Cllelnry of a Piece of Art Mora Tawaaas Than the Feachblow. In eermin way every body knows ibnuf the rtland vase, end yet ths oilier day I stun bled on au interesting fuel concerning it, little known 0.

At ils sale the little peachblow viiRO Mary me Mirgan wet t'oi cud to leave behind liar did not creme half nor quarter of theienaetion in A nenca as did that of the Portland vase in Europe iw yon can find the the British Museum. Itb kejit in a transparent caee in a email ante-room devoted to an unequaled collection of cameos, Intaglios aed the mir of Roman Etruscan ami Grecian work in gold. The atmoe-phere is a fit one for Jhi gem in glees, found, in a marble tomb, near Rome, four hundred yean age, and for nearly three centuries treaeured In the famous palace of B.irberinL The vase stands only tea Inehei high. Jis shape is the perfection ol symmetry broad at the tenter and diminishing gradually at the We, but to a more marked degree at tlie neck, and finally expanding there with a flower-like enrve, the eurve repeated again in the two handles.

Th substance is of a rich but Intensely deep blue, throwing into abso-lire relief classical and exquisito figures in op'iquo white glass. A micro-aeope fails to detect a flaw la tho out-ling of these groups, supposed to rp-resqnt the meeting of Thetis and Po-1 on Mount Tliel'on in the presence of Poissidon and Eroa On the Lo tom of the vase is its most remarkable piece of cutting, a bust of Atye. The English chapter in the history of tlie vase began in 1770, when Mr. Jl.scr, the antiquarian, succeeded in purchasing it. He in turn sold it to William Hamilton, who, nnfortu-pate in china as in matrimony, gave i to the ke of Portland for 1.800 guineas, or about 9 000.

Id the eours of lime a sale of the Portland property. Including tl a precious ornament, was held. The Duchess of Portland, a proud and impirious woman, wh present for the purpose ef buying ie tho vase. To her horror and disgast she found a competitor for its purchase in the little, lame, pock-marked ehine manufacturer. Josiah Wedgwood.

Te tho Dm hess this was intolerable, and she began the bidding in a spirited manner, determined to speedily put down the son of a common StaATorA shire poiter. Wpdgwood, however, was deter, mined as the Duchess to heeome the owner of the vase, and had a higher motive than family pride at the bottom of liis deBire. The bids rapidly ran np. and a chill of fear seiasd tki Duchess as they mounted, forherpnrei had its limits, and at last, in angel and despair, she made hor final offer, was ontbid, and rushed from the room. Ip a few moments a meivage wa brought to Mr.

Wedgwood to the effeei that her Grace wihcd to speak witl lilm in private. What passed at thi interview no one ever knew with exactness, but it it presumed that a woman in tears iff cted what a Dueheei in anger could not and wea from the gentle Instincts of the workman's son what the great and ambition! art manufactm er never would bav conceded. At eny rate, the Duchess kept the vase, and Josinh Wedgwood reserved tho sole right, for himself and heirs to reproduce fifty copies of it every one hundred years. In 1810 the ke of Portland, who justly felt that this famous work of art should no longer be kept for tho satis-f ictlun of the few, placed it 1 1 the British Museum, where It at onee brought a visit from the art-lovers of the world. Until 1815 it remained peilect as when plucked from the grave four centuries before, but at this time a drunken mechanic, who la some way got into the sacred ante-room, smashed it with a stone into a thousand pieces.

The bits were afterward and with Infinite skill cemented by an exort in such a wav that the seams can scarcely bo observe 1, while ths shape is preserved. Aeudee Letter. East Shsbidan.
