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.

It’s unkind to keep that story floating about Nero fiddling overthe burning Home when he hasn't thecouveniences for writ ing an explanatory card to the newspapers. He might have been fiddling a little, but probably hadn’t heard the fire alarm.

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 j pendent. Mr. Lunar's Historical Recollections and Views To tht‘ Editor (f the Nor York Sun: 1 Sin: You have been pleased to pub ; lieli 111 your [isper of the Uth inst., a let ! tor written by me on the 13th of April, ' lHlil, as matter of history. That period was very fruitful in histor ical events, and I feet assured that you will not refuse to record for the future | historian another incident that occurred ! about that time. 1 have some very distinct recollections of a certain organization known as “The Billy Wilson Regiment,” that was com posed, every man of them, from the Colonel to the lowest private, of convicts from the penitentiary of this State, men whom neither the laws of God nor man could restrain from crime but within the walls of a prison. This was the first regiment armed and equipped for war Upon an unoffending people. They wen lauded and encouraged by the politicians; they paraded the streets with the honors usually (mid to volunteer patriots in (In service kif their country, and they were egged on by ministers of the Gospel, so called; and on one occasion, at least, they wen-assembled in Tammany Hall ami were made to kneel down and take the most horrible and execrable oathsagnilint South ern people; and their worthy Colonel ex hibited a gold watch and told them “there were many thousands such down South, I and all they had to do was to take them.” Had the sentiments of my letter pre ; vailed at the North there would have been ; no war, and a tenth of its cost would have ' made 1 very slave a freeman, more than a million of lives would have been saved, w e should have continued a happy and prosperous people, protected by a Consti tution in all its vigor, in all our rights of ! persous and property, and without danger of arrests and imprisonment—except by legal process, and for crimes and misde meanors and with the assurance of a fair, open and speedy trial.

Lam ah. >.♦ 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 Wepdixo Toast. —At Tom Bad ger’s wedding his most intimate friend, Jack Lumley, was called upon for a toast. Jack could not remember the neat little speech he had been conning for a week, j The presence of a blooming damsel who j stared in his eyes frightened the elaborate toast out of his memory. But he felt himself equal to tin- occasion, and to the amazement of the guests said, “Badger, your health. May this day’s entertain ment he often repeated." Mrs. Bnd j ger fainted. 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 ure the dimensions of distant worlds mov ing swiftly on their orbits, and even cal culate the weight and density of a {flatlet with ft shite and pencil. So accurate are those calculations that were it possible to place Jupiter ill a pair of scales, they would verify their statements. Any number of figures multiplied by five will give the same result if divided by two. But rememlief lo add a cipher to the answer.when there is no remainder; anil when there is, whatever it may lie, annex five to the answer. Multiply 4(14 by five, anil the answer will be :i,820. Di vide it by two, and there will he 2:12. There being no remainder, now add a cipher. And next :if>7, and multiply by five. The answer will bo 1,785. By di j viding the first sum by two, there is 178 j and a remainder. Place a five at the end ! of the line, and the result will lie again 1,785. The science of figures is an unexplored j domain. Mr. Babbage’s calculating nia j chine indicated regions which the inventor | could not comprehend.

On Thursday the girls were entertained in the chapel by a mock marriage ceremony, in which Mr. ; and Mrs. Eeastnmn wen* married by Misa Morell, a teacher, who personified a eler ! gyrtmn The children are said to have been highly pleased. “The marriage re lation.” remarks the Springfield Repuhli cfin, “is such n joke, and divorce isso easy, that, Connecticut papers think it, well to prepare these candidates for reform to re gard the whole affair in the light of a dram atic performance, while the fact that a re ligious ceremony is burlesqued at the same time makes it nil the more edifying for youthful tuiuds. And who will say that the strictures of the Republican are not de served ? Si’ii' Haven Register. More tlmn twenty years ago n partv of thirteen friends, among whom were Alfred 1 de Mnssee, Theophila (Tanntier, and the ' Count de Flehae, sat at dinner ill one of 1 the leading I‘annum restaurants. It was j resolved to dine t<>gi ther every year in the ; same restaurant, on the anniversary of the j first banquet, and that when on, of the party was wanting to reserve a vacant place for his -pint at the festive hoard. In • the following year eleven met, then ten, i and three years later but seven of the onm i panions were left. In the course of the ! present year the last but one, the Count jde Flavignv, had died. The sole survivor, ; the painter Ruhelles, now eighty-four yean of age, true to the agreement., dined |in solitary state with the twelve other j seats unfilled not long since on the day j appointed. Is Enohanii at Her Ot.n Game? -The Courier-Journal snys it is an event that I England is anxious for us to get into a j row with Spain, and the advice of the En g! lish press ought hv no means to precipi tate ns into the conflict. The truth is. ! some British subjects w ere executed, and | the demands of that country for reparation would he more readily conceded by Spain if she were engaged in a war with the United States than at present. Besides, England could sell both belligerents arms and munitions. She would not only se cure the recognition of her claims for dam ages in the Virginias affair, but she eonld look on gleefully at the spectacle of two republics destroying each other, and her | manufacturers could make money out of both while they are on their way to des | potism and the devil. That would be ■ uice, indeed. A Danbury boy who roads the papers . wont to his father w ith a rope in his hand I and told that worthy that if he did not I give him fifty cents to buy a two-bladed | jack-knife he would forthwith hang him self. It was the place of the old man to j say: “Heaven forgive you, my son, for the awful thought, here’s the fifty cents.” He didn’t sav it, however. He merely twined his fingers in the young man’s tresses and bumped his lu-ad against the door jam un til the suicide thought it was the 4th of July night. Simpkins, having wedded and settled down, accumulated a slight sear over his eyebrow,the cause of which is unnecessary to state; but an inquisitive acquaintance j asked him whether it was a mark of chick en-pox. “Worse than that,” replied Simp- ■ kins. “It’s a mark of flu- hen-peck.” Near Arcadia, 111., lives Air.
