A ROYAL PUBLIsHER.-TheS Shah of
Persia is busily engaged in preparing
magnificent edition of the Arabian
Nights Entertainments. This edition
will contain many tales and poems not
included in former copies. A number of
Illustrative paintings, by the first artists
of the country, added to the exquisite
beauty of the printed characters, will
make this work a unique book in its
kind. The artists, under the personal
direction of the Shah, have been at
work on this edition for the last seven
years. Some notion of the splendor Of
the book may be suggested by the fact
that its preparation has already cost in
that country, where living is so cheap
and money so dear, more than sixty
thousand dollars.

struck his helmet. It was singular how
he could kill himself without stripninn
off the armor before he performed that
operation. Once, when playing Alex

hit the cup bearer. then played bv ono
of the hack performers, Mr.. JENNY

about and kick most immoderateIy, ex-
hibitinS symptoms of excessive torture,
and at length expired with groan SO
deep that the audience believed he was
killed.
