A LOST SECRET DISCOVERED. An inter
estng fact concerning art has just been brought
under my notice, says London correspondent,
and its unique character is sufficient excuse
for public attention being directed to it. What
| refer to is the discovery of the LOST secret 10
the art of graduated gold work, as practiced
by the E;ruscaus and Greeks. This secret has
hitherto defed all tie efforts of our best Eng
lish and Continental professional experts even
the Castellanis, of Rome, 10 whose family the
subject has been made study for generations,
found the problem too difficult to solve. The
finest imitations-were found to be coarse and
clumsy efforts compared with the originals.
1t was not till an Italian artist many years ago
found 10 the district of the Appeninesa special
school Of the traditional jewellery, similar in
workmanship to the ancient art, that the first
successful attempt, so to speak, Was made.
Admittedly, however, even the very best re-
productions OF this particular kind of art we're
but sad failures after all. When it was con-
sidered impossible TO discover the method em
ployed by the ancients, it remained for an lta-
liam of London to succeed 10 solving the Vexed
question, which he did some time ago, after
Immense labor and patience, and his reproduc-
ton since then of Etruscan and Greek jewelry
are beyond allquestion exceedingly meritorious.
Since his discovery, be has produced consid-
erabie number OF specimens of necklaces,
bracelets, &c, which, 10 the opinion OF experts,
rival in beauty the fuest Greek specimens in
the British Museum collection, while the work
mapship is eqnal to the best Etruscan. His
success is so great in this exceedingly difiult
aud delicate branch of ancient art that it is
quite impossible to detect a shade Of difference
when his works are compared with the origi-
mails; and indeed, 10 some respects strange to
say, he was actually improved on the original.
ANOTHER CHURCH. Two Catholic priests,
Rev. Messsrs. U Kane aud Siberian, of Alex
andra, were in Manassas on Monday last look
ing for proper location to build church. A
gentleman who lives adjoining the corporation
limits, We learn, has proposed TO donate a lot
upon which to build church, but we did not
learn what was the result of the visit Of the
gentlemen. but understand that church will
undoubtedly be built. --NinassuS Guzette.

TIE FIRST DISTRICT.

The first Vermont district has had the
good fortune to be represented in Congress
for six years by Charles w Willard There
tal, able, successful congressman-a credit
to his constituents and to the state. More
than this He has shown himself genuine
reformer, has displayed a rare quality of
moral courage. and has attracted thereby
the notice Of the country. Probably it
has notyet been forgotten by the people
certainly it has not at the White House
that he was the first republican
congressman who said ''out loud" what
scores of them were ready enough to say
in private conversation about Gen. Grants
part in the salary garb. But they have
custom up north Of rotating their congress
men out at the end of the sixth year, at
tarthest, and we see that the Rutland pa
pers are impressed with the ''claims" of
Col. Charles IL. Joyce, who was originally
poor boy, who helped put down the re-
bellion, and who appears to fine advantage
on the stump. -SprinQt'dd Republican.
