HISTORIC COACHES.
They Have Been PromInent Factors
Many Bloody Scenes.


Many Bloody Scenes.
For many generations the coach hs.
played an important part in the worlds
work and pleasures. What tales II
could tell of court and field History
itself may be said to have run on
wheels. In the tragedies of French
history, especially, we find the lum-
bering four-wheeled conveyance play
ing conspicuous though silent part.
The gallant Henry of Navarro, man of
his day though he was, had a eonserva-
tive aversion to the novelty. He much
preferred the sturdy steed on which he
was wont TO trot about the streets of
seventeenth-century Paris. But one
day that crazy fanatic, Jean de lIsle,
set upon the king as he was ambling
along and had nearly plunged his dag
ger in the royal breast Henry deemed
II unwise any longer to appear among
his excitable lieges on horseback and
so reluctantly resorted TO a coach as a
means of conveyance. Ills coach was
supplied. not with glass win flows, but
simply with leather curtains lined with
silk; and il was in this vehicle that he
was riding when the assassin Ravaillac
availed himself of the kings exposed
position to plunge his knife in his
heart
After that the state coaches were
built in manner to afford more Sc
curity to their occupants, and were
made with solid backs and sides. Even
this was not found safe, and IN some
instances the coach panels were lined
with sheet iron. The coach of Louis
XIV, was attacked by the half-s tarved
mob as il passed through the streets in
his funeral procession-a forewarning
of the mighty convulsion which was to
burst forth ninety years later. But the
tragic history of royal coaches in
France was by no means closed by this
ebullition. As LOUIS graceless sue
cessor, Louis Nv. of the name, was
stepping into his coach he was stabbed
by Damieus, and France had nearly
lost the most worthless and dissClute
of all her rulers. The vivid picture OF
the sad and strange journey of the six
teenth Louis, with his stately queen,
from Versailles to Paris, will not be
readily forgotten by those who have
been thrilled by Carlyle's description
of it. When, in the end. Louis was
condemned to death, he went to the
scaffold in a filthy hackney carriage.
His beautiful and naughty queen rode
to her death in a yet meaner convey
ance. She was doomed to go thither in
a hideous tumbrel. like ordinary NOR
tails, and she assembled il and took her
place. standing bare-headed against
the side with her hands tied behind
her, the savage mob yelled out: widow
Capet, get into your pleasure carriage"
