some of the leading men in the impending
struggle, from various sources:
Victor Emanuel IL, King Of Sardina
which country bears almost the same rela-
ton to the pending European war that
Turkey did to the Crimean, is one Of the
prominent actors in the great drama now
being enacted on the Eastern hemisphere.

generals of Europe.
The Marquis D'Azeglio has figured in
the quarrel very prominently. He is the
Sandman ambassador, and one of the old
