IMPERIAL STEEDs.-A lady writing from

went, hardly thinking it worth while, but
they are really one of the wonders of Paris
The stables-or saloons as call them-are
under the gallery of the Louvre, and there
must be more than 100 horses belonging to
his Majesty. Each horse has large stall to
himself, with his name over the top, and his
manger is constructed of black marble. we
were then shown the State carriages, some OF
which were loaded with gliding and lined with
satin. then came all the saddles, which were
very elegant; and when we had visited tne
whole, we did not wonder that such grand
card of admission was necessary for the estab-
lishment.
