Upon the banks of the Tigris, at Bagdad, the traveller can most surely realise all that is realisable of the Arabian Niglits entertainment. The drama fit persona: of those wonderful tales walk to-day in the streets and sit in the coflee-houscs of Bagdad. Not an article of costume or a fashion of hair has been changed. The occupations, too, are just the same, save in the tramway winch Midliat Pasha introduced and which Mr. Geary says now realises a profit of cent, per cent, upon the original outlay. It is the first instance of joint-stock enterprise in Bagdad. For the equivalent of 2UI. a passenger is conveyed by tln\ tramway lv a celebrated bliuih" shrine at Jxazimaiii, about four miles to the south o{ Bagdad.
