Letter-Bags of Rulers.
A Berlin newspaper recently published some curious details respecting the letter-bags of the principal European Sovereigns. It is the Pope who breaks the record, as he receives every day from 32,000 to 23.000 letters and newspapers. King Edward VII. comes next with 3,000 newspapers and 1,000 Utters. The Czar and German Emfisror receive each from 600 to joo etters, appeals, &c.; the King of Italy, 500; Queen Wilhelmina, from 100 to 150. The Pope, says the same authority, employs no fewer than 35 secre ‘ taries. The Emperor William writes a great deal himself, and since Queen Victoria’s death he has used black-bor-dered paper. In ordinary times he uses large sheets of light blue or dark grey paper.
