The Wing is very much concerned about The
fall elections in Virginia, and fears the Con-
sentative majority will not be as large as it de-
sires.
If chat perturbed spirit would only rest a
little while, and look at matters practically, it
would discover that the Republicans have no
wish to assume control of the Legislature, or
to reduce the numerical strength of the Con-
servatives. That party has gotten the State
into such a tangled up condition. and compile
Gated the financial relations of the people so
inextricably, that it would be madness for any
party that had Il care for its future to take up
on itself the burden of correcting tine evil
The Conservatives are welcome to the Legisla-
ture and all they can make out of it. They
will be held responsible for their mismanage-
ment and fathlcssness, and we prefer that
they should have another term to tighten the
cords around them. In '76 we will be very apt
to give them some trouble, when it comes to
the Presidential contest. The WAig had bet
ter suppress its pathos for the present, and
keep it for time when it will have need of it.
Conservative physie is killing the Conservative
partys and we have no disposition to interfere
with the management of the patient. When
they have settled the debt question, it will be
time enough to relieve them of responsibility.

An Extraordinary Occurrence.

The Washington Republican publishes the
following under the head of "a miracle: :" Mrs.
Lamb, wife of Mr. Francis Lamb, manufactur-
er Of looking glasses and picture frames, resi-
dence at No. 1912 Fourteenth street north,
west, has, for the past thirteen years been an
invalid and for nearly ten years Of that period
been confined to her bed and deprived Of the
use of her limbs. Her situation baffled the
professionals knowledge and skill, and sever
al of them confessed being unable to prescribe
the medicine that would produce a cure. In
this condition. unable to rise from her sick bed.
had she passed from year to year hoping for
the good time coming, when she would be re-
endowed with strength and the usefulness OF
her limbs Her friends were frequently with
her and mingled their prayers with hers for the
desired change. A little more than week ago
she sent request to the members OF the Young
Mems Christian Association asking that they
would make her condition the special object of
their PRAYERS that she might be raised from a
lingering disease, which had confined her in
bed for nearly ten years, and be restored to
health. The request was granted and the pray
ers made. few days afterwards, while Ia
ly friend was writing, she conversed OF her re-
liyiors feelings and sa6 that she believed she
would soon leave the sick bed; in fact, she be-
lieyed that she could walk at that Etime.-
Strange as it may appear, Mrs. Lamb, confident
of her ability to walk. rose from her bed and
in her stocking feet actually walked across the
room. and returning sat down in chair
Further questioning as to what had caused her
sudden and miraculous improvement the sick
lady replied that she sincerely believed it to be
the result of constant, faithful prayer to Heav-
en- for the lettering of her condition, and the
prayers had been answered. The fact of Mrs.
Lamb having got UP and walked soon spread,
and many friends visited the house to see her
and congratulate the family on the happy
change. In the evening prayer meeting was
held, at which she related her feelings before
and since walking, and belieI ed that the change
was permanent. The following Sunday, so
much had she improved that she rode in car
rage to the Mount Zion Church, Fifteenth and
/ r. streets northwest, Rev, Mr.. McKenny, pas
tor, and attended divine service. Since that
time other prayer meetings have been held,
and she is unceasing in her devotions, praise
and Thanksgiving to God for raising her up
and making her whole. She believes that it,will
not be many days ere she has become very
sound and healthy. At present she experien-
ces set1ie trouble in walking, her feet being
very tender from want of exercise. The case
is a strange one, and attracts much censidera-
ton and talk among the church people.

The Dispatch says that the editor OF the

the Democratic party in 1861. True, but we
divexzed at Charleston, when Butler took up
JEFF. Davis and we supported Stephen A.
Douglas. We have no disposition to dsclaim
the facts of that memorable occasion, for we
are now controlled by the same sentiment and
conviction tAat then influenced us to oppose
the 'Scarlet Letter. and ''Cotton States
League plan of Yancey. We do not believe
that the Yaneey and Davis theory of govern

who stiff hug that delusion are enemies to the

GAS EXPLOSION.

A tremendous and destructive gas explo-
sion occurred recently in Great Lister
street, Birmingham. So far as can be as
certained, there hes been a leakage from
the water mains in the street for some time
past, and this caused a subsidence of the
soil Of the roadway, forming a cavity be-
meath the surface. 1t is believed that the
sinking Of the earth tore away a service
pipe from the main of the Birmingham and
Staffordshire Gas Company, and thus a
large escape Of gas took place. The gas
which had accumulated in this cavity, and
in the sewer adjacent it is believed, was
fired by person throwing a lighted fuse
into q hole which had formed in the road
way. InstantaneouSly terrible explosion
took place, followed by two other explosions
ut other portions of the street, right and
left AT the scene of the central explosion
the earth WAS torn up, and shortly chasm
twenty-five feet IN diameter and eight feet
in dcpth was formed. The other explosions
took place at ''man- holes" connected with
the sewer, the covers of which were blown
away an, the pavement tore up. Many of
the houses and shops in the neighborhood
have been severely damaged, and four OF
five persons have sustained inj juries more or
less severe.

A TARTAR TENT.

A writer on the Tartars says: Their
tents are made of felt, stretched on a frame
work of thin curved strips of wood six feet
long, which folds up for the camels to car
ry, and when opened out take the form Of
a segment of circle. Four of the frames
form the circular side of the tent; and on
the top are placed curved rafters which
concentrate in hoop three or four feet in
diameter, which is the roof-tree and CHM
ney. As soon as it is all bound together
with camers hair ropes, nothing short of a
tornado will make it bulge. When the
bright fire of the sdrdul "a shrub which
serves as fuel here,) throws its ruddy light
over the bright colored carpets, rugs, and
cushions which are so spread within, and
lights up the arms and cooking utensils
the saddles and brides, Tartar guitars, and
various household articles which are
hung upon light trellis of wood covered
with thick white felt, there are less pleas.
ing interiors to be seen not far from Lon.
don or New York than the kibitka of the
Tartar.

EXTRACTING NEEDLES Or BITS OF
IRoN.-A simple and usually successful
mode Of extracting a needle or any
piece of steel or iron broken off IN the
flesh is accomplished by the application
of simple pocket magnet. An ac-
quaintancc of ours had little daughter
who recently broke a needle off in her
hand. \ surgeon was called, who
made several efforts to find the needle
by probing and incision, but without
success. After the surgeon had left,
the mother conceived the idea ftrying
a magnet; one was procured, and after
one or two applications Off the broken
fragment was discovered attached to
the magnet. The idea will be OF spec
i'll utility to workers in iron. Machine
shop surgery is not the most delicate
or least painful, though men undergo
il rather than stand the loss Of time due
TO ain infamed eye or fcstered finger.
Iron filings have a way Of imbedding
themselves in the eye, which deties al
most every ordinary means for their
extrication. For their removal, a
small. blunt pointed bar of steel, well
mqgnetized. will be found excellent,
and we should recommend that work
men liable to such injuries keep such
an instrument about. 1t would be a
good plan TO insert such a bar IN q
penknife, in a manner similar to q
blade.
