NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, MARCH 9, 1873—QUADRUPLE SHEET. COURSING IN ENGLAND. The Great Waterloo Cours- ing Cup. Origin of Coursing and of the Greyhound—Phy- sical Peculiarities of the Dog—Features of the Sport—The Waterloo Contest—Mu- riel Wins the Cup—Enthusiasm of the Scotchmen—Disgracefal Behavior of the Crowd. Lonpon, Feb. 22, 1878. ‘The sporting werld is at length beginning to Brouse itself from the lethargy in which it has been wank for the last three months. The Winter has been, to all who devote their attention to out-of- door pastimes, an exceptionally dull one, and every one is rejoiced at the prospect of being in a few weeks fully engaged in the old pursuits. Even the speculation which has during the “ong vaca- ton” taken place on the Two Thousand Guineas, the Derby and our great Spring handicaps has been exceedingly languid. In the betting market Sftention has of late been given for the most part to the Waterloo Coursing Cup, the only coursing contest which creates a general interest, and the only one whicn gives rise to any large amount of gambling. In the latter respect it is acquiring more popularity every year, and now there are few pporting events which are more largely Bpeculated on than the Waterloo Cup. Coursing 1s, however, a branch of sport which is far less liked, and indeed far leas understood than racing. Just about this period every year most people are talking about it, but I doubt if one out of every ten men you meet knows how it is con- aucted, and I am certain that there are thousands who are not even aware that itisa contest in which greyhounds and hares are engaged. This isall the more singular inasmuch as Great Britain ts the only country in the world where coursing has ever flourished. Indeed, it may be said that here alone the GREYHOUND HAS ATTAINED HIS PRESENT FORM, and the sport has been put under the control ofa set of carefully prepared rules. It isa somewhat peculiar fact that the English people are far less Interested in and acquainted with the matter‘than the Scotch, and it may be seen frem a comparison of the results of the Waterloo Cup and the other prizes associated with it that, taking into account the respective populations of the three kingdoms, Beotland and Ireland have always played a far more prominent part than Engiand. In Scotland, where even up to the present day racing pas only fa tanguid and fartive existence, coursing is carried om With the greatest ardor, and many of the most celebrated masters of the art and some of the finest greyhounds ever produced hail from the northern part of this island, The literature of the sport is wonderfully interesting, but as a rule the writers who disc uss its origin leave us pretty much where we were. Still, we do not and the CLASSIC AUTHORS SILENT ON THE SUBJECT. At a remote periodin the literature of Greece ‘and Rome references can be met with to the pur- suit of wild animals by dogs, who kept them in sight, and, without the use of scent, captured them by speed. At a later period the descendants of ese hounds are described as being engaged in the chase and destruction of hare. Arrian is one of the yer, reatest authorities on coursing and Ovid, Ma) Oppian and others mention it inci- dentally. It disappeared along with many matters of far greater importance during the Dark Ages; pat, on the revivalof learning, we find many writers ‘Riker, Aad it with therough knowledge— ‘among them Comte de Foix, the Duke of York, Tuberville, the Gascoigne and manymore. The ORIGIN OF THE GREYHOUND is shrouded in Cede and all the discussions and quarrels of cour ng pundits only serve tu make darkness visible. Even the derivation of the word has been for ages-a subject of hot dis- ite, and men eras ice it keonly to the present . Whether the pane of the present breed were Greck er Celtic, and whether the word can be traced back to the Saxon “grig”—akin to hare—er to “grey,” the early designation of the badger, or to “gre,” signifying rank, we know not; nor, indeed, does the modern courser trouvle himself much. He is vastly more interested in the fection of the anim: form, and that is, un- loubtedly, due to natural, and, in a far greater degree, artificial selectio: The authorities differ on points of detail in describing the model greyhound, but as to the general features there oan be but little doubt. e production of this class of animals has'been brought te its HIGHEST PITCH IN GREAT BRITAIN, where a large amount of capital, enterprise and knowledge are always brought to bear on the breed- ing of this peculiar class of hounds, the best of which an always command ii prices, The head should be extremely elongated, with small and soft ears; the neck long, round and flexible, te enable him to lift the hare without risk of falling; the eyes round, Tull and clear; the ehest sufficiently broad to effer ‘ample attachment to the muscles of the limbs and the respiratory muscles, without adding unneces- sary weight, or unnecessary surface to resist the air; the shoulders Kore he deity and light; the Jegs well set on, straight and bony, and resting on “reund and cat-like feet; the back strong and Jong, if strength is in proportion; the skin deli- cately soft and fine; the color not a matter of im- portance; the tail long and tapering, ‘‘to assist generally in the prepuisatory efforts, and more geeeooy in the turnings and wrenchings.” e RULES OF COURSING ‘were finally settled by the National Coursing Clup, ‘which was founded in 1858; but by that time every little club all over the country had its own, a state of matters which led to endless disputes, In the decision of a course the whole responsibility rests on the shoulders of the judge, who rides atter the dogs to see what they de. He estimates the value of the work done by each greyhound, and gives the superiority to that which does most towards kill- ing the hare, his estimate being formed on a bal- ance of points on a scale carefully drawn up. Two Gogs onty are started after each hare, and the latter is allowed, as a rule, four or five score yards “law,” or start, according to the nature of the ground. The hounds are distinguished trom each Other by collars of different colers, in order that the judge may have no difficulty in making them out. They sre placed in the hands of the slipper, who has them in a cated system of belts called the slips, one end of which he holds in his han until the judge cries “Go!” when he instant! frees the hounds by a simple contrivance, of whic! there are various forms. The field is generally rovided with “beaters,” who work away with heir sticks and “seho” until a hare is started. ‘The dogs look towards the point whence the noise oceeds, and the slipper running forward with m when “puss” gets they are loosed as soon as he finds them bearing against the collar, and away they ge with their tremendous strides after the poor little animal, which cries like a child ‘when it is caught by the long mose and turned up, Coursing is furnished with a VERY PECULIAR TERMINOLOGY, the movements of the dogs being described by Various terms and being assigned a certain vary- ing number of points each, the sum of the points oe which of the two greyhounds has the best of the course. Speed is a great criterion of merit, but is differently reckoned according as a gains a clear lead of fifteen lengths, or gains the lead in running the outer circie, or outstrips his fellow after hanging in the slips or starting slow. The “turn” is where the hare is ught round at an angle of forty-five degrees from her previous line, and it both dogs start equally, and that which made the turn outruns his ©pponent, that is called a “cote.” If a hound starts @ clear length behind the other, and yet passes him a length in the straight run, he is gaid to give him a “go-by.” The mere bending of @ hare from her line is called a “wrench.” e value of the “kill” all depends on the style in which it is achieved—whether the dog, by his own superior dash and skill, bears the hare; whether he picks ner up through any little accidental circum- stance favoring him, or whether ahe is actually turned inte his mouth, as it were, by the other yhound. Itis on the sum of number of points allowed each Ug kode os for ail er some of these evolutions that the judge strikes a balance and gives his decision, and it may be seen that his office is far from being a light or irresponsible one. GREAT WATERLOO MEETING is held on the plains of Altcar, about twelve miles from Liverpool, and has occupied the past three days. The sixty-four gentlemen forming the Na- tional Coursing Club (ten of whom retire by ballet annually) Lave the right of nominating each a dog, and, of course, may run his own or @ friend’s, ‘There is always Freat uncertainty as to the exact animals tiat will take part im the conte: close upon the time, though in many possible to make a shrewd guess from “previous orm.” The meeting commences always on Wed- Resday, but on the previous night a banquet is held atthe Adelphi Hotel, in Liverpool, at which the dogs are drawn, by lots, into thirty-two couples. an part of the business is always watched with ¢ utmost anxiety 7 owners and speculators, be- cause if @ favorite is drawn against another favor- ite one of them must beaten and retire from the contest, whereas if he is drawn against £ inferior dog he is almost certain to win his first eat, though that is far from following always. Alter the draw on this occasion, Peasant who yan ind last year, being beaten by Bed of Stone, ‘wos at the head of the quotations on the “len; @dda betting”’—that is, the tting on the chance 0! getting salely through ali the contests and winning he Cup, while Bed of Stone was oni fourth in memand, At the same times Jarge amount of compli- speculation taxes on inatviaual courses—that 1s, on dog against of the various pairs. The Meeting was favored this year witb exceptionally fine weather, and thor COURSING IS A VERY ARDUOUS SPORT wagon orem age autendands; shout je tra by , There is a great deal of moving about owing to the using up in & short time of hares in each selected; there. is much scrambling over ditches and fences; there @ good deal of standing about up to the boot-tons in bogs. To the uninitiated the sport very soon becomes tiresome, and the most ardent run @ considerable risk of catching rheu- matism, or ague, or bronchitis. Nevertheless tne attendance appears to increase every year, and the excitement on this occasion, particularly towards the close of the three days’ centest, was wonder- ful. On the firat day (Wednesday) there were two rounds—that is to Lg in the first, thirty-two pairs of dogs competed thirty-two dogs were left in; in the second, these thirty-two ran in sixteen eouples, and sixteen ef them were leit in, the prin- ba: in the second round being that the first pair seit in of the first round form one couple, the next Pair another and so on. The lot in the third round, Tun on Thursday, included some animals that ap- ared to have Very remote prospects before be in at all, such as Madeline, British Hero an Honor Bright, whe on Tuesday night were quote: at 66 to1, Cymbal and Dreaded. Falcon and Murlel at 50 to 1, Grig 125 to 1, and others. The defeated ones in this round were Grig, British Hero, Dreaded Falcon, Amethyst, Chameleon (who began at 16 to 1), Honor Bright, Magnano and Minute Gunie. The result of the fourth reund, also decided on Tearaday, was as follows :—Madeline beat Royal- ist, Peasant’ or peat Cymbal, Muriel beat Croesus, Magenta vent Satire, and at the close of the fifth, Ww - EXCITEMENT BECAME TREMENDOCR =m. was | cl Boy beat Madeline, Muriel beat hen the final tussle was about to take place the crowd became so impatient that they broke. over the running ground and compeliea the judge and slipper to take the dogs to another spot, and even then it was a long time be- fore they could be got em, At Jengeh the pair were Started, odds of to 2 ing laid on Peasant Boy; but as soon as slipped Muriel shot to the front and secured the first turn py about a length. The general astonish- ment was unbounded when it was seen that “The Boy” could do nothing with her, and, finally, the bitch came round on the outside and drove the hare into aditch, The last part of the course could, however, be seen by only a few, owing to the crowd, which again broke in and materially inter- fered with the running. The UNFORTUNATE PEASANT BOY eatly dispusted his backers, who could not forget hat ke similarly ina poole them last apen when he was beaten by Bed of Stone. Muriel is a Scotch ‘animel, and it is unnecessary to say that the en- thusiasm of the division from that country was un- bounded. She belongs to Mr. Jardine, P., one of our oldest coursers, and the owner of (among other ragehorses) Pretender, who wen the Derby. THE PRIVATEER CHICKAMAUGA. Departure of the Ex-Cemfederate Priva- teer To-Day for Havana—Her New Employment a Spanish Gunboat— What She Carries—The Gun Carriages om Deck—The Names of the United States Merchant Vessels the Chicka- mauga Has Destroyed—Her Wonderful Speed. Yesterday afterneon, in consequence of a report that the Spanish gunboat Chickamauga, now lying at the shipbuilding yard of Messrs. Delamater & Co., was about to proceed to sea, after having been equipped for a gunboat for service in Cuban waters, & reporter was sent up to the yard in ques- tion, at Thirteenth street and North River, to verify the truth of the rumor, and ‘subsequently learned that she had been cleared ‘at the Custom House and was ‘to sail this morning at nine o’clock if possible. She is commanded vy Captain Curtis, former commander of the Atlantic Mail steamer Morro Castle; her first officer is Mr. Charles W. Adams, formerly of the Havana steamers Columbia and Crescent City, and her second officer is Mr. John Broad, also from the Columbia. In addition to this she takes out SEVERAL SPANISH OFFICERS from the iron clad Saragossa and ten sailors and coal passers, also frem the same vessel, who came ‘on here about ten days ago from Havana. The Spanish naval agent in this city, whose office is at 42 Broadway, has informed the maval officers en board that their duties will not commence until the vessel arrives at Havana, bat that tue sailors and ceal passers will have to work under the or- ders of the American captain, officers, engineers and four quartermasters, who are responsible for her safe delivery to the autherities at Havana. HER NAVAL ARMAMENT. Upon the Chickamauga’s deck are two ponderous iron gun carriages, one placed ferward for a 100-pound Parrot gun, and the other one, which is adapted for a pivot, is placed amidships. Her of- ficers’ quarters are handsemely fitted up, particu- larly the ward room; but up to a late hour last night her decks were crowded with painters, glaziers, riggers, carpenters, &¢., who were appar- ently working against time to get threugh their allotted tasks. It is reported that she has A LARGE QUANTITY OF SHOT ON BOARD, which is called “‘stores,” in addition to the im- mense stock of beef, pork, rice, beans and other provisions with which she is laden, and on her deek she is to take twenty-five tons of ¢oal '), ad- dition to the large stock already shipped ‘+, is computed that she will carry a total of eignty tea hundred officers and crew when she commences her task of patrolling the island of Cuba in quest of liberating expeditions. It is believed on the best authorit; found to contain, when the vessel arrives at Ha- vana, a large amount of ammupition and the can- nong for the gun carriages. DIMENSIONS OF THE CHICKAMAUGA, &C, This vessel was built at London, in 1864, for a blockade runner, and was constructed to run thir- teen knots with ten (eae steam pressure, which she has frequently done. Her name at launching was the Edith, but it was subsequently changed to the Chickamauga after she became a Confederate privateer. The following is a list of damage inflicted by her upon our shipping, and for which the undergoing requisition has been made, in company with the Alabama claims, upon the British government :— ‘burned... Mark L. Potter, bark, of Bangor, Otter Rock, schooner, of Castine, Me, Shooting Star, ship, of this city, laden, captured and burned... GWA iis vesesstriveurissoees ese tooo “ The Chickamauga is 185 feet long, 25 feet beam and 15 feet depth of hold, and is of 600 tons burden, She has four double ap inck oc to each shaft, and four cylinders, 34 by 28 inch stroke; two boilers with four furnaces each. She has wire ngging and 1s schooner-rigged, with new masts and sails. She is a twin screw, and is considered on all hands one of the swiftest steam- ers which ever entered this port, having done ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SIXTREN KNOTS AN HOUR with steam and sail. Yesterday she received her bunting on board, including, among other flags, the Stars and Stripes, but as soon as she leaves Mr. Delamater’s yard she will fly the Spanish ensign at her mizzen. The boy engineers in charge of the flotilla feet of thirty gunboats, which were built by, Mr. Delamater three years and sent out to Cuba, have a knack of burnin, s in the boilers of their vessels, and it is cor ly hoped by the friends of free Ouba in city that the same fate attend the Chickamauga, or whatever her mame may be when she is rechristened in Havana. It is expected that she will be in Havana in eighty- jour hours aiter leaving this port. 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. Tne lecturer illustrated his subject by views from the magic lantern, representing canyons, mountains, 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 Molen. the of that Vg ed of the Continent, an phically traced the line of the gold formations, fie'course of canyons, mountains and streams, reviewing the modes of working the gold fields in the early days of the excitement, as well as now, when the hyiraulic process has replaced the pick and pan, Tic lecture wi highly interesting to the student of geological formations, and was rendered doubly se by the spirited scenes ex- hibited upon the canvas.

When Miss Ethel returns to the Union Square Theatre she will appear in ‘*Frou;Frou.”” Mr. Lester Watlack is to play an engagement at Mrs. Conway’s Brooklyn Theatre, beginning on Monday, the 24th. The rumor that Mr. Augustin Daly would under- take the management of the Union Square Theatre next season was without foundation. Miss Kellogg has received @ cable despatch from Mapleson, the manager of Her Majesty’s Opera, offering her a liberal engagement for the Summer at Drury Lane, She will appear there towards the end of the season. Mr. W. J. Florence finishes his engagement at Booth’s this week, and then comes Mr. Boucicault, with his new play, ‘Daddy O'Dowd.” Mr, Bouci- cault ought to make that promised speech on the press when he returns. This is the last week of ‘‘Alixe’ at tne Fifth Avenue Theatre, “False Shame” being announced for reproduction on the 18th inst. The play, it will be remembered, was interrupted by the fire on New Year’s Day. Singularly enough it is the only English comedy of the year which has been pro- duced in this city, ea The annual bereft of the French Benevolent Society sakes place at the Academy of Musts on the 20th, “Martha” will be sung, with Miss Kellogg and Sefiora Sanz in the cast, and this will be fol- lowed by the French comic opera, “Le Chalet,” with Mme. Levielli, M. Jamet and others. The entertainment cannot fail to attract, apart from its benevolent purpose, “Leo and Lotos”’ at Niblo’s is to be reconstructed, We are not sure if we are still to delight in the Child Americus and the trained dogs, but are con- soled by the announcement that the Man Ape is to appear. At present Niblo’s and the Olympic havea monopoly of the “show business.” It is a vitlated public taste which requires these things in a theatre of the resources of the one or while Fox is in himself whole budget of fun at the other, Sardou’s “Uncie Sam,” which 1s to be produced at the Grand Opera Heuse next week, is the sub- ject of a good deal of gossip in social circles. Many persons are anxious to see the play merely because the French government would not permit its per. formance in Paris, fearing that it would prove offensive to America. From ali that we hear of it, the political significance ‘it might have had was the impelling motive with the French authorities, supposed, American vices being held up by the dramatist to weaken the Republic, Misa Charlotte Cushman ig to read at Stemway Hall next week, beginning with “King Henry VIII.,” on Monday evening, the 17th. On Friday evening she reads ‘Macbeth,’ and on Wednesday evening gives a miscellaneous programme, including two apposite love stories, selections from ‘Romeo and Juliet” and ‘Betsy and I are Vut.’? Miss Cushman has been so tong the great actress of the American stage, and has so many warm friends ahd sincere admirers in this city, that we cannot doubt she will fill the house every time she appears. The advent of that great dramatic artist Buffalo Bil at Niblo’s is an event that is expected with breathless interest. It must be understood that the coming Buffalo Bill is no counterfeit present- ment, but the ‘old original Dr. Jacob Townsend.’’* He comes to us rich in experience to show us @ genuine scout of the prairies, and make us regret that we never madehis acquaintance before. We saw Jem Mace as Charles the Wrestler, and wept. We cannot predict what will happen when we see that some of the “stores” will be | Bison William. The production of Olive Logan’s new play, “A Business Woman,” at the Union Square Theatre, has been postpened till Thursday evening. The play is a society comedy-drama in five acts, the scene being laid in New York and vicinity. The design of the piece is understood to be an attempt to illustrate in the ‘Business Woman” the highest type of an American woman who unites education and refinement with the shrewd business qualifica- tions which are supposed to be American character- istics. The kind of creation which is apt to spring from a design so business-like is one which will hardly fill the requirements for the American comedy; but this does not preve that Miss Logan has not written avery good play. The parts'were designed for the actors who are to play them, and the piece will be cast with the full strength of the company. At the end of the first act of “No Thoroughfare,” Booth’s, the sympathies of the audience are en-” tirely with Obenreizer. There stands the carriage in which he is supposed to have come, and in which itis supposed he will depert, but it has only two seats and two persons already occupy them. Is he to siton the box with the driver? Is he to hang on behind, like a street Arab, stealing aride? Is he to stand up inside like the strong-legged wretches who stand up in the Broadway sages ? Is he to sit on the floor? If none of these hy- potheses should prove true, it is plain that he must walk unless, indeed, he has a veloci- pede hidden away somewhere on which he fol- a0 after the carriage. Evidently he has not beetr'provided with a velocipede. This thing is unfair to Obenreizer; and we beg the manage- ment, with tears in our eyes, to instruct the property*man to procure the velocipede at once and place if, on the top of the carriage, that the audience may see that he is not compelled to adopt any of the expedients involving so much sacrifice on his part. We have no doubt Mr. Florence will unite with us in this petition fora velocipede for Obenreizer. Opera in New York is always characterized by mismanagement of some kind. This season the weakness of the company has been the cause of chronic dissatisfaction, and added to it was a badly chosen répertoire. A favorite artist in “Mignon,” as Nilsson was, and especially when M. Ambroise Thomas’ music was an unknown quantity on this side of the Atlantic, was something which might please us for the moment; but because Nilsson Pleased in this, and Lucca had pleased as Zerlina in “Fra Diavolo,” it was unfair to assume that the latter could more than fill the place of the former. We make no comparison between the two artists, for comparison is not criticism, but we point only toa fact. ‘Mignon’ creates no enthusiasm in New York, Rather warm applause of the terzetto, the styrienne and the polonaise is not enthusiasm. Yet the opera has been sung repeatedly this sea- son and is again on the bills for to-morrow even- ing. Let us see what is offered us. To begin at the beginning the overture lacks form and com- pactness. It commences with an andante which has little meaning and ends with the polonaise, certainly the gem of the opera, The introduction begins with a lively movement and chorus, in whieh there 41 some characteristic strains, and then comes & vaise movement, of very vulgar motives, Alter Mignon is asked to dance and refuses, recitative follows recitative, inadequately relieved by a short piece for Guglielmo (Vizzani); a trio, between Filina (Miss Kellogg), Guglielmo and Laerto, and a duet between Mignon (Mme. Lucca) amd Lotario (Jamet). The piece falls flat in the attempt to produce something sprightly, the trio possesses no distinct melody and shows only an effort at somethii which the composer is to obtain, and the duet is simple and very pretty, but 60 short that we suffer the tortures of Tantalus, the cup being held to our lips only to be dashed away. M. Thomas doubtless wishes to imi- er and his contemporaries, but to do this requires a greater mind and more pro- found knowledge of musical science than the com- cS of “Mignon” and “Hamlet” possesses, The inale to the first act is acceptable on account of its light and airy character, being natural and not forced or strained, a proof to our mind that M. Thomas ought not to forget that heisa Frenchman, and that he should confine himself to the free and dashing fiend school. The recitative continues to deaden the opera to the end; but the other acts have some meritorious points which are Jacking in the first, as the terzetto, the styrienne and the polonaise, 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 reireshing on account of its segcity buteven where the numbers are most effective it is always evident that the composer wishes to excei in new inventiens in harmony as well as in melody. Only under unusual circumstances, with a company pe- culiarly fitted to the parts, can the opera prove anything but a dull and weary Bomanee, Mr. Maretzek can give us something better—something more ble to his singers and more acceptable to his patrons, and we entreat him to do it, not forgetting that “Mignon” afforded one gratifica- tion—the singivg of his best artigiaon the same evenings ART MATTERS. - The Leavitt Art Rooms Last Night—Pri- vate View of the Beaumont Pictures. From two o’clock yesterday afternoon until ten im the evening a private view was given, at the Leavitt Art Gallery, of Mr. J. P. Beaumont’s pic- tures. Reference to these and to the circum- stances under which they were collected was made last Saturday. Mr. Beaumont is a connoisseur, not adabbier, and bears something of the same relation to the ordinary picture dealer that he who paints con amore does to the fribbling dtUetante. A year ago he went to Ems and Kissingen to drink the waters, But the Pierian spring proved more attractive, and, going for health, he remained for art, While invalids, who knew nothing and cared less for esthetics, impregnated them- selves with minerals, Mr. Beaumont enriched himself with the finest inspirations that he could find expressed in the principal studios of Paris, London and Vienna. He took with him a quenchless appetite for good pictures and drank at the fountain of art as insatiably as Baron Mun- chansen’s horse. The result is the present collec- tion of 181 paintings. To say that there is not a mediocre one among them is to say little. The gathering is the most valuable that the owner has ever shown, and the significance of this fact will be felt when it is borng tf “mind that Mr. Beaumont has h6on WiteFésted in pictures for nearly half 9 century. We can do little more this morning than reca- pitulate what we said one week ago. At that time the pictures had not been conveyed to their pres- ent locality, and our judgment, such as it was, was not made under the most favorable circumstances. The collection now fills the two rooms of the Leavitt Gallery, and was seen yesterday for eight pleasant hours, amid the twittering of caged cana- ries, the perfume of choicely disposed exotics and the graceful chatter of ladies, artists, connolaseurs and critics. Seven hundred in- vitations had heen issued, and insured a constant stream of guests from two to ten, The wholesome balminess of Spring seemed to give a fresh sparkle to admiration, and almost as many good things Were said as adorned the walla, With that charming audacity which is compla- cently conscious of its own strength Mr. Bean. mont, aided and abetted by the Leavitt. Brothers, has placed Ne. 1 on the catalogue “The Favorites,” by Joseph Caraud. Tiiis is esteemed by many the chef dure of the artist. The subject is a beauti- ful young girl, dressed in pink satin, caressing one of her dumb pets, while the other waits fondly and patiently at her feet. The young girl’s face wears that look of gentle commiseration which makes itself felt in the fondling of dumb favorites. The painting of the dress is well-nigh miraculous. One almost feels the sense of touch jealous within him ') in anxiety to compete with the eyes in examining the fineness and softness of the fabric and its glossy cohesion. The stiff texture, the brilliant ‘wrinkles, the glittering folds and falls and the smooth, warm, adhesive nap are reproduced with a startling truthfulness that leaves nothing to be desired. This picture and Meyer Von Bremen’s “Reading the Bible” will probabiy be Ln the gems of the collection. ‘Reading the Bible” is enchanting in a far different style. A little rustic sits reading the Scriptures to his mother. This is the whole story; butitis so artlessly, so touchingly and so ae: told that we wonder not that longer and more reverent pauses have been made in front of this picture than before any other in the rooms. Reverence for what she accepts as ‘inspiration blends in the mother’s face with love and admira- tion for her boy—such love and admiration as only mother can feel and only one’s own flesh and blood can give birth to. The boy’s face is that of a sone country lad, slightly idealized, perhaps; art- less and eager rather than beautiful, holy with the innocence which renders every child a virgin and fresh and sweet, not less with the pure air of a bounty: home than with the spiritual atmos- phere his mother’s teachings had girt him with. A picture like this is an idyl of home, a madrigal of the fireside. It derives no mere glamour from the name of the artist, It has no fictitious value. It belongs to that small class of sterling compositions in which an idea that is simplicity itself is worked out with all the gweetness and power it will pos- sibly admit of. Zuber Buhler’s “Morning” is a fas- cinating eukanncn of day-dawn Uke wastes A girl, unfinished in toilet, leans from the balcony and gazes upon the early landscape. Her eyes take in wood and water, firmament and field; but is watching wh emotions usness, like Narcissus in the brook, and the dewy coolness of the landscape is in contrast with the emotional fire er bosom. “Morning Salutations,” by Comte Calix, is pos- sessed ef a certain graciousness that is not easily described. Two young ladies belonging to the upper ranks of life encounter in their morning walk in the country a Sister of Mercy. They make her a low and reverential salutation, to which she characteristically responds with a reserve that, while somewhat stiff, is too gentie to be austere, too serious and unaffected to be ungainly. The bloom and brightness of the morning scene and of the two reverential young girls serve to emphasize the air of conscientious pensivene’s worn by the Sister of Mercy. We have mentioned but four pictures and have made only an introduction, expecting to return to the theme and leiqyrely to make note of all the most worthy.

It is by that celebrated and industrious sculptor, Marshall Wood, and the highest compli- ment we are able to pay it is to say that it makes us wish there were more of it, and that an entire statue appealed to us instead of the head alone. It is not the less ideal for being a portrait. The de- tails of form are blended together in fine grada- tions of light and shade, and every essential has its proper place and relative importance. One ul- most recognizes herein what, in a painting, would be called «rial perspective. has Ga unrelenting hold is maintained on tle im- agiaation, so that while we know that the objoct before us is a portrait, and therefore a copy from 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—giving us not a mere literal photo- graphic transcript, but_ the very finest translation of the head and Tube. In some busts we are struck with the characters being immeasurably in ad: that the tiastration has. if possbler overtaken tee ration has, overtaken the character and advanced it. We say if ible, for beat Lf no eer a] h bacghs losely to the m ideal type. Her Royal Highness gave Mr. Marshall Wood several sittings pre yy nearly identical in time with those with which she hon- ored the late John Gibson, and the two busts were exhibited side by side in the post of honor at the 7 Royal Academy. It is not improbable that miration evoked by this ‘conse. Macatee will inspire more than one fair American woman with the d see her features reflected in marble. Portrait painting is all very well; but there 13 a parity, a chastity, and we might aimost say an eternity, about a finely executed marble bust, which appeal to all whose selt!-!ove prompts them to have their features thus commemorated, and who possess the means requisite to put their Wishes into achievement. THE LITTLE NECK MURDER. BA RET Graham’s Murderer Undoubtedly Found— Remarkable Circumstantial Evidence— The Body of an Unknown Man Found in a Haymow—Seventy-four Dollarsand a Pair of New Boots Found on Him. The body of an unknown man was found in a hay- mow, near Newtown, Long Island, yesterday, and the evidence thus far adduced goes to show almost conclusively that the man was the murderer of the late James Graham, of Little Neck. He had secreted Nimself here, and had died from cold and hunger, The barn 1s the property ofa Mr. Anderson, residing near the raiiroad bridge at Newtown. The dis- covery was first made by Peter Mundy, an em- Ployé of Mr. Anderson, who, early yesterda’ morning, went into the haymow, and whose evi- dence is given in full below. ‘The bedy is decidedly German in appearance, and looks to have been about thirty-five years old, He was five feet five inches high, sandy hair, whiskers thin and ap- peared trowderat weeks’ growth; had on two paira of teowdsers, the top pair bee light caasi- inere, Woollen jacket, blue checked wool under- shirt, white top shirt and a heavy No. 9 pair of new boots, his trowsers beinginside of them. The boots appeared to be two sizes too large. Seventy-four dollars and some odd cents were oundupon his per- son, A satchel, containing two coats, three hats and @ shirt that looked as if blood had been upon is, was found beside him. The body was brought to Long Island City late yesterday afternoon by Coronsr Tewksbury, who will resume the inquest on Monday morning. ‘The fact that the man had concealed himself in a haymow so near the scene of the late murder, and vhat he had such a large sum of money on his per- son and had on a pair of new boots is most re- markable. How long he had been in the haymow is 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 follows :— PETER MUNDY’S TESTIMONY. Llive in the town of Newtown; I saw the man’s hand this merning, the 8th inst., about nine or ten orslonk, BR the haymow, in the barn (Mr. I. Gray's), occupied by Mr. Anderson, near the bridge; I saw a hat and a man’s hand; then! went away and told Mr. Patrick McKennah; [ never was in this haymow before; I do not know how long the hay has been there, JACOB HOFFMANN’S TESTIMONY. I drive for Mr. Anderson; I saw the deceased about nine or ten o’clock this morning; he was lying in the hayloft occupied by Mr. Anderson; when I saw him he was dead; I put the hay Mm the loft last Summer. — ++ MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
