for its ornamental ponds had to be conveyed to it from a great distance at a vast expense. The town was called by Voltaire" l'abime des depenses its palace and park having cost the treasury of Louis XIV. the enormous sum of 1000 million fr., while its annual maintenance also involved heavy expenditure. The accounts handed down to us regarding the erection of this sumptuous palace and the laying-out of its grounds almost border on the fabulous. Thus no fewer than 36,000 men and 6000 horses are said to have been employed at one time in forming the terraces of the garden, levelling the park, and constructing a road to it from Paris and an aqueduct from Maintenon, a distance of 31 m. from Versailles. This aqueduct was intended to bring the water of the Eure to Versailles, but was discontinued owing to the great mortality among the soldiers employed ; and the breaking out of the war in 1688 prevented the resumption of the works. The waterworks of Marly were afterwards constructed, and a farther supply of water obtained from the ponds on the plateau between Versailles and Rambouillet.
After the year li. 81 Versailles became the permanent headquarters of the court, and is therefore intimately associated with the history of chat period. It witnessed the zenith and the decadence of the prosperity of Louis XIV.; and under his successor the magnificent palace of the grand monarque became the scene of the disreputable Pompadour and Du Barry domination. It was at the meeting of
the Estates held here in 1789 that the Tiers Etat took the memorable step, — the first on the way to the Revolution, — of forming itself into a separate body, the Assemblee Nationale. A few months later the unfortunate Louis XVI. saw the palace of Versailles sacked by a Parisian mob, which included many thousands of women (•« les dames de la halle"), and since that period it has remained uninhabited. During the Revolution it narrowly escaped being sold. Napoleon neglected it owing to the great expense which its repair would have entailed; and the Bourbons on their restoration merely prevented it from falling to decay and erected the pavilion on the south side. Louis Philippe at length restored the building, and converted part of it into an historical picture-gallery.
From 19th Sept., 1870, to 6th March, 1871, the palace was the head-quarters of the King of Prussia, and a great part of the edifice was then used as a military hospital, the pictures having been carefully covered to protect them from injury. An impressive scene took place here on 18th Jan., 1871, when the Prussian monarch, with the unanimous consent of the German states, was saluted as Emperor of Germany. To describe minutely all the events which occurred at Versailles during the above period would be to write a history of the Franco-Prussian war. The house No. 1, boulevard du Roi was the scene of the negociations between Prince Bismarck and Jules Favre on 23rd-24th Jan.
and 26th-28th Jan., which decided the terms for the capitulation of Paris and the preliminaries of peace. After the departure of the German troops (12th Mar., 1871), Versailles became the seat of the French government, and it was from here that Marshal Macmahon directed the struggle against the outbreak of the Commune. It was not till 1879 that the government and the chambers transferred their headquarters to Paris.
The Church of Notre-Dame contains a monument of the Comte de Vergennes, minister of Louis XVI.
For full details of the Palace, as well as the Grand and Petit Trianon, see local guides, by vendors of which the traveller is assailed, on approaching the Palace.
VILLE D'AVRAY. — A pretty spot on the Versailles railway. Interesting church, and chateau dating from the 18th century. Near the railway is the Villa des Jardies, the scene of Gambetta's death, and once occupied by Balzac. Near the end of the rue de Versailles on the left are some picturesque ponds.
VINCENNES. — Can be reached either by tramway from the Louvre, from the Bastille, or by the Vincennes Railway.
It is interesing as one of the fortresses of the outskirts of Pari,. In the Cour Marigny is a statue of General Daumesnil.
The chateau de Vincennes was commenced in the twelfth century, and has since been gradually enlarged. Used as a royal residence until 1740, Louis XV. then converted it into a porcelain manu-- factury. In 1751, the works being removed to Sevres, the chateau de Vincennes became first a mili-
tary school, and six years afterwards, a weapon manufactury. Louis Philippe fortified the chateau and transformed it into an extensive artillery depot, with an Ecole de Tir It is now seldom shown to foreigners.
The chateau was used as a State Prison from the days of Louis XI. (1461-83) onwards. Among many illustrious persons who have been confined within its walls, may be mentioned the King of Navarre (1574), the Grand Condd (1650), Cardinal de Retz (1652), Fouquet (1661), Count Mirabeau (1777), the Duc d'Enghien (1804), the ministers of Charles X. (1830), and the conspirators against the National Assembly (15th May, 1848).
A melancholy interest attaches to the fortress from its having been the scene of the execution of Uie unfortunate Due d'Enghien, the last scion of the illustrious Conde family. On the suspicion tha he was implicated in a conspiracy against the emperor, he was arrested by order of Napoleon on 14th March, 1804, on German territory, conveyed to Vincennes, and there condemned to death by a court-martial. The sentence was executed on 20th March, and the body of the duke interred in the fosse where he was shot. In 1816 Louis XVIII. caused his remains to be removed to the chapel, where he erected a monument to his memory.
In May, 1871, the chateau was one of the last places occupied by the insurgents. They evacuated it on the approach of the Versailles troops, leaving one of their number concealed in a casemate, with instructions to set fire to the powder-magazine when the troops had entered. As, however, almost certain death awaited him in any case, the unfortunate man preferred suicide to the execution of his murderous commission.
The Chapel with its tasteful Gothic front, begun in 1379 under Charles V., and completed in 1552 in ihe reign of Henri II., has recently been restored. The lofty vaulting and the stained glass by Cousin are worthy of notice. The monument of the Due d'Enghien. now in the old sacristy, a poor work by Deseine, consists of four figures in marbre : the duke supported by religion, France bewailing his loss, and a figure emblematic of Vengeance.
The Salle d'Armes, or Armoury, filled up in 1819, is said to contain weapons sufucient to aquip 120,000 men. The artillery stores occupy the ground-floor, and the other arms the floor above.
The Donjon, or Keep, in which slate-prisoners were formerly confined, is a massive square tower of five stories, 170 ft. in height, with four smaller towers at the corners. The walls are 10 ft. thick, The platform, to which 237 steps ascend, commands a fine view of the surrounding district.
To the east of the chateau is the Fort de Vincennes, beyond which begins the Bois de Vincennes, a beautiful park, much less frequented than the Bois de Boulogne, but of scarcely inferior attraction, though unfortunately disfigured by the plain in the centre.
The park was once a forest, where Louis IX. (d. 1270) used to hunt and to administer justice ; but it was entirely replanted by Louis XV. in 1731. SinLe that period considerable encroachments on its extent have been made by the railway and the fortifications, but it still covers an area of about 2250 acres, Including the Champ de Manoeuvres (1/2 m. wide) in the middle, and the artillery Polygone It 1857-58 it was successfully transformed into a public park by Vicaire and Bassompierre. It is more natural than the Bois de Boulogne, and contains fewer exotics.

EDUCATION IN PARIS 13, AVENUE VICTOR-HUGO, PARIS The Rev. James Cardwell, M. A., Graduate in First Class Honours, Cambridge University, England, has been engaged for the last 25 years in preparing for the English and American Colleges and Universities, where many of his pupils have taken high honours.
Aided by a large and experienced staff, Mr. Cardwell is able to give to each pupil the individual attention, and the exact direction in his studies, which he requires. Every pupil's work is recited and corrected separately, so that he has all the advantages of private tuition, with the discipline, and the opportunity of comparing results, to be had in a school.
While great attention is given to the English, Mathematical, and Classical studies required for the Collegiate Courses, every facility is provided for the acquisition of Foreign Languages.
Conversational French, for adults and junior pupils, is taught by Professors who have had long experience and great success in this branch of tuition.
Lady pupils are received in. class rooms set apart for them.
Private lessons are given at the residences of pupils when desired, and there are always on the Staff Tutors able to take travelling engagements.
The terms are according to the number of hours' tuition required.
JUNIOR DEPARTMENT To meet a generally-expressed want, a Junior Department has been opened for boys under fifteen.
The classes are limited to five at most, and generally consist of only two or three, so that the fullest individual attention is received in every case.
The curriculum comprises the studies taken by boys of the same age in English and American schools, and, when desired, pupils are especially prepared for entrance to these schools.
French is very carefully taught, -and only that language is allowed to be spoken at meal times and in the walks taken with Professors.
The house is situated in one of the healthiest parts of Paris, has a garden in front, and is only a few minutes walk from the Bois de Boulogne.
All preparation of lessons may be done at school'under the supervision of the masters.
Inclusive terms per month from 75 francs.
BOARDERS A few boarders can be received in both departments and pupils can stay for lunch if desired.
Boarders can also be received in a French Family residing in the same house, or by one of the French Professors residing in the country, a few miles from Trouville.
The Institution was founded to meet the wants of visitors spending long or short periods in Europe The work is so arranged that pupils only having a few weeks at their disposal can employ them profitabiy.
Juniors can stay for two or three weeks, and as boarders are pleasantly and profitably occupied instead of losing their time in pensions and hotels.
Summer school is carried on during July, August and September, in the country on a large farm five miles from a town, and suits boys better than traveling and hotel life. They are constantly in the open air, have good, plain food and improve remarkably in health.

FROM LONDON TO PARIS
The comparatively short journey between one and the other of the great European capitals is one which has demanded almost all the resources of modern science to overcome the natural drawbacks attending its peculiar features. Paris is, by rough calculation, about 260 miles from London which distance must be covered by the voyager in three stages. First, the railway journey to the Channel, then the Crossing thereof, and finally, another railway journey to destination. The Channel is a notoriously fickle expanse of water, its calmness or commotion having very little to do with the land conditions on either side, but depending upon the state of the sea beyond. Sometimes it is smooth as a mill-pond and at others most dangerous. Its condition is usually specially reported in all the morning papers. No finer line of steamers traverses it than the magnificent boats of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, which, while the most luxurious of excursion steamers, are built to ride the stiffest gales like a Transatlantic liner.
The London, Chatham, and Dover Railway. — The Dover and Calais route, which is in high favour with the very best classes of American tourists, runs from Victoria Station, London, to Dover pier, and from Calais pier to Paris over the Northern Railway of France. Length of journey between seven and eight hours, of which about one and a quarter are spent on the sea. Passengers are carried from Dover to Calais (the shortest sea passage to France) by the magnificent S.S. Calais-Douvres, Empress, Victoria, "and Invicta, owned and controlled solely by the Company. The London, Chatham, and Dover Company's trains run from Victoria, St. Paul's, and Holborn Stations, through the prettiest and most picturesque parts of Kent, and passengers have the privilege of stopping over at Rochester to visit the Cathedral and the Castle, and at Canterbury to view the Cathedral (containing the tomb of the martyr Thomas a'Becket), and other places of interest.
Tt will be well to note that Mr. A. Thorne, late at H. B. Claffiin and Co.'s, of New York, but now the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company's American Representative, is at the service of Americans intending to travel by their line for any information or facilities in his power to render. He may be addressed at the Company's offices, Victoria Station, London.
The South-Eastern Rail-way's London terminus is at Charing Cross. The Paris terminus of the line is at the Gare du Nord. This route lies by way of Folkestone and Boulogne, occupying seven and a half hours for the journey, of which one and a half are spent at sea. By special connection passengers may, however, cross by way of Dover and Calais, if they prefer, in the same time. The South-Eastern Railway trains also run a special cheap service at night of second and third class carriages. Besides Charing Cross, South-Eastern Railway trains also run from London Bridge and Cannon Street Stations.
The London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. — Commonly called the Newhaven and Dieppe route, because of its trans-Channel service being between these ports. Its stations are - in London, Victoria, and in Paris, the Gare St-Lazare. The journey takes about ten hours, of which one third is spent on the sea. Rouen is the principal stopping place en route. From Paris to Dieppe is run over the Western Railway of France.
The London and South-Western Railway from London to Paris via Southampton and Havre gives a journey of nineteen hours, of which eight and a half are spent on the sea.
