The Beautiful Baroness Lost RinG-Its
Discovery by n Dream.
A Paris correspondent writes to the New
York Eveaing Post:
Paris, so prosaically materialist, is also al.
ways enchanted with any thing in the shape
of a mystery, and stories of ghosts, fortune
telling and clairvoyance are its special de-
light. The newest "fact" in this line is the
adventure which has just happened to the
beautiful Baroness, Alphoase de Rothschild
1.-THE only pretty woman of the name), dpro-
pos Of . magnificent diamond ring. The
Baroness was one of hunting-party COM
posed entirely of persons belonging to the
Rothschild family, assembled, a week or two
ago, at the Chateau de Ferrieres. While
following the hounds with the rest of the
party the young Baroness drew off her glove,
and in so doing drew off Also but uncon-
sciously, the ring in question. On return
ing TO the Chateau she perceived that the
ring was gone; and rs it was not only of
immense pecuniaTy value, but highly priced
by her IS a souuenir, her anxiety TO have
found i may be imagined. Notices were at
once put up all over the estate, announcing
the loss Of the ring, promising reward and
Of 500 francs for its recovery.
The keepers, gardeners and servants of
the Chateau were greatly excited by the
incident, and nothing was talked Of that
evening on the estate of Ferrieres but the
lost ring and the reward offered for it. But
the park is so vast, the alleys were so full of
mud and dead leaves, that no one ventured
to hope that the ring could be recovered.
The daughter of the head. keeper, who had
been IN the service of Madame Alphouse de
Rothschi.d, and was much attached to her,
was especially excited on the subject, and
lay aT AXE in her bid the greater part of
the night, unable to sleep for thinking of the
sorrow the young Baroness would feel at the
loss OF this precious ring, and wishing that
it were possible for her to find it. 1t was
not until toward morning that she fell
asleep, when she dreamed that stranger
appeared to her, and thus addressed her
AS 5Oon as day breaks, go to the crossroads,
next TO the old stone cross; you will find
the ring in a heap Of rotten leaves, at the
foot of the great elm, at the edge of the
ditch Waking from her sleep as the
stranger ceased speaking, the girl sprang out
of led, dressed herself with the utmost ex-
peditiou, and FASTENED to the spot indicated
in her dream, pushed aside the dead leaves
at the foot cf the tree, aud beheId the missing
ring, "shiLiGg like glow-worm"
Joyfully possessing herself of the treasure,
she rushed back to the Chateau, shouting
IS she went, 1--WE found the ring I've
found the ringW Five minutes aterward
the Baroness Alphonse had the missing token
on ber finger. and the keepers daughter
found herself possessed of dot that viii,
no doubt, raise her immensely in the eyes of
all the lads in the neighborhood Of Ferrieres.
AS the Baroness James de Rothschild, the
head of the family, is devout believer in
the supernatural the girls story met with
general credence at the Chateau, whence it
spread rapidly, and was soon the general
topic Of the gossp-loving saloons of the
Capital, where it is now being discussed by
the believers and unbelieyers in spiritual
Influences; those who refuse to accept the
fact of the dream being unable to explain by
what other agency she could have succeeded
in finding so small an object, lost under such
circumstances. AS to the great banker
when questioned as to his opinion in regard
to the d-eam, he invariably answers, "rhe
ring is found-tat is the important point;
the rest is Of no consequence"
