Of course, the Emperor -does not carry these Imposing sheets of pasteboard. himself; they are ; confided to his chasseur, or body servant, who follows him. . - The other sovereigns of Europe are content with more modest visiting cards, with the words upon them In Latin script. Among the simplest in site and appearance are those of the Emperor of Austria and the Prince of Wales. The Prince has two sets of cards, one for use abroad and the other for England. The English one bears the words The Prlnoe of Wales," the other the French equivalent "Prince 4e Gales." ... Oscar 1 iftiian, the atar Protestant Cathedrals In England Reynold's Newspaper.
