While Mr.. Charles Kean was in this
country, BackUs gave an amusing imita-
ton OF him. When Kean went to Cali.
fornia he dropped into the theater to see
the imitation of himself in Hamlet"
The next day he sent his compliments
to the minstrel with q request that he
call upon him, as he had something ur.
gent to communicate to him. Wonder
ing what the tragedisn could have to say
to him Of such Importance, Backus tore
over to Kean's hotel, and was immedi-
ately ushed into the august presence OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Kean. After the inter.
change of the usual civilities the TRACE.
dian said:
Mr.. Backus, l saw your imitation OF
me last night, and | must admit that it
was good-yes, sir, good, but not perfect.
| have, therefore, sent for you to instruct
you in the part of Hamlet" in order
that you may correct the deficiencies in
your performance and initiate me to the
life-yes, sir, to the very life."
Backus was by this time somewhat un.
comfortable, and began to glance yearn-
ingly at the door, but there was no es-
cape. Kean rang the bell and sent for
Mr.. Cathcart and Mr.. Everett, two gen.
tlemen who supported the Keans.
Now, gentlemen" said the tragedisn.
let US rehearse the ghost scene in
Hamlet You, Mr.. Backus, speak the
lines Of Hamlet after me-imitating
me as closely as possible. Mr.. Cathcart
and Mr.. Everett will rehearse "Horatio"
and Marcellus."
Now, Mr.. Backus felt a delicacy about
taking off the great man to his face, so
be repeated the lines in his own natural
manner. Kean recognized that there was
something lacking, and was for going
through the entire piece. Backus began
to perspire, and was getting tired, when
Kean said impatiently after a certain
speech:
Now, sir, cau'tyou say that as [ do?"
Yes, sir," replied Backus, and throw
ing delieacy and difideRce to the four
winds of heaven, he initiated him With
such ludicrous precision hat Mrs. Kean
threw up her hands with q Shrek, ex-
claiming, Wonderful" and Everett and
Cathcart burst into roars Of laughter.
kean frowned and shouted out:
"Gud Cad, Ealiu dow I-ah-me-outh
lee-ike the.at2" [Good God, Ellen do l
mouth like that21
In the fun and confusion Backus seized
his hat and bolted.

fine face, lighted by dark and piercing
eyes. He lives in Amesbury, and visits
much in Boston, and has never been
