TIE VIRGINIA and Tennessee elections
have been claimed and disclaimed by both
political parties, and we arc yet in the dark
as to the political status of either State. One
thing, however, is very evident, the Radical
party is dismayed and chop-fallen at the re-
suits. The Administration ordered its adj
herenls 10 work for Wells and Stokes re-
spectively, under certain pains and penal
ties, but the voters, disregarding oil threats,
elected the opponents of the Washington
pets, and so placed the political complexion
Of both States in doubt; and doubt in the
popular mind is u huge stride toward con.
servatism, In these days OF Immaculate
Radical orthodoxy.

tol,ing n walk. lost valuable diamond ring
from her finger in some unaccountable way
Diliqent and extensive search was made, with
ont any clue to the ring, and the lady gave 1t
mn as gone " for good and ALL" Before day
lieht the following morning the lady was sur
npised by the calls of her nurse, small negro
eirl. On being admitted to her mistress, the
eiri who had not heard of the ring being lost,
said she had Just had a dream, in which she
was onprised when, where and how the jewel
had been lost and that, il allowed, she felt
sure she could find it. She then described the
Mace and manner in which the ring disap-
peared. and begged her mistress to go with her
and test the dream. This strange circum-
stance was made known to the household, but
ali treated II with the utmost incredulity. 1t
was afterwards concluded to humor the girl,
however. and she and several white members
| of the family proceeded to the designated spot
more than a hundred yards from the house.
Here the dreamer told her mistress that, as
directed in her dream, she must drop another
ring. and it would roll as a guide to the miss
ing one. plain gold ring was handed th'
girl I. she let it fall, and sure enough it ROLLED
and stopped within two inches of the lost dia
mond ring, which had got into a crevice be
tween two bricks of the pavement. 1t ma.
be imagined that the ring hunters were some
what astounded at the miracle. There is no

would cost more 10 send those articles 10
Europe than they would sell at when they
got there.
