Celeste takes a benefit on Monday night. The
mind usually tires VIXEN the same object is ever
presen,c Cd 10 it. But this rule evident in other
things does not bold good in the case Of this dam
seuse And why! Because the features of Celese's
acting and dancing are so ever variant, that the
eve does not recognize any samencss about them
This is trait peculiar to this lady. And it proves
he TO be artistic of the first order. Her acton
and her dancing not the mere result of prac-
tised imitation or set form, but they emenate from
the mind and hence the beautiful adaptation Of her
panomime and dancing to the sui ject before her
Sawrin, the grea, Huguenot preacher a, the Hague
had constant dread of sameness, and all his CT
forts were to depend upon mind for the source OF
action, and speaking. He continually exercised
the inventive faculties, and hence his brilliant sue
cess sermonizer He spake for twenty years
to the very same congregational congregation Of
princes and no5emcn,-a congregation the least
o. whom were scholars, and in all that time, he
was never known to be guilty of plagiarism from
| his own works. So il is with Celeste. We have
seen her light after night in the French Spy, and
". look in vain for plagiarism from her previous
performance. We instance the dancing scene in
that play That beautiful Arab Ca nee always
comes 10 the eye un'er different phass. And
this is the great charm Of Celeste. A merely dull
initiative dance, keeping time to the music, and
proceeding according the rules of tie art is list
| less, painful and 'resone. But when soul pervades
| every muscle and nerve, when mind gives energy
and meaning to the tread, the step, the movement,
the look, the action; then it is that tho syspathies
! of the auditor are reused and chained to the spot
where such an exhibition is going on. And sucl,
will always be the result where genius is fount,
and talent to pu, it IN action.
| Celeste has lost of the giant energy of soul
which distinguished her performances last year
She has improved by practice, and displays ripper
Judgment in her pnntomme. To night will be a
source of pleasure to her. She will see that her
exer,ions have not been thrown away, that her
powers have been duly appreciated. The house
assembled to night will give ample proof of that
fact.
| Hereafter when the fair beneficiary will have
| left the scene of her mimic truupss in the fine
arts, she will have cause to remember the night Of
the Goth March l837-it will be to her OF
deep feeling and qualification TO know tina, her
appeal for the reward Of cease,ss excrtion found
prompt response in the bosom Of every 0rlcaneis
not for her own sake, but for the sake of the
pued queen.

COMMERCE OF CHrcAGo.-Tbc rapid growth OF
Chicago is subject of remark and wonder through

bears no comparison with that of its commerce, as
will be seen in the following statement; In 1893
there were are Informed, but four arrivals from

saw 700 tons In 1885 there we're about two hundred
and fifty arrivals nearly all OF which were schooners
averaging about 80 tons burden each, or 1880 tons

226 DAYS, 456 vessels (49 steamboats,, 10 ships and
barqucs, 26 briggs 1858 schooners, and soops arrv-
