THE TUILERIES.

The history OF the Tueries begins with the att ic
Of Philibert Detorme. Catherine de Medicis ordered
that the Pa.as de Tournelles, where Montgomery
had killed Henry H., her husband, should be de-
molished. Demolished 1t accordingly was. The
widow OF Henry ii. then went with her children to
the Louvre-the old Louvre. Her children were
Francis H., husband OF Mary Stuart; Charles TX,
the assassin or helpless Huguenots and CON-
poser OF tad rhymes; Henry H., who be-
came King OF Poland; Francis sAnjou.
who gained the famous battle OF Jarnac,
and who died to leave his throne 10 Henry w.,
FIRST King OF France and Navarro. The old Louvre
could not contain the Italian pomp OF the bad,
bold daughter Of the Medicls, and Catherine had
chateau constructed on the ground, where in olden
times all the tiles fuiIes, OF Paris were manufac.
tured. Hence the name OF Tuilerics. According 10
the plans OF Pnilibcrt Delorme, the architect OF
Catherine, the Tuilerics we're 10 be palace-a true
palace OF the valois, with royal frontage, deli

death he had the good fortune To behold that attc
which for centuries afterwards was TO be the pride
OF the occupants or the 1uIlcries.

that large street interest had been formed OF th8
