The Times says the fusion Is also desirsd by
the radicals. Its defeat is fortunate, as ft would
be tantamount to an occult assembly, free from

now debated In the chambers. The left center
Is nesitant In regard to the impeachment. At

Remarkable Recovery Of . Diamond
Ring.

A rather remarkable instance happen.
ed in the little town Of Musco:ah, . few
days ago, that may be recorded among
the marvellous romances of the day.
About seven years ago Mrs. Senator
Pomeroy was visiting relatives at Mus
cotsh, in the family Of Rev. l.. Pomeroy.
One day, by some unexplainable cause,
she mysteriously lost q very valuable
diamond ring, worth $3.50. The oc-
currence At the time was . genuine SEN
sation, and days were spent in looking
for the jewel. Help was employed, and
every conceivable nook and corner ex-
plored, the search continuing for .
week. The Senator's wife finally gave
up in despair, and the ring was consid-
cred ~irrecoverably lost. The years
passed by, and while the hopes Of again
finding the jewel were considered very
slight, it WIS., still kept in memory, ard
in hopes that some day it might come 10
light.
Last Monday Mrs. Pomeroy had an.
other guest who occupied the same room
IS did Mrs. Senator Pomeroy over seven
years ago. In cleaning up the room
preparatory to receiving her, the bed
were taken ont, when, 70 the as-
of all, in one OF the s2irAls,
lodged, was the missing ring.
Mrs. Pomeroy, Who was in New YORK,
Was immediately informed of the recov-
cry by telegraph. and ageneral celebra-
Jon was held over the event.-Atehisos
