NoTRE DAME.--We devoted an hour
or more to an examination of the church
Of n loire Dame, which, in its architec-
ture, ornaments, historical associations,
is full Of interest. Il is the most ancient
religious edifice in Paris, and occupies
the site Of heather temple, erected
in the reign Of Iiberius, ard dedicated
TO Jupiter, Castor and Pollux. Its pro-
portions are grand, and strike the mind
with awe, as we'll as with respect.
for its venerable age, which dates back
as Ear as the commencement of the 18th
century. 1t is upwards of 400 feet long,
IA wide, and hundred high, with
massive walls, aud supported by 120
colossal columns. In the various parts
of the structure, there are 297 pillars
hewn from solid rocks. Two of the
three portals are of antique architec-
ture, and loaded with protusion of or
nament. The choir is extremely splen.
did, Astounding with decorations Of ele-
CANT workmanship, and enriched with
paintings from the pencils of the first
masters. 10 the centre is a brazen ca
gle measuring several feet from wing.
The altar and steps leading to it are OF
Languedoc marble, yariegated with stars
Of gold and all the embellishments are
in the costliest and most superb style,
sponding with religious faitbA
which appeals to the heart rather
through the medium OF the eye than Of
the ear or the understanding. Thirty
chapeIs extend quite round The walls Of
the church.
10 this church the coronation of the
Emperor Napoleon took place 10 1904
The robes worn on this OCCASION by
himself, by the Empress Josephine, by
/, Pope Plus VII. and the retinue of
priests, are deposited in the cathedral,
and were all exhibited TO us by one OF
its officers. They were made by the
express orders of Bonaparte, TO give
spiendor and ecIat 10 the ceremony. and
were subsequently presented TO Notre
Dame. In richness Of figure, colour,
and ornament, they bafRe all descrip-
lion. Some of them are blue, and 9TH
|, ers purple, massive with gold, and en-
bossed with the most dazzling devices.
They are preserved in case of draw
ers, ten or twelve feet square, which
are swung out one by one, and display
the robes full spread, without the ne
cessity Of handling. At extraordinary
fetes, the fat corps of ecclesiasilcs al
a-~LoI 80 tho church sometimes mt
them on, TO increase their Importance
in the eyes ofthe multitude.
, In the same room are deposited the OH
! or reealia used at the coronation, consist
inc Of vases, chalices, and the usual fur
f niture Of kings, Of the purest gold, stud
: ded with the richest gems. Some curi-
!. Gus antiques, forming past OF the re-
