IMPERSONATING THE SHAH.
Tick Shah of Persia is evidently responsible for the lunacy of a poor fellow who walked up to the house of the stationmaster at Aeniures, outside Paris, late ono Sunday night, awoke the official with a thuuderiug noise, and demanded in stentorian tones five hundred tickets for Toherau. The station-master dressed himself quickly, and went to look at the strange traveller, who stated with much rolubility that he was the Shah of Persia; that five hundred of his loveliest wives were cooped up in the waiting-room, and that a telegram should at once be sent to the President of tho Republic f*r a special train. The station-master turned away, but was set upon by tho lunatic and severely beaten before help arrived. The insane man was then mastered and convoyed to tho police infirmary.
