FOREIGN NOTES
 AND COMMENT

h thorough keeping wi,h Emperor Williams character, which is noted for
 it's Self-aSsertiyenesS rather than for
 Iss modesty, are the visiting cards which he employs. They are, without exception, the largest in use anywfera
 in Europe, and can be compared to these huge visiting cards that are con sidered gcCd fCi m in China by the man.
 darins.
 To give an idea of the cmperor's vis-
 iting cards, it may be stated tha, they
 measure no less than six inches in lsngth and four inches in width. On the upper line is the single word 'Wll-
 helm" end on the second line the
 words. ''Deutscher Kaiser und Koenig von Pr9ussen," that is to say German Emperor and King of Prussia"
 These words are print:d in ia. and large Gothic letters. It is hardly nee essary to add that the emperor does net consider it necessary to inscribe, like ordinary folks, his address on his visiting cards, perhaps for the very rsa- son that he is so exceedingly seldom at
 home. Of course, the emperor does rot carry about these huge bits of paste board himself. They are coGfdad to his chasseur, or body servant, who fol-
 
 used when calling on foreign ambassa- dcrs, either in Berlin, CT in other capL- tals which he may visit, and on royal personages.
 The other sovereig1s in Europs con- tent themselves with quite small and unobtrusive visiting cards. with the words in Latin script, among the most simple in point Cf size and appear ance being these of the emperor Of Austria and of the prince of Wales The latter. IL may be added, has two sets Of cards, ole for use abroad, ana the ether for use in England. The lai.- ter bears the words. the Prince Of Walas," the other the French transla- tion Of the same, namely, the Prince dc Gales"
 The kaiser, by the way. has prom ised 10 dover every one Of the girls al ConstantinopIe employed in the man. ufacture of the superb carpet presented to him by the sultan. This has led to the irTeverent suggestion that the sul- tan should imm 7diately proceed to gather these girls into his haren, with a view to recovering from the kaiser some 0; the money spent in entertain ing him.
 President Faure has come in for 9 good deal of unfriendiy commsnt at Paris in connection with the failure Of any member of his family 10 attend the requiem mass for Mime. C3rnOt, at the Madeleine. Every one knows that there was a consid ble amount Of cOolness between Mime. Carnot and President Taure., 3 coolness not altogether to the credit of Frances actual chief mag istrate. But still, at the same time, t is felt that this should not have b5e2 allowed to sand in the way of his own presence, and e that of his wife and daughter at the obsequies of the Wid- Ow of his murdered predecessor in os- {; flee.
 Ire president claims that he was pre- vented from attending the ceremony by | the laws of etiquette prescribed by the ] protocol. But TO protocol CT peGantic , regard for etiquette can ezcuss the chief of civilized sta5e from acting i as Q man Of feeling, and it may be / remembered that Presider, Casimir- i Perrier insisted on acting as chief . mourner at the funeral of President i Carnot, and of walking alone immedi- 1 ately behind the heGrse through the /. streets of Farls, although every CD- j stacIe had been placed in his way, DO- ; only by the protocol, but likewise by [ the government itself, which feared, ! with reason, a repetition Of the trag- i edy of Lyons, and 2n attempt on his i lie.
 A correspondent has drawn my al tention to the very small number of | clcrgymen's daughters who have sue ceeded io finding titled husbands, and asks me to account fer the circum stance I candidIy confess that I am unable to do so, unless it be for che req sO1 that fondness for amuss sment and for the hurly-burly Of fashionable life leads scions Of the nobility to seek entertainment elsewhere than in par sonages. A; the same time. 1t does seem Cdd that there are so few clergy mems daughters wearing coronets. he only ones that I can think of at the present moment are Lady Penrhyn, a daughter Of Canon Glynn, who pre- ceded his nephew, Stephen Gladstone, as rector Of Hawardep; Lady Douglas, wife of Lhe eldest surviving son and heir Of the marquis of Qusensberry, is likewise the daughter of a clergyman. and so, tee, is Lady Miller, wre Cf Sir James Miller (Who won the derby 6 year or two ago. and sister of the new Y viceroy Of India. :,
