DEEP PLACER MINING.

Professor Silliman, Of Yale College, last evening
lectured at Cooper Union on "Deep Placer Mining
In California" before a very large audience, that
was made up OF adults as well as the pupils. The
lecturer illustrated his subject by views from the
cuts, &c. Among these were the summit OF the
Sierra Nevada, strawberry Grade, the snow sheds
Of the Northern Pacific Railroad, the banks of
Lake Tarko. and the granite formations along
its banks. The Professor opened by reviewing
the geology of that portion OF the Continent, and
graphically traced the line of the gold formations,
the course of canyons, mount ains and streams,
reviewing the modes OF working the gold fields In
the early days OF the excitement, as well as now,
when the ylraulic process has replaced the pick
and pam Tue lecture was highly interesting to
the student OF geological formations, and was
rendered doubly 80 by the spirited scenes ex-
hibited upon the canvas.

THE LITTLE NECK MURDER.

Graha ms Murderer Undoubtedly Found
Remarkable Circumstantial Evidence
The Body OF an Unknown Man Found
In HaymOw-Seventy-fo Dollars md
Pair fNew Boots Found on Him.
The body OF an unknown man was found in a hay
now near NewtOwn, Long Island, yesterday, and
the evidence thus far adduced goes to show almost
concusively that the man was the murderer OF the
late James Graham, OF Little Neck. He had secre;ed
himself here, and had died from cold and hunger.
The barn Is the property Of Mr.. Anderson, residing
near the railroad bridge at Newtown. The dis
covery was first made by Peter Mundy an EN-.
poye OF Mr.. Anderson, whO early YESTERDAY
morning, went into the haymow, and whose evi-
dence Is given In full below. The body is decidedly
about thirty-hve years old. He was five feet five
inches high, sandy hair, whiskers thin and APP

son. satchel, containing two coats, three hats
Il, was found beside him. The body was brought
to Long Island City late yesterday afternoon by
Coroner Tewksbury, who VIII resume the inquest
on Monday morning.
The fact that the man had concealed himself in
haymOw so near the scene OF the late murder, ana
that he had such large sum OF money Oh his per-
son and had on pair OF new boots Is most re-
markable How long he had been In the haymow
s difficult to tell, but that he concealed himself
there there can be no doubt.
TWO witnesses were examined by Coroner
Tewksbury yesterday, who testified substantially
as fOOws:-

The bust Of the Princess Of Wales, which has been
exhibited during the past week at Tinany's gallery,
Is presently to be placed in the Senate Chamber at
ottawa. 1t is by that celebrated and industrious
sculptor, Marshall Wood, and the highest compl
ment we are able to pay 1t is to say that 1t makes
us wish there were more Of 1t, and that an entire
statue appealed to instead OF the head alone 1t
is not the less ideal for being portrait The de-
tails Of form are blended together In fine grada-
tons of light and shade, and every essential has
It's proper place and relative Importance. One al
most recognizes herein what, In q painting,
would be called arial perspective. Thus al
unreenting hold Is maintained on the i'm
agination, so that while we know that the
object before us is portrait and therefore copy
rom actual life, so poetic an air Is added that we
hardly persuade ourselves that the theme Is not
purely Ideal. This Is what every good bust really
ought TO be-gving us not mere literal photo
graphic transcript but the very finest translation
OF the head and face. In some busts we are struck
with the characters being immeasurably In ad.
vance Of the Illustration; but In this we see
that the illustration has, II possible, overtaken the
character and advanced 1t. We say II possible, for
the Princess features approach very closely to the
most refined ideal type. Her Royal Hlghness gave
Mr.. marshall Wood several slttngs pretty nearly
Identical In time with those with which she hon.
ored the late John Gibson, and the two busts were
exhiDited SIDE by side IN the post Of honor ct the

Behavior Of the Crowd

LONDON, Feb a. 1878.
Tne sporting world is at length beginning to
arouse itself from the lethargy In which 1t mas peen
sunk for the last three months. The winter mas
BEEN to all who devote their attention TO out-oI-
door pastmes an exceptionally dull one, and
every one is rejoiced at the prospect OF being IN
few weeks fully engaged in the old pursuits. Even
lhe specuation which has during the '1ong vaca-
NOM, taken place on the Two Thousand Guineas
she Derby and our great Spring handicaps has
been exceedingly languid. In the betting market
attention has OF late been given for the most part
70 the Waterloo Coursing Cup the only coursi1g
contest which creates general interest, and the
only one which gives rise to any large amount Of
gambling. In the latter respect it is acquiring more
popularity every year, and now there are few
sporting events which are more largely
Bpeculated on than the Waterloo Cup.
Coursing Is, however, q branch OF sport which ia
FAR less liked, and indeed far less understood than
racing Just about this period every year most
people are talking about it, but doubt If one out
Of every ten men you meet knows how 1t is con-
Quoted, and am certain that there are thousands
who are not even aware that 1t is contest in
which greyhounds and hares are engaged. This
Is all the more singular inasmuch as Great Britain
is the only country in the world where coursing has
ever nourished. Indeed, 1t may be said that here
alone the
GREYHOUND HAS ATTAINED HIS PRESENT FORM,
and the sport has been put under the control OF
set Of carefully prepared rules. 1t is q somewhat
peculiar fact that the English people far less

please US for the moment; but because Nilsson
pleased in this. and Lucca had pleased as Zerlina
In EZRA Diav0lo," 1t was unfair to that the
latter could more than ill the place OF the former.
We make no comparison between the two artists,
for comparison Is not criticism, but we point only
to fact. ''Mignonn creates no enthusiasm in New
York. Rather warm applause Of the terzetto, the
styrenne and the poonaise Is not enthusiasm.
Yet the opera has been sung repeatedly this sea-
son and Is again on the bills for tomorrow even.
ing. Let us see what il offered US. To begin at
the beginning the overture lacks form and CON-
pactness. 1t commences with an andante
which has little meaning and ends with
the polonaise, certainly the gem OF the
opera. The introduction begins with lively
movement and chorus, in which there are
some characteristic strains, and then comes q
vase movement OF very vulgar motives. After
Mignon is asked to dance and refuses, recitative
follows recitative, inadequatey relieved by q short
piece for Guglelmo (Vizzani; trio, between
Filina Miss Kellogg, Gugliemo and Laerto, and
duet between Mignon Mime. Lucca) and Lotario
Jamet). The piece falls nat in the attempt to
produce something sprightly, the trio possesses
no distinct melody and shows only an effort at
something which the composer fails to obtain,
and the duet is simple and very pretty, but so
short that we suffer the tortures Of Tantalus,
dashed away. M Thomas doubtless wishes to mi nj
tate Wagner and his contemporaries but to do this
successfully requires greater mind and more pro-
found knowledge OF musical science than the CON-
poser OF "Mignon" and Hamlet" possesses. The
finale to the first act is acceptable on account OF its
light and airy character, being natural and not
forced or strained, proof to our mind that NJ.
Thomas ought not to forget that he is a Frenchman,
and that he should connne himself to the free and
dashing fcnd school. The rectative continues to
deaden the opera to the end but the other acts
have some meritorious points which are lacking in
the first, as the terzetto, the styrienne
and the pOOnaise, the last especially being
very dashing In its rhythm and only marred
by too manifest desire to be as effective and
novel as possible. The prayer near the end is very
refreshing on account OF Its simplicity, but even
where the numbers are most effective 1t is always
evident that the composer wishes to excel In new
inventions In harmony as well as in melody Only
under unusual circumstances, with company pc
cuarly fitted to the parts, can the opera prove
anything but q dull and weary performance Mr.
Maretzek can give us something better-something
more suitable to his singers and more acceptable
to his patrons, and we entreat him to do it, not
forgetting that "Mgnon" Afforded one gratilca
ton--the singing Of mis- best artiets on the same
evening.
