Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean in America.

(From the Chicago Times of July 11.)
THE OPERA HOUSE.

A full houso was the result of the announcement that
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean would again appear before the
public of Chicago on Saturday evening. Mr. M'Vicker
had secured the use of the spacious Opera-house for the
short engageinent of two nights during which these dis-
tinguished artists were to make their last appearance in
this city. The play for Saturday night was the moral
drama of " The Gamester," Mr. Kean taking the role of
Beverly, and Mrs. Kean that of Mrs. Beverly. Mr. J. F.
Cathcart appeared as Stukely, Mr. G. Everett as Lewson,
and Miss Chapman as Charlotte. The other characters
were distributed among the regular company of MrVicker's
T heatre.

Dining the one week's absence of Mr. and Mrs. Kean
the theatre-going portion of our people have have had oc-
casion to appreciate the superior excellence of their repre-
sentations, by mere contrast with the performances of
those who have supplied their places, however excellent
in themselves these performers may have been. There is
a nervous energy, a life-like reality about the acting of
Charles Kean, which almost puts to shame the laboured
efforts of meritorious artists, to say nothing of the ranting,
strutting tyros who swarm upon the modern stage. In
44 The Gamester" there is abundant scope for the display
of this peculiar power. It is a play which, poorly acted,
would be absolutely unbearable. The most interesting
situations are so highly drawn that a little over-doing
would not fail to disgust an intelligent audience, both
with the play and the players; while a lack of proper
energy would render all concerned an insipid and borous
dose. The death scene in the closing act was a grand
impersonation. The bounding joy of Beverly, when his
wife and sister aro ushered into his cell ; the wild throb of
hope, when he learns of his uncle's death, and thus sees
happiness once more within his grasp ; the dull pangs of
despair, when a moment after he recalls the fact that
all this prospective wealth has been sacrificed by his
folly ; and then the terrible news that Lewsen had fallen
a victim to the plots of his persecutors ; all this was pour-
trayed with an astonishing truthfulness. But then comes
the malicious accusation which would lay the guilt of
Lewsen's death upon his soul, the horror and agony at-
tending which is barely suffered to be depicted upon his
countenance, before the entrance of Lewsen alive and well,
going hand in hand with subtile poison, brinks on the
last quivering agony of death. The role of Mrs. Kean
was no less difficult, and no less admirably.rendered. Mr.
T. F. Cathcart, as Stukoly, was also perfect in his imper-
sonation of sinister friendship and revengeful avarice.
On Monday evening Mr. and Mrs. Kean made their last
appearance at the Opera-house in Shakspere's celebrated
comedy of " Much Ado About Nothing." Mr. M'Vickor
himself appeared in his successful role of Dogberry.

GOODWOOD RACES, 1865.—The Cup of this
year is manufactured by Messrs. London and
Ryder, of 17, New Bond-street, from a design selected by
his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, and H. Savile, Esq., the
stewards. The main object has been to show a meaning
and purpose in the work; the spirit of a poem is here de-
picted, instead of recourse to the worn-out principles of
race-horses running riot over handles, and exhaustless
horns of plenty giving forth abundance beyond the dreams
of avarice. The celebrated German poem of Burger's,
" Leonora," and translated by Julia M. Cameron, is here
rendered. The heroine, Leonora, and her spectral lover,
form the group crowning the summit of the cup.
" Tramp, tramp across the land they ride,
Splash, splash across the sea."
The sculptor and painter's great difficulty is confessedly
the poetry of motion. We have here almost visible the
spirit of life and motion—the demon horse amidst
t 4 The airy rabble dance around."
CURIOSITIES OF THE INCOME LISTS.—The income

lists for 1864, now in course of publication, preseht
some curious facts. One man who had no income in 1863
now returns $94,000. Another, under the same circum-
stances, returns $BB,OOO. One dry goods' merchant returns
an income of $600,000 for 1864. His:sales were over
$42,000,000. The next highest sales in dry goods were over
$39,000,000 ; but the merchant through whose hands this
immense amount of money passed returns an income of
only $300,000. The previous year ho returned an income
of $1,800,000, the largest in the city. This tremendous
fluctuation startles everybody, and shows to what changes
our business men are subjected. Astor was generally con-
sidered the richest man in the city, and people were asto-
nished when, in 1860, he returned an income of only $BOO,OOO,
and was eclipsed by the dry goods' merchant with $1,000,000
more. But the present returns show that the merchant has
fallen to $300,000, whereas Astor, whose property is in real
estate and bonds, appeals at $1,300,000. A pork dealer
who has recently eloped to Europe, and carried with him,
it is said, $500,000 of other people's money, returned an in-
come of $15,000 in 1863, and of $30,000 in 1864. There
are persons who live at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, keep their
carriages, and have a box at the opera, and yet only return
an income of $6OO. This is jocosely accounted for by the
fact that every man has a right to deduct his house-rent
from his income, and by the supposition that each one of
these persons deducts the rental of the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
Matrimonial allowances are often based upon the income
lists, some adventurer being willing to pay the tax upon
$50,000 in order to get a rich wife. Sometimes the adven-
turer afterwards discovers that his wife's wealth rests upon
an equally unsubstantial basis. The moral of all this is,,

That the income lists give us no true idea of our citizens'
incomes, but are an index to the pride, plots, and vanitiets
of mankind.—New York Herald.
