KEYS OF THE BASTILLE.
These Historic Relics of Old Paris
Owned by an American.


Owned by an American.
The keys which locked the great
gates Of the Bastille at the time of its
fall have been in America for a num-
Der of years. For nearly a century
they remained in the possession of the
family OF the Frenchman who took
them from the famous prison, though
they have recently come into the pos
session Of an Englishman living in
Quebec.
When the mob stOrmed the prison on
July II, 1889, a Partisan. Carrier
Lechastel is said to have been the
first to rush over the drawbridge rs it
fell. 1t was he, at any rate, who over
took a fleeing jailer and took the keys
from him. The mob Immediately stuck
the keys Oh the end of a spike and an
immense thrOng paraded with them
through the streets. They were coz
sidered one of the most valuable trO-
phies of the revolution.
Lechastel kept the keys, and they
remained in his family until 1859,
when a descendant of the family emf
grated to America, taking them with
him. Eventually the keys were sold
to John Hamilton Of st. Louis, who
kept them for twenty-five years, ex-
hibiting them from time to time. when
they were sold to a Canadian.
One of the keys was obtained in
France by General Lafayette and was
presented by him to George Washing
ton a year or two before his death. 1t
hangs in the mansion at Mount Yer
non and has been seen by thousands Of
visitors there.
The keys at present are very old and
rusty. The largest Of them is twelve
inches long and is quite heavy. The
smallest is Of fine workmanship, the
socket being shaped like the ace Of
clubs, and is supposed to have belong
ed to the treasure rooms. This and an
other key measure six inches in length,
while the other two are about ten
inches and much Misunderstanding
