A Marvelous Narrative.
The St Loiiin Repiiblic/tn pnblMie* tin
account of a trial involving a moat inarvcl
oua question of identity now progreaaing
in court nt Malone, Franklin county, N.
Y. The Rtory goon Hint Willis Payton, a
farmer, forty years of age, went Hontli
two yearn ago to ]x*ldle a patent spring
bed, leaving a wife nnd several children,
somo of whom were well grown. At Terre
Haute he spent some time, and after leav
ing that place he lost all eonaeionanesa,
but after a time realized that he waa in a
hoapitid at Evunsville, bid., recovering
from small-pox. He waa then bald, and
when lie resmnrd his clothing every arti
cle appeared to have l>een made for a much
smaller man. The pantaloons, which ho
reooguieed as his, were ut least six incites
too short, He could get no trace of his
money, watch, mialel spring bed, or other
effects. When ho was released from the
hospital he went to a friend, who spurned
him ns an impostor.
He looked in a mirror and doubted his
own identity. He first thought of suicide,
and his next thought waa of home. The
hitter prevailed. On the wav he was taken
ill again, and once more all tin* world was
n blank. Ho finally arrived at hia own
door after an absence of two years. Wil
lis Peyton’s family believed him dead.
The Willis Peyton who had left, that thres
hold two years before had light hair, near
ly red, and a very scanty heard, mid was
thin in flesh. The Willis Peyton who
now knoekeil at the door was much taller,
rounder, and had brown curly linir nnd a
heavy beard. He knoekeil and was invited
into the house of the “Widow Peyton,”
and took a seat, booking at Mrs. Peyton
lie said: “I suppose you don't know me,
Addle ?” She answered: “No, sir, 1 do
not; who are von ?” The man burst into
tears and said; “You’ll not believe me,
I know, when I ti ll you; hut it's got to
come some time, and might as well now as
not. I'm Willis Ponton,” Mrs. Peyton
shrank from him, ordered him out of doors
nnd two of her sons and a hired man took
him to the nearest jnstiee, who sent him
to jail as a lunatic. He was first tried by
a commission of lunacy, and was adjudged
perfectly sane.
Ho is now being tried before the surro
gate on the question of his pretensions n
too husband of Mrs. Peyton and the owner
of the Peyton property. He has shown
marks on his person, related instances of
his private family history, recalled cir
cumstances in connection with old asso
ciates. all tending to prove the truth of
liis claim. And the “widow I'ey ton" sits
in the court room, by turns looking at the
claimant to her bed and board, and cry
ing as witnoss after witness avows his be
lief t hat the strange man is Willis Peyton.
She has told her friends that, if he really is
Peyton he may have the farm, stock, nnd
everything but herself. Sometimes dur
ing passages of the trial ho implores her
♦o look again and see if she cannot recog
nize ouo feature and acknowledge him an
her husband, hut she refuses, nud his earn
est. appealing face suddenly becomes
clouded by despair. He says if the suit
terminates in his favor he will only ask a
living off the farm, and will never intrude
upon liis wife and children, unions they
voluntarily recognize him.
Finding Each Other Out.
Robert Oliver kvh that after voting
pcopje marry they have to find each other
out, ami they upend a lifetime in doing
that, tjhmnt married folks find each other;
out as I have read of manners finding out
the polar world. They leave of
their single life in the spring-daw. with
fours and lamedietions, sail on awhile in
sunshine amt fair weather, and then find
their way little by little into the eold lati
tudes, where they see the sun sink day by
day. and feel the frost creep in, until they 1
give up at last, and tnru to ieo sitting at
the same table. Others, again, find each
other out ns we have been finding out this
this continent. They nestle down at first j
among the meadows, close by the clear
atreams; then they go on through a belt 1
of shadow, lose their way and find it again ‘
the best they know, and come out into s
larger horizon and a better laud; they
meet their difficult hills and climb them
together, strike deserts and dismal {daces,
ana cross them together; and so at. last
they stand on the further reaches of the
mountains,and see the other ocean, sun- :
ning itself, sweet and still, and then their
journey ends, lint through shadows and
shine this is the gospel of the day; they
keep together right on to the end. They
allow no danger, disaster, or difference to
divide them, and no third person to inter
fere. for if they tip it may l>e as if William
and Alary of England had permitted the
great Louis to divide their throne by first
dividing their hearts.
‘‘Did you hear lav definition of. mar
risge ? Sidney Smith says: ‘lt resembles a
pair of shears so joined that they cannot!
be separated; often moving in opposite di
reotions, yet always punishing any who
comes between them.' The definition is j
as witty as it is wise; and lie might have
added, part the shears and then nil you
have is two poor daggers.
“Ho it is possible we may grow aged iu
fiudiug each other out, and wondering
why we never saw that trait before, or
struck that temper; but if there be la-tween
us a true heart, if the rivet holds, then the
added years will only bring added reasons
for a perfect union, and the sweet obi bal
lad will bo our psalm of life:
‘“John Anderson, my Jo. J-,bn,
We cloiuli file hill togjther;
Ami many a canty tby, John,
We've Usd sfiktio wither;
Now we rn.vui taodle down, John,
But blind in hand wt 11 yo.
And sleep together st the foot,
* John Anderson, my Jo.‘
“We must find each other out, and
then it is possible that, like my mother’s
old shears, over which I used to (snider
when I was a child, one side is greater 11ml
the other, bycoitwijucneo. less.’’

Interest Kates of the Bank of England.
The rate of interest being left by law to 1
its own discretion, the iiimk of England
has for n series of years adopted the rule :
of increasing the rate whenever it found \
itself subjected to a foreign drain upon its i
bullion reserve. When the drain is sus
pended, and tin- bullion returns back to
the hank in sufficient quantity, then its
practice is to lower the rate. Thus its '
interest charge fluctuates between two and j
a half or three per cent, and eight or even
ten per cent. These changes of rate are
of frequent occurrence, and sometimes
they swing over a broad space in a single
year. They are baaed on the state of the
bullion reserve of the bank in respect to
the foreign demand upon it, and designed
to cheek the outflow when the demand is
too great for its own safety.
The experience of years proves that
such an increase iu the rate of interest
arrests this outward movement of specie
and brings bullion back to the bunk. The
Ihink of England is the great banking in
stitution of London and Great Britain,
and, hence, whatever rate it charges be
comes at once the current rate for the use
of money. Its ascendency enables it to
determine this question, not only for itself
but for all the other hanks and bankers.
They must follow its rate.
\Vhat, then, is the theory of the result
which is thus attested by experience?
Ilow does it come to pass that a raise in
the rate of interest will stop the outward
movement of gold and turn the current
hack again toward the hank ? To this
question there are two answers.
In the first place, money in the form of
loanable capital is very sure to go where
the Use of it will yield the largest profit.
It naturally seeks the best loaning market.
When, therefore, money can be loaned in
Loudon at high ntfes of interest—higher
than it can he if kept where it is - it will
immediately atari for London in large
sums; and as sure os it comes there it will
find its way into the vaults of the Bank of
England as the plane of safe deposit. The
credit of the hank lining beyond a question,
capitalists nnd bankers iu other countries
at once transfer tlieir loanable funds to
Lombard street, as the best market for
loaning them; ami this in a short time
counteracts the bullion drain upon the
Bank of England. The experiment of
raising the rate of interest, witli this result
following, has been so often made that it
lias ceased to be an experiment.
in the the second place, an increase in
the rate of increas produces n slower yet
equally certain effect upon the trade of the
country. It adds to the value of money,
nnd this involves a reduction of prices,
i It, heneo, makes Great Britain a poorer
! country ii which !o sell imported goods,the
effect of which is to diminish their quan
\ tity, while increasing that of exports; and,
: hence, by reducing importations and iu
| creasing exportations, it either changes
the balance of trade from one side to the
j other or so lessens un adverse balance that
the foreign demand for bullion will be de
' creased. English trade directly feels the
effect of the increased rate iu the sense of
buying less abroad. This lessens the for
eign demand for bullion, and in the same
proportion lessens its drain from the Bank
of England.
No such operation is practicable in this
country, even with specie payment, for we
have no Bank of England here; and, more
over, if wo lmd, the laws regulating inter
jest would make it impossible. Otir only
i mode of turning the current of gold to
! ward us, rather.than from ns, is by a bill
-1 alien of trade in our favor. V. }'. hule

Tub Bust Bale of Cotton in the
Woki.ii. -The prize for the best bale of
cotton at the Vienna Exposition was
awarded to Mr. Greenwood and Mr. Mc-
Call, of New Orleans, on a bale raised in
the State of Mississippi. We are pleased
to give the following details of its history
from the .I lississijypi Central, at Water
Valley.
In 1871. Henry Broom, a farmer living
three miles cost of Ooffeeville, in Yalo
busha county, Mississippi, raised and sold
a bale of cotton at L. R. Williamson’s to
Bryant & Herron, of Ooffeeville, for 18.35
-cuts per pound. This firm, attracted by
its very superior qu dity, marked the bale
"Beauty,” and shipped it to Stewart
Brothers & Cos., New Orleans. Those
merchants put it on exhibition at the
State Fair of Louisians and won the first
prize, 8250, and diploma, as the best spec
imen of short staple. It was there sold to
Mr. Greenwood and Mr. McCall for 25
cents a pound. These enterprising gentle
men, appreciating the extraordinary qual
ity of their purchase, had it finely fitted
up, with silver plated hoops and duck bag
ging, and sent it to the exhibition at Vien
na, where it received the first prize.

The First Element of a Home.
I never saw a garment too fine for man I
or maid; there was never a chair too good 1
for a cobbler of cooper to ait in; never a |
house too fine to shelter the human head. 1
These elements about us, the gorgeous!
sky, the imperial sun, are not too good for !
the human race. Elegance fits man. But j
do we not vulne these tools of lionsekcep-1
ing a little more than they are worth, and
sometimes mortgage home for the mu
, hominy we would tiring into it ? I had
rather eat my dinner off the head of a
barrel or dress after the fashion of John
the Baptist in the wilderness, or sit on a
block all my life, than consume all myself
before I gel a home, and take so much
j pains with the outside that the inside was
as hollow as an empty nut. Beauty is a
great thing, but beauty of garments, house
and furniture is a very tawdry ornament
j compared with domestic love. All the
elegance in the World will not make a
j home, and I would give more for a spoon
ful of hearty love than for whole ship-loads
! of furniture, and all the upholsters of the
world could gather together.
Mr r.Tiri.VrNo BT Frvr.—Figures are ex
traordinary instrumentalities in the service
of mathematicians. With them they meas

Any number of figures multiplied by
